Metro RP2350 is wrappin' up testing ✨🐢

This week we got our Metro RP2350 boards

https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/11/11/metro-rp2350-now-with-bigger-better-rp2350b/

back and after fixing the pin direction and rerouting

the whole thing, it came up and pretty much works perfectly! Just one component needed a swap - we were able to test all GPIO, analog inputs, MicroSD slot, PSRAM, LEDs & NeoPixel, user button, I2C/SPI/UART, aaand power supplies. The 5V supply is great, we got a nice clean 5V out at 2A+ from 12V DC in. The last thing to check is the HSTX port, which gives us DVI access, and it works, thanks to this festive turtle demo!

We're aiming to get this into the shop before the end of the year, wouldn't that be smashing?

Wow fuck multithreading

If you fuck up in JS you get a dumb "couldn't read property of undefined".

If you fuck up in Cpp you get a cool glitch effect from reading bad sections of your memory for free!

Back in November, NPR put out a 3-part podcast as part of their embedded series called All The Only Ones that looked at the history of trans youth in America over the past hundred years and connect it back to stories of trans teens today to show not only the depth of experience but also how it's not new or "just a trend," and it is SPECTACULAR. It's genuinely really well put together and handled amazingly. Seriously if you can, go listen to it

So excited to have my hands of the first proper prototype of my NuaCam project. It's crazy to see just how far I have come in a few short months, growing this from a simple idea to a functional device. The goal is to build a camera which utilising ai stylisation to capture reality in a new light. Now I can focus on improving the ai side to try and create exciting styles to use. The first prototype was causing lots of lost hours debugging due to lose wires, so I bite the bullet and designed this pcb to help me develop the software side.

Our cities need social infrastructure also

People don’t live by water pipes, sewers, street lights, and thoroughfares alone. Social infrastructure is what transforms cities from collections of buildings and roads to communities worth caring about.

In 2023, a mass shooter attacked The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, and three mothers were compelled to act. Their mission: help pass some kind of gun control in one of the reddest states in the country, a state where the Republican Party has a supermajority in the legislature. But these women aren't your typical gun control activists. They're lifelong conservatives, believers in the Second Amendment and – at first – sure that their own party will understand their concerns. In episode 1 of Supermajority from NPR's Embedded, host Meribah Knight follows the women as they enter the state capitol for the first time in their adult lives. Will these political newcomers get what they came for? And what happens if they challenge those in power to do it?

ESP32-P4 booting up and running CircuitPython 🚀🐍

Core CircuitPython dev Scott has been chugging away at adding ESP32-P4 support to CircuitPython - and today tossed us a bin file that runs on the Eval board we got last week from Espressif. Native USB is still in progress, but we can connect to the REPL and save files using the USB-Serial converter. It's so fast at 400mhz, and with 16 or 32 MHz of PSRAM, it's going to be an awesome board for embedded Python! More soon!

frontend development is so confusing to me sdggsfgdf how can people do this for a living

i could read a thousand pages of embedded manuals and understand everything but literally anything to do with frontend development leaves me with a hydra of questions, answering one question will make me question like five other things

EPOS CARD (SHOCKER)

[youboirusty]

The voices won again. Over a week of my life into an impulse project. A game console that only has one knob, one colour and one game.

Aside from the fact that using one of two input methods on the console puts you at a disadvantage, at the very least it's a cool icebreaker.

Everything runs directly on the device, there's a Pi Pico microcontroller driving an OLED panel. The crate I used for drawing sprites also provides web simulator outputs, so the game's also on itch! Touch input is still on the roadmap.
