Last week I built an #antumbra ROT8 #eurorack #modularsynth sequencer. It runs on an #atmega128 microcontroller, with #opensource firmware. I purchased the PCB and Panel from Modular Addict. I've uploaded a BoM here: https://octopart.com/bom-tool/sZpItzHV

I'm really excited to start chewing on this firmware and finish the second one I am building, because any module worth owning is worth owning two of.

Putting this here for future reference… but earlier I mentioned that I had a couple of floppy drives laying around I wanted to make better use of.

Here is a possible idea: this project is more a demo, but it shows an #ATMega128 #AVR #microcontroller connected to a 16-bit #ISA bus video card.

In the junk drawer, I uncovered a 16-bit ISA floppy/IDE controller. The thinking:

- interface the ISA drive controller to a USB 2.0-enabled microcontroller (possibly ATMega32U4 or STM32F4)
- develop a firmware that detects the drives and exposes them as mass-storage devices over USB
- enclose in a case with 5V/12V PSU, removable drive dock for IDE drive.
