This code is the latest as of 19-06-2013. It is an AudioScope designed around a Macbook Pro 13" of which only has ONE microphone input. It works under Linux variants too. Read the code for much more info.

It was my way of learning Bash scripting.

It is resident here at this site:-

http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/212939-start-simple-audio-scope-shell-script.html

It started off as a fun idea and is now becoming a very serious project.

As it stands this is fully working but it is uncalibrated and this is where it will stay on this site.

As the above site is the host then all future uploads will be there...

To do list...

DC input. [1] DC polarity. [1] 2 more Internal sync modes. External triggering. Zoom facility - if possible in text mode. Vertical calibration. [2] Frequency measurement. {3] (Others.)

[1] I have simple HW built as an idea but yet to prove it... [2] Preliminary HW built but not yet used. Calibration SW and circuit(s) to be built into script as it progresses. [3] I already have a working script but not completely satisfied at it at this point...

I am noing to say much else except that it has already been given a 5 star rating on the above UNIX site...

As it stands this code is entirely Public Domian and you may do with it as you please...

Enjoy something completely different using Bash scripting...

Finally the code defaults to a DEMO mode which requires no HW access at all but everything is still functional...

__Thoroughly__ read the code for more information...

As a circuit is inside the script then it is best viewed in plan text mode.

# Tested in SOX mode on this Macbook Pro 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5 with the SOX sinewave generator enabled.
# Tested in /dev/dsp mode on an aging HP notebook running Debian 6.0.x with the /dev/dsp sinewave generator enabled.
# Tested in /dev/dsp mode on an Acer Aspire One netbook booting from a USB stick running PCLinuxOS 2009; also with

# Tested on all three in DEMO mode.

This might seem like a full edition but there is so much yet to be added that I have relaesed this one and only version here as a learning tool.

Any further relaeses will be metioned occasionally in the comments section...

Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...

Finally EVERYTHING that is required for this project will always be inside the single script...

Upon reading the script you will see what I mean...
