new guide just went live: MIDI Breath Controller. i used a ported bmp585 pressure sensor with a qtpy rp2040 running #CircuitPython to map the pressure readings to MIDI CC messages

MIDI Breath Controller
Deep breathing isn't only for mindfulness, it's for sending MIDI CC messages too. You can build a MIDI breath controller with a BMP585 air pressure sensor. This particular sensor has a port that you can attach a tube to for targeted pressure readings. In this scenario, the sensor is attached to a QT Py RP2040 running CircuitPython code that maps that pressure reading range to MIDI CC message values.
