Linear Technologies Arduino - "Linduino" libraries

[jackinnj]

You can download them from the Linear Tech website - their "Linduino" is an Arduino UNO with an isolator --(good, particularly if you work with high voltages) and integrates with various Linear Tech development kits.

Will be posting more...

In the "User Contributed" files, Linear has provided an audio spectrum analyzer using the LTC6904 oscillator chip:

Those are neat little chips, However I am not impressed with only 10 bits worth of adjustability.
But, however it is good enough for a wide range of uses.
I did order some of the linear resistor programmable versions to mess with.

I am hoping to build a programmable generator with them with resolutions of 1Hz or 10Hz, if not 100hz or so.

Probably will lock it with a PLL to a Xtal and MCU for the divider function or something.
Just a few ideas.

Really cool devices, I also have the LTC6992 PWM chips as well.

The link to the project you mention would be nice as well.

I don't see the attraction with the limited ability of the Arduino - today why not design a cape or whatever the cute name is for a BeagleBoard? the BeagleBone Black is $45 can run Linux distros with full PC ecosystem interconnect...

or even a general pupose interface like USB for use with any mini/micro/ect ATX/ITX PC?

I still can a lot of juice out a PIC 16C54!

I use development boards from TI, Linear and ADI. Of these. Linear seems to have the best written documentation, and the most easily navigable website. ADI is second, and TI is a distant 3rd.

Here's a comparison of Uno with Linduino -- you can see the header for the Linear Tech Evaluation modules, and the isolator.
