Electronics Design- Noah, Elle¶
The group work for this week was to observe the operation of a microcontroller
Work Distribution¶
- Noah: Arduino Setup, Multimeter, Oscilloscope
- Elle: Waveforms setup, Logic Analyzer
Multimeter¶
Oscilloscope¶
Logic Analyzer¶
What is it?¶
An analog analyzer is a device that measures and analyzes continuous (analog) signals, such as sound, voltage, or radio waves, to assess their properties like frequency, amplitude, and distortion.
How to set up¶
To set up the analog analizer, we used a siple circuit would use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pins in order to pulse an LED. Once that was creted we down loaded the WaveForms.Once this was downloaded we orked with Andrew Puky to figure it out. While trying to figure it out we need to try many different things.
Our first problem was for some reason some softwares don’t work on Noah’s computer, therefore we had to switch to mine. We noticed it wasn’t working with Noah’s when we tried to plug in the analog discovery it said there was no board found and only and demo one came up. After we switched over to my computer that worked perfectly.
Once the board was connected, we used “Scope”. Scope is a way to get what the oscilloscope looked like but online through the discovery2 (that is the device we were using name).
After that it took me to a page that looked like the imgae below. This is where you can control the display. The first part was understanding the side panel. When wiring the Discovery2, we used +1 and -1 wires which were the very first ones. As you can see the first channel is already set to +-1 which means that it would be reading through the wores we chose. If we had a 2nd circuit we would used a second channel but for us we didn’t need that so we just unselected that. Then the next step was the time (the box above channel one). This controlled the speed of the scope. The less time the closer to hours, the closer together the sections are. You want to set the time to a good number where you can tel and read what is happening. THen after that, the next step was to click start and watch it.
