You may have seen this on MAKEzine already, but it was too freakin’ cool to pass up. This guy in the Netherlands is selling a kit that turns the X and Y inputs of your oscilloscope into a clock. The kit uses the AtMega8515 microcontroller. It sounds like you can use it either on a scope that’s in active use, or an old one that you want to dedicate as a clock. I laughed at the idea of dedicating a working oscilloscope to a clock (I don’t even have my first scope yet, let alone one lying around!), but a quick peak at eBay shows a few old banged up (but working and cool-looking) models in the US$40-60 range. The clock kit costs $92 (69 EUR).
