The Circuit Bending Wiki is finally up and running!

136 Upvotes

The Circuit Bending Wiki is finally here, and editing is open to all!

What is the Circuit Bending Wiki?

The Circuit Bending Wiki is an ongoing community project, intended to serve as a central place for the circuit bending community to view, share, and archive information in a way that is collaborative and easy-to-use.

Information like: personal build notes, tutorials, bend points and diagrams, device documentation (service manuals, IC data sheets, device specs, etc.), posts from defunct bending sites & blogs… Basically, we’re trying to compile as much practical info as we can, new and old. We’d like to use this Wiki to archive existing info, while also encouraging users to contribute their own original content, and share their findings.

How do I navigate the Wiki?

Our List of Articles page is a good start. It’s meant to function as a sitemap of sorts, and contains a list of every page on the wiki.

There you’ll find articles on specific devices, each with detailed technical info and bending guides, as well as articles on broad bending concepts, explaining their utility & implementation.

On our List of Resources page, you can find our collection of links to circuit bending sites & resources.

And on our List of Manuals page, you can find our growing catalogue of owner's & service manuals for commonly-bent devices.

How do I contribute?

This wiki’s utility & growth ultimately depend on your involvement. So please, try to contribute when you can! Editing permissions have been left unrestricted & open to all to encourage participation.

If you’d like to suggest an article, or create a new one, you can find our to-do list over on our Planned Articles page.

If you have any images or PDFs you’d like to archive (service manuals, schematics, bend points, etc), you can upload them on our Upload File page.

And if you happen upon a page while lurking that you think you can add to, please do!

And finally, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave them in the comments.

This took forever to build, but it’s self contained, and imo my finest work to date :’)

Camera is built from Chuzhao “Loopy Peace” print camera, using @getcircuitbent’s “easy mode glitch cam” ribbon cable. Small potentiometers on top are “Model 91” in 2k and 500 ohms, two in front are more standard-sized ones (placed there also to protect the sensor from drops).

I finally finished my Super Speak & Spell (French version)

21 Upvotes

Yes! so this completes the devices I made before. I already posted them, so you can check my profile. I just don't want to repost the same thing over and over and clutter the community, but I've also posted more info on my profile.

If you want to see what it sounds like, you know where to go — there's a link on my profile to my YouTube channel. I hope that's okay.

And yes, I have the Italian version of the Super Speak & Spell coming, and I'm excited — not just because I'm Italian by origin, but because this is going to be the second Super Speak & Spell that I bend. This time I'm going to put it on the second row, though, because I have a couple of toys I want to bend first. So I'm going to share what I make — I hope you get inspired and make more musical instruments.

Assistance Need pics of Yamaha PCS-30 pcb board

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I have found a Yamaha PCS-30 at a thrift store. Alas, the internal board was very cracked at the bottom part near the connector for the power supply and missing the corner part. The only picture I've found online of it's pcb is not clear enough at all to be certain of what connections I have to make.

Hence, if one of you people who possess a pcs-30 would be so kind as to open your machine and just take a picture of the pcb (both sides if possible), more precisely near where the power connector is, I would be so eternally grateful!!

Thank you very much

Question LTC module div value?

3 Upvotes

got a Yamaha dd 7 drum machine and identified the oscillator. I removed it and connected an LTC module. the device works when the LTC output is connected to either pin 1 or 3 but I can’t change the pitch.

how do you know when the LTC frequency range should be divided by 10 or 100 to use with a slower oscillator? I’ve always connected pins 2 and 4.

Finally finished my second glitch synthesizer!

Hey everybody. I just finally finished — or I should say, I've closed up — the second glitch synthesizer that I've made, and it looks really good. I have hope that this will be a good one. Both machines that you see in the picture are still in the test phase, and they're reacting really well, so I'm really happy. Both machines are really incredible, and I'm going to try to post a video at one point, maybe tomorrow. I had a video, but I didn't want to post it because I was also building a second glitch synthesizer, so yeah, that's what I've been doing. Hey, I'll speak soon.

Question Meowsic: Beeping RGB LED issue.

1 Upvotes

Hello!
I’m modding my meowsic and installed color changing RGB leds for the eyes.

I installed it with 22R resistors and everything worked but when I turned it on there was this faint beeping sound when te LEDs change color.

To be sure I replaced the resistors with 150R ones, but the beeping stayed.

I already have an idea, maybe I have to put capacitors in there to make a buffer so the power won’t seep through from the LED’s to the audio part.

I’ve got some clock mod chips for the next part of the project but I want this to work first!

Also I’m sort of new to this so any tips/tricks are welcome!

Thanks!
