It's that time of year again!
As stated in my retrospective last year, my goal this year is to draw a narrative with my progress. Despite having almost a year to think about it, I haven't come up with any ideas, so I guess I'll be figuring it out as I go.
As usual, you can find other peoples' adventures at
https://eli.li/december-adventure#section, and the #DecemberAdventure tag on various
social media platforms.
This year, my project is:
While the original idea was to make an ondes Martenot, upon further consideration, I think it would be much funnier to make the worlds first digital superbone (because someone else already made the first trombone).
Day 1
I made a basic demo to take to Hackaday Supercon, but after a month of travelling with it in my backpack, the part that made sound broke. I remade it on a breadboard to try to substitute parts until I can get the perfboard version working again.
Turned out to be the amp. Not totally sure what broke, and it took two replacements for things to start working again. Situations like this make me value the ability to just bang your head against a problem and do the same thing over and over again until it works.
The demo works now, but every now and then, the CAN bus on the sender just stops working.
Also, just a heads-up, I'm probably gonna edit past entries this year in pursuit of my goal of building a narrative through line.
