Thanks for watching! Like & subscribe. Best audio on 1080 HD setting & headphones. This is a demo and walkthrough of the Perculator DIY drum machine. I added an OLED display screen and made significant pattern changes to add 80s dance pop beats to the open source code from the O2 Mini Pops (Ostman) / Wee O3 (Dammer) projects. The screen is a huge upgrade for me so that I can tell which of the drum patterns I'm on. The sounds emulate the Korg Mini Pops drum machine. The brains inside the box are super affordable Arduino microcontrollers less than 10 bucks each. The screen runs on a second Arduino sharing input from the pattern selection potentiometer.
