The DIY Mini Digital Oscilloscope Kit (with shell) is an easy-to-build kit for a tiny digital oscilloscope. Besides the power switch, it has only one other control, a rotary encoder with a built-in pushbutton. The kit's microcontroller comes preprogrammed. The 0.96" OLED display has a resolution of 128 x 64 pixels. The oscilloscope features one channel that can measure signals up to 100 kHz. The maximum input voltage is 30 V, the minimum voltage is 0 V.
The kit consists of through-hole components (THT) are surface-mount devices (SMD). Therefore, assembling the kit means soldering SMD parts, which requires some soldering experience.

The MicroMod DIY Carrier Kit includes five M.2 connectors (4.2mm height), screws, and standoffs so that you can get all the special parts you may need to make your own carrier board. MicroMod uses the standard M.2 connector. This is the same connector found on modern motherboards and laptops. There are various locations for the plastic ‘key’ on the M.2 connector to prevent a user from inserting an incompatible device. The MicroMod standard uses the ‘E’ key and further modifies the M.2 standard by moving the mounting screw 4mm to the side. The ‘E’ key is fairly common so a user could insert an M.2 compatible Wifi module. Still, because the screw mount doesn’t align, the user would not secure an incompatible device into a MicroMod carrier board.
