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
Jo highVoltage made a Gingerbread Pond where a gingerbread skater spins in the middle when a button on the CPX is pressed. A DC motor is under the pond and is attached to a skateboard bearing which is attached to a piece of PVC board that is cut in a circle. Using CircuitPython the CPX/Crickit is programmed to make the motor turn causing the skater … Continue reading Jo highVoltage Gingerbread Pond with CPX, Crickit & CircuitPython
This Mandrake is programmed to scream when pulled. The Hallowing is programmed in CircuitPython to read the Z axis and to trigger the scream when the doll is pulled. She this short video showing how the Mandrake was made. Continue reading Screaming Mandrake
