    Default Poor Man's Oscilloscope

    Years ago, Epe Online www.epemag.com published a project "Micro picscope" a simple visual signal monitor.
    It shows a representation of the signal waveform using an alfanumeric 16*2 lcd display.
    Here a PBP version with PIC16F690

    Obviously the performance are very limited; i consider this project a toy.
    A graphic area of 8*40 pixels is inadequate to show anything with an acceptable accuracy.
    The bandwidth is limited to 4-5KHz
    The frequency counter is limited to 6 digit, the precision depends by the internal oscillator frequency.
    Despite that, i like it.
    Have fun!

    Regards
    Gianni
