A new open source multifunctional piece of programmable hardware has been created by Digilent which can be used to perform a number of different functions such as an Oscilloscope, a Function Generator, a Logic Analyser, Power Supply, or a Data Logger.
Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the multifunctional programmable instrument which can be used for capturing, visualising and controlling our analog and digital signals whenever you may need.
OpenScope is now available to back from just $25 via Kickstarter for earlybird backers and worldwide shipping of the final hardware is expected to take place during March 2017.
Why did we make OpenScope?
Simply put, our mission is to make learning and using electronics accessible to all.
In the path of learning and using electronics, instrumentation is required to view what’s really happening at the circuit level. Instead of spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on conventional benchtop instruments, we’ve created a tool powerful enough for most hobby electronics projects and affordable for most beginner budgets. By transforming popular open source platforms into affordable and powerful instrumentation, we are empowering makers, hobbyists, engineers, and new learners to design and debug their most innovative products!What is OpenScope?
OpenScope is a portable multi-function programmable instrumentation module. What does that mean? It’s a device that you connect to your computer (through WiFi or a USB cable) that allows you to acquire, analyze, visualize, and control signals from circuits, sensors, and other electronic devices. Unlike typical USB instruments, OpenScope can also be programmed to run standalone like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, but with high-speed precision analog and digital I/O. OpenScope also comes with WaveForms Live. It’s a free open-source JavaScript-based software that runs in a browser and is inspired by our extremely popular software tool, WaveForms 2015.
