Story

Just in time for next Valentine's Day I will show you how to make a gift for your geeky significant other that's neither fattening nor underwear.

A valentines themed microcontroller project.

Using an Arduino compatible Teensy 3.5 to graph a heart shaped math function on an Oscilloscope

Graph a heart shaped function on an oscilloscope using a Arduino compatible Teensy 3.5

Draw a heart on an O'scope on Valentines Day for your S.O.

The actual functions I used came from the bottom right hand heart displayed on the cup at the beginning of the video.

In particular:

tempX=16*sin(r)*sin(r)*sin(r); tempY=13*cos(r)-(5*cos(2*r))-(2*cos(3*r)) -(cos(4*r));

Then I scale them and store them for "display" in the main loop.

tempX=tempX*scale+offset; // scale x X{arrayIndex}=(uint16_t) (tempX); // store x in 16 bits tempY=tempY*scale+offset; // scale y Y{arrayIndex}=(uint16_t) (tempY); // store y in 16 bits I do this in steps through 2*pi radians.
