A tiny MIDI controller with Raspberry Pi Pico and #CircuitPython
Sebastian builds a nine key MIDI keyboard.
With a MIDI library available for the Raspberry Pi Pico making a little MIDI “piano” is relatively easy. The MacroPad which I build last month is the perfect little device to play around with this.
If you want to follow along exactly, first you’ll have to build my MacroPad, though pretty much any Raspberry Pi Pico with a few buttons attached will do. Just make sure to update the code below so that the pins correspond with your hardware.
The Raspberry Pi Pico will need to run CircuitPython for this to work, my MacroPad already had this.
