This repo contains supporting schematics, code and spreadsheets (or at least that's the plan)
Some notes from markusthegeek:
Be sure to use the Earle Philhower library for the Pi Pico with the Arduino IDE. You must press the boot button when powering the board to program it the first time when using the Arduino IDE.
When you clone the repo use the "sip-header-code" branch if you want to use it with the S8 Hackaday Badge

Questions
How big is the OscilliscopArt PCB?
It measures 37 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the OscilliscopArt use?
10 parts, built around the MCP4902-E/P. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the OscilliscopArt KiCad files?
From the JacobChrist/HackadayS8-OscilliscopeArt repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/OscilliscopArt.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/OscilliscopArt.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the OscilliscopArt design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JacobChrist before reusing the design.
