[sdiy] Senso's garage sale forever...

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hey Batz and all the happy DIY boys and girls,

I've always wondered what a staircase generator circuit would be good for.
;-)

Also, I love the three decimal place precision for the "Shoe Size"
parameter.


And the question that I'm SURE is on everyone's mind (drum roll, please):

Did you happen to record the CP60 on it's trip? I'd pay a dollar for an MP3
of THAT!


Cheers!
