Norm Jackson and colleagues at Thort Werx are looking to put a low-cost mixed-signal oscilloscope and logic analyzer on every desk, turning to a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller boards to power the Picotronix — opening for crowdfunding soon.

“We’ve built a dual [Raspberry Pi] Pico 2-based mixed-signal capture system (oscilloscope + logic analyzer) using MicroPython and PIO/DMA [Programmable Input-Output/Direct Memory Access] in the RP2350,” Jackson tells us via email. “The project highlights many of the amazing features of the RP2350 and advanced techniques to build real time complex designs using MicroPython.”

More information is available on the Picotronix website; a Kickstarter campaign is planned for the near future, with pricing estimated at $99 without or $129 with LCD and $9–49 per picoPod, and interested parties are invited to sign up to be notified when crowdfunding opens.
