Thanks for taking the time to create a video @Martijn & posting it up here👍🏼
The imagery generated by the Snow & seen by patching its various outputs looks great ![]()
I’m really excited to put it to use once I’ve built it. Where’s the BOM! ![]()
Let the (quest of the) sourcing of the various components to fulfill the BOM begin ![]()
Dungeon explored & treasure found ![]()
the new pcbs have arrived.
I’ll test them and open an Order thread here !
ok they are tested and ready.
There are a few BOM changes , I’ll post them soon!
r34, r35, r37, r38 are now 20k, for a better pot range.
the updated BOM and schematics are posted on my site
note: it is a good idea to socket the noise transistors (2n3904 or 2n2222) because there can be a lot of difference visually & the DC offset can be too much.
2n3904 has different results as the 2n2222 as well, so it might be fun to change them and test all possibilities ![]()
SNOW standalone test
I just tested SNOW directly on a CRT monitor with a monojack to RCA converter plug.
It works good. the snow image looks more fuzzy (which is actually very pretty)
a few remarks:
-the offset potmeters only do something when you use the comparator output (I think the offset is cut from the signal at the CRT input?)
-the comparator output does not go fully white (snowstorm) so you might have to change some capacitor & resistor values
The comparator output has some difference . it can go from dots to lines at some settings.
at extreme settings the lines get a harsher look.
so those are new features!
I thik I’m going to nee to buy one if it can be used as a standalone now! This is the kinda generato I really wanted
