MIDI Guitar 🎸


I worked with Noe from Adafruit on this MIDI Guitar project. I wrote the code, he did the CAD and we collaborated on the concept and components.

My wife is a teacher and wanted something spooky but not scary to wear for this upcoming Halloween so I #3dprinted her this little spider pendent. Inside I have hot glued four little Neopixels which are wired up to an @adafruit Feather RP2040 (powered by @Raspberry_Pi ) and a small Lipo battery. Wrote some #CircuitPython code to create the rainbow eye effect to keep it fun!

To everyone following my Gonk adventures. Inside this little fella is a @Raspberry_Pi PicoW, a mmWave presence sensor from @seeedstudio , a small mono OLED screen, a pair of green LEDs and a single Neopixel. The whole arrangement is hooked up to #homeassistant using the MiniMQTT library in @circuitpython (#CircuitPython also controls all the hardware too).

Like many faculty, I’ve seen fewer students stop by office hrs post-COVID. Potential solution to make office visits more fun: the β€œDisco Button” has been deployed to my office at Boston College. An effective way to teach IoT with #CircuitPython, @Raspberry_Pi #Pico W, #MQTT & @adafruit IO.


Here is #BCPhysComp student Hunter showing the inside of his @Raspberry_Pi Pico-powered coffee maker. Checks temp, weighs & grinds beans, pumps water. It was some good brew & a great project. All in #CircuitPython, too. 1/2 since Mastodon doesn't do video well. #BuiltWithProfG.


I will say without @Raspberry_Pi creating such a great document for RP2040, it would have been near impossible for Fig Pi to exist. Additionally, @adafruit has been invaluable over the last several years with #CircuitPython support. Honestly, feeling very grateful this morning for the #maker community.

I ordered my Mini Fig Pi two days ago, and it arrived today! Of course, @ben_shockley and I are both in the KC area, so your results may vary. 😁
These are 1:1 scale with actual LEO Minifigures, so they're obviously tiny, but surprisingly so when holding one. 🀏 πŸ”

Want to build a door alarm using a @Raspberry_Pi Pico? You'll probably want to use a magnetic switch. Learn how to write #CircuitPython code to tell if a door switch (also called a reed switch) is open or closed. We'll end with a "door alarm" challenge that turns on an LED & plays an alarm sound when the door switch is open. Get at that Big Learning & stay safe 🚨 https://youtu.be/0XNt2bBGI0s #Pico #PiPico #RaspberryPi #STEM #STEMEducation #RaspberryPiPico


I made a case for my β€œpicotouch_grid”. It’s got little standoffs on the back screws to give it an incline! Slowly it’s coming together

I've updated a video lesson for electronics newbies on choosing a board to run #CircuitPython. I've included several tips for for educators, including things I've learned & gaffes I've committed. I cover several @adafruit boards including the CircuitPlayground Bluefruit, plus Feather & QT Py standards, the @Raspberry_Pi, and the @Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect & discuss why I've switched from a Pi 3A+ to a Pico W for my course. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/xCGPH4_RyPc


Our Boston College Physical Computing students are soldering headers on their @Raspberry_Pi Pico W boards. We’ll be building IoT, robotics, and accessibility projects with these boards using #CircuitPython.

Modular Melody Maker 2 in/2 out Quantizer Demo


i wanted to have a good quality demo of the 2in/2 out quantizer progress for the modular melody maker aka not recorded with my phone. both ADC inputs are receiving a random waveform, the waveform is quantized and output through the DAC.

for the patch, braids is receiving one of the 1v/oct signals and is going into a VCA with a triangle wave CV signal. the output of the VCA is going into IN on rings. rings is getting the other 1v/oct signal along with a gate trigger on strum.


Join me at 7pm GMT today as we build a Galactic Guitar Hero-like game using the

Modular Melody Maker Build Log 1: Acknowledge and Accept the Spaghetti



Today's procrastimaking activity has been porting my weather rainbow 🌈 project from ESP8266/Arduino to @Raspberry_Pi Pico W/ #CircuitPython. It's so nice to be able to store WiFi and OpenWeatherMap info/credentials in an editable text file rather than messing around with the Arduino WiFi manager libraries. Also much easier to parse the weather data in #Python. Still todo: coding LED animations for displaying temperature and weather conditions.

First chords with the robot xylophone


The first chords out of the robot xylophone. Running on an Adafruit ItsyBitsy nRF52840 with the CircuitPython BLE MIDI library. Notes played live with a MIDI keyboard going into my computer to send MIDI out via BLE. I'm on Windows and I really like using MIDIberry for this.
