furby circuit bending switch questions

[agoostus]

I have been circuit bending a furby, and would like to install a switch to turn the] glitches on and off, the only thing is I am not sure if a resistor is needed and if so how do I know what kind.... any tips would be cool.

thanks

wow,
I didnt think this was that difficult a question, I thought the answer was a simple explanation, but i guess it has many people stumped....well I hope someone knows....

thanks

And they didn't even say either, bad manners

Furby ... it is that greyish hairy toy thing that goes making sound and moves when it hears you, right ?

I've really no idea what's in it, so I wouldn't know what the switch needs, but it sure made funny sounds, if it is what I think it is. Did it do glitches, don't remember that, it spoke, sort of ...

Is this maybe a sort of a "standard" bend and described on some website ?

[agoostus]

well I searched for info on bending furbys on the internet and it made reference to some certain vague areas that could be used to access hidden glitching and/or looping effects, and just started connecting different parts to eachother. the results were very drastic, including glitching random sounds, beeps, distorted voices...etc.... but I'm just not sure what I need to do to attach a switch.....I also would like to install an output jack

If the glitch bends work by just shorting points together, then i don't think a resistor is required, just add a switch.

And for the output jack, try to connect a jack across the exixting speaker, if it is too hot (loud / distorted) the ad a small resistor, or even better a small trimmer resistor.

Has good info on adding output jacks

Good luck with the furry fellow
