after 20 minutes ceaseless drawing on a post it pad I came up with a cool little add on
for the nintendetar board

go here for stripboard layout and sound samples

Just went and checked out the demo. Very cool. ESPECIALLY about a min or so in when you've got two of them mixed. Doom city.

(edit for bad spellingz)

cheers dude, the last bit wasn't as much a demonstration as it was me getting bored haha

I would really love anyone who has built a nintendetar to post a picture in this thread too!

Hi Paul, I posted on your blog but thought I would here too, share the info and all. I am wondering if it is possible to make this mod footswitchable?? I am thinking yes, but dont have my build doc yet. I think essentially you would just take that one line running from the 470 pad on the PCB, and use a SPDT footswitch (I would likely actually use a 2pdt to add LED) to switch between the pot and the oscillator board right. (Forgive me if this is super obvious, I am running on about 8 hours sleep in the last 3-4 days, work is trying hard to kill me).

you don't need to make it foot switchable (though you can do) the first half of the depth pot on the daughter board is dedicated to the PWM range as it was without the oscillator then it will turn on - I wanted it to be something people can add without having to put as many switches and stuff in any enclosures they've made up.

also I'm pretty sure any dual op-amp will do, I just have 400 LM358s to get through

@captainpeyote cheers dude, I started it for me then I thought I would just do projects for other people a long the way. this little add on is a thankyou to those who bought/buy the nintendetar

Nice!! Thanks. I am surprised you have any of these left, I have described the effect (in my shitty words, no demo no nothing) to two people so far who both were both all over it right away. So if they ever actually get their wallets out, you will have another order coming your way from me.

In THIS thread? Or on your blog (if that is possible)?

Here are the two I built. I've posted these here before, but I'm kinda proud of them :D .
