Red Pitaya can be connected to your network either using ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. Red Pitaya works like a web server, where it can be accessed from any Internet connected computer or smart phone by typing the IP address on a web browser. FPGA programmers can apply their skills in enhancing the performance of these devices. The use of advanced FPGA makes both the scope extremely reconfigurable. Red Pitaya uses Xilinx Zynq FPGA whereas SmartScope uses Spartan FPGA from Xilinx. Although most of the oscilloscope related specifications matches with the SmartScope, Red Pitaya offers smart phone like apps which can be downloaded from a cloud for specific application. Though expensive Red Pitaya is more advanced which has taken care of some of the constraints you face with SmartScope. However we seriously suggest you to check further details at the website:
#Smartscope oscilloscope android#
It looks most of the latest android phones doesn't have much of the issue.
And in case of Android you got to check whether your phone supports USB- OTG.
#Smartscope oscilloscope Patch#
SmartScope will only be recognised in case you apply jailbreak patch to your IoS devices (iPhone and iPad). But there are issues while you connect to each one of these. The SmartScope supports multiple operating systems including Linux, IoS, android and Windows. Along with the availability of oscilloscope function, the SmartScope also provides the option to use this device as logic analyser and waveform generator. The SmartScope can be powered using USB cable from the smart phone or through external USB power source. The SmartScope is priced around US$ 200, a little less or more for different packages depending on the external support hardware peripheral you buy. The signal frequency and amplitude of the virtual scope displayed on the mobile phone can be controlled through normal touch interface, so there are no knobs. Good thing about these two products are, they are open source projects.
They are smartscope from Lab-nation and the Red Pitaya. This concept has given birth to two interesting virtual instrumentation products now available in the market. The data acquisition hardware combined with a computing platform can now be developed in small form factor hardware of size less than credit card. This has giving new direction to the development of virtual instrumentation. National Instruments thrived on that model and there are many other small companies offering USB DAQ which are called as USB/PC oscillo-scope.īut now with the most of the electronic design engineers having smart phone, it is just plain common sense of electronics engineer to have an option to use them as test and measurement display if not as platform.
#Smartscope oscilloscope driver#
The availability of affordable PCs with every design engineer was market driver at that time to leverage PC/laptop as test and measurement platform with some less costing external data acquisition hardware and software. When National Instruments developed its virtual instrumentation product, it created a new market and helped many design engineers to explore personal computer as a test and measurement platform. Red Pitaya and SmartScope makes your smartphone or tablet an oscilloscope
