The first tests with the flap type wave maker are looking good. Today the electronic control loop was tuned and the setup was placed in water for the first time. The flap is actuated by a voice coil and its position is measured by an LVDT. The position controller accepts an analog setpoint signal which is generated by a function generator with arbitrary wave form possibility. This makes it very easy to create special waves.
