Beschreibung

Stop buying expensive, black-box test equipment. Build your own modular lab instruments from scratch using the $6 Raspberry Pi Pico. In this hands-on guide, you will learn how to design, solder, and program a complete suite of test gear. Rejecting high-level abstractions, this book dives straight into bare-metal C, multicore processing, and custom PIO assembly to squeeze every drop of performance out of the silicon. You will build:. The Motherboard:. A central chassis that manages an I2C LCD and a custom rotary encoder UI, cleanly dispatching events across processor cores. The IC Tester:. A dual-Pico architecture utilizing a custom Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to test and auto-detect 40-pin retro logic chips. The Frequency Generator & Counter:. High-speed waveforms and measurement tools pushed to their 8-nanosecond limits using hand-rolled PIO assembly loops. The Arbitrary Function Generator:. A purely hardware-based programmable truth table using shift registers, look-up tables, and diode logic. Whether you are preserving vintage computers, reverse-engineering old hardware, or you simply refuse to buy what you can learn more from building yourself, this book gives you the schematics, the source code, and the low-level theory to take absolute control of your workbench.
