So. Sitting on the “can”, and I just came up with a cool game idea!
2 scouts, each with a small NeoPixel strip, and a gyro inside a small box. Each scout is basically an egg timer, you flip it upside down and the NeoPixel strip represents a
30W RGB LED. A few weeks ago i ordered 4 30W RGB LEDS and drivers. They arrived today, and they are HUGE! Here is a size comparison against a Pinoccio Scout and my business card.
Scout6050 update. Tonight I cleaned up the audio engine stuff, added back pan and volume control. I also added in an oscillascope view! Thanks Stuart Memo for Wavy Jones, made this super easy!

Scout6050 a combination of Pinoccio, MPU6050 Gyro+Accelerometer, MQTT (PubSub system), lighthttpd+websocket+mqtt bridge and HTML5, Javascript + HTML5 Audio!!
Premise is simple… It’s a wifi connected theramin! Yaw controls pitch, roll controls volume… It’s a work in progress but a working one! I

My goal is to create an accelerometer enabled musical instrument entirely in javascript, using the Pinoccio mesh + gateway (to wifi) to accomplish it.
I’m one of the lucky ones to be a beta tester for Pinoccio and just got my scouts yesterday, wooo! I’ve been giddily playing with them and am madly impressed, this isn’t just about the promise of what’s possible anymore, it’s real :)
Here’s
Jeremie hooked me up with Eric Jennings, Co-Founder of the pinocc.io project. Pinoccio is a wireless hardware development platform targeting “makers” with an arduino style wireless mesh platform. Utilizing IEEE 802.15.4 (which is the basis of Zigbee etc) they aim to create a self managing
