I just got my new oscilloscope in the mail today and am extremely happy with it!
I have one question about it's behavior though. I made this circuit on a breadboard so that I could see the capacitor discharging. The probe was connected where the X's are.
The weird thing is that this circuit would work perfectly fine without the probe in there. When the probe was in there though, the LED would stay on just faintly. And even if the capacitor had drained all the way and the LED was off, if i stuck the probe in there, the LED would come back on faintly.
This only happens when the probe is connected to the scope, and it doesn't matter if the scope is on or off. The probe was in X1 mode.
Wuts a matta' here? Thanx :lol:
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to attatch the schematic! I do that all the time.
