Great video. I would have loved to hear a before and after comparison.
You can reference 0:10 before 85 dB and 0:27 after 65 dB
@@BroganMPratt Thanks! I must have missed it, and I was looking for it at the end of the video. I just noticed the sections on the timeline as well.
I did add in the time stops after your comment, in all fairness
i have cats with noisy toys... lol
Best of luck, hopefully only the meowing is the noisy part for you from now on!
I find it quit questionable that those toys can even get so loud. It is not only annoying it can also possibly damage the ears of the kids.
And the sanity of parents! Such is the life of quick consumable toys today unfortunately. Not many regulations placed on these things beyond "will the electronics cause a shock or fire"?
I don’t have kids, my non-existent kids don’t have toys, and I don’t know how this showed up in my feed. But great informative concise video and hope your channel starts deservedly taking off.
Perhaps googles algorithms are better than you know 😅 glad you enjoyed it regardless!
Awesome Content!!! Really enjoyed it... Didn't know it was this simple to get started with programing MCU... Love it ❤
Circuit python really does make it simple to get into robotics 🥳
