Today Pheobe and I open and build day 5 of the PiHut Codemas Calendar (16th Dec), adding a speaker to the Pico.
Warning - there are some loud beeps in this. And some beepy music demonstrations. We get creative with a tune too.

Tonight I'm fixing a CnC board - it's turned out to have more problems than originally expected. The board is from Lee Lipinski and has yet to be seen working by either of us. My cnc has been fully functional, although I've dismantled the control box to test Lee's board.
There were questions about 3d printing, and a close look at the mods I made integrating grbl into my cnc with an arduino Uno.

I assemble a Ball Contraption I bought at a Maker Faire in London from MS Raynsford - a maker with a laser cutter and lots of ideas.
Only after making the video did I spot instructions on the assembly here: http://msraynsford.myshopify.com/products/marble-machine-1

Today Pheobe and I open and build day 6 of the PiHut Codemas Calendar (17th Dec), adding a light sensor to the Pico.
Things don't entirely go to plan, so there's a bit of debugging too.
