Underpowered Woggle Bugs

Underpowered Woggle Bugs

2002-12-25 by grantrichter2001 <grichter@asapnet.net>

In a discussion with Rick Hake about the Woggle Bug, I was 
talking about the mythology surrounding Louis and BeBe Barron 
and the sound track for "Forbidden Planet".

Somehow it cam up that using a variable power supply on the 
Woggle Bug would also simulate some of the techniques used 
by the Barrons.

So if you have access to a variable power supply, as long as the 
positive and negative supllies are varied together, no harm 
should come to the module if you power it from a different supply 
voltage. When the power supply is switched of, the voltages 
decay through all inbetween voltages anyway.

So, for a patch we can call "Expiring Woggle Bug" you can vary 
the supply voltage until it begins to make organic dying noises. 
The module will be fine, just the chaotic systems are rearranging 
the attractors as the voltage goes down.
