ModularDuino - Arduino modular synth in the works
MAKE Magazine — nitro2k01 investigates using the versatile Arduino platform for use as synthesizer modules - The idea of using my Arduino for modular synth utilities started out as a crazy idea that I’m now starting to seriously like. The pictures above shows my first design, an oscillator. (I have plans for other modules, see the bottom of this post) The left picture shows the first prototype where I tried to use PCM to produce the sound. That didn’t sound too good, so I built an 8-bit resistor ladder passive DAC. But I only hade enough of one resistor ...

Arduino-compatible prototyping board
MAKE Magazine — ... version (or Hardcopy if you will) of your project once you have perfected it on a breadboard but without the expense of embedding your original Arduino into your project. The hardcopy also makes your project more reliable and robust. With the prototyping area integrated into the board with the microprocessor, your project will have fewer boards and fewer wires, and because of that, fewer mistakes and fewer shorts. An interesting option for those who'd rather keep their Duemilanove for developing future projects. Read more | ...
