Wishing my mate Sam all the luck in the world performing tonight at Eurovision! I'm not especially patriotic, but he's a great representative of proper British eccentrics.

These are just some of the things already built with the SPOKE board. Super easy touch sensing for creative projects. www.spokeboard.com

SPOKE can easily be coded to work in a bunch of different modes. Or a combination of different ones. Or completely new ones we hadn't thought about yet as it's all run in #Circuitpython www.spokeboard.com for more info!

I've taken up an editing role over at OpenBoardsGuide.com. This is the first article I've had a hand in, and it would mean a lot to get your feedback. If you are afraid of being too mean publicly, roast me via whatever contact method you have for me. www.openboardsguide.com/pimoroni-bad...

Added some new Visualisers for the SPOKE midi pages. This will work with any MIDI controller, OR just tap the screen to get randomised notes! www.spokeboard.com

Sams enamel pins work great as a touch sensors on SPOKE boards. Anyone else excited for his EuroVision act?

I'm super excited about some of the web-based tools I've come up with for SPOKE. Here is a video demonstrating the Web-Based IDE where you can find, edit and download #Circuitpython templates and examples straight to the SPOKE. It even handles serial messaging for debugging! youtu.be/P2Z3_H5RIxA

I searched "data center coloring book" because I was trying to decide if I should make one and found this, from a power management company, and I don't think I can top this www.eaton.com/explore/_pfc...

I have a new page for SPOKE that allows you to edit the circuitpython code on the board directly from the browser. With a bunch of templates for different modes and tools like a scale-builder that lets you choose exactly what midi note is mapped to each pin. tom-vulpes.github.io/SpokeWebMidi...

Paper and pencil drumz.

Small preview of a web based interface for my SPOKE board where you can search for sounds, load them onto the webpage and then use the board to trigger them. I already have a million ideas for lessons/workshops/installations.

Thank you for the kind review of our The Beating Birch album! There's a word limit to posts here so I'll quote a few bits: 'songs' 'listening' 'something' 'weirder stuff' 'Recommended'. You'll have to click the link to fill in the gaps yourself.

My mate Sam has been picked as the UK entry to Eurovision which is one of the best bits of news in the past few years. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I got to explain what CEEFAX was to a young one today and it's easy to forget how far ahead that was. We had interactive TV in 1974 with the latest news and weather and sports results. I vaguely remember it having games? Or was it jokes/quizzes?

I am also curious as to who is reviewing albums nowadays as its been so long since I released anything worthwhile that I'm very out of the loop. thebeatingbirch.bandcamp.com/album/kora-h...

For your #bandcampfriday considerations. Our new album. Its been described by my mum as 'good'. thebeatingbirch.bandcamp.com/album/kora-h...

The Transport For London traffic cameras are finally back online, which means CamJam is working again! jonty.co.uk/camjam

Spoke is a GREAT midi/touch controller that I'm so glad I backed on KS. Looks cute too and great packaging (I know it's a small thing, but who doesn't love good packaging?)

Kickstarter pledges for my spoke board are now out in the wild and its both very very exciting and also a bit nerve wracking.

It took us 5 years or so, but we finally finished and are releasing our The Beating Birch debut album. It's the start of a story about Hope. thebeatingbirch.bandcamp.com/album/kora-h...

This is pretty big news in thr musicy tech world!

The discussion in the UK about Indefinite Leave to Remain is infuriating. It's not easy to get ILR. It's not cheap either. The test for it is difficult too. I made all my colleagues take the test when my wife applied, including an ex-army veteran who was a member of the royal guard, we all failed.

Currently running all my unfinished compositions from the past 4 years through @timexile.com Finalist in order to actually FINISH AND RELEASE songs that have been dormant because I haven't had time to do the last steps. Thank you TIm and team for such a great product!

Autism was first described in 1942. Paracetemol was first released in 1950, (1956 in UK). Tylenol not until 1955. This post was sponsored by Go Fuck Yourself.

Im showcasing some of my work at this little museum in London called the V&A this weekend as part of the Digital Design Weekend. Pop down if you can. It's a free event and an amazing museum.

Exciting SPOKE update! Spent the day up at @pimoroni.com headquarters finalising the board and working out the kinks. Almost ready to go!

Dear #BBCNews. You are allowed to not report on everything Reform says just like you don't report on everything the Greens or Lib Dem have to say. Thanks.

They have 4 MPs. We are four years away from a GE. Yet our broadcast media is talking like they’re a government in waiting? This over platforming must end and end now! We have other parties and they must be heard. Sign here now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely inspiring, defiant sounds -- from Ukrainians and as expressions of global solidarity, across struggles. Music to beat back the darkness.

Anyone else here looking forward to the women's rugby world cup?

Oh shit. This one hits. I was at their first London gig when they supported High on Fire and met them all most times they came play here. Top blokes. Remission remains one of my favourite albums.

I use my JUMBO PICO in my classroom to explain the gpio. It's a great teaching tool!
