Explore the Circuit Board for Circuit Bending

Video Transcript

AMANDA CLAIRE: All right. So now we're really getting into it here. We're getting to the point where we want to see what potential and what possibilities this circuit has and remember you never really know until you get into it. So, that's why circuit bending, it is kind of spontaneous, sort of make it up as you go along. It's a very exploratory thing, so that's what we're going to do first is explore the circuit board and that is to say we're going to try and see what we can make it do. Now as you can see, there are a lot of different--let me turn this thing off because it's talking to us. That's kind of one of the cool things about circuit bending is that these things kind of take on a life of their own. They kind of like, working on a little Frankenstein monster there in front of you but anyway, here's the circuit board and you see it has so many different points here. This is a fairly complicated circuit board for a kid's toy. So what you want to do is basically explore all the possible ways that you might be able to connect different terminals that aren't normally connected. And you can spend all day doing that. I mean, you can spend an hour doing it, you could spend six hours doing it. I mean, just imagine just how many possible connections there are. Eventually, you might get tired of doing it or you might find most of the things you're interested in or just find two or three things you're things you're interested in and that's enough for you. But, the stage of circuit bending called exploring the circuit board is basically stage where you got in front of you, the toy is on and basically what you're doing is you press buttons and you make it make sounds while [TOY TALKS] you are connecting different points on the circuit board and listening to the effects it has on the sound, so that's what we're going to start doing next.
