errors install picoscope on rpi 3

Post by 1885 »

Any ideas?

Used the following:

I'm using Jessie:
Linux raspberrypi 4.4.11-v7+ #888 SMP Mon May 23 20:10:33 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

Code: Select all

ERROR
# apt-get install picoscope

Hi 1885,

The PicoScope software is not available for Raspberry Pi platforms at this moment in time.

You can download the driver package for your device if you wish to develop your own application.

Thank you very much.

So If I have an Picoscope 2000 series USB scope and the Raspberry Pi drivers available.
Next question:
Is there any documentation of how I can capture data?
Using terminal commands?
Using c, c++, or python?
How can I use the drivers?
I searched https://labs.picotech.com/debian/ and found code but no doc.
Please throw me a bone. Thank You.

Hi 1885,

Depending on the PicoScope 2000 Series device you are using, you can refer to one of the following Programmer's Guides:

PicoScope 2204A/2205A (libps2000 driver): https://www.picotech.com/download/manua ... -guide.pdf

PicoScope 2206/7/8A & B, 2200 MSO & 2400A/B models: https://www.picotech.com/download/manua ... -guide.pdf

I've attached some files containing C source code which you can use to develop your own application - please use the one corresponding to the driver for your PicoScope:
PS2000_C_Files.zip

PS2000A_C_Files.zip

If you require a Python example, please e-mail support@picotech.com.

Did this work?

I thought that the current drivers are armhf and not arm64. Is there a way to get the drivers to work on an arm64 architecture?
