- randofo commented on randofo's instructable Hacking a USB Keyboard10 days agoView Instructable »
That is not really a problem solved by this Instructable. The way I think you would want to do it is to plug it into a Raspberry Pi, and have it run a script which reads out loud the keypresses using pre-recorded audio. And then, the script (pretends to be a keyboard) and exports a keystroke command on to the next computer (assuming you ultimately want to show this on a computer screen).You could also take a similar approach with an Arduino, but it may be a little trickier and require some additional hardware.

- randofo commented on randofo's instructable My First Synth13 days agoView Instructable »
The normally closed side of the switches are wired in series from one to the next. When the button is not pressed, the signal from the step sequencer is able to flow from one button the next all the way to the synth board. Thus, when you press any button, it disconnects this chain and prevents the 4017 step sequencer signal from reaching the board.Instead, when the button is pressed, the resistors on the normally open side of the switch then are able to send their signal (specific voltage) through the remaining normally closed switches to the synth. In this way, when you press any of the buttons, that is given priority (sort of). The one catch is that the buttons closer to the synth board in the series chain are given more priority, as they disconnect all of the other buttons that are w...

This is the page to come to in order to learn about contests launching. We don't know the schedule yet for the rest of the year, but we should have it pinned down and posted soon.In terms of closes contests and winners, you can see them for the time being at the bottom of this page:https://www.instructables.com/contest/We used to have a monthly author newsletter, but no one really looked at it. However, perhaps we can share them out over social media.

- randofo commented on randofo's instructable DIY Guitar Pedal4 weeks ago
A capacitor's rating is the max voltage it can handle, and not connected to how much voltage it is providing. For instance, if you have a 9V battery, your capacitor just needs to be greater than 9V.
View Instructable »1) Did you build the circuit first on a breadboard to confirm all of the components are working...?2) Yeah... that is probably the problem... that is not a stereo jack. It is a mono jack with a switch. That unfortunately won't work as a power switch. That type of jack is meant to connect / disconnect the guitar signal from the circuit. 3) See if you can bypass that jack and power the circuit directly from the battery. It should work.

- randofo commented on randofo's forum topic What kinds of contests do YOU want to see on Instructables?4 weeks ago
The first one is one that we often think about, but it is just hard for us to evaluate if people are being truthful.The second one is like every contest we run! However, I think its interesting combining / requiring the use of two disciplines in a single contest.And we already run the Spy Contest (or similar) semi-regularly. Off the top of my head, I believe the last iteration of it was something along the lines of "Secret Hiding Places"We had a Mad Science Fair a long time ago, but I would definitely like to do that one again.I was going to say there is no way we are going to run a taco contest, but the more I think about it, maybe you aren't wrong. :)
A long time ago we had a Chindogu Challenge (the art of the unusueless invention). I don't remember how that one went. I will look that up later and mull this over.
Noted. Thanks!

I'll give you some pseudo code:(Code for setting up button pins here)If(button1pressed == true){ stop motor function//This pseudo code is assuming the motor is already spinning in the opposite direction once you pressed the button to change its rotation. You want to always first stop the motor and let the energy dissipate rather than suddenly reverse direction and have that energy from the sudden direction change go back into the circuit delay a couple milliseconds//wait a few milliseconds for the motor to de-energize before engaging the motor again motor forward code}if(button2pressed == true){ stop motor function delay a couple milliseconds motor backward code}
