... and here are mine:-

Firstly I agree with Peter and various others earlier in the thread -
keep it simple, so that the new module is complemented by existing
modules, to allow greatest flexibility without becoming overly
complicated. For example, if control of direction was a simple
digital high=backwards/low=forwards (say) input, then adding a A160
clock-divider into the equation will give required switching for a
pendulum mode. Use a 163 VC Freq Divider instead gives even more fun
possibilities - the mind just boggles (and I get the impression that
list members are *really* taken with the idea of this possible new
module...)

As for Dieter's info...

... that the 4051 control pins are so accessible may have sold him
another module - might just go out and buy one to see what's possible!

P.S. for Peter:

> prototype of my own at home. I used an ADC 0804 chip, which

- are you sure this number is right - had a quick look at Analog Dev.
site and couldn't find it Is it just a mere 4 bits, or more like 8
or 10 and your're just using the top 4
