This was a pretty big undertaking, i lost my will to live at the start of the week the amount of soldering required nearly defeated me, but luckily obsessive persistance did the trick! it looks quite daunting but actually in concept its really simple, its literally just the same circuit over and over and over and ov……… the next job is to add an add on module which controls the overall pitch so you can use it as a massive bass line generator of a robot atmosphere in a movie sound track! you will see me in the video reaching around the back of the box to change the notes! all im doing is flicking the voltage switch on the power brick! haha.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
