Oscilloscope clock

Make your X-Y capable analog oscilloscope more useful ! Dutchtronix AVR Oscilloscope Clock. This design has been replaced by Hardware Version 3. A full kit is available for those interested in making this project. This helps to reduce the burn-in that otherwise will inevitably occur on crts displaying the same image for too long.

Many of the parts are recycled from used electronics, which makes them kind of green.

The SparkFun O- Clock can convert your X-Y analog oscilloscope into an analog clock or terminal.

I cannot place sufficient emphasis on the fact that without this inspiration and the schematics placed in the public domain by David (as licenced), that my own clock would never, ever have got off the ground. What makes this type of clock special is how the image is created. Cathode corner presents the Scope Clock. The numerals are formed from circles, arcs and lines. Howard Constantine is raising funds for The Oscilloscope Clock on Kickstarter!


Abstract: Jan de Rie from dutchtronix. It displays an analog clock on any X-Y capable analog oscilloscope. Scope - clock -Analog-Clock-And- Temperature.


The clock, which connects to any analog oscillope (in X-Y mode) using regular 10x probes, produces the clock face and curent time display as shown above. A Menu Mode and an RS2interface . Designed for large CRTs, it will drive more CRTs than the first. Nearly 2 funded at nine days to go, The Oscilloscope clock is great conversation piece. He uses the CRT display as the clock display in either digital or analog format. It makes sense if you think about it.


First it was the Weston voltmeter clock , and then Nixie a single-digit Nixie clock. Demonstrating some of the capabilities of the OSC4. Every workshop needs one of these! Circuit design and software from Frank Techniek, further details here. Now even better with hardware version 3. THE PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.


No longer available at Sparkfun Electronics.
