+# DDS 01  
+
+Simple tones
+
+We are going to work our way to something that works incrementally.
+Mostly, because this is how I learn and I find that if I have to go back to relearn things....its just easier that way.
+
+Start out with a simple sketch that works with TWO timers.  T4 and T5.
+
+One is going pretty fast, and is our DDS ( Direct Digital Synthesis) timer.
+Its a 32 bit counter that you shift by 24 bits and use the last 8 bits as an index into your wave table.
+
+The other timer does nothing.
+
+If successful, you should be hearing a tone on the dac pin and a squarewave
+on the other outside of audio, but enough to verify the timing of the interrupt.
