Jon Stanley writes in to share his latest project, the entirely analog Round Pong. Built to be played in a vintage Heathkit oscilloscope with a circular screen, he developed some tricky circuitry to generate the classic game using a circle generator.

The last time we covered the Seeed DSO Nano oscilloscope, they hadn’t produced any specification or hardware yet. Now, one month later, they have already shipped a limited number of beta units out for testing.
[The Tektronics 466 shown here] On the Reddit forums, there’s an interesting discussion going on about buying oscilloscopes: If you need to track the position of edges down into the nanoseconds you might appreciate watching Ebay for the Tektronics 2465. Broken ones sell for a couple hundred bucks, and if you decide to fix one […]
In response to my posting of the DIY hobby o-scope item, Ken_S sent a link to his “Minimalist Oscilloscope 08M Project,” which uses a PICAXE 08M chip and a Nokia cellphone screen to create a… well… minimal oscilloscope. Given that he got the phone for a buck, he was able to build the scope for […]
This Instructables details the construction of a PICAXE-based digital oscilloscope designed to meet most hobbyist’s needs and which can be built for under $100 (the author spent about $70 on his). Cost varies depending on what you might have on hand. LCS-1M – A Full-Featured, Low-Cost Hobby Oscilloscope
No substitute for a professional oscilloscope by far – but still could be a fun project to have a go at – probably the best advantage is its very small size and the fact that it can run off the power supply of the circuit being tested. Although it has a low frequency range, it […]
