MSP 430 based Low Frequency Oscilloscope
A crucial equipment for any electronics enthusiast besides multimeter,soldering iron,etc is an Oscilloscope. Unfortunately these oscilloscopes come at a price which students or hobbyists couldn’t afford. Here, a low frequency oscilloscope is designed using TI’s MSP430G2231 microcontroller. The frequency range it could measure is few Khz but that is sufficient for most circuits […]
