I left my multimeter at a friends house so I still need to go pick it up. I got it woking and then I put it in the enclosure and it  messed up again. I'll keep working on it for sure.

Here is a pic of it working.

The maple seems to be running fine because I can get sound out of it. Here is a short video with some sound and what the screen now looks like when I turn it on.

Seriously though if I screwed this one up I will just have to wait in line for another. I love how it sounds. It's amazing you designed this yourself I will never comprehend how you did this. Fuck I wish I could try the step sequencer.

Ok I actually stayed up all night. I took everything apart and cleaned it with grain alchohol. Put everything back together and it started working! Put it in its case and then when I plugged it in again this is the gibberish it started telling giving me:

Updated firmware to the current and beta and with both I still have block type, so I am going to assume it just has to do with my build quality. I'll keep cracking at it tomorrow.

ok I'm an idiot I figured out what to turn, but I only have blocks no letters.

Perhaps I should try updating firmware?

Perhaps I just didn't build it correctly but I can't get the lcd to show words.

I have turned the black knob on the right hand side which I am assuming is the variable we are supposed to turn from the manual.

I'm daft so I certainly could be doing this wrong. Here are some pictures. It's 2 a.m. where I live right now so I should probably go to bed. . .
