ThunderScope is an open-source, low-cost four-channel 1GSPS oscilloscope that streams data over Thunderbolt/USB4 to a PC for processing and display. The repository contains hardware designs (Altium files), FPGA gateware built with LiteX, and driver/engine software that integrates with ngscopeclient.

Use cases

• build a low-cost four-channel oscilloscope
• capture high-speed signals and stream them to a PC over Thunderbolt
• view and analyze waveforms with ngscopeclient
• customize FPGA gateware for a DIY oscilloscope
• learn open-source oscilloscope hardware design
• replace an expensive bench oscilloscope with a PC-based one

When to choose

• you need an affordable multi-channel oscilloscope with PC-based display
• you want fully open-source test equipment you can modify
• you have a Thunderbolt/USB4-capable PC and want high-throughput streaming acquisition

When to avoid

• you need a standalone bench instrument without a PC
• you need certified, calibrated measurement accuracy out of the box
• you are not comfortable assembling or reworking beta hardware
