Circuit Bending 101: Quick Solutions
Circuit Bending 101 continues as Dan Demchuk offers some quick troubleshooting tips that he employs when his toys aren't producing sounds at the push of a button.
Dan advises past simply removing and replacing the battery for a more surefire solution - installing a temporary kill switch. Please note that Dan's advice to "cut the red wire" does not cross over to bomb deactivation, and stay tuned for further installments of Circuit Bending 101 at Gearwire.com.
DAN DEMCHUK: Hi. I'm Dan Demchuk again with Circuit Bending Workshop right now at the Paul Wall Manor.
I was saying like a little bit ago that I have certain problems with the toys where for some reason it's not making the sounds anymore that it is at the press of a button. Well, usually the best thing to do is to get the door off these things and take out the battery in the back. If you take that out usually, and put it right back in, it'll start working again. You don't have to worry so much, but an easier solution to that is to turn it into a quick kill switch, and all you're going to want to do then basically is cut your red wire in half and install a button or a switch, usually like a momentary off switch so that you can turn that on and off at the touch of a button, and then you can start back over looking for your bends again.
Again, I'm Dan Demchuk again with the Circuit Bending Workshop.

circuit bending demos by DJ Dan Demuck.
these are overall informative demos. i just wish there was one on soldering & what to do after you've found a bend point. thanxxx!!!
cool!
I have a casio I have been wanting to bend, so maybe it's about time for an in-depth demo. We're swamped with new gear, but if I get some free time at home, I'll see what I can whip up.
