Arduino Uno Programming: Arduino Oscilloscoperev 3 Board Interface: Pc Based Oscilloscope Using Arduino

Description

The Oscilloscope is one of the most important tools you will find on the workbench of any electronics engineer or maker. It is primarily used for viewing waveform and determining voltage levels, frequency, noise and other parameters of signals applied at its input that might change over time. It is also used by embedded software developers for code debugging and technicians for troubleshooting electronic devices during repair. These reasons make the oscilloscope a must have tool for any engineer. The only issue is they can be very expensive, Oscilloscopes that performs the most basic of functions with the least accuracy can be as expensive as $45 to $100 while the more advanced and efficient have cost over a $150. Today I will be demonstrating how to use the Arduino and a software, which will be developed with my favourite programming language Python, to build a low cost, 4-channel Arduino oscilloscope capable of performing the tasks for which some of the cheap oscilloscope are deployed like the display of waveforms and determination of voltage levels for signals.
