I made a couple of tiny TRS-80s with working displays and put a couple of them up for sale. They immediately sold out so I guess I'll make more!Adafruit picked up the project for their CircuitPython newsletter:https://www.adafruitdaily.com/2023/09/18/python-on-microcontrollers-newsletter-python-top-language-picos-are-everywhere-and-much-more-circuitpython-python-micropython-thepsf-raspberry_pi/and...
I recently assembled a @davedarko's #LAMEBOY kit, and I wrote a simple library in MicroPython to handle all the hardware on the device. Then I thought, hey, this has buttons and display, I bet it could run PewPew games! So I ported the library to...
The SAMD21 powering the µGame consoles is not a daemon of speed. With 48MHz clock and software floating point operations, not to mention the overhead from CircuitPython interpreter, it's barely enough for a dozen frames per second in a relatively...
Pimoroni has released their PicoSystem, which is a handheld game console with an RP2040 microcontroller — and since it runs CircuitPython, of course I had to make it run the Stage library as well. I received a beta unit from Pimoroni, and with help from...
Updated the CircuitPython repo to include a new option for this sensor. The sensor does not output ASCII over serial, rather it is binary data. This can lead to discomfort for some users who would rather have formatted ASCII that can...
Due to unexpected circumstances it took longer than anticipated, but it's finally there: you can buy the PewPew M4 from Makerfabs here: https://makerfabs.com/circuitpython-pewpew-m4.htmlIt comes all soldered up and programmed, you only need to remove...
I am still working on this project. Having to recode everything for reasons I don't quite understand. But hey, I found some ways to improve on the coding. It was causing quite a delay to have so many time.sleep commands to get lights to flicker....
The board is up and running and software development is making good progress.The UF2 bootloader and CircuitPython are up and running on the board. The dotstar LED and QWIIC I2C connector are both accessible through CircuitPython. Here is...
Shortly after posting this project our friends at Adafruit found it and got in touch with me. They asked if I'd write a guide that covers the usage of this application for publishing on learn.adafruit.com. I am happy to announce that the guide is now...
Today I finally sat down and got Stage running on the Meowbit. I had this very neat little console in my drawer for years now, and CircuitPython has been ported to the STM32 chip that it uses, but there was a bug preventing me from re-initializing the...
I finally put most of the files up publicly on my GitHub page.PicturesVideosPinoutsSchematicsStill need to add board config files, firmware, and get my board added to the CircuitPython repo.
there was a response to my request in the forum: with the links to this CircuitPython Toaster Oven projectB3AU micropython PID.py i have created a [new repository for my cp_reflow_controller – with this example on hand i will use a adafruit PyBadge as...
I'm still waiting for the PCBs (they should arrive Tuesday, if DHL is right), so I decided to work on the firmware a little bit. I expect a bit more work than just defining the pins to be used in ``pins.c``, because all of the CircuitPython boards that...
