7.96Hz Sinewave Generator Using A Pic Chip - Joe's Cat Website


This small project was a quick solution for someone that had an interest in generating a slow sinewave with a frequency of 7.96Hz similar in frequency with the Earth's magnetism and resonances.


HOW THIS WORKS

Basically, this circuit runs on a crystal at 4MHz for timing, and from this speed, the program produces a 0 to 255 sinewave value which is output to a Digital-to-Analog resistor ladder on PORTB that can be used by another circuit.

If you find this program useful for yourself, or a project, I will appreciate a little credit for providing it here for your use/project (for example, in your source code comments, or even a web link back to this web page is great if you have a project that uses it that you want to show/demonstrate).

Thanks.
