This is really well documented with lovely schematics, and the link in the github to the proper "korg style" toggle switches [1] on AliExpress is worth the read.

The code [2] is very nice as well, showing how clean a bare metal Pi Pico project can be.

This is amazing and super inspiring. I love how such a professional looking enclosure is actually a repurposed Ikea flowerpot—-brilliant.

Does anyone know how one would print the black text on the flowerpot? I have an acrylic enclosure from a project but could never figure out how to get text printed on it.

Maybe using a cutter like the Cricut or similar - cut it in vinyl and stick it on?

Hey Mobeets, Zimo (author/builder) here.

The text on the flowerpot and the wooden box was “printed” with toner transfer method. It’s a super simple process: you print the text flipped with a laser printer and use toner transfer solution and rub the text on the surface.

I used this solution for it (hope it’s fine to share it): https://ideahobby.eu/product/10556/express-transfer-20ml-p32...

Here’s a video how it’s used: https://youtu.be/tsc7cHJ98pQ?si=cZ0b0W0ajJjQE1gf
