Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier – Part 2

This is the build guide for my Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier to support my dual-MIDI interfaces for a Raspberry Pi Pico designed by @VE7FIM from Twitter. Although designed largely for my own personal use with that specific dual-MIDI module, it could still also be used to link to several off-the-shelf MIDI modules if required. If … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier – Part 2 →

Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier

I mentioned in Raspberry Pi Pico Multi MIDI Router - Revisited that I have several dual-MIDI interfaces for a Raspberry Pi Pico designed by @VE7FIM from Twitter. In that post I built a simple proto-board carrier for the Pico. In this post I have a pcb design for something to do the same. This is definitely … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier →

Touch Keyboard PCB

Ever since experimenting with copper tape as a "touch keyboard" I wanted something a little more useful on a pcb. I always quite liked the design of the stylus keyboard for a Stylophone, so that was my starting point. I've not found anything "off the shelf" that wasn't part of another build, so I thought … Continue reading Touch Keyboard PCB →
