POORMANs Arduino Portable Ocolliscope

in #arduino7 years ago

Born in a country sorrounded by mountains, himalayas and emmense cultural and spritual diversity, hi-fi electronic and electrical science was quite an illusive subject. In addition, during my bachelors study I had to take biological science as my Major because there was an emmense pressure from my family to make me become a doctor.However, I dodn't become a doctor but ended up as a biotechnologist. Nonetheless, my jest for electronics and programming never ended. Eventhough I was studing mainstream biology, I did always invested my free time for my childhood dream of making electronic gadgets and softwares. It was not easy as there were no easy kits and user friendly plateform for electronics and its programming. At one moment around 2010, I really gave up my electronics dream because of the complexity involved. Amazing with the introduction of Arduino my dream re-emerged as a possible reality for plethora of new electric projects involving microcontrollers . Using Arduino it just took few lines of code to make LED blink at a frequency that at past took brain-treaking ICs and transistors circuit.

Lately I have been interested in Oscolliscopes and Voltage-time graphs that has now been possible due to TFT LCD screens for Arduino. As uptill now, I have not been able to afford a decent Oscolliscope ( i would appreciate if someone could donate me one, old model is also fine). I have made one using arduino and voltage sensor along with builtin portable lithium polimer batter and voltage booster.DSC_0731.JPGDSC_0736.JPG

It cam easily measure dc voltage and signals with resonable resolution. Please do like my post and I hope I could get encouragement by your views and will try to post the full codes soon. THANK YOU
