I've been having some success getting Picos to play audio through a bluetooth speaker. @gadgetoid.com also mentioned mp3 on Pico would be worth looking into. So I dusted off the old PicoVision, and made a thing! github.com/MichaelBell/...

UPS failed to deliver my parcel despite me being in. It will turn up at a nearby coop at some undetermined point in the future. Sigh.

This is the moment Rej's open source Z80 woke up and said hello! After Zilog’s April 2024 announcement, ReJ quickly taped out a drop-in replacement to preserve retrocomputing and legacy systems. Taped out on TT07, it's a landmark in democratizing chip design.

I went to the park to film some water textures with a fancy ultra slomo camera, but got distracted by ducks, so here is some very wholesome content of ducklings having a great time chasing lil bugs in extreme 900fps slow motion:

This method is fundamental to how modern displays, including computer monitors, TVs, and smartphone screens, produce color images. By varying the intensity of these three primary colors, screens can create millions of different colors.

Discovered Hard Chip, a Zachlike game where you design logic chips from MOSFETs to fix your spaceship. The 3D editor isn’t perfect, but much better than Magic or KLayout 😆 store.steampowered.com/app/2844290/...

MicroPython v1.25.0 has been released! github.com/micropython/... A huge update, particularly for the ROMFS feature, and the new Alif port. However, as with all MicroPython releases, there are hundreds of improvements and fixes. Such focus on refinement!

Well done Microsoft on making notepad not work in safe mode. That’s really not helpful…

Finished the Teammate Puzzle Hunt a couple of hours ago, just a few hours before the deadline. Phew! It's been a good one, perfect length and difficulty for us. The story was good, trying to save a ship with failing life support, and the puzzles were all layed out in a comic.

I know the right wing media finds it all very difficult so, in an attempt to be helpful, this is what an actual interference with free speech looks like.

Been having lots of fun with @charlie.daft.games‘s Red Alert port for RP2350. I’ve got it working with my HSTX driver and just got PWM sound working as well!

Using both PSRAMs together we can get enough bandwidth for 720p. Can’t easily write to a back buffer while displaying though as the PSRAM is constantly busy, but can do an image slide show! The RP2350 decodes the next jpeg from flash during the time the monitor is blank.

Got the double buffer, one in each PSRAM, up and running. This is 800x600, RGB565, which is fairly close to maxing out the available bandwidth.
