X-Y-Oscilloscope-Tracer, for Cat lovers!!
« on: March 27, 2020, 11:15:15 am »
We've all played with a Scopes XY tracer settings for testing components.
This guy takes it to a new level, when outputting signals from his pc/laptop
using an array of specialized software.  (Will see where the 'cat' comes in!)  8)
Maybe this can be repurposed for something practical ??....
Diagonal of 1x1 square = Root-2. Ok.
Diagonal of 1x1x1 cube = Root-3 !!!  Beautiful !!

Not to rain on your parade  ;D, but using XY mode of scopes to display all kinds of stuff is nothing new really. There are many fun demos out there, and the obligatory clock. Like this: http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/scopeclock/oscilloscope_clock.shtml

Regarding how to proceed, it's a lot like the old vector displays worked too.

The most advanced thing people have done with vector mode is oscilloscope music, and that's been out for years now.

BTW The 'clock' is amazing!  :D
