I want to control 25 LEDs (individual, preferably not buying a strip). Is there an easier way than connecting them to 25 pins on a Pico? Was thinking about wiring up some AND gates but that feels complicated.

Very cool! What board are you using here?

4x4 LED Cube for Raspberry Pi Pico 4x4 LED Cube for Raspberry Pi Pico: This 4x4 LED Cube will give a great introduction to more complex circuitry as well as providing more than a little experience soldering.

Just made my first instructable! It is a fully indexable 4x4 LED cube powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico running Circuitpython

Thanks to @gallaugher.bsky.social for the motivation to pursue this project and excited for many more!

Incredibly cool. Neat application of some E&M concepts, too. (Also, dope animations).

Check out my first instructable, where I put together a 3d printed and laser cut piano with CircuitPythonand a Pico 2!

@gallaugher.bsky.social #BuiltWithProfG A little late on this week’s post, but I’ve been wiring up an amplifier and a speaker. Had to make my own low pass filter with some wiring! Now some hand-soldered buttons to control what gets played.

@gallaugher.bsky.social #BuiltWithProfG Drew and I have been ordering some new parts to play withβ€”here is a speaker, a Pico 2, and an amplifier all wired up! (Needs a lot of solderingβ€”I have to hold some of the pins together)

That looks like a great box! Sure hope he doesn’t glue all the sides on sideways…

@gallaugher.bsky.social #BuiltWithProfG decided my bluefruit was getting cold in this weather, so I 3d printed it a nice container. Also, sound and volume control with buttons!

@gallaugher.bsky.social #BuiltWithProfG Wired up the light tough buttons we soldered last class and made a little light show.

@gallaugher.bsky.social a little intra-week project--made a morse code translator/communicator on our bluefruits! Using buttons, time, and some lists. #BuiltWithProfG
