I was able to get 12 of these children’s cameras for $50 so I’m making some glitch cameras that I plan to sell. there’s small variation between each one despite having the same box and design and firmware, and performance can vary between different color models too. some have higher res screens, but the difference is in the boards. I’ve used the flexible pcbs from getcircuitbent to make the wiring much easier, but I have a couple of blue cameras with these circular points on the board. if you have one that looks like this it’s possible to solder on magnet wire without having to use a microscope to solder directly to the sensor contacts. i will add 6 glitches selectable via 3 toggle switches but there’s additional glitches but this way I can use fewer wires and keep that simpler.

obviously it’s not that simple- the drum pad on its own is probably more desirable, but I would still need to 3d print a housing for power supply amp speaker. and the keyboard will look a tad anemic. the big hassle with this is the added cost of 2 LTC circuits to pitch bend the drums and keyboard.

not sure what other mods I’ll add. 1/4 inch audio jack, mess about with 555 timer, maybe use an echo board
