[Manekinen] built a very responsive spectrum analyzer. The components at the party are what you&#8217;d expect, an ATmega8 does the hard work interpreting data from the LM324 op-amp. This build stands out because it is fast and configurable. In fact, the explanation of the calibration process is where this project shines.
