Running all the LEDs is way beyond what the boost regulator can handle. Need to find a replacement if I want to run them all at once.

The display is creating a lot of digital noise on the supply that really messes up the tuner analog circuit. Moving the display to the battery supply fixed it, but probably better just to run the analog stuff off it's own linear supply.

Also, just got my very own Hantek scope. Seems to be quite nice so far, but I'm doing pretty basic stuff.

Going old school with the analog board. I'm building it on perf board, a' la' the way I was taught back at EVI in the 80's. I can probably build my own Arduino prototyping shield as well.
