Pocket Synth V1

Every now and then you need sounds even as a VJ. So here is my tip of the week:

With best greetings by Arnov Sharma on instructables.com to everyone:
This is the Pocket Synth, a do-it-yourself compact Formfactor synth constructed with 3D-printed components and Seeed's XIAO expansion board.

The core of this project is the Seeed XIAO ESP32 S3 microcontroller board, which is placed in a 3D printed frame along with an XIAO expansion board and a button board. Because of its built-in battery, this solution is both convenient and completely portable.

This project uses eight buttons, and the buzzer on the XAIO expansion board is utilized to output the synth sound.

This Instructables is about the complete build process of this project (see the link to the original article on the end, so let's get started with the build.

Supplies
The following components are required for this project:.

XIAO ESP32 S3 DEV Board
XIAO Expansion Board
Push Button 12x12
Prototyping board
3D Printed Parts
3.7V LiPo Cell

In order to design this project, we first imported the 3D model of the XIAO expansion board, button board, and 3.7V battery. We then arranged these components so that we only needed to model the two frames that connect the expansion board and button board and maintain the battery lock in place.

Two frames with mounting holes for the button board and expansion board were modeled.

We exported the frame mesh files and 3D printed them using Black PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle with 0.2mm layer height.
