Introducing (WIP) Telex: a clone of the Monome Teletype.
Still in the early days of testing this and no idea where it will end up as a 'product' - it's pretty expensive to manufacture! I had to order special parts in to JLC, and the OLED alone is about £35. Likely this will be a 'partial kit' with the core module included (maybe even constructed) and i'll ask buyers to source & attach the OLED. There was no way i could breadboard anything this complex, so I just double, triple and quadruple checked my schematic against the original, ordered and hoped for the best. But atm i'm just very excited that it turned on, allowed me to flash the firmware, connects to a keyboard and seems to light up and send CV in all the ways it should. I've been so fascinated by this module for a while and really looking forward to playing around with it*
Hopefully won't uncover too many quirks 
If anyone wants to poke around at the schematic / improve on it / build their own - go for it! github.com/fauxcyrillic/AE-Telex

If you're interested in this module, you can 'wishlist' it on Tindie (helps me get an idea of numbers!): www.tindie.com/products/fauxcyrillic/telex/
Things you can do with Teletype:
- Sequences of many types (straightforward tracker-style note patterns, euclidian rhythms, random sequences, generative etc)
- Sample & hold

- Receive/send values to/from connected USB midi devices
- Connect to other modules via I2C (pending, but proof of concept works)

*the manual for this thing is like 190 pages long, lol
Edit: Teletype firmware v5.0 is out now and the manual has swelled to something like 240 pages :') But don't be put off, a lot of that is reference / version update notes / specific commands for interfacing with other modules which only exist in the Eurorack ecosystem. The core language is relatively easy to learn...
