This is a very simple starter DEMO to access Arduino Diecimila Board for the
Macbook Pro 13" OSX 10.7.5...
A potentiometer is connected between 5V and Gnd with the wiper connected to
ANALOG IN 0 on the Arduino. This was adjusted to give the Ms and Ls as seen...
I now have DC in for this machine AND Linux too as on my Linux tools the device
becomes /dev/ttyUSB0 <WINK, (DC into the AudioScope here we come. ;o)>...
NOTE:- The device below is for MY machine and WILL be different for yours...
It is assumed that you have a Terminal up and running AND you have NOT
plugged in your USB Arduino Board yet...
Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...
Public Domain and you may do with it as you please...

The .PDE file for the Arduino as a test piece, this uses an early version of the
programming SW and I know it won't compile on current versions so you will have
to modify slightly as required...
