Build a 3D printed Bluetooth speaker, inspired by the TV Show Severance. Powered by the Feather ESP32 V2 and the MAX98357A 3W I2S amplifier.
This project is written in Arduino and uses two libraries by Phil Schatzmann that make using the ESP32 for Bluetooth audio really easy.
Great for playing defiant jazz, watching your favorite TV show, or sync with your mobile device. Just please don’t throw it at your coworkers, as it may cause a nasty bump to the head.

This week, we worked on a few projects: We’ve got the (hopefully final) TLV320DAC3100 boards (https://www.digikey.com/short/td7742wh). Having spent many weeks on this, we’d like to verify that we have the noise and grounding issues resolved and book PCBs. We’ll need this chip working well for Fruit Jam completion! Speaking of, we made a revision of the design with various fixes and tweaks, so let’s check that out.
Part of testing out Fruit Jam (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200) is actually using it as a computer, so we’re testing out Jepler’s pico-mac port (https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/), which has DVI and PIO-USB support. We also designed a board to ‘fix’ missing CC resistors on USB-C connectors— we are surprised such a thing doesn’t exist.
You can build a tap-to-play video player using a Raspberry Pi 5, Adafruit’s NFC Breakout and NFC cards. Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/nfc-raspberry-pi-media-player
To play a movie, just tap an NFC card over the 3D printed case. A python script runs code that launches movies in the VLC media player.
The NFC cards are fitted inside a 3D printed case inspired by VHS cassette tapes.
This project aims to make the movie watching experience more special by creating a physical experience. No streaming networks or wifi necessary!

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/chinese-dragon-puppet-with-motion-reactive-flame-effect/overview
Make a Chinese Dragon puppet with a dramatic flame LED effect. The lights are motion-reactive so he lights up when you shake him. This project uses an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with a built-in motion sensor and NeoPixel LED lights. The code is written in Microsoft MakeCode, an easy-to-use drag and drop code editor. (Or maybe in this case, a dragon-drop code editor.)
This is an easy beginner-level project that involves a little bit of soldering. You can download our code sample, or learn to make your own flame effects. This is a fantastic project to do with kids.
