Actually she DID appear onscreen. She had a cameo in the 5th season episode “Suspended”. Malloy asks a favor of her, referring to her as “Shaaron”.

In fact it does have a PWM output. Great idea. I’ll implement that for .003 or .004 (I still want the rotary encoder for control) and see how it works. It’ll save me a bunch of ICs.

Edit: It occurs to me that the voltage from the output of an RC-filtered PWM signal will ripple. I’ll have to see how much and if I care. I’m not sure at this point just how stable my threshold reference really needs to be.

Cool project.

Does that processor have a PWM timer output? If so you could feed that into a cap to make a reference voltage for the comparator, to have it under control of the processor.

I’ve used a UART output fed into a cap, picking appropriate characters too, to make a cheap’n'cheerful DAC before too.

I seem to recall once reading that he also taught Philosophy at USC. An interesting man indeed!

I am loving these! And this gentleman is so utterly familiar to me that I’m shocked I didn’t know his name. He was *everywhere* in those syndicated shows I watched growing up.
