Please make one for MAC too! Thanks!!!

Just tried and the application opens (win xp), but does not do anything (just as you said). Do you know when this will be working? When it does, please email us. Thank you for a wonderful little oscilloscope!

That link above is for net framework 2.0; the program reports it needs .NET 4.something. Here is the correct link:

Works on my XP after getting over some initial strangeness probably due to changing too many controls too fast. Updates surprising fast, 1 per second for dual channel display. I connected through my own level shifters to serial COM1, don't have a UART USB cable.

MAC OS?

Doesn't seem to work under Wine. Is there a Linux version available ? Java ?

Hello, I have windows vista and I don't know how install the USB driver. Please, can someone help me ?

Hi Gabo. Nice job with the new devices (thank you, I did get the ones updated). Trying to install the usb driver while on Win7 I get "invalid parameter". Any idea?

Hello! My lab recently ordered your XMEGA Xprotolab -- the version. We are very excited to use it.

I am having trouble connecting it to my computer. I downloaded the latest Windows Net 4 program. The PC user interface works as well. However, when I use a microusb to connect the protolab to the computer and press "connect" on the PC user interface, it doesn't seem to connect and gives "error" in the firmware box below. Do you have any suggestions? I really want this to work because of how good of a device this is!

HI Gabo,

Amazing unit ! could you please let us know when the next version of pc software is going to be availible? really got a big project and need the logic analizer to interface with my PC

Can I use the application to show the I2C display? Can I download the data?

I am currently working on the PC application and there will be an update in about a month.

You might consider offering the cable to connect from the XprotoLab portable to a phone or tablet, like this USB OTG CABLE - FEMALE A TO MICRO A (some tablets might use mini instead)

Hi Ganzziani

Any news on on the pc interface software update?

Best Regards

Jody

Hi Jody. I'm halfway there. The code is available here: https://github.com/ganzziani/xscopes-qt You can compile it with QT. I should be distributing executables in a few weeks.

Hi ganzziani

Could you give us an update on the PC Software update?

Best Regards

Jody

Here it is. Rev 1.0.0.1. Linux and Mac binaries to be created soon.

Hi, having a little trouble thought I would share:
Updated xmega xprotolab to v2.25 firmware via usb AVR flip program. Installed (i think correctly via zadig software) the usb driver to connect via microusb to win7 64 machine. Xprotolab shows in device manager under universal serial bus devices as XScope, it does not seem to have an associated COM port listed in properties.
Load the compiled .net interface, clicked options tab and couldn't connect as no com port associated with XScope. I suspect I haven't installed the correct driver. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Ed

The .NET interface is old. Did you try the QT interface? Downloads are at the top of this page.

Amazing, thankyou very much, everything working. I will spread the good word, great product. :)

Hello, Are the MAC binaries available please?
I cannot find a download link on this page.

The binary does not seem to work on Ubuntu Linux; please find a Linux expert and fill in the gaps; this could be an amazingly popular product at your prices; but without functioning code it is useless for Linux people. Even better, make it work with the Raspberry Pi and you will sell a million of them!

I am having trouble installing the interface on Ubuntu12.04.4LTS. The Debian installer insists that I have a broken dependency with usblib "usblib-1.0-0 (>=2:1.0.12-2)." I have updated usblib using Synaptic and have also built it from the usblib site, but still no joy. I don't know how to check the installed version - but it should be ok. Any ideas? TIA. Neil

You should uninstall all usblib related packages using synaptic and then try reinstalling the xscope. Xscope deb package will automatically then download and install the correct packages.

The behaviour is as I described in quotes - except that I had typed "usblib" instead of "libusb". In other words (my interpretation) the deb package installer thinks I have an outdated version of the libusb library. I am reluctant to just remove the existing libusb 1.0 because -lots- of other things depend on it - they would be removed as well.

If you don't want to upgrade your libusb you can simply extract the xscope debian package and run the binary in the bin directory of extracted folder. Make sure you run usbfix.sh bash script to fix usb permissions to allow running the binary without root.

Has anyone managed to get a MAC version of the interface software up and running yet. I'd be eternally grateful if someone could upload a binary.
Cheers

I got Xscopes working on my Macs. A standalone app is here: http://s3.sdfeu.org/xscope.app.zip . It's working for me on Mavericks and Mountain Lion; I did by best to include all the necessary libraries into the app, but I may have missed something, so let me know if the app doesn't work.

If anyone wants to compile it themselves, here's what I did:
1) get homebrew http://brew.sh/ and Apple's developer tools (homebrew should give you instructions if you don't have them)
2) install qt and libusb: brew install qt libusb
3) get xscopes' sources: git clone https://github.com/ganzziani/xscopes-qt.git
4) change into the cloned dir: cd xscopes-qt
5) fix linking info: edit 'XprotolabInterface.pro', find the line which looks like "unix:!macx:!symbian: LIBS += -lusb-1.0" (near the end) and delete ":!macx", so that it looks like "unix:!symbian: LIBS += -lusb-1.0"
6) compile: qmake && make
7) now you should have a newly created 'xscope.app' in your directory. Note that it links to brew's qt and libusb, so it will only work on your computer. To make it really 'standalone', there's more fiddling required to get the libraries into the app itself.

Cheers!

Hi ganzziani

I have successfully been using my Xminilab with your interface on a laptop running Windows 8.1 - it really works extremely well, thanks! However, I am now trying to install the interface on a second laptop running Windows 7. I have used the Zadig tool to install the driver and this appears to work but it shows up in Device Manager as "Xscope" under USB devices. The problem is that the interface is looking to connect to a COM port which is different. I did not have this problem on my other machine and I am now at a loss as to how to proceed. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Apologies

Just realised the query above should have been posted on the appropriate forum. I will repost there.

Hello,
the same issue as mrh on W7 64bit, shows Xscope under device manager and no additional COM port.

Hi Ganzziani,
I put Xmega/Xprotolab in a box, soldering standard switches to the micros on the PCB, making some circuital extensions and, at the end, it all works on the mini Oled. I wasºtrying to connect to the windows application. Firmware is 2.25, app is the last Qt one, I tried with all drivers you put on your site and with the last version of Zadig. The tests were made on a seven 64 bit and on a XP 32 bit computer... always the same result: unknown device. And obviously Qt app remains waiting for a com port in the option tab without being able to connect. Is it possible that I exchanged data wires on the usb connection? Indeed I soldered also this one to make possible the boxing and, as long as I know, data wires are not ordered wires. Are they? Am I wrong? I need the scope to work on I2C buses and also as a sniffer but using the Oled it's impossible. May you help me? Could it be a problem of wire??

Thx in advance for your patient and I excuse myself if these question had to be posted in the forum area... sincerely I don't know.

Hola que bueno el upgrade de la nueva interface para windows, encontre un pequeño error, en los cursores verticales, para un AT=18.75 seg el 1/AT=53.33 hz, esto esta equivocado!, debe dar 5,333 hz, es una pequeña correccion en el programa.
Gracias por todo!

I am having nothing but trouble with the interface running under XP, tried different computer but is the same. Will act ok sometimes for a while then if you change a tab and come back the display is missing or off the top or switched to another channel. The markers are gone or misplaced. Anyway to clear it you have to shut the interface down and restart and it will be back where it should be. So the board did not change?? Any Ideas would be appreciated. I want this to work for me, I have never had it run long enough to sniff with it.
