If you need any tips with that, give me a shout. Tiny FX is one of the products I personally developed 😀

Chris Parrott @zodiusinfuser.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Improved the light sequence on the #BlueBrixx Stargate on Planet set, and more importantly added sounds via the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX! 🔊

Thanks. I had to add the lights myself.

Recently 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…

Ah okay. I guess I should look at applying, if there's still chance? 🤔

"This gives you Christmas to work on that project that you might not have finished yet" I'm guessing the mail was meant to be sent out in December? Or was it and you're only posting it now?

For this December I got myself the #BlueBrixx Stargate 1994 Advent Calendar. It's been a lot of fun to put together over the past days, and being reminded of the story. Here's the first 4 builds (Days 1 - 5)

Related, I've refreshed the control interface of the Stewart Platform. There are now RGB LEDs to indicate the position of your hand above the sensor. Hopefully this will make the user experience better on the day.

I'm excited to share that I'll be at #AssembleDerby25 on Oct 25th, showing off my JWST Mirror and Stewart Platform projects! derbymuseums.org/event/assemb...

It was great to have you, and I'm pleased the universe didn't explode when we aligned it to reflect off my WAVE 😂

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

I've applied too to show off WAVE

You need to add the teensy 4.1 for that 😉

Where was this 5 years ago when I still developed on Teensy? 😂

I was just wondering what the purpose was given the landing is the same size. Your example is a good one 👍

On my way back from a great day at #LiverpoolMakefest. Thanks to the organisers for putting on another great event! I hope everyone who came by enjoyed what I had on show.

This may be of interest to you @listerofsmeg.bsky.social, since we talked about such a thing at CamJam

Indeed! 57 in total. Thanks go to @pimoroni.com for "sponsoring" this, aka there being a bag of 50 sample servos we were not going to sell.

All ready to go for today's #LiverpoolMakefest. Come along to Liverpool Central Library and see my newest project, WAVE in action!

Had the pleasure of visiting @pimoroni.com yesterday, it was great to see their impressive offices, got to visit the Solder Party product shelf, and we even got the second place in a pub quiz 😁 Thanks Paul, Chris, and Niko!

Thank you to the Jam Makers, Show & Tellers and our talk presenters for a great jam, some very cool "show & tell", and talks. Finally not forgetting the attendees. It's our community that make #CamJam great
