In working with analog signals, and especially while dealing with signals from score sensors which are greater than 100%, it is often useful to be able to divide the signal. RTM has a wonderful write-up about how to do this in his blog post on division and scaling. But he doesn't talk at all about the dirty little secret of timers, so I was unprepared.

As I was just recently experimenting with large values, I was making heavy use of my logic probe. And to be able to reasonably ...

Exploring Analog to Digital Conversion

Someone posted a question in the LBP2 Help! section asking for advice on simplifying the analog to digital conversion (ADC) they use. Analog to digital conversion is used to take an analog signal from the wire, and convert it into a digital representation of the signal, suitable for binary calculations.

The way to do this in LBP2 is to use a sequencer set to positional input, and cover the upper half with a battery. This tells ...
