#pimoroni — Public Fediverse posts

It looks beautiful at 480x480 resolution on the #pimoroni #presto but it runs so slowly at this resolution on the RP2350

This is a promising start to porting my run anywhere graphics apps to the #Pimoroni #presto. My basic graphics template is running using the QwSTpad controller for input. I should be able to get Asteroids running now.

Is anyone out there using the #Pimoroni cases? Are you having issues with the second NVME, or even the OLED?
I have three of these cases and they're proving to be a pain...

At #EMFCamp still?

Look out for our "puzzle" cards, be amused by Python being silly, find the URL, enter your details to be in the draw for a #Pimoroni Tufty badge with STEM kit.

Looking for work? Dev, test, QARA, data, physiotherapy... Check us out: https://flok.health/careers — we're Cambridge (UK) based, with 4 days on-site — we're a small mob, recently series A funded, and have our tech deployed with NHS trusts right now, really helping people, and improving waiting lists. It's nice to do something that has a meaningful measurable impact.

My travels today have taken me through the lounge, the bars, and #nullsector.

Flok Health, NOT a subsidiary of @polybio

If you spot these cards floating around #EMFCamp they're a little "puzzle" set (really just some "fun" Python language silliness) which will lead you to a URL where you can submit your personal details for nefarious purposes…a prize draw for a #Pimoroni "Tufty" badge. [Prize will be drawn next week, then all data collected will be deleted.]

Both in the name of profile raising for my little employer (Flok) and as part of a bit of a recruitment drive for the sorts of smart folks who get things done who can be found at EMF! https://flok.health/careers — in my area I am mainly looking for software devs, but we're hiring across a whole variety of departments.

We're a recently Series-A funded small startup mainly working with the NHS in the physiotherapy area (we are a care provider and half my colleagues are physiotherapists, it's really interesting & different.)

(There was going to be a mini jobs fair, but that seems to have dropped thru the cracks of us all being a bit busy!)

Added a visor to the top of the LCD and now it's giving Weyland-Yutani vibes 👾

I uploaded the model for the "Don't Panic Cyberdeck" to Printables.

Let me know if you make one. Enjoy!

Tufty2350 LCD Badge: A Review

The Tufty2350 LCD badge is a 2.8 inch screen with a rechargeable battery in a sturdy case and a lanyard so you can hang it around your neck

In this article I'll look at the Tufty2350 LCD badge, some features about the badge, and then how to create a custom badge application.

Damn. The shipping for the #pimoroni Badgeware Tufty from #adafruit is between a third and just over half of the price of the Tufty itself as UPS is the only shipping option (afaics). Probably because of the battery. Pity they don't have a pickup window as their factory is less than a mile and a half from me

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.

I made it onto the #Pimoroni blog!

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! 💗
