newest guide for adafruit is a bass midi stomp box. this was a really fun build! i got to drill an enclosure, put together a 9V guitar pedal power supply to power the pico 2 inside and of course midi #circuitPython

Bass MIDI pedals are a really popular DIY music project. They're used to control synths or other MIDI equipment with your feet while you're playing another instrument. Perfect for getting moody drones going during your solo shoegaze set. The build is housed in a pedal enclosure and uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, running CircuitPython, plugged into a Terminal PiCowbell for easy wiring with the foot switches.
ACEBOTT QD023 ESP32-based gesture control glove tracks finger movements with potentiometers

ACEBOTT QD023 is an ESP32-based wearable gesture control glove that tracks finger movements with potentiometers instead of more traditional flex sensors. The glove transmits data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to control various robotics kits, such as bipedal walkers, mecanum-wheeled cars, and robotic arms. The glove integrates five potentiometers for finger bending detection, and a 6-axis MPU6050 IMU for wrist rotation, tilt, and hand posture detection in real time. Other Hardware features include a USB Type-C port for programming and debugging, four AAA batteries for power, buttons, LEDs, and more. Tutorials and assembly guides make it suitable for K-12 education, classrooms, and hobbyist robotics projects. ACEBOTT QD023 specifications: Wireless Module – ESP32-WROOM-32D (soldered on the backside of the PCB) SoC – ESP32 dual-core wireless microcontroller CPU – Dual-core Xtensa 32-bit microprocessor @ 240MHz Memory – 520KB internal SRAM Wireless – Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and Bluetooth (4.2 and BLE) PCB antenna USB –
