Thanks, I'll keep this in mind.
I like it as is, but I feel it could be a little better, so I'll do some=20
testing. Being able to examine the note in more detail is one of the=20
aims of the more expensive tuners, so one can check/adjust an=20
instruments intonation. After all, the harmonics are what gives each=20
instrument it's distinct sound.
However, I was thinking in it's present form it makes a nice simple=20
beginners project (just ported to PIC) so not sure how much I would want=20
to complicate things. Mind you, adding a few extra LEDs or whatever is=20
not a big deal. Time allowing, I'll see what I come up with..
