Re: Nose Ring

2004-12-17 by grantrichter2001

There is a silkscreen layout in the manual. If you feel comfortable 
working with surface mount electronics, you can put a switch in 
series with D6. With D6 disconnected, you can use the "Clock 
Out" jack as a "Clock In" for a 0 to 10 volt square wave. The 
pattern advances on the raising edge.

The "Master Clock" program I wrote for the PSIM was intended to 
provide MIDI and DIN clock out using the Noise Ring as the 
master. But I never figured out how to use the timer interupts to 
measure the tempo of the square wave from the Noise Ring.
