The SIDuino


SIDuino demo song from gaess on Vimeo.

"This video shows the SIDuino shield for the Arduino board in action. Sound quality is not the best, because i've used my cameras mic, but you'll get the idea what is possible to do with it!"

The video above is from 4 years ago so this not a new project, however I do not believe it has been featured on the site before now.

"The idea is to emulate the original SID chip (Sound Interface Device) from the Commodore 64, cos its hard to get, and in addition to have the whole interface and programmability from the arduino. The SID-emulator code was programmed by C. Haberer, see Roboterclub Freiburg for details. The SID-shield has been designed by dusjagr/SGMK, the SIDuino i2c-shield has been designed by gaess.

The systems allows you to create original 8-bit sounds programmed and controlled via the Arduino board.

SIDuino i2c

The latest SIDuino version uses now an i2c connection between arduino and shield. Arduino's hardware serial port can thus be used for MIDI-Input. With te new code, we don't need any Software Serial commands any more and have been able to speed up the whole system considerably. We have a debbugged Version 0.3 of the shield now online. You can find schematics and a running code example on the separate SIDuino i2c page."
