IMPROVEMENTS
Luminary Micro’s LM3S811 microcontroller is a nice device to work with. With its powerful ARM CPU core and rich peripherals, hardware design becomes easier. The Keil RealView is a solid integrated tool to develop and debug the embedded application. After a few months of enjoyable effort, we now have the multifunctional oscilloscope in our pocket. We are ready to probe target devices to find bugs.
But this is not the end of the story. The multifunctional oscilloscope could be easily extended to include more functions, such as adding a function generator using the PWM output. The LM3S811 has room to accommodate such improvements. We encourage you to try building your own handheld device.
