[sdiy] Adding signal LED's to an LFO module

    Here is a "keen" idea.  Use one of the bi-color LEDs (the one that has two
legs, not the three leg job).  Connect it through an apropriate sized resistor
to one of the outputs.  I am not familiar with TomG's SBM board, but I am
willing to bet one of the waveforms is a triangle.  I would connect it to that
output.  You probably only want about 5 mA flowing through the led.  Anyway, at
low frequencies, you will see it alternate between red and green.  At high
frequencies, it will be yellow (or something like that).  Anyway, just a
thought.
