SparkFun Engineer Joel plays a melody on the second version of the digital handpan, aka the Touch Drum.
Tsunami looping firmware is released, and connectable by MIDI. And why not MIDI BLE? It's done with the nRF52832 this week.
The convenience of advancing tech can kill a good nostalgia project...but it's not quite dead...
The serial controlled motor driver is stripped of its firmware and reprogrammed to function as an amplifier. Then it's surrounded with circuits that turn the whole shebang into a portable guitar amp.. but it won't win any awards.
Students use the Bare Conductive Touch Board and conductive paint to showcase their talents.
SparkFun partners with the LA Philharmonic for its first-ever music hackathon.
Make your own digital handpan drum using the Teensy Audio Shield and the Teensy's built-in capacitive touch inputs.
Our newest hacker team is working remotely with us from Amsterdam to make a group-played instrument.
Wow great blog!

Thanks for the great description! I hadn't even been aware of the existance of NNSS, though in the mid 1980s, I'd looked at LORAN-C for a…
Thanks for the L band sharing !
Over the years, I've been pretty vocal about wanting on-board RTCs, with at least the possibility of connecting something like a coin…
Not only does VBAT supply the RTC, but there’s also battery-backed RAM onboard too! With the amount of space available on the Thing Plus…
Interesting... it sort of covers one of my "hot buttons", that is having an RTC. In looking at the schematic, I noticed that the "BAT"…
But Social Engineer's LOVE him. Good job catching so many of the buttons social manipulators use, but I nearly thought Sparkfun was off…
I know that radar to measure speed (such as police use to check the speed of vehicles) uses doppler shift to measure the speed. The thought…
