What are people working on?

I'm currently working on installing a brightness control for the aftermarket backlight in my original gameboy. For the moment I've installed a 1k resistor to reduce the brightness from "oh god my eyes" to "doesn't give me a headache". I did some testing last week and determined that a 10K audio taper potentiometer ought to do the trick, and I think I've found the appropriate thumbwheel but I need to make sure I'm not running too much current through it.

The big challenge is going to be mounting it. Aside from cutting a small hole in the case I will probably need to 3D print something to mount the thumbwheel on and I have yet to design that. I probably could use some guidance from more seasoned 3D printers than me. :)

Nice! It will be cool when you can easily manipulate the brightness.

Are you using the gameboy for your chiptunes class?

Slowly getting a ~30 year old Casio PT1 piano to talk to LEDs wirelessly.

Using an adafruit huzzah(esp8266) and an electret mic to pickup audio, a MSGEQ7 to convert to frequency data, then send to Pi via MQTT. Shiny LEDs blink at the end. This should leave the piano largely untouched.

I want to put the piano out by the mailbox on summer nights and have people make Blinky lights go along with their music.

Doing it all wrong, but having fun:)

That is a really awesome concept!

I'll likely demo some stuff using the gameboy, but for the class we'll be using sunvox becaues it's an easy alternative.

That's a really cool idea. I especially like the idea of using the MSGEQ7 to convert the audio to frequency data. How's the MSGEQ7 communicating with the huzzah?
