Yeah, you know, just your regular geeking out with stuff.
Actually this doesn’t give you a sense of scale at all. This little cassette shaped MP3 player is about the size of a dictaphone cassette, if that means anything to you at all.
It has a headphone socket, USB for charging and a micro SD slot too. I’m going to see if it actually works, but I’m more interested in seeing what’s inside it.
So I’m really looking forward to making some noise with it soon. At least when I can find my old Gameboy and get it charged up too.
Which is an interesting Android app for running your own web server on an Android device. So, why do it? Good question. Like a lot of technologies I tinker with, I end up asking myself just that. What’s the point of this? What useful function does it offer me? I may well end up with the same question with PAW server. I’m not sure what I can do with it that can’t be satisfied elsewhere. At least, not yet anyway. It may have one or two uses.
If I find them I’ll let you know about it.
Arduino day is just over a month away now. It’s on the 28th of March. You can find details here. My nearest event is at the South London Makerspace. So I might head over there on the day.
I do like the idea of made from things that don’t normally make music. Hence I like barcodas. The idea of making little snippets of music from bar codes is very appealing. To me anyway. The interesting thing, at least, interesting to me anyway is that different types of bar codes seem to have very different properties. So for instance, using bar codes taken from books, these all sound the same, at least the first few notes do. Bar codes taken from cereal boxes are quite different.
So I had a little idea for a barcodas project that I think I’m going to try out soon.
I thought I’d post these as I’d not got around to putting them here.
I’ve been after one of these for ages now, and I’m really taking my time to enjoy this device and have some fun with it.
