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.

#raspberrypi #maker

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!

#Pimoroni #RaspberryPiPico #RaspberryPi #Game #Python

going to put a #claude #ai disclaimer on this, as i used it to build an app for the #pimoroni badger 2350. mostly because their #python documentation is SO bad and split among multiple websites? #micropython

wanted the e-paper display to show an #mlb team's upcoming game time or current score. even every 5 minutes is probably too much during games. if a game is not happening, it updates once per hour.

this way i can follow a team, even if 95% of their games are on tv locked behind a paywall.

I have some #Pimoroni #BreakoutGarden sockets that I'm wiring onto a #Tildagon #Hexpansion because I have a few breakouts I'd like to use.

#I2C pins are obvious, but the connector has an ambiguous additional pin that is different on every board.

I guess I'll wire each one to a separate Tildagon GPIO. Which kinda de-generalises having everything on one i2c bus. (some boards its an interrupt out, some its a trigger in, on many its unused)

What do their official #RaspberryPi boards do here?
