			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received my new Digital Storage Oscilloscope by <a href="http://www.jyetech.com/">JYE tech</a> from the <a href="http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/digital-storage-oscilloscope-with-panels-p-514.html?zenid=04abe5ab9cb2975e9492ad4006a7efa9">Seeed Studio Depot</a>. While it is certainly not as powerful as a full fledged oscilloscope, its compact size and affordable price ($49) make it a handy tool for any electronics maker. For someone just learning about electronics this scope will help them understand the consequences of changing various component values, signal levels or circuit designs of pulse or wave-shaping circuits (oscillating circuits that produce waveforms) or let them take a closer look at serial communications. I&#8217;m looking forward to watching the waveforms as I build some simple FM synthesis with basic oscillating circuits.</p>

<p>A nice bonus of the scope is that it is based on an AVR microcontroller and the creator provides documentation to help get you started hacking the device. Learn to program the scope <a href="http://jyetech.com/Products/LcdScope/DN062-08v01.pdf">here</a>, and how to add an external trigger <a href="http://jyetech.com/Products/LcdScope/DN062-13v01.pdf">here</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I built a DIY cardboard MIDI controller. I used an Atmega168 with code written in Arduino and programmed on an Arduino NG. The whole circuit is breadboarded and connects to the computer via a single USB cable. The serial output of the MIDI controller is parsed by a MaxMSP patch to the IAC Driver on my MacBookPro. I tested the controller with Ableton Live and it worked without a problem. I also included an LCD display that shows the current value of the controller knobs as they are tweaked and holds the last value of the last knob turned. The pushbuttons send MIDI continuous controller messages that alternate between 0 and 127 and an LED reflects the current value.</p>

<p>I am planning on using this Arduino based prototype to experiment with fine tuning the firmware for a line of boutique and custom MIDI controllers. The final project will be ported to C using the AVR C library and I will make the whole project open source.</p>
<p>Here is a look at the back. I just used whatever pots I had, so they aren&#8217;t matched. The LCD is a serial one from <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com">SparkFun</a>.</p>
