unhuman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wonder why TI never made a black one? Looks slick! But wonder what all the switches & caps are for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Made for circuit bending... just some craziness. You can find it on youtube. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) This guy (or someone like him) sells these circuit-bent TI's for like $500 or something ridiculous. It doesn't do anything useful for a programmer or a gamer... it's just designed to make crazy patterns and displays onscreen--- usually as a visual effect for music videos and such. I don't really get it, but hey... there's alot I don't get. =) Edited March 4, 2011 by Opry99er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew180 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I never understood the circuit bending either. The whole "it's an *art* thing" bothers me in a negative way. So, I try to keep my mouth shut. Most of the people doing this stuff have no idea about electronics and just start poking at things with wires and screw-drives to see what they can affect. One day they will stick their finger in the high-voltage section of a computer power supply and realize it is not such a *cool* thing after all. As for the console, that is what a black/silver console looks like if you remove all of the brushed aluminum panels. The knobs and switches are probably randomly soldered to pins on various chips. Heh, $500 each... ugh. What can I say, it proves people will still buy anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 "Circuit bending" is crap in my opinion. It's trashing hardware so that it malfunctions for a short time before dying altogether. I've seen this guy list these things multiple times, but has he ever actually sold one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
