Walkmellotron Demo -- MIDI speed controlled cassette tape player. MIDI to QT Py to DAC control voltage to Walkman. Play a loop/long tape and re-pitch it with a MIDI keyboard/controller/sequencer.
All made with #CircuitPython@johnedgarpark John Park Learn Guide Coming Soon
Dropped by the @adafruit Show & Tell tonight with the last Pycorder demo for just a bit: an LCARS-inspired environment board! These Sharp memory displays may be one-bit, but even simple dithering looks gorgeous. And of course the code is #circuitpython :)
Pyloton is a #CircuitPython bike computer made with the CLUE board. Measure Bluetooth LE heart rate, speed, and cadence. Display and control Apple Music Service! Guide: #adafruit#3dprinting
so, tiny book. a thread. Yeah I couldn’t help myself. I made another one. It’s funny, I’m simultaneously stoked about this object, and a little embarrassed at how far I had to wander from the original prompt in order to find my way back to the right idea (which isn’t quite this).
The first tiny book (left) wasn’t as tiny as it could have been, mostly because I needed to add some capacitive touch pads to allow for user input. Then Good Display made a touchscreen version of their 2.7” e-paper display, and that kind of changed everything.
Touch adds a whole other dimension to this. The refresh, I can speed up. But wow the possibilities. Simple GUIs, swipe gestures, drawing if I can nail down partial refresh. This demo is in #CircuitPython with the Adafruit_FocalTouch library; it just worked :)
I feel watched 👀
Now with twice the googly eye action!
Written in #circuitpython the code should work on other display types as well.
Next step to mount these somewhere…
You’ve probably always wondered “gee, I wish someone would use an adorably soft robot cat to teach me about #CircuitPython and #IoT”, right? Right? 😻
Well friend, my first CircuitPython course is out, and it’s exactly that! Check it out on @LI_learning!
Followed an excellent tutorial by @johnedgarpark [ and built a #circuitpython@adafruit RP2040-powered Fallout Pip-Boy. Fun summer project for my 15yo programmer & me! Now we're porting to PyPortal w touchscreen.
