Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Analog Shield: Improved Analog Circuit Design with Arduino”.
I’M bill esposito. I am a stanford phd student and i am building the analog shield, which is an attempt to put the electronics lab in a box. The analog shield is a arduino shield that is designed to have a dual rail power supply, a 4 channel, adc 4 channel dac and a breadboard area, and it’s to bring the like. I started saying to bring the lab out into the world. Allow you to build all sorts of cool analog circuits and improve the analog to digital interface on the arduino uh. It is cross platform friendly. It is an arduino footprint. We’Ve got it working on the chip, kit, 32 and uh. It works on the mega uh.
The 2560. so far, people are very excited. Um i’ve gotten a lot of hobbyist hackers, especially people who know a lot about analog circuits they’re like yes, this is we need. We need this higher fidelity, better interface.
I think makers can build all sorts of cool tools. Uh get get a lot better, uh examples of getting in from the analog analog systems. We’Ve got, we’ve done a spectrum analyzer i’ve got. I built a polyphonic music generator. I built a signal generator that goes up to 17 kilohertz and does sine square triangle sawtooth wave. What advice would i have for young makers find something that excites you do something that you’re really passionate about and make it great .
