Finished the schematic

What’s New

  • Added the functionality of an oscilloscope
    • using the AD9283 ADC clocked at 50 MHz
  • Cancelled the DAC (now only signal generation using the AD9833 for sine, square and triangle)
  • Added the functionality to choose the voltage of the ISP programmer in software (with hardware safety)

Next Steps

  • Double check the schematic
  • Start PCB layout

TRACE Update 1

What’s New

  • Defined architecture: two MCUs
    • RP2350 handles logic analyzer, programmers and function generation
    • ESP32-S3 handles WiFi, web UI and AI agent
  • Selected key components: ADS1115 for voltage measurement,
    AD9833 for function generator, MCP4922 as DAC
  • Started KiCad schematic — analog power section with split ground plane done

Interface

  • WiFi: access from any device (phone, PC) via web UI
  • USB: direct connection to host for PulseView (logic analyzer)
  • AI integration: Claude agent to control the instrument
    • Describe your problem in plain language and Claude automatically
      measures and diagnoses it

Next Steps

  • Complete ESP32-S3 and RP2350 schematics
  • Start PCB layout
