**Signal 1** is the name for my first _signal generator_ project. The goal for this project
|
||||
is to create a device that can output clean sine waves in the 10 Hz - 100 kHz range. The
|
||||
primary use is testing audio equipment, like amplifiers.

is to create a device that can output clean sine waves in the 10 Hz - 100 kHz range for testing
|

audio equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
This is what I'm looking for:
|
||||
|
||||
* Sine wave
|
||||
* 10 Hz - 100 kHz minimum, easily adjustable
|
||||
* Line level output (100-600 Ohm output impedance; 2Vpp)
|
||||
* Display of frequency and Vpp settings
|
||||
* 10 Hz - 100 kHz frequency range sine waves
|
||||
* Stereo Line level output (100-600 Ohm output impedance; 2Vpp) to feed directly into an amp
|
||||
* Display of frequency and other settings
|
||||
* Frequency presets or 'zero' at 1kHz
|
||||
* Adjustable amplitude (e.g. volume control; 5mVpp - 2Vpp)
|
||||
* Digitally controlled
|
||||
|
||||
Bonus features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Other waveforms, like triangle and square wave
|
||||
* Larger frequency range
|
||||
* PWM support
|
||||
* Graphical display for all kinds of information
|
||||
|
||||
* Reverse RIAA circuit
|
||||
* Sweeping
|
||||
|

There are at this point two pieces of hardware I have selected:
|
||||
|

**AD9833 Programmable Waveform Generator** is a nice chip that can more than handle my simple needs. If

**ATMega xxx** is a logical choice for me. I'm not tied down to Arduino, so writing C directly in the
|
||||
_Atmel Studio_ would be OK. Having a microcontroller present also opens up the possibility of having
|
||||
a decent screen (maybe even touchscreen) on this project.
|
||||
**Arduino Nano**. I was going to go for an onboard ATMega328 and program it directly using
|
||||
_Atmel Studio_. However, there's so much good stuff out there for Arduino that I'll start out
|
||||
by just plugging in an Arduino Nano and program that. The upside is that it alread contains
|
||||
USB/Serial so it's be rather easy to make this devise computer controlled later on. That said,
|
||||
for the final build I might op to integrate the Arduino Nano components on my PCB anyway :-)
|
||||
|
||||
For now, I've ordered a few AD9833 breakout boards from China and I'll start working on a block diagram
|
||||
of the entire system soon, which you can read about in Part 2 of this series.
