Digital communications systems often drive electronic circuits with signals that generate fractals. This paper describes a simple example, a triangular wave form executing a random walk applied to a circuit consisting of a capacitor and a resistor is used to generate a Cantor “middle third” set. This example can be used as part of a physics demonstration or an introductory lab.
