A GPIOZero Theremin for Valentine’s Day #MadeWithMu #GPIOZero #Python #ValentinesDay #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @ben_nuttall @ntoll

Via the Made With Mu blog:

Thanks to Ben Nuttall, one of the maintainers of the wonderful Raspberry Pi GPIOZero library, love is in the air.

Why not serenade your Valentine with Mu, a distance sensor, speaker, Raspberry Pi and some nifty Python code which uses GPIOZero to turn the hardware into a romantic Theremin..?

It’s only four lines of code, thus showing how easy it is to make cool hardware hacks with Mu, Python and GPIOZero:

from gpiozero import TonalBuzzer, DistanceSensor

buzzer = TonalBuzzer(20)
ds = DistanceSensor(14, 26)

buzzer.source = ds

The end result is full of love (for GPIO related shenanigans):
