Project 1

So after numerous circuits frying, LED's popping, and many trips to the store searching for simple electronic toys, my group has finally achieved circuit bending to the fullest! Of all the circuits that we have available, the first circuit that we were able to bend came from a simple electronic birthday card. We used a light sensing resistor to change the pitch of the sound and switches to turn the circuit on and off. The next circuit we were able to alter came from an electronic toy gun. We were able to add a switch to combine two of the shooting/laser sounds. We also have a touch sensor that lights up LED's from another circuit that belonged to a toy drum. Our future "instrument" idea is to create a responsive necklace that has numerous sounds and lights. Hopefully we will have a successful jam session once this is complete
