As mentioned by @cannonfodder.bsky.social a while ago there is a very good #maker event in #Derby later this month. If you are near Derby on the 25th October head along to #Assemble at #DerbyMuseum derbymuseums.org/assemble/
The faders are motorised and move to the stored value after selection, currently set up for RGB colour values. It's programmed in CircuitPython. The motor driver is a @pimoroni.com Motor 2040 and is handling all the inputs and outputs. #GiganticUnicorn
Further update on my #GiganticUnicorn colour controller build, now have the Trellis keypad/display working and the fader is able to set colour level, currently only a single channel is connected, when selecting a pixel, fader is set automatically to current level.

Today, I have been working on a controller for the Giant Unicorn Hat. Have written a function to move the powered fadder to a set position, using a @pimoroni.com motor 2040, running CircuitPython to monitor/control the faders and the NeoTreilis. #GiganticUnicorn
I blame @usedbytes.com for this, motorised faders for selecting the colour values of the Giant Unicorn hat pixels, thinking about designing a PCB to make it pretty :-) select a pixel and the pots move to the correct values #GiganticUnicorn
I always loved the drawings of Heath Robinson, I remember looking at his drawings for hours in my school library and being lost in them until the bell rang for class, I just found about the Heath Robinson Museum. Hopefully be able to visit next time in London.
For my next Hacky Racers robot build 'Rubber Ducky', I bought this beauty :-) for the Moxy team badge the tag line will be 'Get out of my quacking way'.
I have been a type 1 diabetic for the last 5 years or so, and this Radio 4 program was created by a young diabetic about our condition summed up in three words 'Life in Numbers'
The Unicorn hats Raspberry Pi driver limit is 50% power, also running at 50% keeps the power budget in hand :-) one Raspberry Pi feeding 8 Pimoroni Keybows. Each Keybows drive 8 Unicorn hats each.
