Looking to create your own function generator? You\u2019ve come to the right place! In a previous article<\/a>, we walked through how to make a function generator on the powered PBB-272C powered breadboard<\/a>. Now, we\u2019re going to explain how to take a waveform generator prototype to your own DIY function generator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond saving money (function generators can be expensive!), a DIY function generator is a fantastic way to learn how to take a prototype to a final product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might walk away with a greater appreciation for this important test equipment. But ultimately, you\u2019ll come away with a brand new function generator that you can use to test your next prototypes and electronic projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Build a Function Generator<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In part one of this series, How to Build a Function Generator on the PBB-272C Powered Breadboard<\/a>, we prototyped and tested the circuits for a function generator.  If you haven\u2019t completed this step yet, we highly recommend checking out that article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a completed prototype, the next stage of development is Printed Circuit Board (PCB) production. There are a couple of techniques that could be used to fabricate a PCB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
