That is so cool. 👍

[@todbot]

Thanks Devon!

[@Willpowerstudios]

this is very cool ! so the korg can be played with midi, how. nice piece of hardware. I like the graphics on there too. are those capacitive touch circle buttons ? 3 modes to load 3 different sound samples... cool. I work in arduino but you're inspiring me to try the raspberry pi at some point. 😀👌

[@todbot]

yep, all the buttons are capacitive sense pads. This is the Raspberry Pi Pico, not the Raspberry Pi (confusing yes). The Pico is a microcontroller you can program with the Arduino IDE (see arduino-pico.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) It's very powerful for a $4 microcontroller board. It can also run CircuitPython, which is what I'm running here

[@Willpowerstudios]

@@todbot Oh wow, it's only $4 and can be programmed in arduino's ide ?! I will look into the pico, thank you very much for sharing ! very inspiring stuff.

Awesome! Which rasp pi pico pins to use with drum machine?

[@todbot]

The code (which shows which pins are being used) is linked in the description
