OK, just for you I'll refund all the money you paid for it.

Yes, this was intentional.  I was not (and still am not) convinced that the
OP fully understood what could be done in analog.  My main point was how
simple it would be, making it perhaps worthwhile to investigate whether
analog might not be workable after all.

My dead fish is on vacation, so I had no way of arriving at component
values.

I thought I'd elaborate on the small chance that the response to my post
wasn't a snippy comment, as this OP has a history of doing.  He has
demonstrated on a number of occasions that spending significant time up
front is a waste of time.

Wow, after all that still a passing grade for execution!?  Surely this
proves the point about grade inflation and the sorry state of our education
system.
