I want to create numbers of balloon units that can breathe by themselves, became bigger and smaller slowly. Also could be controlled by a central controller.

Those units could be assembled as a wall (Right side of Fig.1), or could also be spread randomly on the floor(Fig.2).
Delay in the physical world always came with time relay transmission and reflection. The sound to the edge of the space, the sound reflected listener’s ear, later than the direct sound. That cause delay. And this is the basic mechanism of all the time-related effects, such as echo, flange, Hass.
When me and my friend talking in the elevator, his voice bouncing between the smooth surface, and some of the reflection(early-reflection) flying into my ear with a little delay compare to his raw voice. Their combination will eliminate part of the energy on certain frequencies. Which makes his voice sound…
Solve the GPIO problem on Raspberry Pi 4B
I ran a UDA1334 on Raspberry Pi Zero before, and it worked great. But this week, when I connect the same chip on Raspberry Pi 4B, follow the same installing process, there was no sound came out.
Amp Vin to Raspberry Pi 3V or 5V
Amp GND to Raspberry Pi GND
Amp DIN to Raspberry Pi #21
Amp BCLK to Raspberry Pi #18
Amp LRCLK to Raspberry Pi #19
Use this code to install the driver on raspberry pi.
curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/master/i2samp.sh | bash
After the auto reboot, run the script again.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade2. The mosquitto MQTT broker is available as part of the Raspbain repository, installing it becomes simple.
sudo apt install mosquitto mosquitto-clients3. Verify the MQTT broker is running on my Raspberry Pi
sudo systemctl status mosquittoIf the broker running successfully, it will show:

I designed a box that can contain all the components inside it.
I update the BOM a little bit.
FRS Strip: Test Swipe on the surface.
FRS Circle x 3: Test the touch on the surface.
LED x 2: One for power indication and the other for the status.
Seeduino Xiao: A smaller and cheaper Arduino board.
3.5mm Audio Input Jack: Input extern signal to the board.
DRV2605L: the Motor driver

The really good news this week is the antenna of the Arduino 33 is back on board again!
It’s been a long time since this antenna has left the board. This causes the Arduino to only got under -80 dBm wifi signal even the board is placed right next to the router. I could not withstand this.
And I know use solid iron is not a good way to bring it back, because I tried that before. After some search on the internet, I realize the combination of the hot gun and solder paste will be a better choice.

What…
I design a flow chart using the temperature to control the heater on/off. The temperature coming from a DHT-22 sensor connecting to the internet through the MQTT protocol.

The Node-Red connect to the MQTT broker first, and then the temperature data will be formatted by a function node before logged into the mqtt.log file.
After seeing the ubiquity of wireless devices sending and receiving data through invisible electromagnetic radiation, I start thinking about how this tech affects our space. In view of the fact that all currently connected devices hide the act of wireless-information transfer under the casing of the device, behind the ICE wall of the Internet. When a user body controlling a device, the cloud will automatically sync to control the user’s other device just like a ghost. When two devices are presented in front of you at the same time, the content of one device responds to the user’s real-time operation…
