The stellar addition for this week is the p5 sketch that controls the device. https://youtu.be/SCegxG9mPH8 Intro As straight forward as it should, this P5 sketch performs as a control panel to essentially replaces the LightBlue app. The LightBlue app is…

Component Proposal

Silent Micro Switches I am all about the computer mouse game (keyboard too). I'd presume all the computer mice use some kind of microswitches on their PCBs. They might be very similar to generic limit switches, so not as interesting for the purpose of my research. However, I came across this specific kind of micro.…

For this weeks discovery exercise, I have decided to look into the devices I own, as it is rather cumbersome to try out connecting to unnamed devises that are mostly no connectable. My choices are my "Jason's MacBook Pro" and "Apple Pencil" the peripherals near me Jason's MacBook Pro Little bit of context. My MacBook…
