As my IoT code gets more complicated, so do the circuits required to take advantage of it.

For example, I now have a pretty capable little MIDI library that runs on IoT.

I've got a great demo project that uses it to create something that works like a sampler except it emits MIDI scores instead of raw audio.

The problem is that in order to use it you either need a special edition of an ESP32, or you need to wire up your own USB rig to your MCU, and you need to wire a rather involved little input circuit with an encoder and four microswitch pushbuttons on it.

That's not that bad, except that it undercuts anyone who is still getting their feet under them. They won't be able to build the demo.

And even those that can, it's quite a bit of work.

The creativity required for my projects isn't chiefly in making the code work anymore. It's in figuring out how to make it demoable.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
