Arduino Basics

Have you heard about the EspoTek Labrador ?  A tiny board which can turn your computer into an - Oscilloscope - Waveform generator - Logic analyser - Multimeter - and Power supply. Great for makers or hobbyists with limited bench space or limited funds. Perfect for students and anyone starting out in the field of electronics As you will see in the video below, I take a prototype of the EspoTek Labrador for a spin, and try out all of the functions that this board can provide. I use an Arduino UNO, a couple of 433MHz RF modules, some LEDs and a speaker to see just how useful this board will be for my hobby requirements. I have been wanting an Oscilloscope for quite some time, and while this board does not necessarily win against a benchtop oscilloscope on a side-by-side comparison of specifications, it does make up for it somewhat in terms of price, space (or footprint), usability, and wide range of functionality. But does it actually function as an oscilliscope? Is it useful ? Will ...
