Looking to create your own function generator? You’ve come to the right place! In a previous article, we walked through how to make a function generator on the powered PBB-272C powered breadboard. Now, we’re going to explain how to take a waveform generator prototype to your own DIY function generator!
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.
You might walk away with a greater appreciation for this important test equipment. But ultimately, you’ll come away with a brand new function generator that you can use to test your next prototypes and electronic projects!
In part one of this series, How to Build a Function Generator on the PBB-272C Powered Breadboard, we prototyped and tested the circuits for a function generator. If you haven’t completed this step yet, we highly recommend checking out that article.
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:
For this tutorial, you’ll get an inside look into how a third-party service fabricates a PCB. With the right equipment, you can do this yourself!
3. Next, solder the header pins to the PCB. These header pins play a big role in what type of waveform and the range of the frequency the unit will generate
4. Solder potentiometers to the correct designated area on the PCB (this is crucial).
3. In addition, the Hantek 2D72 has an auto set-up ability that with just one simple press the oscilloscope would pick the readable range for the input signal.
4. Furthermore, you can also use the Trigger button to manually trigger the waveform.
5. Finally you can you the right arrow to change the time base.
Once you’ve soldered your function generator together and tested the circuits, you’re ready to go! The last and final step: Use your function generator! For more electronics project ideas, check out our STEM education kits page. https://www.circuitspecialists.com/stem-education-kits
