miniscope v2

Simple but useful miniature digital storage oscilloscope with USB interface. Additional data logger mode for long-term measuring. Based on AT91SAM7S64 microcontroller.


Software and communication protocol are based on previous two DSO projects.

Brief documentation (updated with sources): armscope doxygen

Firmware version 20090613 (7-zip 114 kB)
armscope_dll_0_0_7.7z - input DLL for miniscope v3 application
armscope_dll_0_0_8.7z - input DLL for miniscope v3 application, version 0.0.8 with sensitivity calibration
armscope_dll_0_0_9.7z - increased receive buffer size

2009.09.21 New ARM firmware and device library - increased maximum sampling frequency from 300 kSps to 500 kSps. Receiving buffer size for dll set to 512 B.
Firmware 20090921, compiled with WinARM 20070505
armscope_dll_0_0_10.7z

2009.09.23 Added C29 1nF near ADC input of microcontroller - output noise was greatly reduced. D'oh!
Electric scheme 2009.09.23

2009.10.12 Little improvement to speed of fetching data from device. Added 500Hz sampling setting.
armscope_dll_0_0_11.7z

2009.10.18 Some changes to read/write queue scheme.
armscope_dll_0_0_12.7z

2010.03.11 Added alternative firmware + dll set working with this hardware - miniscope v2a.

2010.03.19 Probably first (not counting my prototype) device based on miniscope v2, photo sent by Jakub Niziołek. Circuit was splitted into two boards: analog and digital part. Analog part is slightly simplified (no sensitivity and coupling type selection).

2010.04.18 Corrected inaccurate sampling period reported to GUI application (mostly when selected highest sampling frequency - almost 2% error). Similar fix applied to miniscope v2a library.
armscope_dll_0_0_13.7z

2010.04.22 Added some description of armscope v2 scheme.

2011.06.22 Miniscope v2 turns obsolete. New hardware project (eagle) is moved to miniscope v2b page.
