Nothing beats learning that feels like game play! From Learning Synths:
Synthesizers make sound using electricity, usually with controls that let you change their sound. Some controls change just one specific aspect of the sound, while others, like the box above, change many aspects of the sound at once.

Keeping with tradition, we covered quite a bit this past week. Here’s a kinda short nearing medium length list of highlights:
1,900th GUIDE! Trash Panda 2: Garbage Day
Our 1,900th guide has landed in the Learn System! It’s John Park’s Trash Panda 2: Garbage Day and it’s lots of fun! You can make it with MakeCode Arcade, and mod and hack it all you like.
In Trash Panda 2: Garbage Day, you play as the suburban dweller just trying to get some sleep when the raccoons and cats decide its time to make noise and throw garbage our of the trash bins! You must try to stop them by shining your flashlight on them. But you can only play at night, so be sure that your PyGamer or PyBadge’s light sensor indicates it’s dark out!

Animation has come a long way, INSIDER shared this video on Youtube!
From “Toy Story” through “Toy Story 4,” Pixar has revolutionized animation in its nearly three decades of existence. Each new movie requires new technical innovations. “Monster’s Inc.” helped them create fur, “Ratatouille” helped them create wet fur, and “Finding Dory” led them to create an octopus from scratch. In “Toy Story 4,” which comes out June 21, they updated Bo Peep, created Forky, and made perhaps the most realistic-looking cat you’ll ever see in animated form.

Now, the team has struck gold again, further evidence of the benefits of its innovative luring technique which could transform how the striking sea life is tracked in future. The group from the Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA) has developed a tool they dubbed The Medusa, a stealth camera system designed to be particularly unobtrusive. It’s based on the theory that animals like giant squid are frightened off by the bright lights on traditional submersibles, not to mention the loud noises they make.
From Team Plant Protector: Brian Cottrell, Christine Cottrell, Joe Gonzalez, Ruby Hsu, Chih-Wei Hsu on Hackster.io:
In order to efficiently distribute water and nutrients to our plants regardless of the shape or size of the planter, we place a small inexpensive ultrasonic humidifier into a 3D-printed enclosure so that it would fit in the base of the planter and allow air to flow inside so that it could be pushed through the vaporized fluid and into the interior of the planter.
The Star Wars article I never knew I needed from Emily Asher-Perrin on Tor.com.
I’m sure when you were a kid watching Star Wars, you just assumed that the instruments being played by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes (note: if you just called them “the cantina band” I’m really not sure what to do with you) were variants on instruments that you have already seen or played upon. Look, it’s an oboe! That one’s a space saxophone! How wrong you were, my young friend. How misguided. That instrument that Figrin D’an is playing is called a kloo horn. It’s totally different from our lousy Earth instruments. (It’s not.) And the Star Wars universe is full of musicians who loved that instrument, at least according to the Legends canon.

A few blocks from Adafruit, today’s photo for Pride weekend here in NYC –
Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019, held in June of 2019, is a celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots and WorldPride 2019, with related events in Manhattan, across New York City, New York State, and throughout the world. The 2019 festival is the first time WorldPride, the annual global LGBTQ pride event, is being held in the United States. The theme of the celebration and educational events is, “One World, One Pride, One New York City – Unite in 2019.”
The Stonewall uprising of June 1969 was a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community in Greenwich Village, New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall Inn, local street kids from the surrounding area, and members of the community who came from neighboring gay bars, fought back against an early morning police raid, refusing to be arrested for simply patronizing a gay bar and being out in public. The Stonewall rebellion is widely considered to be one of the most important events, and by many the most important event, leading to the gay liberation movement, and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.
The events are being held throughout June, which is traditionally Pride month in New York City and worldwide, under the auspices of the annual NYC Pride March. Organizers are planning for Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019 to be the largest international LGBTQ event in history, and are expecting as many as four million people to attend in Manhattan alone. Currently, the NYC Pride March rivals the São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade as the world’s largest LGBTQ event with over three million people.

The amino acid chains that make up proteins can be easily visualized as a sequence of musical notes, according to Markus Buehler, a materials scientist at MIT. Buehler and his colleagues used the similarities between these sequences to convert 20 types of amino acids into a 20-tone scale. The results, published in a study published Wednesday in ACS Nano, include trippy original songs and fresh insights into protein structure.

This project requires the PIR to be connected directly to the PiJuice instead of the Raspberry Pi so that power will only be provided when necessary thereby saving the battery charge as much as possible.
The ability to efficiently use the battery charge is one of the main features of this project and we have optimised the configuration of both the software and the hardware so that the Raspberry Pi is powered on only when required and with the minimum of its hardware running. Have a look at How to save power on your Raspberry Pi to know more.

This is your periodic reminder that there are two Raspberry Pi computers in space! That’s right — our Astro Pi units Ed and Izzy have called the International Space Station home since 2016, and we are proud to work with ESA Education to run the European Astro Pi Challenge, which allows students to conduct scientific investigations in space, by writing computer programs.
The Challenge has two missions: Mission Zero and Mission Space Lab. The more advanced one, Mission Space Lab, invites teams of students and young people under 19 years of age to enter by submitting an idea for a scientific experiment to be run on the Astro Pi units.

Awesome post from Alasdair Allan up on Hackster.io.
At the start of last month I sat down to benchmark the new generation of accelerator hardware intended to speed up machine learning inferencing on the edge. So I’d have a rough yardstick for comparison, I also ran the same benchmarks on the Raspberry Pi. Afterwards a lot of people complained that I should have been using TensorFlow Lite on the Raspberry Pi rather than full blown TensorFlow. They were right, it ran a lot faster.
Then with the release of the AI2GO framework from Xnor.ai, which uses next generation binary weight models, I looked at the inferencing speeds of these next generation of models in comparison to ‘traditional’ TensorFlow. This also ran a lot faster.

I’m using a fish tank temperature controller at the moment to control a heater belt with a relay which is kind of ok apart from I need to go into the garage to check what it’s doing and the temperature sensor which is just a cheap thermistor just gets bungee’d to the outside of the mash tub so I’m not sure how accurate it is, especially since the temperature sensor ends up being close to the heater.
So I’m going to use my raspberry Pi to upgrade this to use Node Red so I can check what my beer is doing without leaving my arm chair. I’m also going to use an industrial PT100 probe so I get a better temperature reading. The first thing to do is a quick drawing of how this is going to be wired up, I’ll use an Analog Hat (PiIO_ADIO) for the Pi to do all the interfacing so I just need to add a power supply and mains relay to my enclosure, since the interface PCB has a step down supply for the Pi I can just use a single 0.63A 24V PSU to power everything. I’ll mount everything on DIN rail then just use gands to seal the box (ignore irrigation references that’s another project).

Awesome 3D printed lightsaber Via Hypertext!
You can find a 3D printed lightsaber in just about every size and shape to mimic every instance of the weapon you can think of, but the version we have today is a bit different as it focuses on what’s inside every one of them: a kyber crystal.
Maker Philipp Kruppe has recreated the internal of a lightsaber complete with this important element that glows thanks to some transparent filament and LEDs embedded in the print.
Krupped tells us that this project started with modelling the print in Solid Edge, a CAD programme from Siemens that we don’t see used too often by those featured in our 3D Print of the Day series.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

When traveling with a TS100 portable soldering having to carry a power-adapter for it can be something you don’t want. If you’re unfortunate enough to be living in dongle-town, then you can at least make the best out of it.
Purchase a USB-C Power Delivery adapter, solder an XT60 to it and 3d print this sleek case for it.
The adapter I bought can be found here and it’s the last one, the smallest.
It allows you to select between 5V and 20V by soldering a jumper on the PCB. Mine arrived pre-set at 20V which is perfect for the TS100
Hope you enjoy this accessoryUPDATE April 15 2019:
I’ve added an alignment jig to print.
It allows you to correctly align the XT60 with the PCB and the shell.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
