    No problem! Could have fooled me haha

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Thanks for the thorough advice! My knowledge on writing with flash memory is limited so starting small and building up will definitely be the way to go. I will definitely give some updates in the future once I start getting everything figured out!

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Okay that makes sense! I will be playing around with the signal generator tomorrow so hopefully I can figure out if I can dial it up on it then. Thanks for all the help!

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    To center the input on something other than ground would this mean putting the wire that usually goes to ground somewhere else? And by external hardware are you referring to a voltage divider or something else? I've been looking around, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find much...

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Thanks for your help, that makes more sense now! So basically that script would be unable to read and write the data at the same time? Originally I thought 40 ms latency meant that it writes the data every 40 ms, but would still be reading at the same time to prepare for the next write, so I...

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Thanks for the reply Windadct! I am able to use the Arduino IDE with the Teensy, but do you think the serial monitor is able to display a signal at this frequency? I am also interested in writing the data to an SD card at this frequency, because from what I can tell the ADCs on the Teensy 3.6...

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Hi NTL2009, thanks for the reply! I'm working on a project where I want to sample at 60,000 S/sec (10,000 S/sec from 6 sensors) so I was hoping to test the limits of the microcontroller by first attempting to read and write a high frequency sine wave, to make sure it is possible. I was going to...

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Thanks for the reply Baluncore! To answer your questions... I was thinking a sine wave, but is there any difference between using a sine or square wave? I believe the zero reference for the ADC is 1.2 V, is that the voltage I would have to input from the function generator? I wasn't able to...

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Thanks for the reply aethergravitics! Would using a volatge divider circuit with resistors complete the same function as an opto isolator ic? I would prefer that option as I already have some resistors that I could use but don't have an opto isolator on hand.

    Testing a Microcontroller with a Function Generator

    Hello, I have more of a mechanical background so I was looking to get some help from someone with an electrical background with this. I am trying to use a BK Precision Function Generator (datasheet: https://bkpmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/manuals/en-us/4017A_manual.pdf) to send a signal to...
