Hi All, I'm back after mamoth digging session for my slabs in the back garden.
Plus again tomorrow for 3 days. My Back.....

I have ythought about using the 566 as a VCO, Triangle and square wave outs...

One chip I am currently planning with is the 8038 Function Generator chip.
This is a lot more versatile, with Sine, Square and Triangle outs. There is a 
Sine wave adjust pin, and a Duty cycle adjust (which works for all waveforms)
enabling Ramp both ways.

I am will be planning to build an 8038 based VCO in the V. near future. After 
I have built 2 PAIA modules, and I have finished digging the F*&^%#$!@ garden for
these slabs@!!!

Cheers, Dave ...
