Basic Parts Tutorial #9: Sine and Simple Binary (rebuild)

zardOz's Principia Tutorials #9

Need help? This example shows the basic operation of the Sine signal generator and the Grapher.

A sine wave is the classic ocillating wave, it will produce a signal which increases to maximum(1.0) and falls back to minimum(0.0) with a smooth parabolic transition.

To best grasp the Principia binary system think of a signal of 1.0 as representing one of these qualities: On, Yes, True, Positive, Maximum, or Full. A signal of 0.0 represents: Off, No, False, Negative, Minimum or Empty. Then again, sometimes they just mean 1 and 0.

Some things such as the Sine, Sawtooth and RC Power sliders produce a "Raw" signal between 0.0 and 1.0, the Grapher shows the signal strength over time and helps visualize the operation of the Sine.
