First ‘patch’ with molecule synth

Starting to try this out with something simple. The analogue into the speaker module controlled by the pressure sensor. Let’s see how it goes.

I don’t know if ‘patch’ is the right word for this though?

Considering a meeblip

Having got a taste for this kind of thing from using my Shruthi-1 I’m now considering getting a meeblip, which looks like a lot of fun too. Initially I was looking at the meeblip micro, but as it’s out of stock for now I’ve moved on to the meeblip SE.

I even checked if there was a TouchOSC template available for meeblip. There is! So if I can control it using TouchOSC I can do a lot with it.

I may have talked myself around.

Arduino experiments restart

Finally I got back to my Arduino this weekend. It took a while to get it going again, but finally it is. My real aim is to get Android and Arduino working together and I’d found a site that explains how to do it. However, once I was quite a way through I realised that it required an Arduino Mega ADK and not the older model I had.

So now I’m wondering about getting an ADK model for £60 to continue this project. Perhaps a more sensible thing would be to get some stuff done with what I’ve got first and see where I get to with that before moving on.

Not sure.

This is not really very good at all

As I was getting hold of PDAs at the weekend I remembered that I had this Stylophone Beatbox. So I put some batteries in it and got it working again.

I shouldn’t have bothered. It really wasn’t worth it at all. The sounds are awful and it’s really hard to get it to do anything very musical.

I think it’s something I need to bend

Next project

This is another kit I’ve had for ages and haven’t gotten around to, so it’s next on my list of things to make.

It’s a solar theremin kit, we’ll see how this one goes at the weekend.
