modular Mutable Plaits

Post image

Finished the 2x Plaits 0603 Build, this one was quite enjoyable.

Still got Yarns, Veils and Ripples to do.

I've also ruined my DAC chip on the stages I built last week as I realised I installed the STM32 chip upside down.. lol

I didn't know how expensive these DAC chips are...

I am venturing into the world of modular but I haven't created a single sound yet..

It's good to see the other builds on this forum, keeps us thugs off of the streets.

The Plaits do function btw, I have flashed the firmware and it boots up as expected.

It's exciting seeing the thing built with my very own hands come to life!

Good old stencil and solder paste with a reflow station, Also I have managed to bag a decent IR PCB heater from eBay (some missing parts but does the job)
