This is the first part of a project in which we will design an build a function generator capable of providing a sine, triangle, square, pulse and ramp wave-forms. We will be using the XR2206 function generator I.C. A 8 digit 7 segment display will be used to display the frequency. The software for the […]

Upgrade to 5 Volt Precision Reference Standard – Part 2
This is Part 2 of the upgrade project to allow the 5 volt Precision Reference standard covered in my previous video to be switched to give 100mV, 1V, 5V and 10V outputs. In this final part I will cover the final build on a custom PCB, calibrate and box the unit. The link to Part […]
Making your own PCB the easy way
In this tutorial I show you from start to finish how to make your own custom printed circuit board using Photo Etch PCB. Materials used: Jetstar Standard (Ver. II) A4 Inkjet clear film – specially formulated inkjet film for the production of artwork. Photo Etch PCB (Single-Sided Epoxy Glass) Ferric Chloride Etchant (granules of ready […]
5 Volt Precision Reference Standard Upgrade – Part 1
This project will be in two parts. This first part here covers the circuit upgrade to allow the 5 volt Precision Reference standard covered in my previous video to be switched to give 100mV, 1V, 5V and 10V outputs. We will test the upgrade circuit on a breadboard and show how it can be simply […]
