Inside a big pink LUST button (or whatever phrase you wish to use)

My bassy voice didn't do this button justice. With a higher pitched voice it's a bit louder, due to the limited frequency spectrum needed to smash 30 seconds of audio into memory.
This video was inspired by Julian Ilett video where he showed some technical goodies he'd ordered online.

You can get these buttons in a variety of colours from AliExpress. They use two AAA cells for power and you can use a built in microphone to record an audio sample of up to thirty seconds, which is then replayed each time you press the button.

The dinky 8 ohm speaker does limit the volume a bit, and there is a distinct hiss over the audio, which may originate from either the microphone or the chip itself.
I drew a blank on the chip when I tried a Google search. I wonder if it's similar to the ISD (Information Storage Devices) ICs that used analogue memory to store sound.

Technically speaking you could just use this as a big button by cutting a track and soldering two wires to the main button switch.

Here's a typical AliExpress listing. The price should be around 4-5£ inclusive of shipping.


If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
