I think I see 3 relays and 5 IC's per test tube, what are you cooking up in the lab today?
 
may have to find something similar IF I ever feel the need for a contest with the 2 extra jfet tester boards I got from OSHPARK ..

I'm putting together a brief on these w/schematics and whatever info I can supply. These are not my designs, but the folks behind them were kind enough to allow me to share some with all of you. There are two waveform options included for the previous project I sent out. I am not the author of either, but I copy / paste a mean file onto an MCU. There are also relays and relay controllers included for all projects, and some swag...which I need to reorder :oops:
 
Speaking of Rome (now that I have visions of Fig Labs ablaze whilst I fiddle a CDB tune.
I decided to take up violin one day, you know, out of the blue. I bought a violin and decent bow (according to everything I read). I called the local music store and signed up for lessons. I walked in, sat down, the instructor walked in...looked around and asked if my grandson was in the bathroom? No, he's not with me, why? Wait...are you? Yep! Wow, okay....this is a first for me. For me as well, I replied. Apprehension filled the tiny practice room, while bad notes seethed through the stained drywall separating the students. Let me see your instrument, he demanded. I quickly handed it to him. Hmmm...not bad...but there's one problem, it's setup for a lefty. That's not a problem I smiled. He shook his head, handing me the violin as he says Sorry, not interested. He opened the door and apologized for any misunderstanding. I just chuckled at the whole deal and donated the violin. Silly old Fig. :ROFLMAO:

Sorry to hear about that experience. I hope you decide to give it another go some time! I’m certainly no capable violinist, but when I was working at a music store I would frequently mess around with the violins on slow mornings where there’d be hours without any customers. I wasn’t good, but I was able to get a hang of how to do simple stuff pretty quickly— taught myself David Cross’ original violin melody to King Crimson’s starless, but didn’t get much better than that. An instructor is certainly a useful thing if you want to do something the “proper” way, but I’m sure you could have just as much fun and make decent enough progress just by figuring it out yourself. It’s a shame the instructor had to go about things in such a crappy way— that’s not the way a professional instrument instructor should conduct themselves when it comes to atypical clientele.
Hopefully you decide to pick up violin again in the future— and if you don’t go with an instructor, maybe it would be best for Mrs. Fig’s sake if you got an electric violin 😂

A viola or violin (I like viola better, but violin is probably more practical to pick up for the music I make) is probably at the top of the list of instruments I want to get next— I’ve had a strings pedalboard planned out for years now, based on my obsession with Jean Luc Ponty, David Cross, Gentle Giant, and Mahavishnu Orchestra 😂
 
I've been hanging on to a fiddle for a friend and I just recently (last week) asked him when he wanted it back, he'd forgotten all about it and said keep it.



Geeze, all this time I coulda been fiddlin' while Fig Labs burned.



Just a reminder, Fig, I'm a gluttonous-fool for flangers... 😘
