I just opened my bare bone Arduino which was delivered yesterday. I won't get to soldering it up before the weekend but looking forward to doing some experimenting with it.
Aeronotix, how is your project progressing? Have you got your LDRs yet - did you get some matched pairs?
I see the Italians (http://www.audiofaidate.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2576) are near to completing their uC based LDR preamp - this one is using unmatched LDRs like my plan whereas the DiyParadise is using matched LDRs I think, like your plan Aeronotix.
Do you have a link to the innards of their pre-amp?
