Triangle core breadboarded

A project log for 7Wave Oscillator

A bench top oscillator which outputs seven different waveforms. Many waveform parameters are controllable.

I've started prototyping. The first thing to do is make what I'm calling the triangle core. It's the only circuit that's generating an independent waveform. Everything else is a type of wave shaping.

I made a breadboard layout (If anyone knows of a better program than PEBBLE to use, please inform):

And then I put it on the breadboard:

Here's a video of the triangle and square waves changing frequency and symmetry (duty cycle):

The triangle sides aren't straight. I suspect either the capacitor or weird diode things. Also, the frequency range isn't as wide as I would like it. I suspect the diode of dropping too much voltage.

In any case, further testing is required!
