Quick and less-dirty audio test oscillator

Quick and less-dirty audio test oscillator

Project description

I use this sine generator when I need to debug a project using an audio probe. Before building this, I had to strum my guitar and then quickly probe my project before the guitar signal was dead.

Verification status

Verified! I built one and it peeps happily at around 783Hz.
