Parts: Voice recording pen

Taking apart the pen

This is the part I enjoy the most :)

Circuit liberated and photoresistor added

Pretty! I decided to try to ad a light sensitive switch (photocell/photoresistor) to the mechanism.You can see it on the left in this picture, the roundish redish part with two long legs. Bought at Radio Shack.I simply soldered the photo resistor to the pins of the original button. When light shines on it it triggers the recorded sound.

I like the scars :) A doll for boys, no doubt about that.

Improving audio

The audio on the original voice recording pen was a little low, so I looked for a speaker with better output, and found it in the speaker from this dirt cheap electronic game.

Off with the the original speaker.

Borg!

Need to solder the new speaker to the original circuit. The Borg would be proud.

Mini-DIY: Homemade BORG!

Solder complete

The solder joints is reinforced

Borg fashion

I decided to but the section with the mic and the potentiomenter that controls the pitch in place of one of the eyes, in true Borg fashion.

Borg, side view

The yellow and red part contains the batteries, and I'm thinking about painting it black.

Recording button

If you press the small black button in the back of his head and press together the small "beak"-looking thing you can record new sounds. The chip can hold about 10 seconds of audio.
