If you want to see the console output in a Linux terminal, you can use the following command: This is because it seems like the output console is bound to that serial port, so can’t be used for standard serial I/O. There appear to be libraries that could provide serial mirroring/pass-through, and would create a…
A digital xylophone with Micro:bit and neopixels! What a cool project! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16bfPuo8Jy
I’m going to have to test this out later since it looks like what I’ve been trying to do with other LLMs with mixed results. https://byteshape.com/blogs/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507
A long time ago I built a quilt that had switches in each block, and this is very similar, though it looks like it uses capacitive touch rather than pressure, which mine used. Either way, cool stuff! https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/12/29/touch-sensor-quilt-block-the-raspberry-pi-official-magazine-issue-161-rpimagazine
This is just a fun use of a connect four game board as a musical instrument. It falls squarely in line with the original ideas that inspired Engineering Harmony.
I’m planning on building a foot-controlled musical instrument. First, I’ll need some floor switches like these: https://www.instructables.com/Floor-Switches-Mats/ I’ll be using some sort of microcontroller or microcomputer, like A Raspberry Pi or a Micro:bit, but I haven’t made that selection yet. It might be something more like this: https://www.instructables.com/Build-an-Easy-Floor-Piano/ I might use this for capacitive sensing…
