About your project

Project name: Improving Bela Workbench
Project Outcomes:
The project outcome is to extend the existing Bela oscilloscope, which is used for visualizing audio and sensor signals, into a more full-featured laboratory workbench. The main objective of the project includes:

  1. Developing a waveform generator and integrating it with the existing workbench.
  2. Adding the logic analyzer from the beagle logic project into the existing workbench.
  3. Improving the existing visualization features of the workbench.

Description

In 10-20 sentences, what are you making, for whom, why and with what technologies (programming languages, etc.)? (We are looking for open source SOFTWARE submissions.)

Project Abstract:
Bela is an open-source platform for creating high-performance audio and sensor processing projects. It consists of a hardware board, software libraries, and an integrated development environment (IDE) that allows developers to create and deploy real-time interactive audio and sensor processing projects. This project seeks to improve the Bela platform's browser-based oscilloscope, which is used to visualize audio and sensor signals, by expanding it into a more comprehensive laboratory workbench. The primary objectives are to integrate a waveform analyzer with the current Bela scope, include a logic analyzer from the beaglelogic project, and enhance the workbench's existing visualization features. The aim is to develop a more advanced and versatile workbench that can handle a broader range of signals and provide more accurate analysis and measurements.

Overview of Bela Workbench:
The Bela workbench is a browser-based integrated development environment (IDE) for creating, editing and deploying real-time interactive audio and sensor processing projects using the Bela platform. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features that allow developers to create, test, and deploy projects quickly and easily. It consists of the Bela oscilloscope which is a powerful tool for analyzing audio signals in real time. The oscilloscope provides real-time visualization and monitoring of audio and sensor signals. It allows developers to visualize the waveforms of their signals and make adjustments to their projects in real time based on the feedback they receive. However, with some improvements in the oscilloscope, it can be turned into a full-fledged workbench for audio-rate signals.
