INTRODUCTION
Funnel is a toolkit for physical computing. Funnel supports 
Arduino I/O boards and Gainer I/O modules. The user can set 
filters to input or outputs ports: range division, filtering 
(e.g. LPF, HPF), scaling and oscillators.
Details, future plans are described at the following location, 
but are subject to change.
