De muziek van DEAF8 is mede tot stand gekomen met behulp van artificiële intelligentie. Dat vermeld ik niet alleen uit transparantie, maar ook uit respect voor de ambachtelijke waarde van menselijke creatie. Ik ben me er ten volle van bewust dat AI een bedreiging kan vormen voor echte musici, componisten en uitvoerders -mensen die hun ziel, hun adem, hun imperfectie en hun emotie in elke noot leggen. [*]

90 years after the previous title, it has finally happened: USG has secured a well-deserved new championship title after the most spectacular series ever played in the history of the playoffs.

Arduino Proto Shield even better!

Last blog post I introduced you to the Arduino Proto Shield, a great solution for Arduino development. Thanks to the extra prototyping areas with soldering pads I was able to even improve the functionality of the board!

This is what I added

• extra male headers next to all I/O and power pins
• added serial/I2C/IIC adapter board LCD1602 to be able to control the LCD+backlight with only 2 I/O-pins + LCD pin reassignment via jumpers (control + power + backlight)
• DS1307 real time clock + 24C32 EEPROM-pcb
• MCP23017 chip on free soldering pads under LCD display -> 16 extra I/O-ports!
• buzzer on free soldering pads under LCD display
• 6 extra Grove compatible IIC-connections (4 female + 2 male; next to buttons) for easy connection with the popular Grove brick modules
• extra connection for external LCD backlight and buzzer control
