I've been doing some projects with arduino for the last several weeks and come to realize that my trouble shooting time would be substantially reduced if I had a scope. Based on the experience of this forum I'd like to buy a 2-channel, portable scope that would be around the $100 range. When selecting a scope the BW is the thing that mostly influences price. I would think that a BW=200MHz would be adequate? On the lower priced scopes are the rise/fall times, sample rates and memory adequate for most Arduino development? My additional projects might be remote car, drone, some WiFi development. I don't need fancy but functional. ---

$100/200Mhz 🎨 This has been discussed soooo many times here. Did you search the forum for the topic? Why do you think you need a scope? ---

Loooong Thread on this [here](http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=215441). I reckon it is worth reading. I got myself a [DS203](http://wiki.seeed.cc/DSO_Quad/) pocket oscilloscope and I am very pleased with it. I only use it occasionally and I don't really have space to store a larger 'scope. ...R ---
