Digital Sampling Oscilloscope Interface - CH Ting
"Inspired by the iPod user interface, I'd like to improve the DSO interface on my GameBoy Advance by using more pull-down menus, employ less keys, and make the operation more intuitive. In my old design, I often forgot which keys to push after leaving it for a few days."

    Topics:
  • Chinese Hymns
  • The Passion according to St. Matthew, Bach, Gibson, and Ting
