How to Build a Cheap Vibration Generator for Physics Experiments using a Raspberry Pi Pico W

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to build a cheap vibration generator using Raspberry Pi Pico W. We have used it for a A-Level Physics Experiment. With step-by-step instructions and detailed explanations, we'll guide you through the process of building your own vibrating machine from scratch. You'll learn how to set up the Raspberry Pi Pico board, connect the necessary components, and program it to generate different vibration patterns. We'll also provide you with useful tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your DIY vibration device. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, this tutorial is a great way to explore the possibilities of Raspberry Pi Pico and build a useful device for your projects. So join us and let's get started!

I am a school technician, I have ordered the parts to make. Your set up up is saving me over £200 to give our physics A level students use or this. Brilliant video🤑

Wonderful project. I'll be trying it out in school with my students. Good work.

If only all YouTube videos were this good. Thanks for sharing your project.

I just noticed this video, must have missed it earlier. This is a very cool project. I have a Pico but haven’t done anything with it yet. This will also give me experience using some new kinds of components as well. Thanks!

Actually, I'm impressed ! Very good job and thanks for all the tips :-)

Fantastic work you 3 did and the explanation was clear and precise as well. I like techie projects especially with the pi products. Keep up the hard work and look forward to some other projects you have.

Very cool. The black eye was a nice touch. Need time DUCK! 😎 I am playing with the MPU6050 XYZ module to detect vibration and acceleration. ⛷ Thank you.

Good to see you back!

Nice project. I suspect you found the speaker to be a much better vibration transducer than the solenoid. The solenoid plunger has so much mass that it probably limits the highest frequency to a reasonably low value.

How does the pico w wifi compare to the ESP8266 or ESP32?

Hey i also made chladni plate . But it is not resonating above 600 hz whats the issue
