Today I received the #PicoSystem by #Pimoroni. I wanted to install #Doom on it but now I am hooked to Super Square Bros.😅

Home automation purchases from #pimoroni and my wife is thrilled by the project. #HA win!

On the down side, I now have around 50m of trench to dig across the garden.

Dr Footleg Saves The Galaxy! Creates Tufty 2350 Asteroids Game

Dr Footleg has written a hardware abstraction framework so code developed on your PC will work directly on your Tufty 2350.

This is a huge step forwards. Finally worked out how to over-ride the screen clearing to not-quite-black on the Tufty2350 Badge OS. Significant frame boost and the game now displays the same on the badge as in my hardware emulator. I may keep the blue background splat mode as a debug tool. #pimoroni #badgeware

@rpimag I wrote a hardware abstraction framework so that I could port #MicroPython games written for a specific device to run on any hardware. Here is an example game where the exact same code module is running in Pygame on a computer where I can debug in full Python, and on the https://badgewa.re Tufty2350 badge from #Pimoroni. The game module has no hardware dependencies. All hardware access is via a class passed in, providing the methods needed to interact with it. #MakerMonday

And what do I do with all those LEDs now!?

Buyer's remorse, but fun! #pimoroni

Good progress tonight. I wrote a Pygame emulator for the #Pimoroni https://badgewa.re Tufty2350 badge app framework with MicroPython equivalents for various hardware classes, allowing me to start debugging and enhancing this asteroids style game which was written in MicroPython by GitHub user samneggs

Fully weather proofed! My #pimoroni Pirate Radio kit from around 2019 is now installed below the Swift nest boxes and programmed to play Swift colony sounds on a corn schedule in the mornings and evenings until hopefully some young birds looking for their first nesting site move in. #swifts #RaspberryPi #birds

I'd love feedback on my latest #OpenBoardsGuide piece:

I think our editor @straithe pushed me to new heights on this one! I'd love to hear your feedback! 💗

I ordered a Pico Plasma 2350 W from #pimoroni to run a programable LED strip. Somehow, i actually ordered a Pico 2 Plus W basically a souped-up Pico 2. Realising my mistake, i promptly forgot to send it back and pondered a new project. Now 4 months later i have the Plasma 2350 W and an un-planned 2.8" 320 x 240 display for my un-planned Pico Plus 2 W, so i can do some un-planned projects instead of countless planned projects. Now need un-planned spare time to do them in.
