Several were talking about using this with a Raspberry PI board, or an ardruino for various projects..  Like a replacement for xtals in some old radios, or as a work bench signal generator, or embeded in a radio project to give it several nice VFO functions. 

This board has 3 programmable OSC. on board, and uses I2C com's withwhat ever you are going to be controlling it with.  It will run on 3.3 or 5 voltsas it has a regulator.

  Combine this with an ardruino micro and a 16x2 LCD "sheild"and you would have a nice signal gen. that you could program how ever you like it to operate.  Or a system for that new QRP circuit you have been eyeballing!
Well, have to run to work now.. so..
