Improved the light sequence on the #BlueBrixx Stargate on Planet set, and more importantly added sounds via the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX! 🔊
Chris Parrott@zodiusinfuser.bsky.social · 3mo agoRecently got the #BlueBrixx Stargate on Planet set, and just had to light it up using one of my @pimoroni.com Tiny FX boards! Here's my first attempt at the dialling sequence.

Got the Lego USS Enterprise D and need a custom red alert system? That was my first project using Pimoroni's TinyFX W. At the press of a button it will illuminate five RGB LEDs and play a red alert klaxon. I've not built the Enterprise, yet! youtu.be/ZD6z6gK62_I

We sent our new shipmate, Les, a TinyFX W Starter Kit to play with and he made a Star Trek red alert effect for his Lego Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise…

On the way home from Tramlines, I popped into @pimoroni.com towers for a visit and showed off the Giant Unicorn Hat. A big thank you to Pimoroni for supporting me with this madness. I thought it was fitting to take some photos in the factory. Plus it was nice to catch up with Jon, Paul and crew

Met an old post-grad colleague today visiting from Brazil, and got to check out the @shefrobotics.bsky.social lab again. I'm amazed my PhD robot is still out on display! A little bit sun kissed, but still looks functional. I'd do so many things differently if I were to do it now 😅
