@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

Oh, a new version of Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars is coming next month? AND it's compatible with bluetooth N64 controllers?

We just so happened to review the new 8BitDo 64 controller in the latest issue, which also works with Raspberry Pi retrogaming setups 👀 https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/articles/8bitdo-64-controller-review

8BitDo 64 Controller review — Raspberry Pi Official Magazine

A near perfect replica of the original N64 controller, but laid out for modern sensibilities and comfort.

@rpimag The stepper motor option for my crossing gate automation is proving a bit jerky using direct drive, so I may have to sort out some 3D printed gears. #MakerMonday

@rpimag I installed a Raspberry Pi media player below a Swift nest box on the side of my house. It plays recordings of Swifts nesting at dawn and dusk to try and attract first year nesters to the new site as part of a Swifts conservation project. #MakerMonday

If a product is free, so the saying goes, you are the product. That's true in computing, where free services such as email and online storage won't cost you a penny – they just cost you your privacy. Luckily, there are ways to take back control over your data, and one of the best ways to do this is by using Raspberry Pi. Let us guide you through the steps you need to follow in order to Take Back Your Cloud.
