## What it is
Firmware for the PSLab Mini, an open-source pocket science lab instrument built on the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2350). It exposes SCPI commands over USB CDC serial to control an oscilloscope, logic analyser, and test signal generation.

## Use cases
- control an oscilloscope from a computer over USB serial
- capture digital signals with a logic analyser
- send SCPI commands to a lab instrument
- build experiments with an open-source pocket science lab
- port instrument firmware to Raspberry Pi Pico hardware
- generate test signals for electronics education

## When to choose
- you own a PSLab Mini or Pico-based PSLab board and need its firmware
- you want an open-source SCPI-controlled oscilloscope/logic-analyser on RP2350
- you are contributing to or extending the PSLab instrument platform

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose desktop oscilloscope application without PSLab hardware
- you need a finished, feature-complete instrument firmware today - the Pico port is still in progress
- you target STM32-based original PSLab boards, which use a different firmware

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: embedded, logging, testing
- domain: embedded-systems, hardware, developer-tools, education
- platform: embedded, c, cross-platform
