This thesis describes the technical implementation of a set of interconnectable blocks designed to be used by children to explore the possibilities of digital sound manipulation. In contrast to similar modular systems, this project places an emphasis on achieving the minimum possible cost. Every aspect of the design from the circuitry to the high-level code will be covered. Two particular innovations will be described in detail: first, a new method of combining power, data, and clock signals onto a single wire, and second, a method of determining the topology of a network of devices usually connected electrically in parallel.
