Circuit bending with basic stamp as a sequencer

salvador

·Has anyone interested in Circuit bending used the basic stamp to control a bent instrument(s)
I believe the digital resistor could be used, along with some basic on and off control messages to manipulate
the instrument·and make basic sequences. However, I am afraid of·damaging my basic stamp kit.· Has anyone attemped this---Circuit bending with basic stamp.

2) What do you mean by "circuit bending"? Are you referring to controlling some kind of electronic musical instrument using a force sensitive resistor?

Mike,

I had to google it myself, I had never heard of the "official" term...

"Circuit Bending" ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_bending


salvador,

As far as an answer, I'm sure it's been done. ... i.e. You-tube videos of singing symphony stepper motors from old printers and disk drives, etc. etc., etc...

As long as you exercise proper protection to each of the Stamp I/O's you could essentially cause anything to make a 'sound' with the right amount of voltage/current persuasion... without causing harm to the Stamp. The device that has just become audible however might have a different perspective on the matter.
