[dorkbotottawa-blabber] Building oscilloscopes-for-soundcards for dorkbot?

[Sebastien Bailard]

Are people interested in building these at the dorkbot meeting?  (February 5, 
Tuesday Evening)

-Sebastien

This is part of the draft, (along with me doing a RepRap demo, and a few other 
people tentatively lined up):

"We will be building xoscope circuits. This is a buffer+amplifier
circuit which will enable you to use your computer's sound card
as an oscilloscope.  (An oscilloscope is a tool that measures,
records, and graphs the voltage in an electrical circuit.)  This
circuit may be helpful as a buffer/amplifier for circuit bending
as well."

"We'll be soldering up these circuits ourselves.  Please email by
noon, Friday January 25th if you want to reserve a kit (printed
circuit board and components); there will be a small materials
fee ~$10."
