Measure turns the audio input into a generic input over a certain voltage range with essentially 0 current. Would it be possible to do the same for the audio output? This could run simple robotics, or allow switching between sensors.

line voltage

Never minding the fact that all round (non-USB) ports should tolerate line voltage, how might one make a safe connection? This is useful for showing line frequency and for showing the waveform. Waveforms from UPSes might be particularly interesting. Not being an EE, I can think of a few ideas: transformer, capacitor, resistor. Each of those can be done nicely, with proper electronic parts, or crudely with makeshift parts. 24.110.144.116 00:42, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

What about the reverse?
