Arduino Oscilloscope with Processing.

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 11 years ago

Hi, I think this would be a highly useful build for those viewers on a budget. Not all of us have the ability to buy a oscilloscope so I think this would be replicated by a lot of people. It would run a processing sketch that would display a few different channels in different colors like red, green, or blue. And it wouldn't be big, it would be somewhat a compact package with an arduino and anything else that would make it work.

    Hi Jordan! If you're flexible on hardware, there is a simple analog signal viewer here that uses a Raspberry Pi and XMOS board, so still fairly cheap. It's not really an oscilloscope (none of these projects…

    I have to agree with @Michael Kellett, but how about a Raspberry Pi connected to a BitScope Micro for under $200? image

    For under $200 you can get a small oscilloscope.

    Still expensive in my opinion, but it's an oscilloscope nonetheless.

     

    Example:

    Portable Mini Nano Arm DSO201 Pocket Sized Handheld Digital Storage Oscilloscope | eBay

     

    There is also the XprotoLab Portable which Ben featured in one of his episodes.

    This one cost around $100
