PAN PC Sound Check

A demo of the Pan PC:

I´m trying the sound posibilities of my last invention: PAN PC.

I´ve started from the very beginning: connecting the LCD and piezos to the speakers jacks of my amplifier and playing with the input miniplug. After a couple of not too pleasant electric shocks, I decided to conect the miniplug to my laptop and play some samba: sound and image Synchro!

All the audio that you hear comes from the piezos confirming the eighth rule of hardware hacking as teached by Nicolas Collins: mike as speaker, speaker as mike – the symmetry of it all.

Ya estoy probando las posibilidades sonoras de la PAN PC. Lo más básico que se me ocurrió: primero conectar la salida de los parlantes de mi equipo a las conexiones entre los piezos y el LCD y toquetear la ficha miniplug del line-in. Después de unas no muy agradables descargas eléctricas, decidí conectar el miniplug a mi laptop y poner un poco de samba. Sincro entre sonido e imagen! El audio de todo el video sale de los piezos (las chapitas doradas)! Se cumple así la octava regla (IN/OUT) del Hardware Hacking según Nicolas Collins: micrófono como parlante, parlante como micrófono: la simetría de Todo.

Note to hackers/benders: watch out for those “not too pleasant electric shocks”!

  1. I’ve got nick collins book in the mail because i’ve seen it referenced so much anyone have any other books if i like that one. I don’t have a mastery of electronics but Ghazalas book is more basic than i thought it’d be.
