As soon as I started playing with MiniDexed and found out it supported 8 tone generators, I wondered if it would be possible to build an interface to it to make it look like a Yamaha TX816 tone module. This is the first in a series of posts looking at what a TX816 is and … Continue reading MiniDexed TX816

Pico, Nano, Micro Keyboard Matrix PCB
A number of my projects have involved using a microcontroller (usually an Arduino Nano or a Raspberry Pi Pico) to decode a music keyboard matrix and take some action. This is the basis of all of my "toy keyboard" MIDI controllers for example. This board is a "helper" PCB that makes the job a little … Continue reading Pico, Nano, Micro Keyboard Matrix PCB

Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope
Having just completed my Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB Build Guide I wanted an example application. So I went back to my Arduino Tone One Year On! project which was designed to do something interesting with my very first projects in celebration of one year of my blog! At the time, I wrote: "Note it should … Continue reading Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope

Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited
A little while after my last set of experiments for a Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer I found a video from "Gadget Reboot" showing how to use the KS0835F subscriber line module from an Arduino to interface to a phone more easily. So I bought some and this is the start of a set of new experiments … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited
