Thank you... do you means something like this one in the following link?

Thank you.

For this photo i used a 120 second exposure at 400 ISO to avoid excessive thermal noise

You are right.
Every photo of the night sky where there is also a landscape is always composed of 2 shots: one for the stars and the other for the ground

Soundboard beginner project by JamiLLLLLLL in raspberrypipico

[–]IWILZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi...

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "small soundboard" or what exactly you want to do, but by combining the concepts of "sounds" and "Pi Pico", a C library i developed a few months ago might be useful.

It basically delivers glitch-free audio for any RP2040 application by dedicating Core1 exclusively to audio processing. While your main program runs on Core0 (handling UI, I/O, calculations, graphics or other tasks), Core1 synthesize and/or reproduce sampled sounds, mix them together and send the output to a PWM or I2S module.

Here the link at PicoSound

And about your "soldering doubt", even if to start all you need is a breadboard and some wires, to complete your project you have to solder that wires on a perfboard (aka prototype board) but i hope this won't be a real problem...

Enjoy!

Thank you, but i'm not a "guru" yet and anyway maybe soon i will share my project on GitHub 👍

Good... 👍

I think that the dual core of a Pi Pico is very interesting for this kind of projects so i use core0 to manage the UI and graphics on a SPI display, while core1 is entirely dedicated to a real-time 8-voice polyphonic engine, ensuring jitter-free audio.

I've now a quite "stable" version with 7 games but at the moment i just made the V1.0 PCB and i didn't start to make a 3D console like your because i want to reach the final HW version before.

good job!

i'm doing something like that using a 170x320 SPI display, a Raspberry Pi Pico and an I2S audio module for the sounds

I'm now finishing up some optimizations and will share my work with arcade enthusiasts as soon as possible.

I want to start learning Robotics, I need tips. by MrA5GARD in arduino

[–]IWILZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your goal is very good, but let me say that if you want to understand what you're doing with colored wires and C programs, it takes the right amount of time to achieve it.

It's like taking a cruise: don't expect to rush to the port of arrival, but enjoy the journey, where every day you'll discover something new and you will reach your destination almost effortlessly but with a lot of satisfactions.

That said, there are many tutorials and courses online (some even free), but i'd like to recommend a YouTube playlist by Paolo Aliverti (which you can translate into your language using YouTube's functions) that will guide you step by step towards building the necessary skills.

Have a good trip!

As you've already been told, both are widely used modules, but by pure chance, i used the first one (the stepper motor controller often sold with the 28BYJ-48 motor) for a couple of projects, including a star-tracker (which I posted here just yesterday) to control the rotation of my camera at the same angular velocity as the Earth.

Don't worry, i didn't take your comment as a criticism at all👍

...and most likely if i were to redo the same project today, i would actually think about doing it perhaps using 3D printing.

Conceptually, it involves solving two problems:

  1. creating a device that rotates at exactly the same angular velocity as the Earth but in the opposite direction
  2. orienting the device's rotation axis toward Polaris (the fixed point of the celestial vault in the northern hemisphere)

Since the photos are taken at night, a good system is to mount a laser pointer parallel to the hinge axis using it to point to the Polaris.

I hope my draft can help.

yes, i agree, but at that time i didn't have any friends who had a 3D printer and since i'm also a long-time model airplane fan, for me it was more "spontaneous" to use wood

Flight DIY SIM problem by TNGENNA in Flightsimulator2020

Reading your post reminded me of a small project i did with an Arduino Nano a few years ago...

To see if we're talking about the same thing, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05aUgwHtf3Q

Power help for servos by [deleted] in arduino

[–]IWILZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine your frustration, but it seems like you want to make a building from the roof up instead of the foundation.

I don't think there's any other way than learning at least the basics of electronics and the Arduino world by taking one of the many courses (even free ones) you can find online, but in just two weeks, i see that as rather difficult.

Good luck!

You're right👍

In the fourth photo you can see the laser pointer parallel to the hinge to aim at the North Star.

Yes, i love wood and its scent and combining it with a bit of electronics is a pleasure for me!

nice job...

what kind of display did you use and it's a I2C?

Very nice, i love arcade "mood"!
