I`ve decided to start selling these on ebay to raise some money for parts. Here`s a link to the current auction and here`s a photo of the current model: Switchgate is a simple dual gate based on a 556 in monostable mode (with trigger input), with the monostables triggering two switches. The monostable outputs are also accessible via their own

Some recent research led me to another conglomeration of circuit snippets, which I`m currently calling the PO-555N (Phoenix Oscillator, 555 based, N for nasty ). The square-to-saw (which you may recognize from the 566 osc) and the saw-to-triangle bits are tweaked versions of circuits found at the Experimentalists Anonymous archives. This one has a much wider range- from LFO rates to high audio rates- and also adds more waveshaping options. Like the previous 566 osc, this one is not compatible with any modular synth standards (such as 1V/oct CV response), but the pitch/rate can be modulated via CV input. This one also adds a fine-tuning knob. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here.

Towards the end (after 2:00-ish), you can also hear the tri glitch feature, which is simply positive feedback through a capacitor on the saw-to-triangle side of the op amp, a little something I came across while messing around. This will be replacing the APC oscillator in Phoenix, which was just there as a placeholder because I wanted more sound sources right away. I`m also going to be reconfiguring the front panel so...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
