You ended up choosing the same oscilloscope I bought recently. I've used many digital scopes, but there's just something so cool about these. I'm very happy with my purchase!
I currently own a Tektronix 2445 which was extensively used for teaching in a lab, so it kinda blew up when i first turned it on after a long time of not beeing used. But the problem was just a broken cheapo capacitor and a cracked 68 ohm resistor. Just switched them out and everything is back, up working again. Im looking for an upgrade though, because there are some other parts in there, which i cant really replace right now, that are also possibly going to blow up.
haha, very artistic take on this! ambitious. loved the end, i kind of want to see a remix of the remix lol or rather the remix without eq nor filter nor noise
Modern DSOs with variable intensity can also do XY reasonably well. Quite a few demos of your music on the (relatively) inexpensive Rigol DS1054Z; Rigol did a good job optimizing their XY plotter for real-time display. Even the best digital scopes still can't hold a candle to a humble 20MHz CRO or vectorscope though; ain't no DSO rock it like CRO. Incidentally, ffmpeg has a vectorscope filter. I haven't tried it with your music yet, but from what I've seen of it with ordinary music compared to demos of vintage vectorscopes on RUclips, it's worth a shot. EDIT: I've tried it, and it works a treat! The color and fade options need to be tweaked (I went with straight green and no persistence; slower fade settings might better simulate slower phosphors) and the resulting video needs to be rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees; otherwise, no wuckers! Ffplay could probably be used with similar settings as a replacement for an analog vectorscope.
Beside a "real" analog oscilloscope, I may can offer a further method of watching oscilloscope music: The ScopeMusicClock. The SMC is a combination of a ScopeClock and a complete independend Oscilloscope Music Station. How does it work: The SMC System is roughly seperated into four parts. -The vintage CRT and the CRT driver electronics, including the powersupply. -An ESP8266 IoT microcontroller for controlling the pushbuttons, getting NTP time and other housekeeping tasks. -A ScopeClock generator (based on the Dutchtronix AVR oscilloscope clock kit). -And finaly a Raspberry PI Zero with an attached HifiBerry DAC as audio source. As a nice by-product, the ScopeMusicClock is also a WebRadio. The ScopeMusicClock is not ready yet and there are still issues I have to solve, but generally it works. The SMC is capable to drive certain CRTs of up to 13cm (5 inch) in diameter. Watching oscilloscope music on those big CRTs is very nice. The disadvantige is, that those big CRTs are very long and require a very large housing. Therefore SMC is also desinged to drive smaller CRTs of 10cm or 7cm diameter. Respectively the housing are more compact and more suited to be placed in the living area. On my YT channel I released a video, presenting the very first working "prove of concept" prototype. Meanwhile I assembled a fully working prototype in a housing. I will upload a presentation video of this one in the next weeks. If you are interesseted in this project, be invited to visit my channel, subscribe or drop me a line. Benefits of a ScopeMusicClock are: You have an unique and awesome looking Clock. You can listen, watch and show oscilloscope music whenever you like, without building up a messy construction around a second hand oscilloscope. ScopeMusicClock is able to display oscilloscope music in sample rates of up to 192kHz @ 16bit stereo.
Heres a fun idea How a bout instead, you Put a speaker in a bowl But a balloon on the lid of the bowl, Put a peice of glass on the bowl small enough to wiggle Shine a laser on the glass And play the music through the speaker
A simple way to check this stuff out is to get hold of FM8/Logic (Pirateable) and virtual oscilloscope plus for drawing stuff use oscilloscope drawing thingy online, hours of fun :)
Ah, thank you for the reply. One question though: What wires connectors did you use? I understand it's BNC at one end, but what about the other? The most common answer I can find is a composite A/V connection, but I just want to make sure it would work with that.
@@codelocust3297 So what I ended up using (IIRC): - 3.5 mm audio jack to A/V splitter (splits the left and right channel) since I already had one - A/V to BNC connector to plug it into the oscilloscope. Just make sure you get the right type of A/V connector (male or female). Honestly, ended up being pretty simple :p. The trickier part is fiddling with the oscilloscope to find out which side to plug into the X and Y
only thing missing is "unregistered hypercam 2"
I guess I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?
@Alessandro Weston i watch on Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Lorenzo Shawn Definitely, been using flixzone for years myself :D
@Lorenzo Shawn thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !!
@Alessandro Weston glad I could help xD
This was quite creative and humorous while being extremely eye opening.. I had no idea I could get one so cheap..

The best Let Me Google That For You I've seen in a while.
1:24 those chords :)
This is my favorite part of Reconstruct. I love it. Reminds me of Bach.
The music sounds almost like Portal 2 😂

Thanks Jero! You read my mind.
Could also modify an old television if you want a bigger screen, and are good with electronics.

I just found this video. I managed to snag a 20 MHz scope for $20! It was untested but powered on, so I was willing to take that gamble.
A simple way to check this stuff out is to get hold of FM8/Logic (Pirateable) and virtual oscilloscope plus for drawing stuff use oscilloscope drawing thingy online, hours of fun :)
$80.46 shipping for the last one... Totally worth it! :D
I can't wait to see the people complaining about their soundchip on the computer not being good enough
my CRT on oscilloscope died on me i need a oscilloscope to fix my oscilloscope
I fucking love you man!
can someone tell me if it's possible to connect the screen of the oscilloscope to a videoprojector ?
I love you
jokes on you I don't think my Oscilloscope can do even 10Mhz
How do I connect my oscilloscope? I only have the oscilloscope and its power cable. Do I need special wires?
