Door to the stars - Travel guide
Door to the stars is an expander that opens 6 einstein-
rosen bridges (aka wormhole/portals/time dimensional
path/ and so on...) for the tetragrid.
What is it?
This technology allow you to send external cv inputs to
perturbate the complex gravitational interactions of the
tetragrid star map system.
It is a one way travel, nothing gets back, at least not on
this plane.
Each one of the portals/inputs (right side) can be opened
and closed through its correspondent hyperspace switch
(left side): up is open, down is closed.
The inputs are normalled down, so if for example only
the first input is patched, the signal is cascaded to inputs
2,3,4,5 and 6. If you don’t want this, you can still
disengage the unused inputs through the switches.
Event Horizon
Once your cv has been sent through the portal, it will
appear to its correspondent pad on the playing board
(follow the MAP). Now, through the magnetic pins, you
can connect it to its surrounding pads, affecting the
internal tetragrid behaviour.
Behaviour
You can now gravitationally bend the tetragrid to external forces.
The behaviour of the cv input is susceptible to the magnetic
patching on the tetra grid. Which means different results can be
obtained, such as stalling the outs over a certain threshold (or
even the opposite, where the tetra runs only when the threshold is
met) , or forcing a reset of the tetra grid cycles (similar to the sync
on a VCO).
Slow rising/falling CVs can lead you to FM-like behaviours, as
increase/decrease in speed.
The threshold that the tetra grid is looking for is around 3 volts.
But again, this will all depend on the patching!
The use of the hyperspace switch adds a lot of playability, it can
bring you to unexpected results very quickly.
Due to its nature, only the unipolar side of a signal will interact
with your tetragrid. The inputs are scaled down and rectified, so
you can still send +10V/-10V signals into the expander without
having to worry.
So as you can see, full control cannot be achieved, the tetragrid will
remain a chaotic system, on which you can now introduce an
external set of rules.
How to wire your star gate system
Door to the stars has 2 pin headers, the upper one is a 2x4 header,
this is where your cv is going to travel through, and needs to be
connected to the tetragrid 2x4 header (the donut is showing the
orientation, make sure you are matching them).
The lowest one is a 2x5 power header, the orientation of the red
stripe (-12V) is marked by the white silk screen line.
