Wave Generator -- Jul 2014
LaserMill Hardware Last Updated June 2024

I spent some time in Visio to generate a wave generator board from wooden scrap material. This let me experiment with the Microsoft Garage’s Epilog Helix laser cutter.

This board was designed to recreate the standing wave experiment with a linear actuator being driven with a Fourier Transform-generated waveform.
