Digital Guitar Amplifier/Effects Processor
The Teensy 3.2 MCU Module
By Brian Millier
In this series, Brian presents an innovative guitar amplifier/effects design, which features a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller module, an audio adapter module, a simple preamp/buffer, and a 20-W Class AB power amplifier. This month he introduces the Teensy 3.2 MCU module and the necessary software.

Declarative Finite State Machines
By Chris Cantrell
State machines are neatly defined in a declarative data structure-a picture in the code. Chris designed an example tic-tac-toe state machine for an 8 × 8 LED display and a back-lit pushbutton. He  implemented the state machine using two different programming languages on two very different platforms.
