Unlike many modern microcontrollers, RP2040 doesn’t come with a native capacitive touch peripheral. This doesn’t mean you can’t do it – the usual software-driven way works wonderfully, and only requires …read more Continue reading Give Your Pi Pico Captouch Inputs For All Your Music Needs
[Hunter Adams] has written a secondary bootloader for the RP2040 that uses an IR link and can be extended to behave like a polite worm virus. This allows the easy …read more Continue reading RP2040 Boot Loader is a Worm
[Simon Monk] got frustrated with bad ADC performance when tinkering with an ESP32 board, and decided to put three of the nowadays-iconic boards to the test – a classic ESP32 …read more Continue reading RP2040, ESP32, And An Atmega Have An ADC-Off
You know, sometimes dreams really do come true. When I told you about the DataHand keyboard almost four years ago, I never imagined I’d ever get to lay my hands …read more Continue reading Inputs of Interest: the Svalboard Could Be Your Salvation
The team of [Michael] and [Chimdi] from Cornell’s Designing with Microcontrollers (ECE 4760) Fall 2023 session designed a version of Simon Says on an RP2040 which they call Pico Says. …read more Continue reading Simon Says with an RP2040
Loop stations are neat things, able to replay one or more loops of audio over and over again while you perform over the top of them. Musicians like [Marc Rebillet], …read more Continue reading Building a Loop Station With An RP2040
The lovely thing about a hobby like keyboard building is that the melting pot of designs manages to never turn into a nasty porridge. Rather, it remains a tasty chili …read more Continue reading The ScottoKatana Keyboard is Cutting-Edge
Ever feel like the Pi Pico board could be doing way more given its footprint? Does it bother you that the RP2040’s ADC quality is even further decreased because of …read more Continue reading ProPico For Your Pro Pico Needs
Microwave imaging is similar to CT imaging, but instead of X-rays, the microwaves are used to probe the structure and composition of an object. To facilitate experimentation with microwave imaging, …read more Continue reading Precise Positioning with the RP2040
Students [Berk Gokmen] and [Justin Green] developed an RP2040-based LED-illuminated lightsaber as a final project with a bit of a twist. It has two unusual sound-reactive modes: disco mode, and …read more Continue reading Sound-Reactive Light Saber Flips Allegiance Via Vowel Sounds
