There’s no shortage of cheap digital oscilloscopes available today from the usual online retailers, but that doesn’t mean the appeal of building your own has gone away — especially when …read more Continue reading STM32 Offers Performance Gains for DIY Oscilloscope
When we talk about video games on an oscilloscope, you’d be pardoned for assuming the project involved an analog CRT scope in X-Y mode, with vector graphics for something like …read more Continue reading Tetris on an Oscilloscope, the Software Way
Making an oscilloscope is relatively easy, while making a very fast oscilloscope is hard. There’s a trick that converts a mundane instrument into a very fast one, it’s been around …read more Continue reading The Magic Of A Diode Sampler To Increase Oscilloscope Bandwidth
Modern computers are so fast and complex that we would seldom try and fix them on a component level with simple DIY tools. Working on an early 1980s computer is …read more Continue reading Fixing a C64 With a Cheap $20 Oscilloscope
A differential probe, a device for measuring the voltage between two points in a circuit rather than the voltage between a point and ground, it an extremely useful addition to …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: This Differential Scope Probe Is Smarter Than It Looks
We aren’t sure what’s coolest about [Richard Testardi’s] Flea-Scope. It costs about $13 plus the cost of making the PCB. It operates at 18 million samples per second. It also …read more Continue reading $13 Scope and Logic Analyzer Hits 18 Msps
If you read Hackaday, you probably get the title of [SunEstra’s] post: A Casual Date with the Dumpster. Many great hacking projects start with finding one man’s trash. This June, …read more Continue reading Saving a Scope from the Dumpster
A question for you: if the cathode ray tube had never been invented, what would an oscilloscope look like? We’re not sure ourselves, but it seems like something similar to …read more Continue reading Spinning CRT Makes a 360 Degree Audio Oscilloscope
[jgpeiro] is no slouch when it comes to building small, affordable oscilloscopes out of common microcontrollers. His most recent, based on an RP2040 with two channels that ran at 100 …read more Continue reading STM32 Oscilloscope Uses All the Features
To a lot of us, curve tracing seems to be one of those black magic things that only the true wizards understand. But as [DiodeGoneWild] explains, curve tracing really isn’t …read more Continue reading The Simplest Curve Tracer Ever
