Comment on How I leared what a decoupling capacitor is for, the hard way

Comments

Slightly related note, the pictures in the articles show a handheld digital oscillscope. It's an Owon HDS200 series oscilloscope with signal generator and they are amazing and the lower frequency models are quite inexpensive.

I got myself one earlier this year and it does what it says on the tin. It can also be controlled from a computer via USB serial connection using a text based protocol (albeit poorly documented and a bit buggy). I used some python scripts to program the signal generator and then capture some measurements from the scope to check the frequency responses of some analog electronics circuits for guitar.

There is a small community around, there are a few repos on GitHub for using them and also this very long eevblog thred.
