MemPot, potentiometer with a memory

Remember this MemPot video?

"MemPot is a small controller circuit where potentiometer (or any variable resisor) is read and recorded with PIC (16F819) microcontroller. PIC stores a sequence of values from the user turning the knob and plays the same sequence back via serially controlled digital potentiometer (DS1267) chip. The playback speed and recording buffer can be controlled. This is a handy tool for performing gestures with electronic instruments with variable resistors as controllers."

* schematic and board file in Eagle format (version 1.0, not tested!)
* PIC code (V1.0)

  1. this is such a great idea. why doesn't this get put into production? even just pcb's and pic's. its so simple and it could be very inexpensive to do a run of 100, and then more if it does well. make sure all the bender know about it and i'm sure it will sell.
