This document discusses building a development board for an ATMega8 microcontroller that functions as a simple oscilloscope. It outlines meeting specifications, minimizing costs, and completing the project in the shortest time as the core engineering values. It provides the specifications for the oscilloscope, discusses using AVR microcontroller features to implement it, and lists the tools needed including an AVR compiler and programmer. Circuits for a function generator and integrating the oscilloscope with a Python console are presented. The document emphasizes applying knowledge from school to implementation and building your own tools.
