Python Oscilloscope

A simple python oscilloscope, using the Tkinter canvas widget. Code here: http://www.edsplace.me.uk/index.html#oscilloscope2
It's hard-coded for my setup so it may not work out-of-the-box for you.

hey this is cool

but how do i get it to work?

when i play a sound it doesnt do anything

but when i plug a mic in and speak into it it does work

how did u get urs to work? did u put the mic next to the speakers or somthing

[ehjones]

That is actually how I intended it to work - I wanted it to visualise from an external source of sound, using a cable from my living room amplifier into the mic input of the computer.

Thanks for trying it out. It's not a very good program!

Ops, sorry, needed to open "About this Video" to see the url to the code :P

[ehjones]

no problem. I've developed it on Debian Linux and it uses the soundcard input as it's source (/dev/dsp). As I say, it might not work out-of-the-box for you. And the code is pretty cryptic, sorry!

It's totally a good program. I hope I can read it.

@ehjones I looked at the link and it leads to index.

@pithikoulis k,thanks

[pithikoulis]

@flare765 Yes. I think most of python media libraries are written in C

[flare765]

Very nice work.. if this is possible to do in python.. is it also possible to do in C++?

so then why isn't it just one changing sample on the screen?

[SpecklePattern]

@supergenius1994 The same way one does normal oscilloscope. By examining the signal at fast rate.

[supergenius1994]

how do you make an oscillascope in programming?

Great stuff! The wave actually looks like the music sounds.
