I was inspired a while back by the simplicity of the FFT application written by Shane Ormond and featured on the 43oh blog. It was easy to duplicate and I've made a few changes, additions, and such that seemed worth documenting. I didn't have a signal generator other than the 1kHz square wave on my oscilloscope and some clunky code that I wrote for a microcontroller so I ordered an inexpensive AD9850 and hooked it up to a FR6989 LP so I could use the LCD to display frequency. I've been pleased with the AD9850 and it is hard to beat it for the price. The sine wave is more than sufficient

This project uses an inexpensive AD9850 board obtained off eBay to create a frequency generator boosterpack that is especially useful with the MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad. It features an encoder with a pushbutton to adjust frequency. In the photo below it is generating a 7000 Hz signal which agrees nicely with the oscilloscope. The schematic is simple: The encoder is a Bourns 652-PEC12R-4225F-S24. I tried various arrangements and value of resistors and capacitors for debouncing the encoder and switch. In the end I just added some capacitance as shown in the schematic. On the oscillosco

This is the Energia version of the library I shared here. You can find this function generator module easily in eBay for about $5 It has the same functions but this time the library features a object-oriented structure, which allows to manage several AD9850 modules at once. It works perfectly for both MSP430 and Stellarpad boards (tested), you just need to change the given pin numbers when you create the AD9858 class instance. class AD9850{ public: AD9850(int givenW_CLK, int givenFQ_UD, int givenDATA, int givenRESET); void init(); void doReset(); void osc(double Freq,doubl -
This is a FM synthesizer made for the Stellarpad using the AD9850 function generator. The FM synthesis is teorethicaly the same as the all-known frequency modoulation used for radio communications, but in this case the frequencies are suited to stay at the audio range, i.e. from 20Hz to 20kHz. Basically The AD9850 is used as a sine wave generator, and the microcontroller create each cycle a sample of ANOTHER sine wave, this one goes from 5Hz to 100Hz more or less. We can modulate this two sinewaves, the AD signal being the carrier and the stellaris signal the baseband. The outcoming spec

Hi there. First of all I'm not sure if I should post this here or inside another section fo the forum, apologies if I made a mistake. Probably some of you already know this IC, the AD9850. Its a sine and square wave generator with output frequencies between 0Hz and...more than 60MHz! Due to its very low price (around $5 on eBay) and usefulness, it is definitively a module everybody should have if you can't afford a function generator. This library comes with several functions you might find useful: /* Starts AD9850 operation changing its value to "all zeros". * Refreshes previous s

Hi, This will ring a bell to radioamateurs (HAM radio) but other may just ignore... I have posted to my blog a code for a simple VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator) or better said an RF frequency generator using an AD9850 DDS chip. This code is simple and has no special trick but might give you inspiration. http://xv4y.radioclub.asia/2013/03/19/code-source-vfo-avec-dds-ad9850ad9851-et-launchpad-msp430/ The pins are "wired" for my WSPR agile beacon generator kit, but everything can be changed to your taste or needs. The text of the blog article is in french but has no additional
