@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

@rpimag I hosted the #HackyRacers autonomous robotics racing meet over the weekend. Lots of #RaspberryPi and Pico brains in robots, and a load of fun had. #MakerMonday

@rpimag I've made good progress on my #MicroPython RTK #GNSS (precision GPS) firmware for the Pico. I can now configure the GPS module while passing through GPS data to the USB output of the Pico. So other GNSS software just sees data as if the GPS module was connected directly to USB, but my code is a man in the middle, capturing data and displaying stats on the Pico Display. A LiPo battery maintains power when you unplug the USB lead from a computer. #MakerMonday

@rpimag I published my first #python library to PyPi.

You can now
pip install pyvlcb

@rpimag I gave MicroPython a whirl (as CircuitPython doesn't support Bluetooth on the the Pico W) and wrote questionable code that scans BLE for Inkbird ITH-11-B Thermo-Hygrometers every few minutes and relays the data (humidity/temperature/battery level/rssi/MAC address) to my MQTT server over WiFi.

I then have another script which saves the data from MQTT and graphs using RRDtool.

@rpimag I started CAD work on my first fully autonomous #raspberryPi robot. An A2 class #HackyRacer to compete in the robotics racing series event in April. I am starting with a 4WD suspension based on the #OpenRC car V5 design by #CreativeElectronics https://linktr.ee/CreativeElectronics adapted to be an off roader. #MakerMonday

@rpimag I've been playing with the forbidden :raspberrypi: .

I populated my test CM0 carrier which only has USB-C for data/power and a couple of pins to control power/RPIBOOT. Using rpiboot it boots the kernel and mounts a root NFS filesystem over USB Gadget Ethernet just like the rest of the family 😁 .

Example of Game of Life with residual footprint and competing colours in my RGB animations library.

@rpimag And whilst on the topic of EuroRack and RPi I've also had a contribution from a reader of my blog showing how to use my Zero-based MiniDexed PCB to run MT32-Pi which I've just written up today.

@rpimag Father and daughter project to see cosmic background radiation. We are designing and building a cloud chamber. Temperature monitoring is using a RP2040 pico board to read a pair of digital temperature sensors and drive a display. The rest is high power regulators to drive stacks of Peltier plates. This is all the parts laid out to help us design a case for it all. #MakerMonday #cloudchamber #STEM

@themagpi I assembled a board I designed last year for the #RP2350 to test using the UART bootloader now I have ICs (from #LCSC).

After modifying the code in the pico-examples PR https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples/pull/571 to suit the hardware I have "blink" working 😁 .

I didn't break out the RUN pin so the Pico can't reset my board but powering it up after the Pico it uploads OK.

Here we go. Auf in die nächste Runde. Ab sofort starten wir mit einem weiteren, regelmäßigen Angebot in unserem makerLAB: Dem Wednesday Stitching Club. Einmal im Monat treffen wir uns ganz zwanglos, räumen die Stickmaschinen raus und schauen was passiert. https://write.medienzentrum.rocks/makerlabatmedienzentrum/wednesday-stitching-club

Sehen wir uns demnächst beim #MAKERmonday im #makerLAB des #Medienzentrum #Frankfurt? Heute mit unseren Materialien bei der #Visionale2022 und die Kids sind ganz begeistert. Jetzt müssen der Lehrenden ran und deshalb gibt es bei uns die passenden Fortbildungen. #MakerEducation #MakerEd #FediLZ
