via Scott Sebastian Jaeger of the harvestman on FB"This was the first feature-complete prototype of the Donut. The PCB had some serious routing issues, so it never worked correctly and caused me a great deal of frustration. It was also the only module in my junk bin with a panel and no hop...e of rehabilitation into something musically useful.
The first shot immediately sheared all of the knobs off of the module, as the panel came away from the board assembly. Four of the pot shafts were snapped off as well. I only recovered about half of the knobs. Despite scoring two direct hits on the tact switches, I recovered most of the parts from all 5 switches. The force of the projectile impact blew most of the surface mount parts (0805 size) off of the board, I wasn't able to find any of them except for the crystal and a single electrolytic capacitor.
Load: Remington 125gr SJHP .38 Special +P (some garbage that had been laying in the back of my safe for a while). The brass and the recovered module fragments have been saved for use in an art project. I tried to pull a bullet from that tree stump but I couldn't do it without damaging the tools I had on hand."
Looks like he put the Mega-Hertz on it ;)
ReplyDeleteI've incinerated speakers and a monitor chassis for artistic pics, but I've never shot any of my prototypes. No gun to start with.
ReplyDeleteMaybe an axe would work.
