Things I've Built

RaspberryShake

Bought myself the RaspberryShake, a professional level seismic system. I've got to get it set up so people don't think my house is an Earthquake zone.

Reverb pedals

Built a set of Ray Ring's echo/reverb pedals, for my son, grandson and a friend.

Digital handpan

Built Joel_E_B's digital handspan for my son, using Teensy 3.2 and Teensy audio board.

Third computer

Built myself a CP/M computer in 1976. Taught myself Pascal and assembly programming on the Z80 and later on DEC computers.

Seismic security

Designed seismic security system, but never fully realized its potential. Inadequate hardware in the 80s.

Triggering a seismic thumper truck

Designed and built radio link from seismic recorder to trigger thumper truck. It would start the recorder and trigger the thumper to start thumping.

First computer.

Designed and built MK5065 computer from chips in 1971. Eight bit machine with 3 sets of registers to accommodate very rapid interrupt switching.
