#ngscopeclient — Public Fediverse posts

🎉 New video showing off running PCI express over COTS SFP modules and associated complications along with future plans.

And then a small side quest involving optical splitters and #ngscopeclient

Definitely on the long side, sorry about that 😬 But I hope it's still interesting 🤞

Continuing in the process of measuring the speed of my turntable in the oddest way; here is the FFT before and after oiling & replacing it's belt. Hmm, it's clearly a bit fast before and a bit slow after; it's not got any speed adjustment mechanism, it's a belt on an AC driven motor.
This FFT and plot was done using #labplot using the waveforms gathered by #ngscopeclient and saved via csv.
This is of course the wrong way to solve this problme.

if you use or contribute to #ngscopeclient: I will pay £150 to anyone who adds MHO98 support; I can provide access to a live scope to that end

And another first test: One instance of #ngscopeclient running with a PicoScope 4824 and a PicoScope 5444, eating each other's signal generator output.

Most important work is done; now on to some polishing and wiping out more bugs.

First test running the signal generator on a PicoScope 5000 using #ngscopeclient. Funny thing that the AWG is set to off 🤔...

Getting somewhere... ''first light'' with a #PicoScope from the 5000D-series running in #ngscopeclient 💪! Still a lot of stuff to check and implement, but I'll get that done eventually.
@azonenberg

Modified #ngscopeclient to support colors per stream. Now I can plot my embedded thread utilization data and explore it blazingly fast.

@azonenberg has anyone tried to add 1990s #Tektronix scope (e.g. TDS744) support to #ngscopeclient ?

I just got one and am wondering if there is no support due to limitations of the scopes or just because nobody botheted to add support yet.

I don't know if this is useful for anyone else, but I just built ngscopeclient for Windows, and thought I'd share the packages. (It was a lot less painful than last time I tried, even if the VM kept running out of RAM! 😀)

#ngscopeclient #windows

I'm in the market for a small, reasonably priced and reasonably powerful #oscilloscope for home use. #ngscopeclient support would be a definite plus but not a hard requirement. Being able to run from USB-C and/or built-in battery is a requirement.

It seems the Miniware DS213 is still the state of the art here, but it seems to run via micro-USB which is just annoying. Any others I should consider?
