    Hi Irv,
    That's a difficult one... The firmware currently uses all 8 of the Propeller's 8 cogs. Are people interested in a separate firmware that would disable the function generator but output a fixed tv signal?

    If the firmware was easy to load and then restore, then it would be no problem for me....Irv

    What sort of signal would you like to see? Here are possibilities:
    - just an ntsc signal to look at- ie, a black screen
    - screen which continually updates measurements of ch1 and ch2 at a given setting- plug PropScope into TV for display
    - screen which has some control from the windows ui- ie, setting background color
    - color bars

    Any headway on the video interface? That connector is just pleading to have something connected to it smile.gif

    A simple video signal is coming in v1.05- and yes, making good progress on it, Parallax has started testing builds. A little while longer...

    Hi,
    Is the software done to use the propscope and plug it on a TV instead of the computer?
    If so, do you have some pictures?

    Thanks,
    Fred

    Hi Fred,
    Yes you can connect a TV to the PropScope- it'll show you a realtime bar graph of the analog measurement as well as actual values.
