Project: Waveform Generator
Objective: To create a functional waveform generator that produces square, triangular, and sine waves.
Application: A waveform generator has several uses ranging from setting a timing sequence to finding the response of a circuit. It is an important and common piece of lab equipment in an electronics lab. I read somewhere that someone just used Audacity and an old MP3 player to generate the different waveforms...ingenious!
Welcome to the Waveworks Laboratory! This blog documents an electrical engineer's adventure in creating fascinating electronics. From one atrocious result to the next, he dreams (quite literally) of eventually achieving a successful outcome in each of his projects. The title, "Waveworks Laboratory", reflects an emphasis on RF/Mixed-signal electronic design.

NEW PROJECT: Single-to-Dual Power Supply Circuit
Project: Single-to-Dual Power Supply Circuit (a.k.a. Virtual Power Supply)
Objective: To create a circuit that will evenly split the voltage from my TEKPOWER TP3005T, a single power supply box, and provide ±voltage values with respect to common. (a type of voltage divider circuit)
Application: A single-to-dual power supply circuit can be used anytime someone needs to split the voltage. In my case, I need this circuit to help with the generation of AC waveforms from a constant DC supply.
Why: From the previous project, the astable multivibrator, I used two 9[V] batteries to supply +9[V] and -9[V] to the op-amp. Instead of having to replenish my supply of 9[V] batteries, I have a TEKPOWER TP3005T single power supply box that can be used instead; paired with a single-to-dual power supply converter, it will allow a range of split ±voltage values rather than a fixed ±9[V].

NEW PROJECT: Astable Multivibrator w/Op-Amp
Project: Astable Multivibrator w/Op-Amp
Objective: To build an astable multivibrator circuit using passive elements and an operational amplifier.
Application/use: From this project, I hope to build a reliable and accurate square-wave generator.
Why: Since I am interested in analog electronics, I figured it would be worth-while to build my own waveform generator. I've been anxious to build an astable multi-vibrator since hearing about them in my electronics class. Thus, I thought this project would be a decent start.
