FUCKING FINALLY!

Been banging my head for about a week on this.

Solved with MicroPython, for now...

Display is based on ST7789.

This is Beampong, a tabletop arcade game for two players that I built around a LED strip and Raspberry Pi Pico.
Portable, battery-powered, with code and construction files fully open source!
It has three distinct play modes: a Pong-style bouncing ball game, a combat mode where you fire colored pixels at each other, and a musical challenge.

New embedded #Rust video is out! I cover test-driven development (#TDD) by showing how to use Rust's built-in test framework with the sensor library we wrote in a previous episode. Check it out!

As a hobby thing I'm trying to code Conway's Game of Life for an Adafruit RP2040 + HDMI stick I got recently and it has me wondering what could be done with making the cells different shapes: hexagons, triangles, anything else that fits neatly in each other, what other cool shapes and behaviors can you get with similar conditions?

I wish my ADHD would actually let me work consistently on this, this has been a fun thought experiment of how to structure this

do you like those number sliding puzzles? Do you have a #Pimoroni #Presto to hand?

Then here is a simple single-file python app for you!

So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

Made a cartridge for the #FujiNet #PicoROM prototype. All data is transferred over the bus, it doesn't plug into the serial port in the back of the CoCo. As a prototype it's still missing things and has to be plugged into a computer which is what the USB-C connector is sticking out of the top. #RaspberryPiPico #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #TRS80CoCo

I have written a simple HTTP example for pi pico 2 w

Most of the examples on the internet are broken, wrong, limited, overly complex.

Time for another #Rust video! This time, I show how lifetimes and lifetime annotations work. They come up a lot when working with embassy, so it's useful to know what that 'a means.
