A recent presentation at Osmocom's event highlighted a method for low-cost, high-speed data acquisition using HDMI. The approach involves utilizing inexpensive USB 3.2 HDMI video grabbers, specifically the Macrosilicon MS2130, in conjunction with small FPGA development boards like the Sipeed Tang nano series. Both components are priced around $10 each. This setup allows users to capture various types of data by connecting the devices via an HDMI cable, effectively functioning as a low-cost logic analyzer, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), or a DIY software-defined radio (SDR). The presentation emphasizes the potential of this technology for hobbyists and developers looking for affordable solutions in data acquisition.
- The method uses low-cost HDMI video grabbers and FPGA boards for data acquisition.
- It enables high-speed data capture through HDMI connections.
- The setup can function as a logic analyzer, ADC, or DIY SDR.
- Each component costs approximately $10, making it accessible for hobbyists.
- The technology was presented at Osmocom's event, showcasing innovative applications.
