Re: VU-meter and attentuator

2003-05-05 by jmaddocks1975

This module is exactly what i posted on my diy website!
costs next to nothing to make and easy, needs no power just 
soldering. Making it backlit is again very easy.
I`ve made 2 of them for less than 20pounds, so if doepfer want to 
sell them they have to be very cheap or offer something special for 
me to buy.
