Stuff I made

My First Composition (2022)

This was an experiment with LMMS and the free Versilian Studios Champer Orchestra (VSCO) Community Edition sample library, specifically a branch in the VSCO CE repository. It provides SFZ files that can be used in LMMS via sfizz and Carla.

A Keyboard With a Solenoid (2020)

In the 70s, IBM equipped keyboards with solenoids to simulate the sound of a typewriter (Video).

Why not have this today?

This is an Idobao ID80 keyboard. It is uses an AVR microcontroller, which runs the QMK firmware. QMK supports solenoids! I bought the smallest solenoid I could find (to fit in the case) and used this circuit to drive it. Soldering was a bit fiddly, but it works!

An RGB LED Marix (2016)

This is a 20x12 full color LED matrix built with WS2811 LEDs. It is driven by a single Atmega2811 microcontroller with only 2KiB of RAM.

The code is on Github.
