I'd *really* like to know what frequency ratios of oscillators B and
C create static or cycling patterns (A & D produce a lissajous figure
baseline)). My idea is to use something like an Arduino with some
rotary encoders that jump between ideal frequencies.
Not high frequency at all, that project was from 1975. Oscillator A
is 60Hz, oscillator B is variable from 60-240Hz, oscillator C is
variable from 300-3000Hz, and oscillator D is variable from 30-300Hz.
True but we're dealing with square waves here. Doing this digitally
(which I am very interested in) requires a decent sampling rate to keep
the corners sharp, which is a large part of the appeal of this analog
version. Having tried it with a laser and some galvos I can tell you
that good bandwidth makes a big difference. And that's as much as I know
about it. I'm here to learn from you guys.
I've been working on a vector generator. The first iteration is about
20k vectors/second but supports lines and points only (no circle
segments or anything fancy yet). Just finished routing the PCB.
It should be usable with most dev boards that use Arduino Uno pinout
(3.3v or 5v). I have been testing with NXP Freedom KE06Z but I expect to
port the code to Duemilanove and STM32 Nucleo G474RE at least.

I've been using a Teensy board, that processor has a pair of built-in
DACs, so it wasn't hard to have the old scopes display their own names.
8 bit DACs? Tell me more.
