Using our awesome portable scope...

We received a portable scope as part of our home kit. It is a very useful debuffing tool. It comes with pin and hook probes. The was yo use the device properly is to hook one of the leads into the pin or trace that we want to understand and the other one to GND. Connecting them like this allows us to see signals and reading that are being read by the MC or by our devices. Below is a picture of us probing a square wave signal from the MC. Proper use of this device will save many ours of debugging in the future. We also learnt that it is much better to use the scope as a debugging tool over the classic multimeter. We can get more specific information with the scope. The waves that are measured below correspond to the signal being sent by the TX pin on an ATTINY412 with an NTC temperature sensor on it.
