Final Year Project

Hello Everyone,
I will be using this to update on my fyp progress...hopefully, it will be interesting for my readers.
 It is also a way to update my supervisors(especially overseas supervisor) and for myself to check on my progress and maybe a page for me to reference so that I can write my final report. My graduate engineering friends are welcome to comment.

So, my final year project is on designing a USB oscilloscope. It is a hardware and software project. The hardware is to build a circuit with micro-controller to convert the analog signals to digital. As for the software part, I will be using Visual Basic Express with WINUSB API. Sound simple, right??

Okay, I will talk more on details of my micro-controller, I have decided to use Microchip micro-controller as it is cheap and easy to buy in the market (Farnell). It has built-in support analog to digital (with free C compiler to convert the C codes into the assembly code), C library function to call to initialize the A/D, convert, check status of conversion. Wow, nice, right? I am adverting for Microchip, man.. They need to give me free chips.. :)  .. Ok, from the list of micro-controller, I decided to use Microchip pic18lf13k50 as my main microcontroller as it is the *cheapest* of all... (thinking that I will not go wrong)..... BUT, I AM WRONG!!!!!! I tell more in my next post... :(
