002 How To Use Arduino DDS Frequency Signal Generator
by RonFrtek
In this Tutorial we will learn how to make a Frequency Signal Generator using a AD9850 module and Arduino.
Note: I managed to get frequency up to +50MHz but the signal quality gets worse with the higher frequencies.

You can see the output results for the frequency 10Hz
The Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu also needs to be installed. Download Free version or register for a Free Trial.
Start Visuino as shown in the rst picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino
When the dialog appears, select "Arduino UNO" as shown on Picture 2
Add "Analog Devices Serial DDS Synthesizer (Signal Generator) - AD9850" component
Select "Synthesizer1" component and in the properties window under "Frequency (Hz)" set the desired
frequency, in our case we set the frequency 10Hz
Select "Synthesizer1" component and connect pin "Word Load Clock" to Arduino digital pin 8
Select "Synthesizer1" component and connect pin "Frequency Update" to Arduino digital pin 9
Select "Synthesizer1" component and connect pin "Reset" to Arduino digital pin 10
Select "Synthesizer1" component and connect pin "Data" to Arduino digital pin 11
In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build
and Upload" button.
Step 7: Play
If you power the Arduino UNO module, the AD9850 will start to put the frequency on the output pins, Square wave out
on "SQ Wave Out 1" pin or Sine wave on "Sine Wave Out 1" pin.
Congratulations! You have completed your project with Visuino. Also attached is the Visuino project, that I created for this
