DIY electronics looks so much more right when labelled with DYMO. I made a very simple buffered multiples module from a couple of TL072 op-amps. #eurorackdiy #electronics
I’ve been quiet about the Oblique Easel project for a little while. It got really frustrating. I was trying to get its Raspberry Pi-hearted ass to output to this cheap audio DAC so I could level shift the high res results into control voltages (or audio, as required). After trying a bunch, I realized that the audio codec chip had its numbers etched off. I tried it on my Mac. It couldn’t see the device at all.
What happened here is that I’m trying to jump over my minimum viable I/O scheme into a GOOD I/O scheme. That is not good prototyping protocol! I thought I saw a shortcut and got derailed for weeks.
So I’m going to fall back to the two built-in audio outputs and do all control voltages through the Oblique Palette I/O module’s Arduino heart. I’m even going to use PWM output through a capacitor lopass to get a “steady” control voltage. It won’t be a lot of channels, and there will be all kinds of artifacts, but I don’t see anything between Now and Working except audio in, which might be a matter of a stereo USB car audio in.
The step after that is to build it on top of a USB 3 hub that provides all power and data through one cable between the Easel and the Palette.
And then I’ll be able to program sounds that can be played within a Eurorack system and generate control voltages that speak with it.
And do all my weird experimental programming graphically with #plugdata.

Moved my soldering stuff to an upstairs bedroom today, with a work table set up for it. Very exciting!
Kid whose bedroom it is gave the ok as they are away at uni. I showed her a pic and she said slayy
#wmdlegion from WMD can do so much more, butI just love ❤️ the supersaw sounds.

I got a bigger table plate for my synths corner and a proper book shelf.

I reconfigured my #droidcvprocessor patch to integrate the S10 controller (10 switches, in the left corner) from „Der Mann mit der Maschine“. Seems to work quite well.

I modified my bass voice by adding a second slightly detuned OSC and changed the filter to a Doepfer A-120 VCF1. This was the start of this jam:

I don’t find time to make longer videos at the moment, so it’s just this short loop.

Finally done with my MI Module Tester clone. It powers up, it's calibrated, and now to have some fun testing what I built yesterday, the Zlob Modular vnicursal VCA.
Thanks to everyone today who talked me back to calm rational thought. 😂
#eurorackdiy #synthdiy #electronics
Tidied up the workbench and now I can put one build on hold and start the next! I gathered all the parts for it and it's ready to go when I am. It will be the Zlob VnIcursal 6 VCA module, which I sorely need at the moment as I have no mixer in my eurorack. (waiting on backordered parts for the ST Modular Knead module, story of my life)
Am I the only one who has a problem with starting a new build before finishing the current one? I just can't do it.
I'm waiting on two parts for the module tester, but meanwhile I could be building something else... I just can't get motivated until this one is finished and I can see it's working... lol
It's probably a me thing...
Morning progress! I got my bussboard fully working and installed it along with the PSU in my 3D printed case.
Dropped in what modules I have completed so far and powered them all up. :)
No smoke, all lights good, I call it a success.

Here's a little helpful capacitor codes chart that I found useful as I was ordering the many caps I needed for my #eurorackdiy #synthdiy

My end of year gift to all of us beginners who don't have this all memorized! :ablobcatwave:
"Les quatres saisons electroniques"
Looks and sounds like a Roland System 100M #synth in a 191J chassis. It is my tribute (prototype #2) with twice the modules, using Behringer 100 series modules. I fabricated the bottom row, side panels and innards.

I'm learning how to use my oscilloscope this morning. Finishing calibration of the sine wave shape.
Would have been a lot easier than using my DAW tuner yesterday lol. :blobcatthink:
Figuring out how to properly connect the probe to the output was key. And also figuring out how to display measurements on the scope.
Steps in the journey.
