Video on Oscilloscope (Easy!)

 Video on Oscilloscope (Easy!)


Here is the easiest way to put video on an old analog oscilloscope that has "Z axis" inputs (usually on the back of the scope:


It uses an LM1881 integrated chip and nine other little components to display live video on an oscilloscope screen.

You'll need the following:

(3) 0.1uF caps

(1) 4.7Uf cap

(1) 1000pF cap

(1) 680k resistor

(2) 100k resistors

(1) LM1881 chip

(2) IN4148 diodes

Plus: an oscilloscope with a Z input; a video camera with a composite video out (usually a yellow RCA plug); two thin wires to go to Z input; a DC power supply that can be adjustable to +5vDC (you'll probably need around 3-4vDC); a composite RCA cable to run from camera to circuit; a breadboard or soldering iron; breadboard jumper cables; wires from power supply.

Here's my version on a breadboard. It's only 10 components but I used a lot of jumper cables to keep things simpler for me to see.




Below is a drawing of the end of the RCA cable coming from the video camera (or TV or VCR or DVD player or videogame console, etc.). The pointy tip is the positive signal. When you're all done you could run a ground wire from the ring/barrel negative part of the RCA plug--but I found it made zero difference on or off, so I'd leave it off.



You'll see nothing until you hook up the wires to the Z axis (intensity) of the oscilloscope. The picture was black and green, upside down and mirror-image flipped. I pointed the video camera at a TV set. Here is a Voltoren medicine commercial.






This photo is of a episode of The Three Stooges. It's hard to see in the photo, but it's the episode where Larry dresses in lady's clothing and tries to seduce members of the Nazi Upper Eschelon. Shown is "Admiral Boring" (Goering) giving the Hitler-salute to Reich's-Fuhrer Moe! It was a weird episode.



User caveats:

1. Use XY mode on the oscilloscope. 

2. The black (negative) bands of the diodes should be closer to the LM1881 in the circuit path.

3. Z axis are not reversed, like other versions of this circuit in books. Z Axis + goes to the center pin tip of the RCA plug. Z Axis - goes to the ring/barrel/negative/ground of the RCA plug. When I reversed them I got no picture.

4. The camera (mine was a 1980s JVC) had to be "zoomed in" for this to work. I don't know why! If I zoomed out to wide-angle the circuit stopped working.

5. You only get a small portion of the video that the video camera sees!

6. I set the video camera exposure control to "+" for a brighter image.

7. With 3.6vDC to 4.1vDC I had much less noise in the video than running at 5vDC. Fiddle with the voltage.

8. The oscilloscope probes I used are newer ones that have 1x and 10x. Use the 1x setting, it got a much better signal for this usage. If your probes don't have a switch on them--they're probably 1x anyway.


Some random shots of my self-assembled Elenco kit power supply (from Amazon or eBay). My $5 HP analog oscilloscope from an antiques store/resale shop. The settings on the scope aren't exactly what I ended up using, but they're in the ballpark. As you can see my X and Y are actually A and B on the scope! There's also an unused horizontal input. The "Z axis" is in the back of this scope: so I ran two wires to the two screws in the back and have them wrapped around the front handle for easy access (instead of reaching behind this super heavy scope all the time).





I set the inputs to "DC" which gave a better image. I think "AC" worked by spread out the the signal and made it way worse. The "BW limit" was off (made a small difference). X vs Y setting. Scope was set to "CONV" which is the normal display setting on this scope (your scope probably won't even have that option). In the end my X and Y (or A and B) were BOTH set to ".2" on the knobs.



In the end I realized my dream of watching an episode of Columbo in Black and Green on an oscilloscope. My bucket list (other buying a new 2021 Ford Bronco) is pretty much complete.


This is one of the chickens that rampaged all over the neighborhood:



                                                                           Delicious!

STRANGE ATTRACTORS + BASIC CODING

 

More fun with BASIC and Strange Attractors...

 

This combines two things I’ve been playing with: Strange Attractors (previously via oscilloscopes and oscillating circuits); and BASIC computer language (via a download of Rob Hagemans’ awaesome PC-BASIC emulator, which loaded on my 2020 HP Prodesk just fine: https://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/ ).

 

The first program, which comes from Julien Sprott’s “Strange Attractors” book (1993) wouldn’t work at all for me, because it had no callouts in the BASIC programming for video display. I solved that by FINALLY figuring out/remembering I needed to set the display to something my modern computer could use while using an emulator.

 




If you run this program and get an error code about line 1350 make sure to set your video to something the emulator can deal with. So, run the program. Did you get the error code? Type in “SCREEN 9” which will change the screen resolution in the BASIC emulator and all of a sudden it works! You can try lower numbers than 9.

If you find a number that works you could actually add it to the program AFTER line 1010. So it would be like “1011 SCREEN 9”. I didn’t add it to the program below so you could play around and see what video mode works for your setup. I tried adding it before the DEFDBL A-Z statement and it didn’t work (make it a number after 1010 but before 1020).

 


Remember, after cutting and pasting the code into your emulator (using ctrl+c to copy off of here, but using F11+V to paste in the emulator) you must type SCREEN 9 if you get a “1350 error”. Then just type "run" again.

2230 I% = (P% + 500 - PREV%) MOD 500

2300 PSET (XS(I%), XNEW)

2320 RETURN

2400 REM TEST RESULTS

2490 IF LEN (INKEY$) THEN T% = O

2510 X = XNEW

2550 RETURN


The 1040 PREV% = 2 line is the iterations (humps) in the wave. You can use 1-10. Starting here is 2, you should try 5 next. The higher you go the slower everything is. It gets boring. The photo shows line 1040 set to "5".

 

The 1360 can be changed to put your name on the screen. The "44" number on that line is what makes the name over to the right. Try making it a "34" and center it better if you like.

 

In the program above I've already made changes that incorporate the following caveats from author Julein Sprott:

"Line 1010: Be sure your version of BASIC supports double-precision (four-byte) floating-point variables. If it doesn't you may omit this line but you will then probably have to change the 4 in line 1560 to 3.99999 to avoid overflow resulting from round-off errors. With modern versions of BASIC and a computer with a math coprocessor there is no penalty and considerable advantage in using double precision. Because of the finite precision of computer arithmetic all cases will eventually repeat but with double precision the average number of iterations required before this happens is acceptably large.

Line 1320: Either your version of BASIC doesn't require this command or your computer or compiler doesn't support VGA graphics. Try reducing the 12 in line 1030 to a lower number until you find one that works. If none work try eliminating line 1320 altogether.

Line 1350: The WINDOW command defines the coordinates of the lower-left and upper-right corners of the graphics window for subsequent PSET and LINE commands. If your version of BASIC doesn't support this command you will have to delete this line and convert all the parameters in the PSET and LINE commands to address screen pixels. In such a case try replacing line 2300 with PSET (200 * X 200 - 200 * XNEW). One advantage of using the WINDOW command is that when a version of BASIC comes along that supports higher screen resolutions the program can be easily recompiled to take advantage of it."

You can do/undo these if you wish. Search "Strange Attractors" by Sprott for a cool author's website with html, word Doc and PDF versions of the book for free! Ebay also has copies of this book with the original (floppy) discs included--that also has other versions besides BASIC! Or just check out the word Doc from the author's site. The html has scanning errors/omissions and the PDF might too. I found fixes at the Word Doc versions. Check all three!


In the above I've done program 1 + program 2 + the fixes + my own little fix to the book's coding. Program 1 would give you just a single parabola instead of awesome chaos without the iterations of the 1040 line (introduced as program 2).



More Chaos!!! Even Stranger Attractors!!!!

Here is the program for up to fourth-dimension attractors with colors and different map surfaces (plane, sphere, torus, etc.). It seems to work just fine graphically without having to mess with anything like SCREEN 9 because the 1020 line is better and works with other lines of code to make the screen OK, at least in my emulator on my machine.

 




The additional lines of code (a lot) bring into the search for chaos quadratic equations, fractals, Henon maps, cubic and quartic and quintic maps, project onto various planes and surfaces, and can even use sound to express the results (see line of code 3500)!
