I sometimes find it difficult to get a scope to trigger on a small change in the measured signal. You are not expecting a periodic signal that can be triggered 10 or 100 times a second to give you a nice stable display, so how are you going to 'capture' the 15 mV change?
I thought that an externally-powered USB hub would still allow you to plug your computer and the Arduino both in - but my computer tells me that the com port is not found. I guess you already knew that!
