When it comes to making things with a Raspberry Pi Pico, a light switch hardly seems like a noteworthy idea. However, maker and developer Guy Dupont has absolutely hit a home run with this awesome trackpoint light switch dimmer. Not only does it bring new purpose to the classic ThinkPad trackpoint (also known as a "nubbin") but also uses our favorite microprocessor—the RP2040.
As cool as this project is, it's worth noting that this isn't something we recommend replicating at home. The process involves tinkering with the electrical wiring for the light circuit in your home which can be extremely dangerous. Don't try this at home!
