Detailed Description

A simple HID (Human Interface Device) scope

There seem to be some issues with newest MBED revisions. Please select revision 119 for the time being.

Example: 

 #include "mbed.h"
 #include "HIDScope.h"        // Require the HIDScope library

 HIDScope    scope(2);        // Instantize a 2-channel HIDScope object
 Ticker      scopeTimer;      // Instantize the timer for sending data to the PC 
 
 AnalogIn    a0(A0);          // Using an analog input to obtain data 
 
 int main()
 {
   
   // Attach the HIDScope::send function to the timer at a 10.000 us interval (100 Hz)
   scopeTimer.attach_us(&scope, &HIDScope::send, 1e4);
   
   // Read from the analog input in an endless loop. Two channels are written each iteration. 
   // Note that the control loop can run at a different frequency (1 kHz in this case)
   while(1){
       scope.set(0, a0.read());
       scope.set(1, a0.read());
       wait_us(1000);
   };    
   
 }
