intro: GrooveAxe - Mini Drum Machine
Percussion in your pocket. Feel the tiny boom! With your GrooveAxe, the beats will always be with you, so you'll never feel lonely again.
You can get the kit from Gadget Gangster. It comes with everything and is pre-programmed. But, if you'd like to gather the parts yourself, you'll need the following.
Parts list
Resistors, 1 each of : 1k, 3.3k, 100k
3 x 10k Resistors & 2x 330 Resistors
Gadget Gangster project board (half board)
10 uF Cap
8 Pin Dip Socket
3xAA battery holder (and batteries)
5x Tactile Switches
Micro Speaker
22Ga Hookup wire
Green LED
And a programmed PICaxe 08M. You can get the Source Code off Gadget Gangster

How to Play It
The GrooveAxe is a basic rhythm machine that plays a loop of 4 different LoFi drum noises. When you turn the unit on you can start pressing the four corner buttons,
which will make sounds. When the unit loops around, it will keep playing the sounds in the order you pressed them over and over. You can keep building up the pattern
by pressing more and more buttons. Apart from the sound buttons, the button in the middle at the left controls the tempo. By tapping this switch twice at the speed you
want the pattern to play you can set the tempo.
How it Works
The GrooveAxe is based around the Picaxe 08M micro-controller. The 4 different sounds are played using the four outside switches (S2 to S5). When a switch is
pressed, it puts a resistor of a unique value into a voltage divider that produces a voltage proportional to the resistor value. The voltage is sensed by the ADC (analog to
digital converter) on pin 6 of the Picaxe and is converted into one of 5 values in the program (4 for sounds and 1 for tempo). The sound command is then used to output
the correct sound to the speaker. Once a sound is play it is stored in memory so that it can be replayed when the pattern is played next. When the tempo switch is
pressed twice it sets a variable used by a pause command in the main pattern loop.

step 8: Speaker
Cut 2 pieces of wire about 2 long, strip both ends and solder one end of each wire to each terminal of the speaker. Solder the two wires to P19 and Q19 on the top side of
the PCB.
Bend the wires to place the speaker in the place were you want it.
That's it! If you buy this kit on Gadget Gangster, the PICaxe will come pre-programmed. there's also a PDF with schematic to download and the source code.

If you buy the kit and add a note during checkout, I'm sure you'll get an RCA jack.
Excelsior!
