ScopeMotion — Oscilloscope Animation Lab

Draw with voltage

Turn artwork into a stereo signal your oscilloscope can see.

Upload a vector or animated GIF, tune the trace, then play it live or export a WAV. Left is X. Right is Y.

Begin at low volume. Use a stereo breakout cable, DC-couple both scope inputs, center the trace, and increase sensitivity before raising the audio level. Never connect a speaker-amplifier output unless you know its grounding and voltage are safe.
