Diy transistor curve tracer?
« on: April 19, 2013, 07:15:10 am »
Hello guys,

Just saw a really cool video about the Octopus Curve Tracer by w2aew, and was just wondering if its possible to make a DIY transistor curve tracer to plug into my oscilloscope for matching up JFET's for audio phaser projects?

Had a look on google, but just found lots of VERY expensive bits of kit.

Computers exist to solve problems that we wouldn't have without them. AI exists to answer questions, we wouldn't ask without it.

Thanks branadic.

But, looking for something a little more analog and less German.  :-//

Also here's a V/I tracer that might be of interest...

Thanks vlf3  :-+

Elektor had a design that has been adapted and sold out of Thailand. I bought a few and they work well. I have the original Elektor article as well.

At that price Id be a fool not to grab one........now iv just got to learn how to use a transistor curve tracer!
