JColvin Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hello! I'm excited to announce that Digilent has our first Kickstarter project for the OpenScope! I won't be able to give the project proper justice in describing the OpenScope and WaveForms Live, so I encourage you to check out the Kickstarter to learn more about the mission of the project. With regards to this sub forum, Digilent would like this to be a place where backers of the Kickstarter are able to ask questions and provide feedback for both the OpenScope and the browser based WaveForms Live. As such, we kindly request that only backers of the project ask questions related to the OpenScope and WaveForms Live and provide feedback related to functionality, features, and the like. Those of us involved with the project at Digilent will do our best to respond back to those questions and feedback. However, if you just have some general encouragement or other positive feedback that doesn't fall into the described request in the above paragraph that you want to post here, I personally won't feel a need to stop you Thanks!

JColvin Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 On a more personal note, I'm pretty excited about the project and have put some money where my mouth is and backed the project myself to show my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muqeet Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thank you Larissa, I think you had replied to me on Kickstarter. Thank you for reply here again! Looks like a very cool project. I wish I was in EE school now and not in 2006-2009 time frame. So cool to have O'scope in your pocket :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qriusGate Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Since the openscope is open-source, 1. Can it be modified to be higher spec? I would love to see higher MSPS rate and current going through each of the lines 2. Do you have the PCB layout and parts list publically available? I want to try my hand at modifying it to get those higher specs in case I am unable to modify the parts directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hey qriusGate, Yes OpenScope is open source and we'd love for you to play around with the firmware, however I don't think you'll be able to squeeze much more performance out of it. Keith did the hardware and firmware and he likes to joke that he is using 9 of the 8 DMA's (because he has to share one between two instruments). We're really pushing the hardware to the limits and after we're done with our 1.0 feature set and our kickstarter stretch goals Keith is going to put together a presentation on how the entire hardware / firmware system works, so stay tuned for that. We'll posts the firmware and schematics on GitHub and to them from the OpenScope MZ landing page on our wiki once we finalize everything. We'll also link to Keith's presentation there. -Kristoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
