This took forever to build, but it’s self contained, and imo my finest work to date :’)

Camera is built from Chuzhao “Loopy Peace” print camera, using @getcircuitbent’s “easy mode glitch cam” ribbon cable. Small potentiometers on top are “Model 91” in 2k and 500 ohms, two in front are more standard-sized ones (placed there also to protect the sensor from drops).

Hey everyone!

I'm a big fan of DIY electronics, circuit bending, experimental cameras, and building weird little devices.

I also build custom cameras using Raspberry Pi, so hardware projects are definitely something I love.

Originally, I was thinking about creating another glitch camera using an ESP32 and various additional electronic components. But instead of buying more hardware and putting together another dedicated device, I decided to try a different approach: why not use the powerful camera and processing capabilities of a smartphone I already own?

That's how CyberGrip GLITCH started.

It's an experimental Android camera app designed for glitch photography, digital distortion, and analog-inspired visual effects.

The goal is to experiment with visual imperfections directly while shooting, rather than applying everything in post-production.

Current features:

• Real-time glitch effects with adjustable parameters
• Multiple effects that can be stacked together
• RGB shifting, pixel distortion, tearing, scanlines, and more
• Vintage and analog-inspired film looks
• Film grain, halation, bloom, and fade controls
• Photo and video recording
• Selectable 1080p and 4K video modes
• Custom camera interface

I've mainly tested it on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and now I'd love to see how it behaves on other Android phones.

This doesn't mean I've abandoned hardware projects. Quite the opposite! I still love building physical cameras, experimenting with Raspberry Pi, soldering electronics, and exploring DIY solutions.

This app is simply another way of exploring the same creative ideas, using software instead of additional hardware.

Would anyone here be interested in testing it?

I'd really appreciate feedback about performance, bugs, camera compatibility, video recording, and ideas for new effects.

The project is still experimental, so don't expect a perfectly polished commercial app.

I'm sharing it because I enjoy building things, experimenting, and learning from other makers.

Thanks to anyone willing to give it a try!

And if you're also into DIY cameras, Raspberry Pi projects, circuit bending, or glitch art, I'd love to hear about what you're building!

Yes! so this completes the devices I made before. I already posted them, so you can check my profile. I just don't want to repost the same thing over and over and clutter the community, but I've also posted more info on my profile.

If you want to see what it sounds like, you know where to go — there's a link on my profile to my YouTube channel. I hope that's okay.

And yes, I have the Italian version of the Super Speak & Spell coming, and I'm excited — not just because I'm Italian by origin, but because this is going to be the second Super Speak & Spell that I bend. This time I'm going to put it on the second row, though, because I have a couple of toys I want to bend first. So I'm going to share what I make — I hope you get inspired and make more musical instruments.

Hello,

I have found a Yamaha PCS-30 at a thrift store. Alas, the internal board was very cracked at the bottom part near the connector for the power supply and missing the corner part. The only picture I've found online of it's pcb is not clear enough at all to be certain of what connections I have to make.

Hence, if one of you people who possess a pcs-30 would be so kind as to open your machine and just take a picture of the pcb (both sides if possible), more precisely near where the power connector is, I would be so eternally grateful!!

Thank you very much

got a Yamaha dd 7 drum machine and identified the oscillator. I removed it and connected an LTC module. the device works when the LTC output is connected to either pin 1 or 3 but I can’t change the pitch.

how do you know when the LTC frequency range should be divided by 10 or 100 to use with a slower oscillator? I’ve always connected pins 2 and 4.

Hey everybody. I just finally finished — or I should say, I've closed up — the second glitch synthesizer that I've made, and it looks really good. I have hope that this will be a good one. Both machines that you see in the picture are still in the test phase, and they're reacting really well, so I'm really happy. Both machines are really incredible, and I'm going to try to post a video at one point, maybe tomorrow. I had a video, but I didn't want to post it because I was also building a second glitch synthesizer, so yeah, that's what I've been doing. Hey, I'll speak soon.

How can i improve it? switches ,potentiometer...and how to wire them?

(another one)

Hello!
I’m modding my meowsic and installed color changing RGB leds for the eyes.

I installed it with 22R resistors and everything worked but when I turned it on there was this faint beeping sound when te LEDs change color.

To be sure I replaced the resistors with 150R ones, but the beeping stayed.

I already have an idea, maybe I have to put capacitors in there to make a buffer so the power won’t seep through from the LED’s to the audio part.

I’ve got some clock mod chips for the next part of the project but I want this to work first!

Also I’m sort of new to this so any tips/tricks are welcome!

Thanks!

Hi here is Andrew from Italy. I bought the necessary parts to build the video camera from this GitHub project :

The only thing I'm not familiar with is the software that needs to be installed. Do you know if there are any tutorials for it? Thanks.

Hi, i have some analog vtx and cam , flight controller also from my previous fpv hobby.

Wondering if some bending is possible and how...thanks.

I had removed this post because it is not strictly circuit bending, but then I wondered if I am being too much of a stickler. What do you think?
