== Measure/Oscilloscope ==

Great ideas on the Measure/Oscilloscope page! Keep them coming...Also feel free to add suggestions on the discussion page of Measure for features you'd like to see in the Activity. Also, I am trying to collect interesting science experiments that can be done around the XO. Let me know of any ideas/thoughts. Thanks!--[[User:Arjs|Arjs]] 14:36, 1 January 2008 (EST)

:Ive added a lot of pics on how to build a temperature sensor probe and how to do some measurement stuff. It'd be great if you could let me know some feedback or try them out etc. thanks. --[[User:Arjs|Arjs]] 15:11, 14 January 2008 (EST)

I've looked at some of the stuff you are posting on Talk:Measure and I think it's very interesting. I'd suggest you consider creating new pages for some of this instead of just shoe-horning it into the talk page, where it gets a bit lost in the scroll. It may be conservative wikipedia habits transferring over, but I think you'll find that around the OLPC wiki there is much more openness to new page creation. I think some of the stuff you're doing merits Measure/sub-pages and talk pages all of it's own (e.g. Measure/Speaker or whatever), instead of just deeper and deeper indents on Talk:Measure. Just my opinion, you're certainly free to continue posting over there, but perhaps you shouldn't restrict yourself to talk pages when you are clearly developing fully formed ideas/projects.

:Fair enough, since I raised the structure issue, I'll craft a proposal for restructuring and post it to Talk:Measure or maybe [[Measure#Proposed_re-organization_of_this_page]] for consideration by those of you that are doing all the cool stuff. Looking at current [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=Measure&namespace=0| structure], I'm thinking short, bushy branching e.g. Measure/Projects (index only section) on Measure, Measure/Projects stays, but becomes more a short ideas section collector/incubator, Measure/Oscilliscope, Measure/Speaker, Measure/''Widget1'', etc. graduate to become immediate branches indexed on Measure.

::Lots and lots of interesting suggestions. Many thanks to WvBaily and cjl. I've been overwhelmed with other work to get a chance to look at these.

== Image upload ==

Just uploaded two images successfully, a third doesn't look like I think it should, but I put that down to my newness with Inkscape, not wiki.

== Re organizing Measure pages ==

I've begun a rough effort [[Measure/New_temp|here]] . I'd welcome inputs and help. I am thinking that once we've migrated all of the stuff here, we can replace the main Measure page with this scratch-pad in making. Thanks --[[User:Arjs|Arjs]] 08:37, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

In the diagram you posted showing the audio input jacks, you included a comment about needing 100K series resistors. There is already a series resistor on the PCB for that input. And using a 100K will throw off the frequency response...
