-==== Concept ====+{{ :lfo_dlfo.jpg?300|}}==== Concept ==== 
 +This LFO has the following characteristics : 
 +  * Output swing from 0 to 4.8V 
 +  * Frequency from 0.5 to 10Hz 
 +  * Faded LED to visualise the LFO State 
 +  * Reset on the rising edge of a 5V Gate signal 
 +  * Low component count 
 + 
 +==== Version ==== 
 +V1.0 - 05/02/2013
  
 ==== Schematic ==== ==== Schematic ====
 +The LFO is based on an ATTiny45/85 microcontroller.
 +{{ :lfo_sch.png |}}
 +  * Analog Input on Pin 3 reads the "Rate" control, voltage from 0 to 5V
 +  * Triangle Waveform LFO Waveform is generated by the Microcontroller
 +  * LFO Output on Pin 5 (PWM Fast Mode) is filtered by R1/C1 to generate the 0-5V peak Triangle output
 +  * AMP control potentiometer controls the amplitude of the LFO Output
 +  * LED brightness is controlled by PWM as well
  
 ==== PCB ==== ==== PCB ====
 +The Miniature 2.5x5cm PCB allows this LFO to be integrated in any design.
 +{{ :lfo_pcb.png |}}
 +Board connector is as follows :
 +  * 1: 5V
 +  * 2: Gate
 +  * 3: GND
 +  * 4: LFO Output
 +
 +==== Design Files ====
 +Made with Eagle CAD Free version.
 +Download : {{:lfo.zip|}}
  
 +==== Software ====
 +Programmed using Arduino IDE for ATTiny mod. 
 +SW is currently under dev. Working demonstrator on breadboard, formal release "when ready".
