<p>The signal generator is a useful tool for the electronics enthusiast's work bench. &nbsp;You can spend a lot of money for a powerful signal generator. &nbsp;The UDS1000S series of signal generators are feature rich and low cost.</p><p>The module is readily available with at least three different maximum top frequencies, ranging up to 8MHz (sine wave). &nbsp;I purchased my 8MHz UDS1000S module and Au power adapter from AliExpress for less than AU$40 from here:<br>https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32873131334.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dWqQ8wU</p><p>I had a need for a compact and portable generator. &nbsp;My UDS1000S signal generator module offers a good frequency range (excellent within the audio range) and a sweep function to mention only a couple of key features. &nbsp;See included PDF User Manual (where site allows) for further details.</p><p>Output from the signal generator is made available to 4mm banana sockets and a BNC socket. &nbsp;Keep these wires short. &nbsp;The BNC wiring should be shielded cable to minimise the pick-up of stray noise.</p><p>The module draws just 1W of power, so it will work nicely from a battery source, making it portable, too. &nbsp;The chosen 18650 2500mAh battery should drive the signal generator for 8 hours between charges. &nbsp;The 18650 output voltage is brought up to the needed 5V by a MT3608 buck booster module. &nbsp;For my needs, this signal generator will only get light and infrequent use, so have not included a battery charging port nor charging circuit. &nbsp;Instead, when charging is due, I just remove the 18650 and charge it externally.</p><p>The case lid is held in place by four 6g (3.5mm) x 15mm countersunk screws. &nbsp;The signal generator is held in-place by three 5g (3mm) x 12mm screws.</p><p>Here is my 3D design. &nbsp;My design may match your needs, too.</p><p>My print is made in PETG 1.75mm Aurarum silver and black filaments, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer.</p><p>I hope you can find this design useful, too.</p><p>Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.</p>
