Introduction: The electronics of this project was made a long time ago, after I have built several motion controllers with Arduino and stepper motors with different results. Most of them were simple one potentiometer kind of controller to allow movement in both directions, but soon this became too simple and hard replicate. I found this little company which made some motion controllers and offered a Kit to make a sma
Introduction: The Pl2 or “PI L Squared” it´s a tiny synth developed by the Ploytec team at Berlin. I was fascinated by their tiny synth when it came out because it had quite a distinctive 8 bit retro sound and I always have been a fan of this nostalgic sound…For me the main interest in this device came from the fact that is tiny and can be powered from either MIDI or USB depending in their versions,
I started using the Arduino Pro mini long time ago. Due to it´s small size it´s ideal for finished projects so you can easily install it inside any enclosure or project. The power consumption is very low aswell and the onboard bundled options makes it for me the perfect candidate as a “brain” in many projects. Nowadays you can find them for 2€ or less, which is incredible but truth. The new ones have even
The Auduino is a cool little project that is perfect as the first sound experiment with Arduino. It´s simplicity doesn´t make it boring at all and it´s capable of a wide variety of sounds. It uses granular synthesis, which basically is a synthesis method that uses little sound particles or “grains” to generate complex waveforms. As soon as I did some LED Blinking madness and a few Hello World!… I wa
