This Christmas display is powered by a CPX/Crickit and programed with CircuitPython. The Christmas trees and house are made of thin wood cut on a CO2 laser cutter. The ballerina spins when the magnetic door sensor is opened. The cuckoo like bird and soldiers are activated by capacitative touch. Continue reading Christmas House
For this project I copied audio from some of RBG’s public speeches and then modified the audio files in Audacity to fit onto the CPX. The CircuitPython program triggers the audio files to play when the pad is touched. RBG YouTube Video Here is the CircuitPython Code: import board import audioio import time import random from adafruit_circuitplayground.express import cpx cpx.adjust_touch_threshold(500) wave_file = open(“rbg.wav”, … Continue reading Talking Painting of RBG
It’s easy to add music to your CPX using Freesound http://www.freesound.org and Audacity http://www.audacityteam.org which is a free download. I will show you how to edit the music file and write a simple circuit python program to play music when button A is pressed. The circuit python program is written in the Mu editor https://codewith.mu/ Here are the cheat sheets that I use: Continue reading Adding Music to your CPX
The dollhouse has been re purposed to host Santa and a reindeer on the rooftop. Santa has a servo under his neck and in his arm. An Arduino controls his strumming. Continue reading Santa Strumming on the Rooftop
