#105: More Circuit Fun: Simple 3 transistor sawtooth generator / oscillator

Why people recommend it

Builds a simple three-transistor sawtooth oscillator and shows it running on a scope; people copy the circuit but report it gets finicky at higher frequencies.

Watch for: behaviour at higher frequencies

In their words

Here is a nice and straight-forward sawtooth oscillator that I learned from this video.
