I'm working on building my own function generator!

If you're not an EE - a function generator is a pretty common piece of electrical engineering lab equipment.

I've got all the source files up on GitHub - feel free to take a look: https://github.com/cushychicken/bfunc

I've also been keeping a weekly project journal. I just posted the latest installment today if you'd like to see what I've gotten up to: http://cushychicken.github.io/bfunc-weekseven-log/

I'm already planning a second prototype and board spin with more functionality.

If you need or want a really bare-bones function generator for your home lab, get in touch! Instructions for how are in the post. )



Bookmarked. I like your Tkinter code, a lot cleaner than my typical mess. One suggestion: Add a PDF of your schematic for those of us who don't have the full tools installed.


Thank you! This is the first time I've written a GUI. It was clear to me from reading a lot of examples online that you can get lost in the weeds really quickly if you don't have some sort of system for organizing everything. There are just so many variables needed, and the program flow is so much less linear than what I'm used to.

Yeah, I've been meaning to add a PDF sch for a while. Just gotten swamped setting up a home office in the last week. I'll try and post one up today!
