Wow! Thanks so much for the feature again, it's genuinely awesome to hear you explaining the project!! Honestly think you might have that concise description of its function down better than I have, and didn't even avoid pronouncing stochastic ;) The phrase of it being a synth that will 'play alongside you' might come in handy for me, as I've been finding it hard to explain how it plays its own music but still needs significant input (by design).

Thanks for all the support, cool to hear you've been waiting for it! It has certainly been long in development... 

The BioAmps look REALLY interesting! I'd love to make some kind of instrument controlled by ECG signals, that's really cool that they've made them so accessible in that breakout board. Could even be used for people who would find it hard to physically control an instrument normally, or even people playing more than one instrument at once!

PS - I am of the evil silent h clan, so it's 'Caris', thanks for not assuming! haha

Thank you so much for featuring BioAmp EXG Pill 😊

The servo motor in a stepping motor frame size is a brilliant idea! I see there are similar ones out there with integral gearboxes so you can swap speed for torque.

Hi! first time watching your videos. This seems like an excellent way point people to exciting projects.

I tried following the discord link but it isn't working 🙁

This is the first sponsored recommended video ive ever clicked, and it was worth it

I'd have to use the #remodo to set up a home music system to control my various smart speakers. Spotify doesn't seem to control both Echo and Google devices at the same time (currently). I've been meaning to write something to control both types of speaker via one of my Pi 4s. The Remodo would be a great addition to the project to allow me to remote control my music without leaving the sofa. The final challenge would be convincing the kids that what I listen to is actually music. :-D

Started messing with zigbeetomqtt & home assistant, the remodo x would be a neat addition #remodo

[adalbert]

I would use #remodo for switching into virtual worlds (VR) generated with RasPi maybe also for visiting virtual Louvre museum

[ralphyamamoto]

#remodo would be perfect for controlling Home Assistant on my RPi400.

#remodo i would definitely try to use it with an nvidia-shield AND if that doesn't work, it would find a place to work at my octoprint rasp or my squeezebox rasp.

#remodo 🎉 it's crazy ohhh smart home technology is evolving. I would try build a RGB back light for my TV.

Maybe a remote into the chromance project from voidstar labs

I think the RP2040 is pretty cool, however I see that manufacturers are adding wifi (and in Arduino's case added an ESP32 for that function). It makes you wonder what the point is exactly. If I want dual core and wifi (and possibly bluetooth), wouldn't you go with an ESP32? It's more powerful and cheaper than all the wifi rp2040s I've been seeing. Somebody, please make me understand this logic.

BioAmp EXG Pill, so at last, many sensors + dancing makes the music ..., or a couple of moves equals a "password"

#remodo I control most of my (self made) IoT devices via my mobile (Blynk) or a RPI with LCD touch screen; the rest of my family would probably prefer the remodo remote control
