Alright so I need some help trying to increase the current of or maybe even voltage (not sure) of the output of a function generator (ac) that I built using a kit
(specifically, from allspectrum).
Its a function generator kit Model # FG-500K.
Specs:
For the application I am trying to do, it seems as if its just not getting any electricity. When I used my teacher's more expensive (maybe like greater than $400) function generator it worked fine... and I don't think the frequency was the problem so I wanted to know if there was an easy way (to create/ cheap to buy) to amplify the current or if something else should be changed. I would rather use the one we have so that we can use it at anytime and don't have to go to school to use it. Have any ideas? It outputs by clipping 2 alligator clips for pos and neg I think. Wiki says that transistors amplify signal and something about op amps but I dont really know..
Thanks..
