    USB Host Teensy 4.1 - Current limit

    Thanks PaulS, but (just to clarify this in my mind) are you talking about the seperate USB Host connection on the Teensy 4.1 or the actual main USB. Teensy 4.1 has two USB connections.

    Dalek Synth

    Thanks taj-ninny. The potentiometers were bought from a local store in Melbourne called Jaycar. The knobs on the end I acquired from my father along with lots of tools etc. when he died nearly 30 years ago. I don't know were he got them from, he had lots of odd stuff in his workshop. I think...

    Converted FCB1010 Drum machine for Practice with Friends - Teensy Modification

    I had already converted it to a synth during Covid lockdown for something to do. I wasn't using it, so it became a drum machine for practice with friends. Thanks for the info on the surface mount resistors.

    Converted FCB1010 Drum machine for Practice with Friends - Teensy Modification

    I play guitar with some friends, none of who are drummers. We also have to play quietly to keep the neighbours happy. So I have made a drum machine using the FCB1010 and by replacing the internal Microcontroller with a Teensy and audio board. This video shows how it works. Great for practicing...
