Where I discuss several versions of Forth and the attributes of each.

Forth Versions#

There are many versions of Forth. This is due to a variety of reasons:

1. Forth as a language is over 60 years old, hence there has been a significant amount of time for it …

I discuss designating ESPForth as ArduinoForth, which is Forth words calling the Arduino framework.ESPForth is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to learn Forth, however it is based on the Arduino framework. This entry continues to explore how to …

Where I explore filters in electronics and use the Espotek Labrador to demonstrate how to understand filters and create amplitude response curves. This discussion will be absurdly simplistic in comparison to the topic. My goal is to show sufficient …

ESPForth is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to learn Forth.

esp32Forth Serial Monitor is a version of Forth written by CH Ting. Ting is remarkable in the volume of documentation he provides, as well as the number of versions of Forth he has …

Using potentiometers for programmable bias and gain on the amplifier.

A Typical Problem#

If you followed the last couple of experiments, AC Signal Analysis and DC Sweep, you know you have a functional amplifier that will take either a DC level or AC signal …

Using the Labrador to examine the amplifier’s AC signal response.

Compared to the DC Sweep experiment, AC signal response is far easier to do.

Before we dive into how to perform the analysis, let’s discuss why we made the decision to add a bias …

Using the Labrador and a DMM, perform a DC sweep of an inverting amplifier. From our previous lab post we saw the simulation values for a DC Sweep. In this lab, we’ll use the Labrador along with a DMM to determine if our measured values match those …

I’ll use this amplifier to perform multiple tests using the Espotek Labrador.
