Raspberry Pico-powered e-reader all soldered up and running from battery power. Looks to be about 80% of the way there, so only the other 80% left to do until it's finished

Raspberry Pico based ereader working better than I expected it would, but I have a *little* bit of soldering to do to make it usable

Working on a display to showcase what is currently playing on . Fun project with both and in the stack.

Now all that remains is getting buttons to work and hardening against network failures.

The code snippet for reading (approximate) battery levels for the LiPo SHIM for Pico didn't work on the Pico-W, so I've tweaked it karlbunyan.com/2023/07/detecti

Because I always buy the wrong thing first, I hedged my bets and bought three different types of moisture sensor. They turned out to be much more different than I expected: karlbunyan.com/2023/05/moist-m

I've had to learn about memory fragmentation on the Pico. Fun! Well, not fun, not at the time, but useful now I've gotten through it. karlbunyan.com/2023/04/lcds-an

I played around with three different Raspberry Pico temperature measuring components to see if I could get an accurate temperature display. The result? Yes, if I fudge the numbers. karlbunyan.com/2023/03/measuri

I bought a tiny speaker and plugged it into the Pico, and it worked! If "makes a noise but sounds terrible" counts. karlbunyan.com/2023/03/playing

I've spent the afternoon on something as pointless as it is satisfying: making the volcano in the board game Downfall of Pompeii light up when you drop a piece in. And as a bonus it triggers a rumbling MP3 on the Sonos speakers (which I didn't record)

Making a bird camera is a lot harder than an e-ink display. Step 1: trying to get images out of the "compatible" camera karlbunyan.com/2023/02/the-ard

My little e-ink weather display project finally has a home on the wall. It may be shonky, but it's mine. karlbunyan.com/2023/02/the-fin

Is anyone else experiencing some weird stuff with on ? Bottom line: I tried to follow the "web server on pico W" tutorials, and it works fine BUT: next time I try to connect, it won't, and then Thonny (or anything else) won't even recognize the board, and the solution is to nuke flash and start over again. Is that a bug in one of micropython's modules, maybe?

in which I discover that customising fonts for an e-ink display would be very hard indeed if it wasn't for a very clever library: karlbunyan.com/2023/01/customi

Hat jemand schon mal ein Türschild inklusive Magnetkontakt mit dem gebastelt? Ich habe zwar eine Idee für die Umsetzung, bin aber nicht sicher ob es funktioniert...

Another iteration on the UI. I'll get there eventually
