Introduction
I recently purchased the Digilent Analog Discovery and this is my first post on the tools that are available. I wrote this as a set of blog posts, but I have now replaced this with a full video on my YouTube channel
In this video I investigate the use of the Digilent Analog Discovery with Waveforms and look how it can be used for the analysis of analog and digital circuits. The Analog Discovery is a USB oscilloscope, waveform generator, digital pattern generator and logic analyzer. It is priced at $99 for US students and generally for $219. l demonstrate three different applications of the Discovery:
– Analog analysis of a rectifier diode.
– Using the digital pattern generator and logic analyzer to investigate the behavior of a JK flip-flop.
– Using the logic analyzer and its I2C interpreter to connect to the BeagleBone I2C bus and analyse how it behaves when we use the Linux i2c tools.
I got a lot out of your demonstration of the Analog Discovery, but, due to my own incompetence, I was unable to replicate your demo on the Analog Discovery 2. The user interface is very different. If you could do a Youtube of a similar nature for the Analog Discovery 2, we weaker students would certainly be thankful.
Hi Derek, your web is very helpful, thank you very much. I’m testing the BeagleBone Black ADC and I have an offset at the readings of 0.05 V min and 0.1 V max. Any voltage below 0.05 V is displayed as 0 V when reading the ADC pin (I used several pins), and any voltage above 1.7 V is shown as 1.8 V. Could the ADC of my BBB is damaged ?. In the rest of readings I always have a positive offset of 0.05 V.
Excuse my English, I’m Spanish.
Can an anlog discovery convert analog signal into its equivalent digital signal?
