Mysterious Notches

My journey into embedded systems began with a critical role in enhancing a scanning monochromator, a scientific instrument designed to measure light spectra after passing through various mediums—in this case, liquids. This device processes vast arrays of spectral data by computing logarithms of light intensity readings, where the speed of computation directly influences the turnaround …

The Embedded Synth

The Challenge To design a tactile synthesiser similar to the analogue type from the 1980s, but using a digital engine. The Hardware The synthesiser needs a control surface made of faders and switches, much like the Roland SH101. This would be looked after by a Teensy module as it has a complementary I2S audio board. …
