Additional notes
Having an oscilloscope available is always handy when working with sensors. We may want to extend Measure to support sensors made available through Arduino, WeGo, etc.

Other robots suggested
To make the 11.2.0 "cut", these need to see someone committed to get it supported in a couple of activities. Or to be moved to a "possible future projects" section in the Robotics page.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decode audio tone | [5] | Use frequency decoders eg. LM567 to control multiple outputs | ||||
| Picaxe | A low cost solution, Linux programming environment available [6] though the chip and board is cheap, the USB cable is $30 [7] | |||||
| Ti Launchpad [8] | Another low cost solution, "able to compile msp430-gcc on the xo-1.5 and use it with mspdebug to upload firmware" | |||||
