Glitch text represents evolutionary art and is a sign that the world is turning to digital art. And now that you’re able to generate your own glitch text using this translator, you’re probably wondering: How is text converted into weird glitch font like this? Luckily, enough keys still work that I can still turn the device on and trigger lots of noises but it has interrupted normal function of the device.You might have seen this corrupted kind of text used on social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or Discord (by the way, you can check discord font generator). Sadly the hole I drilled damaged the key matrix and has stopped many of the keys on the left side of the keypad from working. When choosing the location of the button I began drilling from the back thinking that I was clear of the keypad, but in my excitement I did not check to see how far clear of it I was. I am slightly embarrassed about it but wanted to share it as a cautionary tale. Those of you who have worked with Speak And Spells before may have already noticed it but I made rookie error with my first glitch. I attached two lengths of wire and experimented with a few different control methods before settling on attaching them with a button. After a little bit of searching I had come up with one which spewed bits of gibberish or random tones when the points were touched. Next up was to start exploring the circuit, I began triggering sounds from the keypad while touching a pair of probes to different pins on the board. Note the Speak and Spell does feature an on board headphone jack which could be used in place of the output jack it you prefer but I like having 1/4 inch jacks on all of my devices so I added one anyway. As these modifications are identical to what I did on my Vtech Alphabet Apple I will not go into to much detail here. The first thing I did to prepare the device for bending was to add a kill switch along the power connection and a switched output jack from the speaker connection. If your looking for in depth schematics and diagrams of the circuit and possible bends, Casper Electronics offers a lot of great information. I have never worked with one before but I wanted to take you guys along with me for the ride and share with you my victories and mistakes as we turn this device into something awesome. If you’ve so much as googled circuit bending you are likely familiar with the speak and spell and what it’s capable of (not to mention its sister devices the Speak And Read and Speak And Math), These devices can be turned into incredibly effective electronic instruments. I found a working Speak And Spell at a local Value Village recently and have begun exploring and cannibalizing its innards for my own amusement. Today I wanted to show you guys another circuit bending job I’ve been working on that I’m pretty exited about.
