My BFF wanted to have some light-up eyes for a costume that she's making, specifically ones that would react when she spoke. So I made her this little assembly, which holds some round LED boards a nice distance away from some LED black acrylic. I'm driving them with WLED running on an Adafruit Mini Sparkle Motion board so it can be powered off a battery pack. The built-in mic means she can have her voice-reactive eyes too!

If you attach a custom HID device to an iPhone but still want the phone to pull up the on-screen keyboard while attached, you can have your device send an eject code (like adafruit_hid's ConsumerControlCode.EJECT) to allow it to keep taking inputs as a secondary device. I found that advice in a barcode scanner forum where they wanted to get their screen real estate back. #Adafruit #HID

Has anyone here managed to get the #Adafruit mp3 streaming example for #CircuitPython to work on an #RP2040 yet?

I've read from people having success with it, but I always end up with a gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known') when running requests.get(STREAMING_URL, headers={"connection": "close"}, stream=True)

What am I doing wrong?
