Hi, I'm the designer of this scope. I doubt any of these other programs will work unless specifically developed for it, since my scope uses a fully proprietary interface protocol (i.e. does not adhere to any existing standard). Apart from a different physical form factor, the PCB scope is...

Sounds like you are loading a setup file? Could this be corrupted? Actually this is the very first time I hear about such an issue in the ~10 years this scope is out in the public. Trying on a different computer is definitely worth a shot. Not that I moved my website a while ago, so the...

Hello, for a detailed desciption regarding above offset adjustment, I recommend the DPScope SE assembly guide, pages 26 to 28: http://dpscope.freevar.com/files/DPScope_SE_Assembly_Guide_V1_03.pdf Regards, Wolfgang

I put all versions of the Picaxe firmware, PC Software and a zipped-up version of the full Picaxe scope webpage online, for free download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gIEbcGFRD2nI6nJGLEgtqoTUlS7uqdTn?usp=sharing The webpage contains all the documentation, overview and so on. Note...

According to erco, seems like there is a version of the KIT120 software to be found in the Editor Samples folder.

Currently the Picaxe scope pages are nowhere on the internet. A while ago I moved my DPScope site to a new (free) hosting service, which required some amount of manual tweaking (Yahoo web design tool tries to make it unusable unless you directly upload to their - paid - hosting). Haven't got...

Ok I now found the other post you are referring to. First, DPScope SE/PCB Scope is not the same as the old Picaxe-based oscilloscope which Dietmar apparently owns, and the software of these two models is different (meaning, the SE software is of no help to him). Second, all my scope software for...

Hello, checking in after quite a while... The Picaxe scope (KIT120) software is Windows based, written in Visual Basic. There might(!) be a possibility to get it to run under Mac OS using some sort of Windows emulator, but I am not really familiar with Mac OS. Regards, Wolfgang

Hi, which scope are you referring to? The (very old and large ) Picaxe-based oscilloscope, or the small OSC001 PCB scope? For the latter, software etc. is available for download from my website (as mentioned, DPScope SE and the PCB scope are identical circuits and use the same software)...

Yes most likely cause for a USB cable not working with the scope is that the cable is just for power (charging), i.e. it lacks the data lines for communication. Frequent giveaway is that the cable diameter is very small.

I might make the software publicly available if it makes sense. So far it still seems to work perfectly fine on all Windows versions, of course apart from its somewhat "classic" look and feel, thus at the moment no plans for any update or conversion which would be quite some work. That said...

Make sure you install the correct software, i.e. the one for the DPScope SE, not the one for the "normal" DPScope. There is only a single version for your scope, found here: http://dpscope.freevar.com/downloads_se.html The headers should both have the same number of pins and fill all available...

j1 and j2 doesn't make a difference. The turned header pins have a smaller diameter and will fit better into the breadboard so this is the one to be mounted pointing downwards. The square pins are too large and would damage the breadboard over time but they fit standard jumper cables (coming in...

Yes due to several different reasons it does not look like I will be able to offer the scopes and kits now or in the future. (also my visits to this discussion board have become rather rare, even though I really enjoy the positive and helpful atmosphere here!). Of course I will still support all...

Hello, here is the creator of the PCB Scope / DPScope SE speaking (there is no difference in functionality or performance between these two, they also use exactly the same software. The PCB Scope is simply a bare-bones version, by using surface mount components and omitting "real" probe...

That may be more a limit of the signal source you used than the scope. The scope has about 300 kHz analog bandwidth so at 38 kHz frequency should display a pretty nice square wave (since the bandwidth is sufficient to pass 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonic). Just tried with a Rigol function generator as...

Stress relief Below are two pictures of the proposed stress relief. Works fine, costs close to nothing and is takes about two minutes to install (this includes the time spent looking for the cable ties :=)

I just noticed in the change log for the Programming Editor that there is a new command, "ultra", available for the M2 and X2 parts. Works with the ultrasonic distance sensor. After some tries I got it to compile (ultra c.0, w0 on a Picaxe 20X2); haven't got the hardware at hand to really try it...

Questions about I2C communications have come up frequently in the past - often regarding the choice of pullup resistors (2.2k? 4.7k?), maximum data rate for a certain bus length etc, so I thought this article should be helpful to many of you...

I just started introducing my 7 year old son into Picaxe programming on the Microbot. For this I am using the Logicator. We have LEDs blinking and Happy Birthday playing (just copied the examples in the Microbot manual) so the first hurdle is behind us and my son is very excited. However a few...
