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:

   My resuslts are:
   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...
