> Does anyone have a block diagram of the ( voltage ? ) > reading-to-audio-tone electronics ? Taking that almost unbelievable question at face value. 1. Draw rectangle Label rectangle "VCO" Add input - label Vin. Add output - label Fout QED. or 2. Use CD4046 block diagram. Essentially as above with a few support components thrown in to set frequency per Volt etc. http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/cd4046b.pdf 3. For extra points add a simple differential amplifier which amplifies the small voltage beteen its probes to a level that best suits the 4046.
