The (newest, raster style) OSC7.8 Oscilloscope clock kit |
|||
|
The OSC7.8 kit is a professionally made pc board and the components to populate it, including the ICs and the preprogrammed ESP32 module written with my firmware and the toroidal transformer. I supply the instructions for assembly and a parts list (in digital format) with the board and components. Email me at: howchon@hotmail.com. Click the links below to open the files individually. Price = $130 + shipping for the kit & components. I have some crts available at varying prices according to scarcity. Some CRT types that I have used with this board are: DG7-6, 2AP1, 2BP1, 6Lo1i, 3RP1 and 3BP1. |

| An
unsolicited testimonial: "Howard, Wanted to send you a few pictures of the evolving project. Reduced Rfilament to 1ohm to realize a ~6.2VAC heater voltage. Focus and intensity of the CRT looks good. Energized the native oscilloscope circuit to illuminate the 'scope display grid. Very happy with how this is coming together. I wanted to thank you for all your effort and great execution on this. Very impressive that you single handedly integrated high voltage electronics, consumer-grade AC power conversion circuits, analog amp design, data converters, PIC programming, user experience design using a 3 button interface, submicron GPS chipset programming and system integration all at the same time. Not to mention being available to answer questions during the build! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with your future goals, projects, and endeavors. Brian" Brian's build can be seen here. |

Scope Clocks built using the original OSC4.4 vector kit ! |
|||
 |
 |
||
| The clock above was built using the kit. The custom case and mount were made by the builder. | This is another clock built using the kit board. The builder used a 3" crt and custom built the mounting block. | ||
 |
 |
||
| This is another kit built using a 6Lo1i with battery backup. | A very unique design from Bad Dog Designs built using the kit and an ECG monitor. | ||
 |
 |
||
