3D Hangouts – LEDs, Props, Wipper Snapper and Feather Headers Jig

This week @adafruit we have audio reactive LEDs! Checking out WipperSnapper beta for IoT projects. Working on new props using the PropMaker FeatherWing and CircuitPython. We’ve printed a jig for Feather headers for this Timelapse Tuesday, super practical!

HackSpace Magazine Issue 47: Projects Using CircuitPython #CircuitPython #PiDay @HackSpaceMag @Raspberry_Pi

HackSpace Magazine — Issue 47 contains two projects using CircuitPython, the easy way to program microcontrollers using Python.

VFD Tube Clock

This clock is an updated version of an older kit by Cambridgeshire, UK-based Neon Things. The update isn’t to the VFD tubes, which are ancient bits of Soviet display kit now found on internet auction sites. The update is instead to the software that runs the clock.

Whereas the previous version of this clock ran on an Arduino, this uses CircuitPython, making it considerably more user-friendly for anyone with Python as a first language. Even better, thanks to I2C, you can connect this clock to anything you want, turn it into a temperature readout, stock price monitor, or anything else that uses four seven-segment displays.

Gaming Controller

Thanks to CircuitPython, it’s easy to create a circuit that acts like a USB device such as a keyboard, mouse, or games controller. You can add whatever inputs you like to make all sorts of strange and curious controllers. However, a problem is getting things in the right form-factor. No one likes to hold a breadboard, and I’ve had mixed results when I’ve tried to mount components in wood.

It’s time to get serious, so I designed a PCB which was just a matrix-style protoboard and mounting for a Pico. I got a few printed off, and set about seeing what weird and wonderful creations I could come up with.

Siracha or Spaceship? #ArtTuesday

I can distinctly remember when I was young and bored anything could be an action figure or spaceship. The Instagram account @Spacegooose keeps that youthful imagination going with detailed drawings of everyday objects as space worthy vessels!

Head over to Instagram for more awesome drawings.

Ori Toor’s ‘Gibberish #24’

Illustrator Ori Toor combines color, pop culture, and “gibberish” to make eye-catching art.

via Creative Boom

A freelancer whose clients include Adobe, Apple and Samsung, Ori Toor loves nothing more than to doodle. His pieces in his ‘Gibberish #24’ series can take days, even months to create. “I can sometimes understand what was going through my mind at the time,” he tells Creative Boom. “It’s a bit like analysing your dreams. There’s logic but it’s a very personal one, although I hope it’s relatable somehow on a subconscious level.”

Each artwork starts organically with no thought as to how it might develop. “The process is just opening a new file in Photoshop and starting to draw lines,” he explains. “I don’t do any construction lines. I just draw. It’s all improvised because I find it more fun that way. Colouring is the same. Dropping colours with the paint bucket and changing them a lot until I’m happy.”
