An Introduction to Picotronix
A modular, low-cost test and measurement platform for makers, combining oscilloscope, logic analysis and extensible capabilities.
A modular mixed-signal instrument for makers
Powered By Two Raspberry Pi* Pico 2 Modules
Picotronix®
A Revolution in Test & Measurement
Start with an Open Architecture Picotronix® Command Module that is great for lots of stuff. Need more? Then plug-in up to three autoconfiguring picoPods to build the perfect plug-and-go, fit-for-purpose, modular precision instrument for makers.

Making a Case for Picotronix
picotronix is curently housed in a simple 3D printed extruded case. The design uses the MainBoard and the back Power board to enclose the circuits. A front panel made from a blank PCB completes the assembly making it a very minimal and practical design solution.
