I lost access to the slides half way through reading them... Too bad! I was enjoying the presentation! (“Rust makes me feel guilty” :)

EDIT: Never mind. Access came back. Good slides!

Sorry about that, I switched the link. Thanks.

Disclaimer: I design and build these. And I'm also a big fan of jonahss work.

The lightnote is so cool, and the design is perfection

Fork it!

Just for context, the quoted manifesto was originally written in French (https://monoskop.org/images/3/3b/Dada_3_Dec_1918.pdf). In that version, that particular sentence is gender neutral: "tout le monde fait son art a sa façon".

I would say that that their updated quote is a more accurate translation of the original than the English translation they initially used.

That does make it a lot better, but at the same time makes the footnote even more of a deliberate statement that could have been left out.

Why?

After warm encouragement from this community (the Show HN post made it to #1 for a day!) I've decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign for fully-assembled haxophones. Wish me luck!

Getting the electronics to work on such a tight energy budget is a big challenge, very impressive! I've worked on a similar concept using a bistable display and a supercap for energy storage to recharge very quickly when sun is available. This is for more zen-like use cases, like chess puzzles: https://lightnote.cardonabits.com/products/lightnote-chess-e...

No the reed does not vibrate. It's there to restrict the airflow and to provide a similar embouchure to a real sax. Some more details here: https://github.com/jcard0na/haxo-hw/blob/main/docs/assembly....

It's running vanilla Raspberry Pi OS, alsa drivers and fluidsynth, all configured from the main Rust application (https://github.com/jcard0na/haxo-rs/blob/main/src/synth.rs)

FWIW, I just tried it on iPhone and works for me...

Actually the pressure sensor is on the PCB. Pressure is transferred from the mouthpiece through a flexible silicon pipe. You can see the details in the assembly instructions here: https://github.com/jcard0na/haxo-hw/blob/main/docs/assembly....
