Variable-PWM

A Printed Circuit Board designed and built by Peter Gutkovich.

Description

How It Works (and Specs)

The Variable PWM PCB is a PCB designed and built by Peter Gutkovich. It was designed with Autodesk Eagle and printed by JLCPCB. It produces a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) square-wave signal. This signal can be modified with potentiometers VR1 and VR2. VR1 changes the signal's frequency, which can either range from around 0.7 HZ - 7 HZ (SLOW MODE) or 19.7 HZ - 216.7 HZ (FAST MODE). Switch S1 sets the board to FAST MODE if it is switched to the left, and it sets the board to SLOW MODE if it is switched to the right. Potentiometer VR2 controls the signal's duty cycle which ranges from 0% - ~100%. LED D1 indicates the signal produced by the board by flashing on and off depending on the signal. Click here for an in-depth explanation.

How To Use the Board

The board should be powered with a 9V Battery. Use the + and - pins to power the board. Use the OUT pin for the output signal, and the GND pin for connecting to the board's ground. Information on how to use the switch and potentiometers can be found here. Click here to see this board in action.

Variable-PWM

A Printed Circuit Board designed and built by Peter Gutkovich.

Description

How It Works (and Specs)

The Variable PWM PCB is a PCB designed and built by Peter Gutkovich. It was designed with Autodesk Eagle and printed by JLCPCB. It produces a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) square-wave signal. This signal can be modified with potentiometers VR1 and VR2. VR1 changes the signal's frequency, which can either range from around 0.7 HZ - 7 HZ (SLOW MODE) or 19.7 HZ - 216.7 HZ (FAST MODE). Switch S1 sets the board to FAST MODE if it is switched to the left, and it sets the board to SLOW MODE if it is switched to the right. Potentiometer VR2 controls the signal's duty cycle which ranges from 0% - ~100%. LED D1 indicates the signal produced by the board by flashing on and off depending on the signal. Click here for an in-depth explanation.

How To Use the Board

The board should be powered with a 9V Battery. Use the + and - pins to power the board. Use the OUT pin for the output signal, and the GND pin for connecting to the board's ground. Information on how to use the switch and potentiometers can be found here. Click here to see this board in action.
