Eurorack DIY: Rotary dial module

- This was one of the first custom module ideas I had when I first started obsessing over modular: use an old rotary phone dial as a pulse generator! The new case had room for it, so I made one. It's not, maybe, the MOST useful module ever. But that's okay.
I love projects that combine seemingly disparate components. Thoughtfully presented, thanks for taking the time to make this.
That was SUPER DUPER RAD!!! Thanks for sharing it.. Kind of glad I kept my old one around.. If anyone needs a rotary phone for this let me know.. May have a couple..
I think I can foresee that 2000 years in the future some archaeologists will unearth a heavy duty metal ring attached to some unidentifiable object, still in decent shape to give them a riddle for a couple of weeks LOL
really love the idea, it looks like a lot of fun.
I hope you don't mind: I love this wanton and beautiful reuse of a phone dial so much I submitted it to hackaday under one of your favored aliases.
Hee, thanks -- I haven't been on hackaday in a long time!
@@Attoparsec This seemed like exactly their schtick, especially as they had another, less cool, less explanatory, pulse dial project today.
I love this. I particularly like that unique dial springback noise. Nice explanation of how they work. Also, good choice for backing music: very Arcade Fire-esque. Your mention about a current limiting resistor to handle the short when plugging in that phono jack is going to save people a lot of heartache. I've done that and it was very frustrating.
I didn't notice when I was selecting the song, since I impatiently skip around a bunch looking for one that feels right, but with a name of "Motor Hums" it *has* to be intentional.
heh rewatching this two years later and I was all hey wow that sounds like arcade fire and then I look at the comments and...
Your stuff is crazy awesome. Glad I found you. Jonathan in Seattle
awesome idea and a great explanation and video. Thanks!
Dude! Awesome. Particularly liked the Nixon speech too, so fitting. I was thinking you could possibly build a manual tension clutch to the governor to control the speed of the return on demand. Wish I had a mill too. Anyway, I just subscribed, looking forward to more builds.
The movie "In & Out" had the 'ditzy model' character played by Shalom Harlow left to order pizza with a rotary dial phone.
She poked the numbers, and then cried "Kyle !!".
It's worthy of being a meme.
"Kyle!!"
RadioShack used to make these dtmf encoders that were handheld, you have me thinking about those for some reason. Really cool project!
Thanks! I was actually working on a DTMF module to go with this, that did quantization on 2 X/Y CV signals to determine which tones were being played. It worked on the breadboard, but never on PCB. I should really get back to that one, for just once I'd like to triumph over opamps!
@@Attoparsec I'd love to see a schematic of what you came up with!
Original idea, properly executed. Nice!
Amazing idea dude.
“The party line”
cool video. where did you learn how to use the machinery to make the module? is it all your equipment? i wish i had access to stuff like that.
I was introduced to the student shop as part of an undergrad robotics competition, and I've been hooked ever since.
is this the closest thing to a clock escapement you've put to film so far? :D
