By now, you’re probably familiar with the ZYBO board<\/a>. You’ve seen the ZYBOt<\/a>, a tutorial for using embedded Linux with ZYBO<\/a>, and how to tweet webcam photos with a ZYBO<\/a>. Thanks to one intrepid Instructables user, you can now learn how to make a\u00a0digital\u00a0oscilloscope with a ZYBO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The always useful ZYBO.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ZYBO is the smallest (and most affordable!) member \u00a0of the Zynq family. \u00a0The author of this Instructable mentioned how great it is that the IC, while functioning like a microcontroller, also has FPGA hardware (thereby using the same programmable logic). \u00a0This allows “the user to create custom peripherals for the processing system,” says NielsS2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The oscilloscope is comprised of several features: an analog front end, an\u00a0ADC buffer\/trigger, user input processing, a video driver, and a processing system. \u00a0The ZYBO’s ports, inputs, and components work together to function as a standard 10:1 scope probe with an input voltage range between -10V and +10V. User input is given through the rotary encoder, and the digital oscilloscope uses a VGA monitor display.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The completed digital oscilloscope with the ZYBO.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Future additions to the project include vertical and horizontal offsets and improving the encoders! Check out the Instructable and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n
