Freesound Drum Machine Freesound is an amazing sample library with thousands of user-uploaded sounds. Many of them are amazing and useful sound effects. Many others are hilarious and silly home recordings. This toy lets you (try to) make music from that chaos.

MOVED TO: https://www.val.town/x/michaelwschultz/frame Gathers information and returns an image of this val Why I'm using this val for my 3-color e-ink display run by a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The Pi runs a cron job that tell's it
to fetch this url twice a day and render it to the display. Works like a charm. Right now I'm not displaying much but I'm going to keep iterating on what type of information I want to display. How I'll post more info on my set up here later if you want to try something similar. But I assume this workflow could
be used for lot's of different projects that don't have a ton of compute or where you don't want to learn how to
actually draw things to a screen like all the e-ink display libraries.
