Re: [TCML] Spark gap
Yes, recording could work also. I think that's been done before. It's
also easy to use a small microphone to drive a photo transmitter. My
basic desire is to pump directly into the scope software. Today I
ordered up 10 meters of cable and also a couple photo to voltage
converters (simple 3 pin component). Pins are power, ground, and output
voltage directly proportional to light intensity. This will help keep
circuitry minimum.

Easy enough to use a remote microphone or just record and playback the
sound, if you're worried about hurting digital equipment. Or just stand back.
Heck, last time I ran my SISG coil I could hear the roar of the secondary
arcs echoing off the houses around the corner 100 yards away. So reflections and
false triggers from them might be a concern.
