[sdiy] Digital Modules

[Adrian Corston]

I don't really know an in-depth answer to your questions, but there has 
been a fair bit of discussion here on the list about digital stuff and 
the latest cool MCU options (that mostly goes way over my 
substantially-analog head!)

I will note that I've seen a few DIY projects that used the MCP4822 
chip, which is a little cheap dual 12-bit D/A converter with SPI (but 
getting a bit long in the tooth now though, so I'm sure there are better 
options out there...)

Cheers,
A.
