The Macropad RP2040 makes a great MIDI tester for sending Bank select messages to your favorite software synth or hardware synth with USB MIDI Hosting. You can play a few keys, switch quickly among Bank patch presets, and even send CC and PitchBend messages! All written in CircuitPython. John Park Learn Guide coming soon.

For our RTC QT breakouts, we want to add a coin cell holder on the back. I like these bent metal ones, they are inexpensive, easy to pick and place or hand solder, and are incredibly durable - they don't corrode or get loose over time (and if they did you could bend them right back!) See them at https://www.digikey.com/short/h9fp34qj Also, thanks to Jeff Epler for pointing out a nifty 'lead time t...

Over the weekend I made some generative ai art using VQ-GAN + CLIP tutorial and Google Collab Notebook. It’s a bunch of Python that can take words and make pictures based on trained data sets. This one is the word “Adafruit”, so this is what the output is based on the training. I made a short video of it before I was able to do an automatically made video after its iteractions.

We're back from a break last week, and jumping into some hardware designs we put together before we took last weekend off. Two RTC QT designs - starring our two favorite RTC chips - the DS3231 and the PCF8523! We also started adding UPDI support to the AVR programmer library we use for computer-less programming. Thankfully we are able to use the open source port of pymcuprog from brandanlane: http...
