This month we look further into house wiring and the pros/cons of being able to do it yourself. Also an indepth look at the new Agilent MS07034A Mixed Signal Scope, this unit is truly a dream unit, with a huge range of features and high accuracy. This month we also look into the new PICAXE micros that are available. New 8 pin, 14 pin and 20 pin versions are all covered in detail here.

This month’s projects include the second part of the new DSP Musicolour Light Show kit, this unit will become the life of your party, with a huge range of programmable features, ideal for discos, fashion shows, product demonstrations etc. Secondly, a new PIC-Based Musical Tuning Aid project , this unit can produce any note in the tempered musical scale in any of the eight most commonly used octaves. Ideal for tuning guitars, pianos and other musical instruments. Also this month a microphone pre-amp for PC's and MP3 players, this unit allows you to connect a microphone to your pc for accurate sound recording, without the clipping and feedback, that is often present. Finally a bridge adaptor for stereo power amplifiers.
