Share My Creation PC Oscilloscope

Low frequency oscilloscope for PC using Arduino Uno or Nano. The input is to pin A0 of the Arduino which connected to PC via USB .Bandwidth up to 5KHz. The sampling is done by the Arduino ADC in a speed of about 36K sampling per sec. The Arduino software is mostly in C code in purpose to speed up the ADC on expense of conversion accuracy. The Arduino takes 62 samples of input to create one trace. For lower frequencies a delay for each sample gives slower sweep. Input is DC or AC not acceding 5V.
The Analogue Comparator of the Arduino (pins 6, 7) is used to detect zero crossing of input signal, it triggers start of sampling the trace when signal is rising.
