The current design solution uses an 8-bit ADC chip ADC08100 and a 100M bandwidth front-end analog circuit. In fact, if you want to play, you can improve the indicators and use AD9288 or the domestic alternative MXT2088. One chip has two channels and achieves a 250M sampling rate through rapid alternating sampling.
Cell phones typically send and receive signals in the frequency range 0.9 to 3GHz. This article provides a simple circuit that detects the presence of an activated mobile phone by detecting these signals.
The basic principle of the mobile phone detector circuit is to detect radio frequency signals. In Schottky diode circuits, Schottky semiconductors are used to detect mobile phone signals because of their unique properties of being able to correct low-frequency signals with low noise rates. When an inductor is placed near an RF signal source, it receives the signal through mutual inductance. This signal is rectified by a Schottky diode. This low-power signal can be amplified and used to power any indicator light, such as an LED in this case.

Using Raspberry Pi pico (rp2040) as logic analyzer and oscilloscope with sigrok
The portable soldering iron launched by PINE64 in the early days was based on the GD32 design. This time it was upgraded to the second generation product, which was changed to the domestically produced BL706. Its feature is that it supports low-power Bluetooth. The Bluetooth OTA upgrade function will be added to IronOS later. IronOS supports a variety of portable DC, QC, and PD powered soldering irons, and supports all standard functions of smart soldering irons.
The hardware is independently completed by the Raspberry Pi microcontroller RP2040, which costs 5 yuan a piece. Just close a trigger design baseboard designed by KiCAD. The software is created using VSCode + GCC + Cmake. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to use it. The firmware is upgraded using the U disk drag-and-drop method that comes with the Raspberry Pi chip.
This awesome project comes from the nV-level measurement instrument challenge launched by xDevs. The project requirements are relatively difficult and only one author has completed it. The author has open sourced all project materials and provided detailed explanations (in English).
ERASynth Micro is an open source signal generator with impressive features. Affordable for everyone including builders, hackers, students, amateur radio and SDR users. The ERASynth Micro is powered via the USB port and has an LCD interface for stand-alone use without the need for a computer or phone.

The EEZ Bench Box 3 (BB3) represents a new class of modular test and measurement (T&M) equipment. It provides a complete open source hardware and software framework that bridges the gap between DIY hobbyist tools and professional desktop equipment and combines their best features. Inspired by the EEZ H24005 power supply, BB3 has attracted many enthusiasts with its extensive feature set, rich user interface, DIY friendliness and completely open source design. BB3 will initially feature modules that provide the same functionality as the H24005, but these modules will plug into a single device, providing improved modularity, greater capacity, more processing power, an easier-to-use interface and enhanced flexibility, all These are available in compact form factors.
ChipWhisperer-Husky is a compact package for experimental side-channel power analysis and fault injection. It follows in the footsteps of our ChipWhisperer-Lite and ChipWhisperer-Pro products and adds new features such as a high-speed logic analyzer for visualizing faults, real-time data streaming for attacking asymmetric algorithms, and additional I/O Extension pins.
ThunderScope is the first oscilloscope designed specifically for Thunderbolt, allowing live sample data to be streamed to your computer at over 1 GB/s. This design eliminates all limitations of traditional oscilloscopes by leveraging the powerful processing capabilities of modern devices. Measurements are made fast and easy, with cramped UIs replaced by multi-window layouts and support for modern accessibility features. Sample memory was increased from megabytes to gigabytes, and the fixed list of protocols and trigger types was replaced by an ever-expanding repo. ThunderScope is also open source, so you have complete control over your data from the moment you sample it. You can easily add your own custom features and benefit from new features built by the community.
PlainDAQ is a simple, useful tool that adds basic precision analog functionality to your Raspberry Pi Pico board. It features a precision, low noise, low drift 12-bit 500k sps/s ADC. To match the ADC and maintain its noise and accuracy, all analog inputs are buffered and the ADC is driven by a high speed/low noise fully differential amplifier. It also has a 10-bit DAC that helps create analog outputs and waveforms.
