DIY USB to CV Interface Project

Hi,

Here's a project that I've been working on - finally nearing completion. It's an OSC-receiving USB to CV generator. It uses Teensy, but I think there might be some interest here too.

At this point, I would appreciate any and all feedback on the project. I'm also considering doing a small run of PCBs and kits in a week or so, if there's any interest.

Thanks,

Okay, and here's a modified version which uses Arduino.

This allows a Duemilanove to replace the Teensy 2.0. It won't fit on the PCB, but I bet people can find good ways to incorporate it. Works for me, test it out!

SRC for Arduino and Processing, and a PDF describing pin connections.

Very interesting. If you could shrink it to fit on a shield type form-factor, it might be very successful. You should consider using SMD construction.

Wondering how much interest there would be in a small run of shields, either pcbs or kits?

I've also updated the info page at: http://www.gregsurges.com/circuitry/usb-octomod/
and am planning on having a MIDI implementation within a few days.
