How Good Is a $10 Signal Generator Kit for Beginners?

[@ralphups7782]

I was just wondering, would it be worth adding a sound chip for the wave output.?

Fun video well done!

You have something really solid here with these vids - some of your vids have done REALLY well (like the one with 40k views). You could easily build this out into a bigger channel (if that's something you want to do). Either way - great stuff. Keep it up. -Andy

Thanks Andy for the incredibly kind feedback! I'd love to build this into a bigger channel eventually and teach more people about electronics. For now I'm just working on trying to improve a little every day.

this was awesome! a small explanation on what a signal generator is in laymen terms would have helped at the start of the video as i dont have an electronics background. great video though!

Thanks for the feedback!

"Kainkalabs" channel has two really excellent videos on improving the circuit of this kit. It has a lot of weird flaws in the values they've chucked in it. You can likely just search "XR2206" on youtube search and find them By the way, if you want a 'cheap' oscilliscope that's good enough for hobbiest use, I recommend FNIRSI's DPOX180H. Being battery powered means it's mains-earth ground isolated which is nice for beginners. At 2 channels and over 100Mhz it does a lot of good things for a basic scope in small package! And it's cheaper than any "benchtop" scope you could get. A benchtop with good FFT and basic protocol decoding would be 'ideal' to start at, but at a good price point below those, you can get this one.
