PiScope: Turn your Raspberry Pi into an Oscilloscope/XY Plotter

An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of electronic signals. In effect, the device draws a graph of the instantaneous signal voltage as a function of time. A XY Plotter is an instrument to plot a voltage variable with respect to another voltage variable. This is in contrast to the oscilloscope which plots a voltage variable with respect to time. This python library can turn your Raspberry Pi into an Oscilloscope or XY plotter. Simply, interface an Analog to Digital Converter with your Raspberry Pi and use the library to view the analog signals on your Raspberry Pi. Currently, the library supports Adafruit ADS1015 breakout board.”
