Shell scripting is great for automatising stuff thats for sure. How did you start to learn?
(First of all I am NOT a coder, I am a hobbyist coder and I do have bad habits. I am however a retired electronics engineer.)
By BRAGGING I could do something different that the shell and terminal were not designed for although I had no idea what I was talking about.
I had no idea whether my future creation would even get off of the ground but hey I said it would so take a look, this is nealy 4 years old now. Gained 5 stars here, had a magazine write up and the Admins on here have allowed it to flow - MANY THANKS GUYS. This is the site that gets the latest version FIRST, there is another but this one is always at least one week ahead.
I have thanked the big guns for their help that they in fact volunteered without me even asking and at least 50% of their help is incorporated is said script with subtle changes to suit my coding style. Only download the latest version if you want to see it but do read how this huge script has evolved over the period. I am actually having a break from it at the moment but I am removing legacy stuff to bring it into the 21st century... ;oD
Still loads to do however, getting there but it is slow now as the really difficult bits are hard to work out. One is using a counter for DC input. This is seriously difficult on ths MBP.
Chopper and VCO methods for DC input are built but Chopper mode is not coded for yet.
The Start Of A Simple Audio Scope Shell Script...
I have started some other things on here that I will get back too when this baby is finished but building hardware as well as coding for it takes mega-time to get working...
So to finish I jumped in at the deep end - literally - not knowing a thing about terminals or shells but learnt a lot by doing something so bizarre that no one has ever done before...
So don't underestimate the terminal and shell along with transient commands at your disposal. To be truthful it was the terminal and its escape codes that initiated this project as I just love doing everything in text mode...
You could say I am a minimalist... ;oD
