Circuit Bending Project

My toy had push-buttons with a voice that stated when the user rhymed two pictures that were on the buttons. My circuit bending project worked until the very last day of working in the art department.

I had two circuit bends in place. The first made the voice slow down and talk really low. It was like having a baritone teach a kindergarden class. The second bend produced fuzz and made the volume louder simultaneously. On the final day I tried to do a third circuit bend but I saudered parts of the original chip together and I think that caused the whole thing to short out. I was able to get fuzz when I hooked the speaker directly to the battery, but unless the wires were moving across the surface, there was silence.

I tried to throw together a second project from a toy that Laurissa gave me. The only thing that I was able to do was exchange the speakers from a tiny, hardly-audible sound-maker to something that was lauder and made even more obnoxious car sounds. It looks like a tangle of wires, but I may still be able to do something with it. I'll see what I can do in the time that I have.
