Disposable Vape Becomes Breath-Activated Synth
Hackaday
A maker repurposed a disposable vape into a breath-activated synthesizer using its battery, charging board, and pressure sensor.Summary
A recent project by [Becky Stern] demonstrates the repurposing of a disposable ElfBars BC5000 vape into a unique musical instrument. The vape is disassembled, retaining the LiPo cell, USB charging board, and low-pressure sensor. These components are integrated with a 555 synthesizer circuit and a speaker. The pitch of the synth is controlled by six photoresistors, and the circuit is activated by inhalation, triggering the sensor. While the resulting sound is described as shrill, the project showcases creative hardware hacking and the potential for unconventional instrument design.
