PB201 Step Sequencer
That is the 8 step sequencer for the Paper-Bits. One can change steps, speed and the value of the CV output. The speed can be voltage controlled, too. There are also 8 banks for storing notes and rhythm.
The board is based on an Arduino chip and therefore can be easily programed and modified.

Software
Once you're board is ready, you will need to burn the arduino UNO bootloader on the chip (some chips are already burned from factory).
Follow the instructions:
burn the bootloader
Insert the chip into the IC socket and connect it to you're computer using a USB to Serial board.

Or use your Arduino for that:

Open the Arduino software on your computer and upload the following code to the board:
step_test_programm_01.zip
That is a test program to check if the voltage devider for the switch and the step poti has the right value. If the program shows the right values copy-paste that into the sequencer program and upload that to your board, too.
