Interfaces

XBrain project » Interfaces
October 21st, 1995

The first hardware interface was codenamed B-Storm, engineered and built by Xi/bRS. It featured:

  1. Linear amplification of a BF signal
  2. Analogic Mixer for BBF and external sources
  3. 6-bit Light switcher
  4. 1-bit TTL pass-thru

BStorm v1

B-Storm final version. Internal look

The software counterpart was developed with ASM68k. It was a simple interface with BBF synth and manual frequency shifter. An experimental version written in E (Amiga) has been carried out too but not completed.

The second hardware interface was codenamed CyMEX/PI. It featured, in addiction to the B-Storm, a stereo-2bit Amplitude Modulator stadium and an unlocalized distributor for the eyelids and headphones, but nothing more. This interface project was built using photolitic etching process, but overall B-Storm resulted a better project, with noiseless ampli stadium.

Active software remained the ASM code till the development of a C port under Linux x86 using a precise syncing RTC routine.
