Hey Chub -
Brice has a simple circuit to put the thing into demo mode with two
AA batteries. That's the setup I used to record the sample. He has
another circuit that's only slightly more complicated to interface
the chip to a computer via serial. I'm gonna build this one, too,
then start with Brice's software to control the chip directly.
It will also be interfaced to the PSIM for even more fun...
Check out Brice's site (www.synthmodules.com) for more info and the
user manual. It's only twenty five bucks!
