A bit of fun with sound and structures One of the assignments in my design studio class this semester was to develop a single-person-scale enclosure of some sort. I’ve been kinda interested in sound ever since I started that portable synth projects, so I decided to pursue something in that area. Background and Concept The …
17 November 2020 Update The boards are here, and they look awesome! Let’s start soldering. Power Supply First I always start with the power supply section first (as should you) so I can make sure all the voltages being delivered around the board are correct. This is to avoid potentially damaging the microcontrollers and other …
Funky fresh tech 20 October 2020 Update So it’s been a while… I got a little busy with school for a couple of months but my schedule has lightened up a little so I’m hoping I can jump right back in. The functional prototype from the last two parts served its purpose in helping me …
Let’s get this party started This page focuses on the physical hardware and software development of my first working prototype of this Teensy-based synthesizer. If you want to know more about the specifics of the device I’m developing here and the design process up until now, check out Part 1 of this project! 8 August …
(Eventually) Open Source! This project will be a little different than the other ones on this site, because I expect this to be an ongoing, experiment-driven exploration rather than a more directed build like I usually do. On this page, I’ll keep track of the progress of the development of this device from an idea …

Buckle up, this is a big one You’ve probably heard of the video game PONG If you haven’t noticed from my other projects, I’m a big fan of CNC-type machines. Naturally, I thought it would be pretty cool to make a CNC version of this video game classic. I imagined it like this: two players …
