This project is a great solder practice for beginners. The layout is variable and I can only recommend this eyecandy. It uses blinking LEDs. You can buy them on ebayand AliExpress with different blinking frequencies and in various colors and sizes.
Part 1: module explanation Disclaimer: this is not a dedicated beginner module but I used it to explain my faceplate workflow. So I’ll put it also in the beginner section. I learned about ducking some weeks ago and checked out some different builds that make it possible. This is also my first hagiwo build using […]
I searched for a VU meter build to be able to check signals for their level. This is nothing fancy really. It basically shows the voltage of the signal. Between every diode you have a drop of approximately 0.7V so you can take that as a rule of thumb. I usually use this if I […]
I’m sure you’ve seen those modules on amazon or ebay ot AliExpress before and yes you can use them to build a lofi delay.
I had a couple of PT2399 ICs lying around for the last year and never found a schematic or layout I wanted to try. Since I’ve never worked with that IC I didn’t want it to be too complex right away. Now last week I found something I wanted to try and I think it’s […]
I’ve had a couple of super cheap speakers from ISD1830 PCBs I wasn’t using so I though I’m gonna try something I read about (don’t ask me where tho). I connect it to a jacksocket and use it as a lo-fi microphone. Using my modular as a preamp it worked fine. It sounds pretty much […]
I guess for beginners it is interesting what tools and materials are most frequently used. I cannot speak for anyone but myself but these are the types of products I use in almost any build. Disclaimer: there are no products linked and I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to make any […]
A long time ago I found out that patchpals are a thing and easy to build. They are basically some jacks or sockets and a couple of components . Some wrap them in shrinkwrap afterwards but I usually don’t because I never came around buying so gigantic shrinkwrap. I tried different designs and will make […]
I found this schematic on this channel on YT. The video got me and the build is super easy and useful for several purposes. Nevermind the little patchpal I built as indicator led wherever it is needed.
This FUZZ effect ist the easiest you can build and it sounds okay. I added an input attenuator to bring the signal level down and replaced the trimmer with another pot for the output level. In hindsight I’d probably remove the output attenuator. Also an opamp gain stage get the signal level back up would […]
