DPScope - Build Your Own USB/PC-Based Oscilloscope

Step 38 All Done!

Now put the bottom cover on the instrument and screw it shut with the four Philips screws.

Congratulations, you have successfully assembled, set up and tested your new oscilloscope!

As a reminder, you can get the DPScope as a kit or fully assembled from my website:

Webpage: http://www.dpscope.com

From there you can also download the PC software, user manual, drivers, and other documentation.

If you still have questions do not hesitate to contact me!

when will be ur AWG??
atleast send circuit diagram

I had to put the AWG on the back burner for the moment. I have the full schematic but still need to breadboard the full circuit in the real world and develop firmware and PC software. I don't want to publish a circuit that hasn't been thoroughly tested first...

The "no-frills oscilloscope" is well on its way - the prototype is working fine and being tested and the software developed as we speak. Don't expect it to replace the DPScope though.

Most nicely explained project. Could there be another projects ?
Best wiches.

Yes, there will be. Right now I am working on a simple AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) and a very simple, no-frills oscilloscope (much less capable than the DPScope but also even lower cost). The AWG should make a nice complement to the DPScope.

Both instruments will use the PC for control and display, just like the DPScope. The challenge here is to reduce component cost to absolute minimum. Microchip has a couple low-end, low-cost (a third of the price of a 18F2550 or 18F4550) USB-capable microcontrollers that will be fun to work with. Right now I'm waiting for the development board for them.

Stay tuned!
