DEMO VIDEO

In this project we will create a simple oscilloscope, using only the gizDuino LIN.
To start with, download processing software version 2 from https://processing.org/download/
The software is free and runs like the Arduino IDE.

Materials:

Upload the following code to your Arduino.

/*
Poor's Man Oscilloscope Arduino Skecth
This is an example code for reading the
analog input and to display the value
signal output on processing.
*/
#define ANALOG_IN 0
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int val = analogRead(ANALOG_IN);
Serial.write( 0xff );
Serial.write( (val >> 8) & 0xff );
Serial.write( val & 0xff );
}
