Ouch. It's true. Not one single module. Been here, hanging 
around with the big kids, for quite a while and still 
nothing really modular. A few wood scrap and duct tape 
controller things and using a minimoog and odysseys for 
VCO/VCF/VCA's but that's about all. And they are stored 
away because, of course, no room.

The meter is for a demonstration of a qprox chip 
"theremin controller" for dorkbot-seattle
http://www.dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/dorkbotmtg10.html

It's an RC servo with a pointer controlled by a simple 
two 555 pulser that takes 0-5V kinda sorta. The box is 
a scrapped overhead projector case sitting on it's side. 
It turned out better than I expected. But I'm guessing 
it has some linearity issues.

I just need to make a module with really REALLY 
big knobs to mount it in.

Later,
Toby Paddock
