Just thought I would share with the forum a nice little programme for displaying voltage over time signals using the PC's line-in jack. I know there are many of these around and alot of you guys have done all this before on 'real' scopes (so have I) but others might like to try this to see on screen what the PICAXE actually communicates in -bits, 1's and 0's. To figure out then finally get to clearly display for example just a single character that you transmit using sertxd on the screen was quite an achievement for me, a moonwalk moment (not Neil Armstrong but the Michael Jackson type-although it was actually one giant leap for me)!
The programme is called Zelscope and has a 14 day free trial (fully functional) and is available at www.zelscope.com - it costs US$20 if you decide to register. Nowhere as good as the real thing but for those who can't afford a scope yet it will get them used to using one.
Cheers,
Grant
