    SD wave player/recorder

  • Playback waveform at 20k/s 12 bit D/A

  • Record at 2.5k/s 10 bit

  • PC software to make waveforms 12 bit

  • Status Led’s

The idea for the SD waveform player is so you can make test waveforms

To test amplifiers using software supplied or make your own, MATLAB

has been used for this.

 

This can be used as a cheap signal generator as you program the SD card

Once and just playback.

 

Other ides are as a small low frequency recorder the idea is to record

EEG data but any slow wave should be ok.
