The Curious Technologist
Circuits For Fun is a maker in Orlando Florida who’s working on a digital music box:
New Digital Music Box project work in progress:
- Wind up rotary encoder with wind up clicking sound effect.
- External input for button or other trigger mechanism
- Deep sleep mode when not playing to conserve battery for many years of life on 2 AA batteries
- Can hold about 3 – 4 minutes worth of musical data
- Software controlled volume level
- Serial interface for uploading new music
- Midi to MusicBox software to convert and upload music
Check it out and let me know what you think, I might start selling these as kits soon.
