We love our little Rigol 1052E oscilloscope. It’s seen us through some perplexing problems and loved being upgraded from 50 MHz to 100 MHz. We’ve always been pleased with its role dictating waveforms for us, but we never thought we’d seehomebrew apps (http://rigol.codenaschen.de/index.php/Main_Page) for our little ‘scope.
We’re not exactly sure who [Krater] is, but he’s been working on some
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXvhq6YqQK0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL for the Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope. Right now the capabilities are somewhat limited; all programming is via PEEKs and POKEs. Still, this is a fairly impressive development.
This wonderful little ‘scope has already had some time in the limelight by being easy to upgrade (http://hackaday.com/2010/03/31/update-50mhz-to-100mhz-scope-conversion/) to 100 MHz. Hopefully with the new capabilities (Tetris, somebody make Tetris), this scope will become a staple in workshops around the world.
A tip ‘o the hat goes to [Rainer Wetzel] for sending this one in. Check out the video after the break to see an almost-working game of Pong playing on the 1052E
