/ Build Your Own Digital Music Synthesizer //

This workshop makes a badge add on that makes music! It uses a custom PCB, a BluePill microcontroller, an LED ring, a cheap amplifier board, a resistor and a capacitor for an RC circuit, a small speaker, a battery holder, a headphone jack, and a bunch of buttons and two diodes for power protection for batteries. It will run with or without the Supercon badge, but when attached to the badge it will provide a Y channel signal that can show what is currently synthesized...
