Lissajous Pattern Generator Kit

[@JohnAdams-su3tt]

In the 70's we put the left channel of an audio signal on the x and the right channel on the Y of a fly back transformer of a TV and it created the coolest psycadelec effect that mezmerised people at house parties. I wonder if that could be done on a modern video monitor?

[@DarianCabot]

Neato! Some things (like this) really do look best on a CRO 👍

Yokata! Dig all your videos! Cheers!

How did you get that really nice screen grab of the CRT?

[@NearFarMedia]

I set up my Samsung Note 20 Ultra phone on a tripod, draped a black t-shirt over the whole lot to block out light and tweaked the manual video settings on the phone until it looked good. :D Nothing scientific, just played around a bit until it looked nice. One day I'll make a proper hood to hold my phone perfectly.

Might there be a practical use for this device? Some sort of testing of another device? I guess testing the XY mode on a scope is obvious...

[@NearFarMedia]

I'm not sure on practical uses, but it is fun to play with. 😄

Hi! Can I get a link to the chip leg shaper? (4:33)? Thanks!

[@fullwaverecked]

What are your thoughts regarding running this in animation mode for a few hours a few times a week? Specifically, wear and tear on the old trusty Kikusui COS 5060A, or my Tek TDS 310? THANKS!

[@NearFarMedia]

It shouldn't be too bad, just keep the intensity down as low as you can and make sure the image keeps moving to prevent burn in.

[@abeleski]

cant find this kit anywhere on ebay or aliexpress. Would like one :(

[@NearFarMedia]

It seems they might only be on Yahoo Auctions Japan unfortunately. There might be a similar thing available elsewhere. Otherwise, you can create the effect with two function generators, or maybe even replicate the circuit yourself on breadboard if you are handy with an arduino etc.

[@t1d100]

Fun!

[@safeermn3134]

are you an electrical engineer

[@NearFarMedia]

As far as I can get before going to University. I am an electrician with extra training.

[@TheDefpom]

I think I need to learn japanese so I can buy test gear from somewhere other than eBay to try and get better prices.

[@NearFarMedia]

I am a bit spoilt here :D But on the other hand, it can be reallly expensive to get stuff shipped from overseas ebay sellers.
