@ScottSeidman yeah, something based on the XR2206 is about the only analog approach you'll run into
and yeah...it's not promising -- Exar discontinued the part several years ago, and the knockoffs range from "passable for a hobbyist app, but not really to spec" to "welp"
@ScottSeidman are you OK with them having to use something that uses digital controls instead of analog?
if so, you could use one of the lower-end ADI DDS chips with a microcontroller driving it around
Wikipedia's Docking and berthing of spacecraft says that
The first spacecraft docking was performed between Gemini 8 and an uncrewed Agena Target Vehicle on March 16, 1966.
Were multi-pin electrical connections made as part of that docking maneuver? If not, when was this first done?
Connectors ...
@RussellMcMahon @SamGibson @VoltageSpike wanted to check with you about a question on our site and whether you would want it (and whether it's a reasonable question to begin with). mattermodeling.stackexchange.com/q/8484/7
Some of our users suggested had misgivings about it, but I don't know much about the topic.
