SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on building a basic square wave oscillator using a sine wave input. The simplest method involves creating a resonant circuit to generate a sine wave, which is then fed into a digital inverter, such as the 7400 chip, to produce a square wave output. Participants emphasize the importance of voltage scaling and safety precautions when working with mains voltage. The conversation also touches on using components like Schmitt triggers and J-K Flip Flops for waveform shaping and the necessity of using a voltage divider to ensure the sine wave is appropriately centered and scaled.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of sine wave generation and resonant circuits
- Familiarity with digital inverters, specifically the 7400 chip
- Knowledge of voltage dividers and their application in signal conditioning
- Basic safety protocols for working with mains voltage
- Research the operation and applications of Schmitt triggers in waveform shaping
- Learn about J-K Flip Flops and their role in digital signal processing
- Explore PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) techniques for motor control
- Investigate safe practices for working with high-voltage circuits
Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists building oscillators, and professionals working with motor control circuits will benefit from this discussion.

I lied I think. Sorry I've looked at it again and it looks like there's a commutator there so it's probably DC I would guess. Not too sure. I think it's best this topic gets retired now while I do some more work. I'll open a new topic when I've got a bit further that's more relevantly titled, thanks to everyone who contributed.
