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.
