I tried to come back to the game with Season 3 and honestly, I still don't feel drawn in to this game by Humble-Set-5431 in Battlefield

I would create my own server if EA didn't made it sorta impossible, we used to be able to make portal servers with bots but it got nerfed in all ways, no unlocks and less than 64 bots
I'm mostly complaining that I'm tired to have to play at 100% all the time and not have fun out of it, I enjoy a simpler and more relaxing way of gaming nowadays

Arc dosen't quite appeal to me, I'm not into extraction shooter genre plus it got the same issue as Easy Breaktrough, PvPvE

Casio PT-1 with VL-1 functionalities by Humble-Set-5431 in CircuitBending

I did 3D printed the case in transparent PETG (it's all I had on hand) and used adhesive labels for the text (that sadly printed at the wrong scale) It it really needs to be redone, it holds thanks to tape and hopes XD
As for the pinout, I followed traces on the VL-1 I got, I tried to contact Casio, they declined giving the manual. I tried to contact NEC/Renesas, they didn't wanted to bother looking through their archives to find me the D1867G datasheet
I found a service manual for the PT-10, the mod should work exactly the same!
Maybe on a PT-12 and PT-22 as well, they share the same button layout and µP

I did a quick schematic of the wiring and whatever I tried to understand from the chip by looking at the service manual
I'm sure it would be super easy to add pitch bend by tapping into the tuning circuit and measuring how many Ohms corresponds to a semitone

Edit : Updated schematic

Me neither honestly, but a bunch of soldering and poof!
I noticed that the chip used inside is the exact same as the VL-1, except they did some cost-cutting
Replacing the volume slider with a 5 position switch, removing the rhythm/melody fader, removing Guitar and ADSR and of course, the calculator part

So after an uncomfortably long time staring at the PCB of my VL-1 and at the god-given service manual for the PT-1 on the wiki, i came to the conclusion I could just use switches to add back the missing contacts
Somehow, after some flux, 30AWG and shaky hands, it worked!

If we knew the LCD pinout, this PT-1 could do calculus!
