Interesting circuits for Oscilloscopes

[SimonPbr]

Hey everyone,

I just treated myself with a DS1054Z and have been fiddling around with it. Now my question is if there are any suggestions for fun/easy circuits that can be thrown together with some basic components that are nice to look at/mess with on an DSO and get to know all the functions (I got a good garden variaty of resistors, capacitors, diodes, mosfets, npn's, pnp's and some ic's like lm358, tl071, mc34063 etc..).    Its just more fun than reading the manual and forget everything again before actually needing it in a debugging situation.

I did charge/discharge a capacitor & tried to throw together a Wien bridge oscillator to generate a sine-wave using the lm358 but could not get it to work as of now.. 

I'm happy about all kinds of suggestions and if a similar topic exists, I apologize but I did not find anything specific..

Thanks in advance!

There are several described in videos on my youtube channel:

Sawtooth Generator with current sources, diode switches and hysteresis comparator


Control an RC servo with an analog voltage


Flexible Ramp Generator using 555


Simple 3 transistor oscillator, sawtooth generator


Crystal oscillator / crystal tester


Varactor diode oscillator

Awesome! That was just what I was looking for.. You got a new subscriber!  I'll go straight ahead and try some of that stuff!

Wow, I don't remember every seeing Flexible Ramp Generator using 555. That looks quite useful.
