I've built up a PCB to support four GY-PCM5102 DACs with a Raspberry Pi 5 and MiniDexed to give 8-channel audio output.
Includes: 4xDACs, SSD1306 display, encoder, buttons, MIDI IN/OUT.

I've written up how to get 8-channel sound (quad stereo) out of four GY-PCM5102 modules using the four-lane I2S support on a Raspberry Pi 5.

It's International Women's Day and a Friday, so we could do a #FollowFriday!
Do drop me your links to all the amazing women DIY synth makers and musicians you know on the Fediverse! Who am I not following that I should be :)
And here is article from Synth Anatomy from a couple of years back about some of the synth pioneers too:

Its Delia Derbyshire Day!
Go out and listen to this pioneering electronic musician and marvel at the use of tape and effects that ultimately led to her iconic interpretation of the Dr Who theme among other things.

I'm after ideas #MakersHelp - has anyone a good idea for a DIY DIP/DIL test clip like the one in the photo?
I need one for a 0.6" width chip with 2.54mm spacing and could buy something for ~£30 but now I'm wondering if there is another way... I might end up only using it once!
I have some pogo pins so that might be an option... attached to protoboard and a clothes peg somehow maybe...?
I'll need to link it up to jumper wires somehow too.

@npub1ckw…z9cs @npub1k6h…0wx7 @npub1s4q…8xtm @npub18x6…awnc They do look a bit like they should be wriggling! Personally I was wondering what kind of sound they might make - are they coated with a hard covering of some kind?

@npub1k6h…0wx7 @npub1s4q…8xtm Interesting - I don't I've seen macrame bracelets before. Looking very fine!

Here is my design for a USB MIDI Device "co-processor" for the #[0] utilising a Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21.
It is designed to be "stackable" within reason and used with synth-type io boards.
