Felixe,

I should post something soon. I do have the SigGen1 working. Am creating a lib to control the DDS

dfowler: Bode plots on a scope sounds like a great idea. Any articles about it coming soon?

And about the ScopeClock, I also thought that writing code for using it as a LCD display on a scope screen would be useful and interesting.

Felixe,

You are right, the MiniPov is well known.

I was just looking over the AVR Clock.

I was thinking that something like this might be used as a general purpose text/graphic display for lab use. Much like an LCD. I plan to buy one of the kits to play with.

I was wondering if I should try to do something like this with SigGen1 to display Bode plots on an OScope. I have SigGen1 doing Bode plots with the help of the scope now.

I think you forgot to mention one of her most popular kits–the Minipov– which now is in version 3. For example, v2 could be programmed using a parallel port and v3 uses rs232 so you can get going with a USB-to-serial cable.

Maybe those are good giveaway items. I have both and they’re great.

And as another suggestion, it could be Dutchtronix’s AVR Clock, it’s a nice kit for having an analog clock displayed in your scope using its xy mode. That has certainly drawn a lot of attention in my lab and it’s $30 USD including shipping.
