The specs on the physical device are quite weak too. 100kHz scope, no mention of # of bits. Power supply isn’t programmable, just +-5V at 200mA. 5V PWM and “sine and triangle” is the function generator.

It’s definitely misleading to say this replaces $1000+ worth of equipment because I’m not sure you can buy equipment with this poor of specs.

A 100kHz scope, 2W fixed dual rail power supply, and a function generator that is anything but arbitrary means at the very least projects are constrained heavily. I think part of the joy of learning is going off of the beaten path a bit, and I think this is limiting enough to prevent that.

I’ve been on the lookout for cheaper stuff to recommend to friends looking to work their way down from classical software engineering towards embedded and I think this is relatively disappointing in that regard. Second hand seems like the way to go economically but I haven’t yet looked into proper sourcing for equipment.
