Signal/Function generator kit

Ahem, meant "big kit sellers"

"Ross Vumbaca"

You get a lot for just $24.

The design ( aka Miniosc) is one of mine.

I've done two, but they are no longer available as a kit.

I'm not aware of any function gen kits still available in Oz.

Realistically, you won't learn much buy building a kit, apart from how to solder and follow instructions. You are better off simply reading the articles for how they work if you are interested in how sig gens work. Buy a nice and capable fully-built one, and then experiment with your own circuits.

Come to think of it, it is still available from Kits'r'us:

Actually, looks like Phil's pocket kit is still available:

I got one of those (actually one of Phil's originals) and it's great. Gets a lot of use and I recommend it.

Thanks for the links, very interesting reading. I originally found the SC article, but it was not completely available, without a subscription. Didn't know I could get it from the source :).

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't originally see this one, bought the kit a few days ago, great price, and looks good.

Ross..

This is a similar box from Farnell.

The performance is better than you'd expect for such a small cheap kit. Hope you like it. :)

Cheers Bob

I can't see why you'd bother these days. You can get better performance from a cheap computer sound card (which you probably already have) and free (or commercial) software. My laptop provides me with a great AF signal generator, CRO, spectrum analyzer, distortion meter etc. I only use my function generator for RF.

Will one in your pocket or tool case ??

Indeed, I was using my PC's sound card originally, but I wanted something separate for when my PC isn't available. Also it wasn't expensive and I was interested in seeing how one might implement one of these.
