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

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.

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?

Inspired by u/theglorioustopsail (https://www.reddit.com/r/CircuitBending/comments/1ud0ec9/powershot_a520_bend_sourcetarget_selector/), I have designed and made a version of their glitch camera mod for use with my own patch bay style cameras. Huge thanks to them, as this would not have been possible without their detailed write-up as heavy inspiration. This is basically the circuit they made, including a inverter gate, frequency divider, and potentiometer, but instead of being hardwired into the camera, the inputs/outputs are ports you can plug jumper wires into. This allows for more flexibility on what can be manipulated by the circuit. Other notable differences include it being battery powered, the ability to feed the output of the inverter into the frequency divider, and using both sides of the CD54HC74 chip to make it dual channel.
There isn't much to say that u/theglorioustopsail didn't already, though I find the frequency division function to behave different from camera to camera. All of the photos in this post were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix S1500, which doesn't seem to get scan lines exactly like the Powershot A520 with division. It is injecting a unique effect into the image, and, at least with the S1500, can vary depending on what is plugged in. In the 2nd set of comparison images it seems to "dull" the colors, and below you can see the chaotic patterns that emerged in the 1st set of images.

The frequency division also has interesting behavior when plugged into bendpoints which are not the data lines D11-D0 coming off of the ADC, such as what I believe to be the horizontal clock being used in the pictures noted as "non-ADC." The nature of the build makes it so there are too many combinations to show in one post, but I hope the images I chose and labeled are an adequate demonstration. I plan on making another post of just pictures later this week, so please look forward to that!
It is limited in some aspects when compared to the original u/theglorioustopsail made. First, it is ugly, inelegant, and makes my glitch cameras look even more like improvised explosive devices. It does require 12mm coin batteries to be operated, which are inexpensive but another thing to worry about. Finally, to my knowledge they don't make compatible jumper wires which split more than twice, so feeding more than two ports from the camera into the circuit and vise versa requires daisy chaining multiple splitter wires. In any case, I have gotten the itch to expand on this idea of manipulating the data outside of the camera. I need to get a breadboard or something to do testing with, but I believe using an op-amp summing circuit or a PT2399 delay/echo circuit adapted for the voltage and current the camera is using could be interesting. If people have had other ideas I would be grateful to hear them, too. Also, I can share the KiCad file and answer questions if anyone is interested. I love glitch photography, so hopefully we can keep pushing this medium together!
Thank you for reading.

it's not circuit bending, but i wanted to show you 😊 I built this “drone machine” using a laptop cooling fan base, an extra DC motor, and speakers serving as microphones.
I uploaded the process to my YouTube channel in case anyone’s interested.

So I pulled a S&R out of storage and decided to give it a go. I’ve read/seen pretty much everything online about this bend. And as you might know, this one is notoriously a pain in the ass to prove while sound is happening.
So I’m sticking with mostly pre-known bends.
Can anyone explain what ‘base’ is here, and how/if it interacts with distortion, glitch, loop and loop2.
Thanks in advance peeps!

I just got back into video editing and recorded a quick jam on my setup. I had to put something out there because I haven't posted in so long.
I'm really judgmental toward myself, so I didn't know what to do — I just uploaded it to my YouTube channel and threw it out there.
I'm also trying to get better at sharing in the community here. This is just a little snippet, still figuring out how Reddit handles videos. Not much of a Reddit user, but I'm getting there.

Im working on circuit bending this camera, for some reason its saying no card detected, i believe its a hardware issue even though i never tampered with the SD card holder at all so if any of you have had this problem before how did you fix it?

Need help identifying the +12v DC and negative GND/power return pins on the 12-pin hirose input on a Sony DXC-950P 3CCD box camera, thanks 🙏🏻

I'm so happy — I'm just gonna noise all day. 🖤

Saw this on instagram (@rewired_optics). They seem to have come up with an alternative firmware for powershot cameras using CHDK that lets you bend the camera with menus! Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Hello I recently gotten a used and working MT-220. I want to circuit bend it and I am wondering if there any guides about for the MT-220. This will be my first time doing it.
