possibly not quite electronics, but posted here as many people will have a scope to try it out on...

My brother sent me the same link a little while ago -- I loved it. Farbrausch should go into electronics! wink

That is very cool. (For those who can't access the video, it's a demo animation made by feeding a programmed output from a computer soundcard into a scope in XY mode. A slick animation, at that.)

I moved this to chatting, by the way.

Incredible! I'm trying this right now.

Edit: It didn't turn out as clear as in the movie, but it was still pretty cool. Check out analog Oscilloscope Pong too.

I think it's probably quite dependent on things like the phosphor type (persistance time) coupled with the scope bandwidth and maybe also the top-end response of the soundcard.
Worked OK on my Tek 2465A, and even passably on my Agilent 6034 digital.

Pong was my first 'scope 'hack' ! (c1976)

An ic came out that was 'pong-on-a-chip', I can't remember the p/n.
Anyway, at work I organised ten of us techies to build kits, I got a price break on ten units.
all the artwork, etching etc. was done in-house.
When we'd completed the project - minus rf modulator, we wanted to test the boards, how?

One 'scope triggered on the vertical frequency feeding it's X-out to Y-in of a second 'scope
the second 'scope was triggered on the horizontal frequency, with the video signal going to Z-mod
VOILA ! pong on a 'scope!

P.S. ALL the boards worked !

That is awesome. I'm going to try it right now.

[edit] Oh wait... I didn't bring my oscope to school. :(
