/r/CircuitBending
Circuit bending is the creative, chance-based customization of the circuits within electronic devices such as low-voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and digital synthesizers to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators.
Thats it.. For circuit benders and circuit bending

Crt circuit bending help
So I'm about to purchase a pvm for circuit bending digital art aswell as a AV/NASTY wondering if anyone has any resourced for routing?
Based on what I've researched I would need an rca/ hdmi converter and should be good to go?
CRT -> A/V NASTY -> HDMI converter -> PC
I'd then record the screen with my dslr.
Could someone confirm if this is right or if im missing anything or if there is anything other resources i should be looking at.
Thank you!
Is possible do circuit bending to a camera Nikon Coolpix s2500?
Doesn't matter if it's hdmi screens or ones used with arduino.
Hey everyone, i just got a canon powershot a540 i was going to circuit bend it but i cannot undo the tiny screws on the casing. All my screwdruvers are either too big or dull. Are there any alternatives to screwdrivers that i can use on the screws on the camera?
Hi guys, so i recently found out about circuit bending cameras and I want to try it out myself.
I have an old Canon PowerShot A550 and an old Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom. I want to know if one of them is a good and easy option to start learning how to do circuit bending. I saw you guys put some buttons and stuff on the cameras but im way too bad to do that. So is there any way to do this without all the buttons and stuff? Also, are there any tutorials to do this stuff? Cuz im kinda lost in all the sauce. :D
I'm still poking around finding interesting points. Already soldered 3 bends and I'm poking around with a needle to find more. Did anyone attempt this mixer before? Get in touch if you want to know my progress
Beginner here, this is my second project.
The mixer has 4 inputs and 1 output. I want to add 1 AUX send to each input and an AUX output.
I drawn something, does it makes sense?
I also wonder what type of potentiometer i should use.
I think the answer is yes already, but I am not sure where the two leads that went to the mic should end up on a trs Jack. All I am finding diagrams for is 3 pin mic capsules not 2 pin.
Hello, I am looking for capture cards to add to my PC that have Composite/S Video inputs to capture footage ran through my various circuit bent devices and my VIDEONICS MXProDV / Focus Enhancements MX-4 (I believe they're essentially the same thing and that is has a decent tbc, although not as good as a dedicated tbc). Ideally one with Composite/S Video outputs too but I can live without that and nothing with VGA/Component and definitely no HDMI converters. I am no stranger to rescanning from a CRT screen but sometimes it can be cumbersome, especially when it comes to lining up my camera accurately with the CRT screen. I also understand a capture card device will not be able to handle more intense glitches like a CRT can but I am assuming it will still be much better than a HDMI to USB capture device. I have done some digging and come across things like the AverMedia SD PCIe CE310B Video Capture Card but I was wondering what else is out there and which ones would be compatible with my PC? My PC has an ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI D4 motherboard (pictured below). I am also looking for suggestions for a dedicated device that has Composite/S Video inputs that can capture whatever is fed to it, kind of like an Atomos Ninja V with analog inputs. I have an ImmersionRC PowerPlay that does that decently but the 2.6" display isn't ideal. Thanks in advance!
I picked up a few CCTV cams like this and wanted to know if they’re suitable for bending when running off this kind of power and do they come with the same precautions as bending video gear that plugs into the wall?
I’m not too experienced but I really want to get into bending a security cam like this so any pointers would be good before I potentially meet god while poking around in there :)
I'm going to try and post more regularly there my circuit bending and synth projects. Seems less restrictive than reddit. @noystoise.bsky.social Anyone else?
Is it possible to use a USB B instead of battery's?
I have a Yamaha pss 790 and it needs 9volts to operate. A USB B gives a voltage supply of 5 volts. Would it work if I use a boost converter? Of would it be a bad idea?
This is what the spin bass sounds like dry reddit sadly wouldn't allow me to post the pedal version as well but it sounds like a train smashing into a live orchestra (I think)
Turned one of my dads (hopefully) unused hard drives into a really cool sub bass spinner synth with a knob
i’m new to this and i have a panasonic lumix DMC-TZ3 And a Nintendo DSi. are either of these a good option to try bending cameras?
