My mate Sam has been picked as the UK entry to Eurovision which is one of the best bits of news in the past few years. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a surprise! Look mum no computer is this year's UK Eurovision entry. An interesting and inspiring choice! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Spent an enjoyable evening noodling about with @pimoroni.com 's excellent tufty badgeware. Of course I hooked it up to control WLED. Such a capable package!

Now to play a game against myself...

Built a RP2040 HUB75 driver 2yrs ago: 2 chans, 2x buffering, and 8-10bit BCM via a single DMA stream to 2 cascaded PIO engines. 7+3 PIO instr. It was a naive try. Starting fresh with RP2350. Simplifying RGB engine and refining control engine to PWM lower bitplanes, to address the min on-time issue.

my Badger set from @pimoroni.com is here - in 3 different variants!! Which one shall I tinker with first? 💛

Introducing Tufty2350 - A smart interactive badge powered by Raspberry Pi RP2350! 16MB flash, 8MB PSRAM, WiFi+BT, 1000mAh battery, and a 2.8" IPS display - a whole lot of goodies in a gorgeous shell.😲 Now available to order: shop.pimoroni.com/products/tuf...

Work in progress BlueSky app on my Pimoroni Tufty!

Welp DOOM’s a thing. We can all go home and sleep now!

Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badgeware boards, right now it's Badger 2350 and I am having fun making my own badge with custom image of me. These new badges have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, onboard lipo and charging. They can be sooo much more than just a badge, and that is what I intend to do!

Badges made it in just in time to get ready for atmosphere conf. @pimoroni.com killed it on the boxes for these. Also ty for the swd port <3

Some beautiful soldering today by Freya for her CanSat team! Thanks to @esa.int @ukspaceagency.bsky.social and lots of others for running the competition and thanks to @pimoroni.com and @raspberrypi.com for the amazing kit! 🛰️🚀

Faster *and* smaller is an optimisation two hit combo! This PR thanks to work we're doing with badgewa.re - get yourself a badge and indirectly help make MicroPython better for everyone 😁 github.com/micropython/...

Just to prove it actually works and that wasn't a screenshot: (Still even less practical than usual though)

Who needs the default launcher anyway 😆

This weekend: discovery mode The Pirates did it again! Another beauty. We love everything about it, from packaging to the trendy badgeware! Great stuff @pimoroni.com 👏🏽

The Pimoroni badgewa.re team assembled! They are really pretty.

Pirates brought some loot... 🤔

Unicorn is my favourite letter of the alphabet. (These look really cool!) @pimoroni.com @adafruit.com

Is there a prize for fancy boxes?? Cause @pimoroni.com should win it. Also loooook at my shiny badge! Can't wait to boot it up and bring it to @fosdem.org in Brussels this weekend! #making #makers

We've made a family of fonts we call Backgroundese for creating nonsense text in your games and other projects! 100% Free for commercial use. #GameDev

I have just created a 64 x 64 pixel USB C display, the HIB75 driver is a @pimoroni.com Interstate75 2350 W. I added an additional display type to @gadgetoid.com Galactic Unicorn: Multiverse library. Pygame is rendering the frame buffer being passed to the Matrix

I made another thing with my @pimoroni.com Galactic Unicorn, this time for Christmas. Produced after several freezes followed by reflashing of firmware and starting programming all over again plus a lot of swearing at Thonny. But I quite like the result anyway.

Just set up the @pimoroni.com NVMe base for my #homelab. I'm grateful for their super easy setup and clear instructions! Boot time down to 10s from 15s. Not huge, but I'm glad to have something more reliable than a microSD card.

Really proud to announce that I have partnered with Pimoroni to bring A LOT of my font designs to Badgeware!! Can't wait to see them live 🦝💛

Oooh, the @pimoroni.com folk are setting up a separate channel for their digital badges (which are also getting a design revamp!). Tufty and Badger are being updated, and are being joined by the bright LED-based Blinky! badgewa.re/?goal=0_3772...

I've also updated the @pimoroni.com Plasma 2350 FX77 script, Lots of fixes to various effects: github.com/mrglennjones...

Here’s how I put together my Halloween display on my @pimoroni.com Galactic Unicorn: dev.to/djchadderton...

I hacked my conference badge and wrote an app to control the addressable LEDs from @ashley.dev's Github Light Quick 4:04 video → www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jPm...

Here's what I've cobbled together for our front window this Hallowe'en with a @pimoroni.com Galactic Unicorn.

Hacking the WiFi-enabled color screen GitHub Universe conference badge @simonwillison.net blog.adafruit.com/2025/10/29/h...

The badges at GitHub universe this year are nuts! Color screen, wifi, Bluetooth. Powered by a raspberry pi 2350 / @pimoroni.com I tried my hand at building an app on the way home.

Really nice to know that this year at GitHub Universe, the hackable badge is a customized version of @pimoroni.com Tufty, but in this case, instead of based on RP2040, now it is RP2350.

The current use of my @pimoroni.com Pico Display Pack 2.8" LCD screen, which just nestles in nicely above my iMac screen. Next to find some other useful functions to program onto those buttons.

All set up at #AssembleDerby25. Come say Hi!
