My Name is Nick Johnson from Arachnid Labs, and I'd like to introduce you to the
Tsunami.

The Tsunami is an Arduino-compatible development board with a Direct Digital
Synthesis chip onboard. This makes it an incredibly versatile signal generator
and frequency counter, and makes a plethora of other tasks possible too.

Direct Digital Synthesis is a way of generating analog waveforms, like sine
and triangle waves, directly from digital data. We've combined a versatile DDS
chip with the power, flexibility, and ease of use of the Arduino IDE to make the
Tsunami the most versatile board we can.

We've also given the Tsunami a high quality analog front end, allowing it to
output signals between 3 and minus 3 volts and versatile input circuitry to allow
measuring the amplitude, frequency, and phase of high speed signals. Finally,
we've spared no expense to equip the Tsunami with an incredibly precise temperature
compensated oscillator so it can be used to generate and measure signals with as
much accuracy as possible.

Aside from signal generation and measurement, you can also use the Tsunami for
a lot more, including encoding and decoding data for audio or radio transmission,
measuring capacitors, inductors, and other components, and testing audio equipment.

We've been working on perfecting the Tsunami for months now, and it's finally
ready for the limelight. Our prototypes are fully functional, and we've got
manufacturing partners ready to go.

Arachnid Labs has already successfully funded and delivered one Kickstarter, so
we know what we're in for, and we know we can deliver. All we need to make the
Tsunami into a finished product is your support and funding. "Sine" up today!
