Group assignment:
Our fablab is equipped with an “EM125 HANDHELD DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPE” digital oscilloscope. This week it will enable us to observe the various operations of a microcontroller on a printed circuit board. In addition to this oscilloscope, we’ll also be using a multimeter.
Here’s an overview of the device we’ll be using.
Multimeter
With the multimeter, we can test components such as capacitors, LEDs, linear regulators, buttons and continuity between PCB pins or tracks.
Digital oscilloscope
With our digital oscilloscope, we can visualize both analog and digital signals. It also features a multimeter function. We’ve decided to visualize analog signals. To do this, we used a temperature sensor which we supplied with a 5V voltage using our small voltage generator. We then observed an analog signal at the output.
