Stripboard Drawdio

drawdio

When we posted about the Drawdio release, mentioned how simple the circuit was and that we wouldn’t be surprised if people adapted it. [Dylski] decided to build it using stripboard and parts he had laying around. He shows how he laid it out on paper so that it would fit on a 29×5 piece. It took some planning, but the end result is a perfectly functional as you can see in the video below.

That has to be the most annoying pencil conceived by man. I would like to purchase these and give them to my friends’ kids.

It’s a great idea and it’d be completely fascinating for 15 minutes, but then I think I’d want to shoot myself in the face. :-) A very neat concept though.

Very cool. Now I can relax on my breakdown of drawdio and copy this. U all should incorporate the pencil lead pictures with conductive ink dots, it sounds much cleaner and u can make little tunes with it.

That’s actually really cool. It always amazes me how people are still figuring out novel uses for the 555 noisemaker all these years later. I bet these are manufactured and sold in Spencers and trucks stops everywhere before too long.
