Great projects!
I got an Arduino recently and it’s the best £6 I’ve spent in ages. My pet project is building a synth driven from the midi output of my keyboard.
As a software person, “real” electronics felt hard to grok. The Arduino has been a dream. You have to learn loads along the way. How do I get audio out? Oh right, what’s PWM? Oh ok, how do these timer things work? But it’s soooo satisfying.
Highly recommended!
- camtarn 9y agoWould love to read more about that synth project. I'm just embarking on a similar project myself, using a little Cypress PSoC that a friend gave me. I'd like to make something glitchy and lo-fi - halfway between a Monotron Duo and an Atari Punk Console.
- JaggedNZ 9y agoCheckout https://github.com/BleepLabs/Nebulophone https://github.com/BleepLabs/Nebulophone It's not to hard to build and not a bad place to start. The code could be better, some variables are poorly named and has some minor bugs (off-by-one on the wave table lookup?). I did start to clean it up but never got to submitting a pull request before moving onto other projects.
