Raspberry Pi Oscilloscope Project
We created an affordable digital oscilloscope and function generator that is able to plot and produce at the same time generated electric signals voltage changing over time along a calibrated scale.
Raspberry pi oscilloscope project. Depending on the signal that wants to be measure one of these scales should be chosen and connected to the next stage of the circuit the filters stage. Bitscope mixed signal oscilloscopes and analyzers are fully compatible with raspberry pi. I would like to thank mr. Previous raspberry pi based oscilloscope required special hardware.
It has a frequency range of 1hz 2khz which depends of the sample frequency set by the user. The instrument uses its own timing and memory so there is no performance loss. For this project i ll demonstrate how to build a raspberry pi based oscilloscope that is also a wireless access point. I will show you step by step guide how to build a raspberry pi based oscilloscope without special hardware.
So yes the pi is powerful enough for an oscilloscope project. This is ideal for learning how electrical waveforms work. Daniel pelikan who first published the idea in the magpi magazine issue 24. There are three input voltage scales 2vpp 5vpp y 20vpp.
In this tutorial from the magpi issue 71 mike cook takes us through the process of building an oscilloscope using a raspberry pi and an arduino. Cook demonstrates how to use a raspberry pi 4 along with a digilent analog discovery 2 usb scope logic analyzer signal generator to create a portable electronics test suite. Replicating the signal visualization of the oscilloscope using the raspberry pi will require the following steps. They ve used a raspberry pi to create a device that performs both tasks at once.
This project is a full digital oscilloscope using a raspberry pi and an adc adc0831. For this project i used the tenda w311m from microcenter primarily because it is access point capable and inexpensive. In effect the device draws a graph of the instantaneous signal voltage as a function of time oscilloscopes are used in the science. Today s project will seek to replicate the signal visualization capabilities of the oscilloscope using the raspberry pi and an analog to digital converter module.
Perform digital to analog conversion of the input. As a bare minimum you ll need the raspberry pi and a ralink rt5370 based wi fi dongle. An even less. The whole device attaches to the back of a monitor via vesa mounting and plugs in with one cable to allow for easy transportation.
Connect any bitscope via usb or ethernet with raspberry pi to build a complete stand alone mixed signal oscilloscope logic analyzer spectrum analyzer and waveform generator.

An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of electronic signals.
