Hello Hozan 677

To connect your GPIO pins in a safe way (prevent shortcuts) with a probe, the following article can be very usefull:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/40pcs-dupont-cable-jumper-wire-dupont-line-male-to-female-dupont-line-2-54mm-20cm-1p/32481062593.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000017.2.ncfieo

The individual feeders/wires of the ribbon cable can be separated easily and the small female plugs fit nicely over the gpio pins.

The male plugs of these cables can be used to clamp the probe of the scope on.

Good luck
