A little showcase video for my latest miniature from 1983 Wargames (sound on!)
Got a Pico and two pots? Now you got a drone synth!
Also, a charged battery, else your "performance" ends prematurely like mine did here.
Sixteen lines of code to make the warbles
(Synthio is much more capable than this, but this gives you an idea of how quick it is to get started)

I don’t know why Americans need to make up superheroes when they have Harriet Tubman. Who escaped from slavery, rescued hundreds of people, crisscrossed the east coast by foot undercover several times, led a victorious regiment in the Civil War... move over, Superman. And I still can’t believe she is not already on the money here. Maybe they’re afraid of what will happen when just by looking at a twenty, millions of people get inspired to be as unstoppable as Harriet Tubman every single day.
#circuitpython draft build running on a #rp2040 providing all the drum and key sounds with synthio. Drum code is https://gist.github.com/gamblor21/15a430929abf0e10eeaba8a45b01f5a8 #synth

The Arduino sketch for the video synth: https://github.com/todbot/PicoDVI_experiments/blob/main/06_videosynth_triangles/06_videosynth_triangles.ino
All the hard work done by the @adafruit fork of PicoDVI. Before coding, I do a quick shape exploration in #p5js https://editor.p5js.org/todbot/sketches/DFLFuPYJC

With a few slide pots on the @adafruit PicoDVI Feather, I can do #videosynth stuff kinda! Here, three pots control params of the sketch. If you want to try this out, I’ve been putting my code here https://github.com/todbot/PicoDVI_experiments

To all my #DevRel folks out there: when you’re teaching a #workshop, how do you handle the messiness of installing tool chains and IDEs?

Have attendees download a VM?
Hand out Linux LiveUSB drives?
Loaner laptops?
Something else?
