One of the things I missed last week was the release of a new build with their nice graphics library and fonts, looking forward to playing more with this! github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-p

I've been collaborating with on their new . This has 2 on a board with the goal of making HDMI video from RP2040 more accessible.

The "GPU" RP2040 drives the HDMI, leaving you free to write application code (in or C++) on the "CPU". Communication is through shared framebuffers - so no need to chase the beam.

@themagpi I've been adding the more accurate SCD41 sensor breakout from to my monitoring and comparing it to the SGP30 eCO2 sensor.

On a more "normal" day the eCO2 sensor doesn't do that bad but after opening a bottle of Isopropanol Alcohol there was quite a difference!

That's my current dash and it show on a wireless Raspberry Pi with a screen.

I finally got round to put together a simple based MIDI/audio setup to play with some of those brilliant experiments by @todbot .

In this clip I'm checking out polyphony and a couple of sounds using a Pico Lipo hooked up to their Pico Audio Pack and @adafruit's MIDI FeatherWing (via a dodgy and bodgy DIY adapter).

His code can be found at github.com/todbot/qtpy_synth (I think I based my experiment on hwtest7).

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

I've been at this for a while...

After working around the PicoDV weirdness, streaming pixels from the camera through the into HDMI actually works really well! (Didn't expect that tbh 😆)

All would be well if it wasn't for that pesky camera and OmniVisions shitty documentation...

While the pixels come out neat and tidy, the colours are all wrong.
It's not just mixed up channel order. I've exhaustively tried all combinations.

Managed to resist until the last day of 's summer sale but now there are 70% reductions on many items.

Maybe I'll just buy a few more LED displays to add to the thousands of LEDs I already have

Small but significant update to lionsphil.co.uk/projects/tufty , adding much better battery estimation based on real measurements. (I did this a while back, but it needed monospace fonts to look good, and I got very distracted from even publishing it until the itch scratched tonight and I found had just made a new firmware release a few days ago including that FR.)

I had almost given up on getting the Pi Pico W to work as a captive portal. Today I found one of the Phew files was missing and another did not have the access point routine. Now I'm content. I can use this to control motors etc

Learning - don't know which is worse my sewing or coding 🤔 the butterfly is made using Wireless Plasma Kit from that is connected to an MPR121 capacitive touch sensor which allows the flowers made with capacitive touch material to change the animations on the LEDs one of the animations takes colours from (the yellow flower) learned a lot from tutorials by @gallaugher
