So yesterday i posted about the alphabet zoo toy i bent, gave you a nice little story about where it came from, now im gonna show you its guts.
Im not really sure how any of my toys actually work, but i just try stuff i know works and every once in a while, i find something cool.
Check it out!
|
notice the trimpot. It keeps the toy from crashing when you turn the pot all the way down.
also check out that resistor, i heard somewhere that adding them in certain spots will make your circuit more stable
i dont remember how though...... |
|
The pitch resistor! |
|
Sometimes you gotta snip the battery wires and extend them
That way you can still have power! |
|
Lots of folks will put a switch in here, i dont usually. I bet they work better for making music if you do.... |
|
i always forget how to wire these things! In the pic below,
you can see the red wire is on the negative and the black is on the positive. The color of the wires is irrelevant. |
|
If i ever decide to paint this, ill need to wash it well first. |
