Signal generator with AD9850 and Arduino

   With AD9850 module we can made a signal generator controlled by Arduino with a rotary encoder and last frecvency stored in EEPROM.
   Base project is from http://www.ad7c.com/projects/ad9850-dds-vfo/

   I use a simplified schematic (without MF Frequency Shift):

   After I upload sketch and put oscilloscope I can see the square signal:

and sinus:

   I made a frequencymeter with Arduino with info from http://interface.khm.de/index.php/lab/interfaces-advanced/arduino-frequency-counter-library/

   My resuslts are:

   I made a movie named Arduino AD9850 DDS + Arduino frequencymeter

   I use this sketch for DDS with AD9850, Arduino and rotary encoder:

   Now, I have in tests a new version with a TFT display with touch using a homemade shield from Arduino:

   I made a movie with a preliminary test for DDS with AD9850 and TFT display with touch...
