AD9850 enhanced Arduino sine wave generator with keypad



AD9850 enhanced Arduino sine wave generator with keypad


After experimenting with the rotary encoder, I thought that entry of a frequency via a keypad of number keys would be a good idea.
So I modified the original setup by Andrew Smallbone and added this functionality to the device.

By pressing the blue button of the keypad, you can enter the frequency manually, and output by pressing the blue key again. You can still use the rotary encoder to modify the such set frequency.

AD9850 Arduino sine wave generator 0-40MHz

AD9850 Arduino sine wave generator 0-40MHz

Recently I got one of these cheap (6$) DDS modules from China, and started playing with.
You only need to send a decimal number to the unit, and this board generates a nice sine wave with the frequency of your number.

My first try was with a design and sketch I found on the internet.
Later I added functionality of entering the frequency by a number keyboard


Connect the board as described in the sketch

This is how the DDS board looks



ZOUT1 and ZOUT2 are the outputs for sine wave, the pins are labeled on the bottom of the board.





here is the code for Arduino.
I only copied this code, reference is in the code comments.

LM75 Temperature Sensor On Arduino


Wire the LM75 in the above way. SDA goes on A4 and SCL on A5. 

Get the I2C library for arduino

Here is an example code which reads the temperature to the full degree C. 
//for lm75
#include <Wire.h>
#define SensorAdresse 0x48 // I2C address of the LM75
#define TEMP 0  // temperature register
char dataString[7]; // temp as string: (-xx)x.x
double temp; // temp as double
int tgtemp; //val to store temperature


//---------- setup devices----------------
void setup()
{Serial.begin(9600); //turn on serial port
   Wire.begin(); //turn on I2C
}

 //----------temperature measure section-----------------


double get_LM75_temperature(int device, int regx) 
{
  int8_t msb;
  int8_t lsb;
  int8_t msb1;
  Wire.beginTransmission(SensorAdresse + device);
  Wire.write(regx);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  Wire.beginTransmission(SensorAdresse + device);
  Wire.requestFrom(SensorAdresse + device, 2);
  if (Wire.available()) {
     msb1 = Wire.read();
     msb = msb1 << 1; 
     lsb = Wire.read();
  }
  
  lsb = (lsb & 0x80 ) >> 7; 
  Wire.endTransmission();
   tgtemp = (msb /2);
   
  
  

}//-------------end temp measure section------------


 void loop()
{
  temp = get_LM75_temperature(0, TEMP);
   
Serial.println(tgtemp);
delay (500);

}
