So maybe kinda the wrong badge but my pimoroni Badger 2040 W can now show the Electromagnetic Field schedule like it's 2022! The intention is that it will refresh every 10 mins or so and always have now/next on display without needing to reconnect to WiFi/use power etc.

The 6yo and I are going to Electromagnetic Field. We’re going to run some workshops building and fighting vegetable-based robots using TheCraftyRobot #smartibot . Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

You can now sponsor Electromagnetic Field through our online shop! emfcamp.org/tickets/sponsor

No faffing about with paperwork or invoices - just a quick way to sponsor a small amount and help make EMF even more amazing.

Oh, and we accept corporate credit cards...

Jon is taking a week out next month to walk/run 280km/170mi from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. He's raising money to get disadvantaged young people into STEM careers - please share! Support the cause and find out more here: givestar.io/gs/seejonrun

You have until 2pm tomorrow to order a Tildagon badge - after that we can't guarantee more until 2026!

Order yours here: emfcamp.org/tickets/badge

This badge will be reusable at the next EMF. You can read more about our new approach to badges on the blog: blog.emfcamp.org/2024/03/18/til…

#PiWars has officially left the building. Thank you, everyone, who has contributed in any way to this year's competition. Your support and energies have been amazing. With very best wishes from all of us!

We urgently need sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!

If you have a pimoroni Tufty 2040, there is a ready-to-use UF2 file that you can flash to get everything: emulator and included games.

I just released the RP2040 ZX Spectrum emulator on Github:

github.com/antirez/zx2040

More work needed, but it's a start :)

#ZXSpectrum #RETROGAMING

Prepping for the DigiKey workshop with Raspberry Jam Berlin at hackaday Europe. Any resemblance to a kids’ birthday party is incidental.

Finally made a driver in #Rust for st7567 with #embedded graphics support.
For now tested with #pico and st7567 display by pimoroni
Hope it will be useful for someone.

#embeddedworld . Such vend. Much tech. Wow.

We expect the Three Fives kit to have a long, long life now that it has been adopted by, and is now being manufactured and sold by, @Solarbotics: solarbotics.com/product/60445

I made something to watch the 2024 eclipse remotely!

This is every public webcam in the path of totality, with a live-updating view of the umbra.

.@Pimoroni's unPhone puts a hackable, educational, ESP32-S3-powered LoRaWAN gadget in everyone's hands. hackster.io/news/the-unpho…

Really pleased with how Scorpion our #PiWars robot has turned out.
I teamed up with Brian Starkey aka Brian Starkey to form Brian². My role was hardware development and Brian's was software.

Still a bit slow but the magic is here. CC: pimoroni
