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
