Use a Printer Port to
Record Digital Waveforms - 06/18/98 EDN Design Idea
(File includes several circuitsscroll to find this one) To record or capture special waveforms, thOse
that appear once or have no fixed frequency, the usual technique is to use a logic analyzer or a storage
OscillOscope. However, these tools are very expensive. Moreover, because of limited memory, a storage scope
can record fewer than 1000 samples. The technique presented here provides an alternative method to recording
digital waveforms. The idea is to use the PC's printer port to sample waveforms, and the PC's memory to store
data. . . . [by Dean Shen, Dycam Inc, Chatsworth, CA]

Voltage follower with 1G
ohm input resistance - This is a new implementation
of the AVR DDS signal generator v2. 0, already published in scienceprog. com. It is obvious that full credit
for the original schematic and the firmware goes to its original creator. Presented here is a different PCB
that is compact, single sided with only through-hole components for easy construction. . . . [Vassilis

Water-level Sensing & Control - This is a simple but reliable circuit for your sump-pump, aquarium, boat, or whatever, but
water only. Please be careful when working with 115Volt line voltage! Take every precaution to avoid
electrical shock. Unplug the power before making changes or touching resistor R1. Murphy's Law applies to all
of us!. . . . [Tony van Roon's circuit]

Weather Station - Logging six temperatures and solar activity at one minute intervals around the clock using
a 4 megabyte serial flash chip. The observation results are graphed to demonstrate weather conditions over
multiple days in the Chicagoland area. Ran into some problems with a broken wire, overheating project box,
shadows, and expOsed sensors. . . . [Robot Room website]
