HackSpace Magazine Issue 51: Make a talking Pomodoro timer with Pico #CircuitPython @HackSpaceMag

HackSpace magazine issue 51 demonstrates making a talking Pomodoro timer with a Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython.

We’re going to make a talking ‘Pomodoro’ timer that you can use to time a task. Because, as reality TV shows demonstrate, nothing motivates people like having someone shout ‘Five minutes remaining!’ towards the end of a tricky task.

The project uses CircuitPython to program the timing and play MP3s from an SD Card.
