Sequins is a custom hardware looper and step sequencer built around tactile controls, embedded audio playback, and fast pattern manipulation. The build log covers its evolution from breadboard prototype to a more expressive instrument with screens, LEDs, and a motorized fader.
C / PIC MICROCONTROLLERS / READING & DESIGNING CIRCUIT SCHEMATICS / PCB DESIGN / SOLDERING
As the first test of my understanding of basic electrical concepts and components, I designed and built a fuzz pedal from scratch, featuring a fuzz knob, a Q knob, and a volume knob. The pedal includes 'soft-switching' commonly found in high-end 'boutique' guitar pedals, via a momentary switch that toggles an internal relay via a PIC microcontroller.
