Hey there! I am trying to keep the project as cheap as possible on the electronic side, i found a Raspy Pi RP-PICO on sale at a hardware store near me. Can the software be used on the raspy? Or does it need to be a arduino?

You would need to use a alternative fork for it

#

Probably wouldn't recommend it since the Pico only has 4 analog pins

#

You can source a Nano clone from aliexpress for about 2.50 or less

#

Ah what a bummer. Was on sale for 5€.

#

Could have picked it up and worked on the project over the weekend

#

Well if you want to keep it as cheap as possible, buy your parts from aliexpress

I dont want to cheap out to the absolute max, i am trying to keep it in a certain scope.

#

Would a NodeMCU-ESP32 work?

#

Oop that has no analog

#

I would personally either get a nano or a pro micro

#

They're both common boards

It does have analog pins

#

They're the adc pins

#

They digital/analog

vapid light
#

They are interchangeable usable?

#

Oh hot damn!

#

I was only familiar with the arduino uno‘s dedicated analog and digital pins

#

Esp32 will work, needs a bit of modifications though (search fkr esp32 in the Discord)

#

Thank you very much!

#

I‘ll see what i can get done with the esp32‘s i got at home, gotta get Wled off of there

#

Where could i get a nano or pro micro with an usb c port?

#

Nvm found something ahaha

hollow bolt
#

They're everywhere on aliexpress

#

Never ordered something on aliexpress, don’t want to wait weeks for my package to arrive.

hollow bolt
#

Depends on where you are, I've gotten packages as soon as a week before

Europe?

#

There seems to be a esp32 project for deej. That way it can be used wirelessly.

#

Seems interesting, only problem with that would be integrating a charging port etc

I wont bother with trying to use an esp32
