LED Blinky Guitar
LEDs in a ‘Squire II’ #electricguitar triggered by a magnetometer that detects movement like a compass. #🎸 Originally used a circuit my dad made me to play with in 89 at 6yo.

Live Vocal Reverb Box
#diy #delay #effects for homie @isthevatican to spit drama through on our upcoming #psychedelicmusic with stereo xlr and an effects loop/di to preamp his other effects too! It’s basically a premade ebay board for a chip commonly used in karaoke machines, crammed in a box that a Sony ActionCam was sold in.
Homemade Compass

Learned a lot about setting something aside and coming back to it, because we did not know how to use a #magnetometer to hilarious folly. also a lesson in perseverance. so amazing to be able to make something with an #oled display, although admittedly not on that samsung…
