[sdiy] Digital accumulator VCO core?

[Tom Wiltshire]

I found it in the end! (It had been bugging me that I couldn’t remember). It was Ryan Williams, on his "Homebuilt Hardware” site, now no longer:

Obviously you could easily use analogue electronics to derive a square wave from that with a comparator, but not sure how you could shape it into a triangle or sawtooth waveform!?
