Many thanks, yep it sounds like using a 555 timer to make a PWM signal is a better option per battery life. I'll do some searching for an exact circuit that
I'm building this microwave detector: <http://www.atvinderby.co.uk/2.4Ghz_SWR_Meter.htm> Note the anode end of the diode: it is not soldered to the antenna
Calculate the series resister as per normal as if the LED is connected directly to the power supply (which is what will happen when the pot is turned to 0
If the sampling frequency of your sound card is 44.1 kHz than the maximum frequency you can recover from your sampled data is 22.05 kHz, 1/2 of your sampling
... This is getting *way* too complicated... Look at this circuit here: http://www.dprg.org/tutorials/2005-11a/index.html which is shown driving a motor, but
