i just hit me when i was on my computer, on windows xp there is that sound recoder program that shows what the sound would look like virtualy.
if you make a simple circuit that scales any voltage down to 5v and plug it into the mic input of your computer you hav a occilascope that will only cost £10 at the most (unless of course you blow up your computer)
would it work or is this so stupid it mite as well go in the bin?
danielsmusic said:wow i should of looked first, it will probly be good if you want to see what waveform a siganal is as long as the freq is not too high.
danielsmusic said:i will probobly use it, i will never generate 20Mhz anyway.

Is building a kit oscilloscope feasibe? :shock: I mean, would I get something useful for less money than an off-the-shelves entry-level model? You got me intrigued!
I had assumed this to be either impractical or too expensive to be worth the trouble... I'm gonna do the required Googling on this but in the meantime, any pointers?
