BTW - the analog out works without the 5v plugged in. - as you can see from that picture :) On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 10:20 AM Sam Sokolik wrote: > Zip drive cables are awesome for this type of application. They are built > very well and I have not had any noise related issues with them. > > > On

Zip drive cables are awesome for this type of application. They are built very well and I have not had any noise related issues with them. On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 10:16 AM Mark Johnsen wrote: > I really like the ZIP drive cable in one of the first images. That brings > back memories (pun poss

I really like the ZIP drive cable in one of the first images. That brings back memories (pun possibly). I have the same BOB and Rigol, but neither are getting as much use as yours. Mark On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 7:50 AM Sam Sokolik wrote: > Here is an image of 100hz pwm modulated with 1hz sin w

The references I found say mach outputs a 200hz signal. I had tried it down to 100hz.. With computer driven pwm the resolution of the is base thread frequency/pwm frequency. So - when I was playing around with a charge pump at 10khz and base freq of 20khz - you get 0,50% and 100%. 1khz gives yo

Granted.. I know these are pretty basic. You can usually find them for under 10 dollars. They do work quite well though. I was working on some youtube content and was goofing around with this bob and the printer port. Setting up a pwmgen to test the analog out unearthed some things.. -It isn'
