Project of a mini wave generator using the DAC MCP4725
This project presents a simple waveform generator based in an Arduino Nano (or Uno) and one DAC MCP4725.
There are some limitations related to sample rate due the use of Arduino Nano, but the result is very interesting.
Basic components
- Arduino Nano (Uno)
- DAC MCP4725 (i2c)
- OLED Display (i2c)
- Rotary encoder
- Switch
- Some passive components
As can be seen in the picture, the circuit is very simple with just some components.
The mini Wave_Gen has 4 different waveforms
- Sine
- Ramp
- Square
- DC level
Changing the sample rate is possible to balance between signal frequency and "perfection" of waveform. See the difference between 16, 32, 64 and 128 samples per cycle.
