    Bypass the coupling cap on the SND card and you'll have a DC scope

    There's always an old scope somewhere... a good ol' 20Mhz dual channel is still good enough for many purpose. Sure you can found one for ~50$ used. There's still some USB model available here and there... and finnally there's some PC card.

    But.. hey wait a minute... sure you have a TV? You could try to build this one... based on PIC12F675

    i always been amazed of that... never tested it though...yeah limited... but come on.. it's a PIC12F675!!!

    You've got some brass ones mister_e, I'll give you that much. Why in the world are you advertising PBP for? Are you aware that this forum is owned & run by a company which sells this product?

    WTF is going on with you Trent? If you have any anger... buy yourself a dog, find friends, consult a psychologist, drop me PM or e-mail directly!

    Well, I'm about to give up on this circuit - it's hard to see any future in it. Instead, I've just ordered one of these JaF Microstep modules. http://www.jafmotion.co.uk/motordrives.htm .

    Let's see if it does what it say on the tin....

    Trent, looks to me like mister-e provides a link on his website to a US distributer of PBP. I don't think he sells it himself.

    OK - did I miss something here.. How the hell did this topic get from discussing telescope drives to discussing the merrits of death row ???

    I gather the original poster gave up in the end and purchased a commercial driver. Maybe because the topic went way off topic, maybe as purchasing a ready made alternative to developing his own was the easy option?

    You're absolutely right mister_e, I shouldn't be taking my frustrations out on you, I do apologize. You must understand that I have a lot on my plate at the moment -- the Australian secret service is busting my balls for me to come up with an electronic device to help catch pedophiles. My life depends on this project, they're pushing me real hard for this.

    Perhaps you might be able to help me, mister_e -- got any ideas on how to achieve something like this?

    Don't need to catch them... just kill them... a camera and a gun... that's all you need.
