This bash script is a taster for a kids level, audio, text mode, sweep generator. The code just creates a single cycle of a quantised sine curve inside an 80 x 24 bash terminal. This will be the calculator for a sinewave sweep generator from about 50Hz the 12KHz... The code tells you more and the display is in comments at the end...

A DEMO purely as a calculator for a, bash, audio sine wave sweep generator under development. It might also be of use to students to show how to display curves in text mode.
CygWin does not have 'bc' by default so the line with 'bc' inside is commented out and the line with 'awk' added; nothing more sinister than that... ;o)
It now works on CygWin too... ;o)
Enjoy...

Code changed to include CygWin as CygWin does not have the 'bc' command by default...
