Tiny and smart designs always showcase great solutions of how to find space for everything.


Solved:

  • The drivers have to be place as far as possible from the pickups

  • If inside The drivers , have to be pointing into an hole

  • Insulate your speakers with proper insulated cables

  • A rubber support

Yota, Farzaneh and I spend the whole year discussing how can AI becomes a tool for live music making. Our first considerations were


Solved:

Noise is elimanated not only by using the bela preamp shield but:

  • Each humbucker has to be wired alone (not in series) to avoid a noise sounding like it needs to ground

  • Use proper isolated wires for it!

  • The wifi dongle can be an interference for the pickup noise

  • Unfortunately, It seems the Sensitive buttons placed closed to the pickups gives noise too, I do think the wires are not properly isolated and therefore, gives a not of noise. The problem could also extend to the isolation of the buttons, which are placed into TPU recycled rubber platforms I might have to make them thicker or more filled

New issues:

  • Pick up position isn't acessible

  • I am using batteries with to much amperage (2A), that gives an extreme noise to the sound!

  • The analogue pins of this shield seems to have a connection problem in the pin 1and 0. At this moment I am using pin 2 and 3 for the pot meters.

Future considerations:

  • To make more acessible the mantainance of the humbucker without having to reassemble the instrument completely.

  • To find a solution to acess easier the IDE

zoom 30 : you can't hear the computer noise in the end, no noise

LeakDC.ar(LPF.ar(SoundIn.ar([5,6],0.5),2000),1);

zoom 31: less mul sound in

LeakDC.ar(LPF.ar(SoundIn.ar([5,6],0.2),2000),1);

zoom32: input was to loud

zoom33: some beap low, the bela was connected to te computer

zoom 34: the bela was

zoom37: I discover the pickup is getting noise from the wifi dongle

zoom38: BELA CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY!

ZOOM39: TRYING WITH A BATTERY OF 8000AM CONNECTED TO BELA, THE sound SOUNDS GREAT!

ZOOM40: Bela connected to a 800A 5V battery with the wifi dongle. The wifi dongle seems to provoke a soft low beat.


Conclusion: It seems the cause of the loud was using 2A in the minibela

was the preamp the problem?

Noise control is a nightmare. Therefore, I spend 6 months delaying a big problem: noise hum. I tried to prioritize problems by delaying this one for later. In the summer the bela platform team has sent me a product to try from them. Time to solve completely this problem!
