Confused trigger

This one should have triggered on a negative pulse of 14.0µs length.

This trigger point looks right

This one should have (and has) triggered on a positive pulse of 103µs length.

This one should have triggered on a positive pulse shorter than 16.5µs.

This should be a representation of the number 1110 = 14. The small spikes are caused by interrupt code running. The low periods should have lengths of 2N, 4N, 8N. I'll have to try this again with an external trigger. There is too much jitter to get a stable image.

As expected / feared, memory depth is always too low :-( Every DSO should have at least 1M per channel.

Not so clean edge

The question: is the ringing real? In this case it was caused by sin(x)/x interpolation. I was instantly suspicious as this effect only showed up at one zoom setting.

Serial data at 9600bps

With 104µs the average bit time is pretty much on spec. A nice thing when running with a ceramic resonator. I had to tune the bit-delays to get there. The ATtiny85 unfortunately doesn't have a hardware UART.

The little insert is quite annoying. It simply doesn't want to move out of the way.

Now with a voltage regulator

No more chip frying... assuming I don't reverse the supply voltage ;-) I had to sacrifice some of the axial symmetry. Oh well...

TSOP-ed my kitchen lights

After replacing the 12V victim with another ATtiny85 and switching the IR sensor to the TSOP38238 (cheaper, better range and less directional), my kitchen lights are now under remote control. It only looks ugly from below. While doing things one does in a kitchen you hardly notice any of that.

Seems it was a wise decision to use a socket for this one. Side note: now I know what I forgot. A voltage regulator. And connecting a 5V board to a 12V board will only create one thing: acrid smoke.
