Posted on March 18, 2015 by R-B Leave a comment

Nick Johnson from Arachnid Labs has designed a powerful and affordable signal generator (named Tsunami) based on the Arduino platform, and is now running a Kickstarter for making it available to electronics hobbyists worldwide. The Tsunami is a powerful and flexible signal generator built on the Arduino platform. It’s the best way to get started experimenting with analog signals, and a great tool for a huge variety of tasks, too. The tsunami takes the versatile processor behind the Arduino Leonardo, and combines it with a Direct Digital Synthesis chip, which makes generating analog signals incredibly straightforward. It also has flexible input and
