Oscilloscope using AVR microcontroller

Designing a professional digital oscilloscope is a pretty complex task wich makes them also pretty expensive. Therefore I concluded it’s nothing more than a daydream to design one of those. It’s far more realistic to limit the design of this instrument to something a bit more realistic. If you connect something like the JYE Tech

Turn your TV into a Digital Voltmeter using Atmels AVR 90S1200 microcontroller

Turn your TV into a Digital Voltmeter using Atmel’s AVR 90S1200 microcontroller

This is an interesting voltmeter project that display the measured voltage on a TV screen, in giant digits as well as with analog bar. It also records the maximum and minimum values of measurements. The project was built by Alberto Ricci Bitti and was published in the May 1999 issue of Elektor Electonics. The circuit

Digital oscilloscope GLCD using Atmega32 microcontroller

This project describes how to make a digital oscilloscope using an Atmega32 microcontroller and a graphics LCD. The GLCD used has 64*128 pixel dots (GDM12864A with KS0108 processor) and the AVR runs at 16 MHz using an external crystal oscillator. To enhance the speed further, it uses an external A/D converter chip, ADC0820. The sampling
