Almost entirely held together with blu tack and tape, I’ve got a very rough lighting arangement together on what will eventually be the Land Rover fire engine using the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX controller. Still need a smaller battery solution to get everything on board. #BlueLights

Wrote about our #EMFCamp project on @pimoroni.com : It takes a village to (checks notes) build a swarm of sound reactive jellyfish learn.pimoroni.com/article/buil...

I've been tinkering with #FreeCAD and a recently acquired Prusa CoreONE+ 3D printer to deisng and build layered trays that pack your electronics projects inside @pimoroni.com brand loot boxes! www.printables.com/model/177490... Yes, I am remarkably happy with how they came out!

Prepping for my workshop on making games for fairy lights at @emfcamp.bsky.social next week! Just adding some header pins and sample code to these @pimoroni.com Plasma boards, sealed with the magical swear words I invoke when soldering my fingers.

Current builds just about done, I’m about to embark on my #Airfix Land Rover conversion, to be equipped with lighting powered by @pimoroni.com Tiny FX. Even straight out of the box, without programming the RP2040 board, I can already see the potential.

New Pimoroni learn guide! @biglesp.bsky.social has written a follow up smart home guide. This time he has made his living room smart with a series of Sonoff smart plugs and a button called "The Orb". learn.pimoroni.com/article/buil... #smarthome #sonoff #homeassistant

New tutorial! Build a thermal camera with a @pimoroni.com Tufty 2350 and an MLX90640 thermal camera breakout. Now your conference badge can do more than tell everyone your name! learn.pimoroni.com/article/buil...

Make MicroPython go brrr: blog.pimoroni.com/make-micropy...

Adding a second screen to my @pimoroni.com pico lipo Xl SP/CE up your display. You could do it with any full pico, but the SP/CE connector on the Pico Display Pack snd the Pico Lipo Xl make it easy. The Pimoroni Pico Lipo 2 & the Pimoroni Plus 2 (not the W) also have SP/CE

It is decided! I know what I’m going to do with the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX kit - a fire engine conversion from an Airfix Land Rover - with flashing lights and perhaps sound too. I’ll be designing and 3D printing the stuff for the back and should be able to fit the controller inside.

I've just opened the box and plugged in SPOKE for the first time and somehow I made the beat from the Sega MegaDrive game Streets of Rage title screen. Anyway. I'm tinkering with this today, full write up will be on Pimoroni very soon. youtube.com/shorts/9APfa... shop.pimoroni.com/products/spo...

My SPOKE-mini solder yourself kit is now up at @pimoroni.com Use it to turn a rpi pico into a 26 pin capacitive touchboard and embed it inside projects, musical instruments, games controllers, interactive artworks, accessibility devices, all sorts! shop.pimoroni.com/products/spo...

The good @drfootleg.bsky.social has been busy, creating a "hardware abstraction framework" to run MicroPython games on any hardware! His first task? Porting Asteroids to the Tufty 2350! Read all about it on the @pimoroni.com blog! blog.pimoroni.com/dr-footleg-s...

Day 1 with the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX kit, and I’ve already found the rescue_vehicle.py code. The head and tail lights can be set at different brightness, plus flashing green LEDs - which I’ll obviously need to replace with blue - but how cool is that!

Luckily I don't need to take the District or Hammersmith and City tube today... Largely because I live in Blackpool. Today I'm writing up a new @pimoroni.com Badgeware tutorial. Demonstrating how to use APIs and data with your badge.

Built with the help of Claude an Slideshow for my self-hosted #Immich server to show the photos on my @pimoroni.com #Presto github.com/vwillcox/pre... I am saving up for the 13.3" #InkyImpression and then I will make one for that too.

Size comparison with a 1/72 scale #Airfix jeep, and I can already start to see the possibilities for the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX LEDs.

Maker pal @LOOKMUMNOCMPUTR is currently in Vienna representing the UK in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest - so we wrote a blog post about why we think he's great 📷 blog.pimoroni.com/look-mum-no-...

Recently got the #BlueBrixx Stargate on Planet set, and just had to light it up using one of my @pimoroni.com Tiny FX boards! Here's my first attempt at the dialling sequence.

Today’s arrival on the @pimoroni.com shipping galleon… IR kit. I love the dedication to the pirate branding here. Domo Kun for scale. 🏴‍☠️

Been busy @pimoroni.com and here is a sneak peek at an upcoming tutorial. Using Tufty 2350 to control RGB LEDs connected to Plasma 2350 W via the magic of MQTT. www.youtube.com/shorts/-ijFh...

SPOKE can easily be coded to work in a bunch of different modes. Or a combination of different ones. Or completely new ones we hadn't thought about yet as it's all run in #Circuitpython www.spokeboard.com for more info!

SPOKE is now available to purchase through @pimoroni.com !

In celebration of #MicroPython's 13th birthday - I wrote a few words! www.kevsrobots.com/blog/micropy...

Happy 13th birthday, @micropython 🎉 We’re really happy to be increasing our GitHub sponsorship to $500/month to help support the project and ensure its future. If MicroPython’s been useful to you, it’s well worth supporting too: github.com/sponsors/mic...

It can also control a Raspberry Pi Pico based logic analyser. Not quite sure why anyone would want to do that, but it's a bit of fun. And the remote control says it's an "AYE ARR REMOTE" - I was powerless to resist. Powerless, I tell you.

More new features and quality of life improvements on my #drone #synth github.com/danvincent/p... Written in @rust-lang.org runs on ✅ @raspberrypi.com 2 and above ✅ Pirate Audio Headphone Amp ✅ RetroPie GPi Case (v1) Which DAC/screen combo next? #experimental @pimoroni.com #maker

It's MicroPython's 13th Birthday tomorrow! 🎂 To celebrate get up to 30% off in store for products that work with MicroPython and CircuitPython. Wow! shop.pimoroni.com/collections/...

I've taken up an editing role over at OpenBoardsGuide.com. This is the first article I've had a hand in, and it would mean a lot to get your feedback. If you are afraid of being too mean publicly, roast me via whatever contact method you have for me. www.openboardsguide.com/pimoroni-bad...

I have built my @pimoroni.com Keybow Macro pad and it lives! I don’t have much time to fiddle with it right now, but it works. Living the Pi life. #pi

I built a battery powered, wireless digital photo frame using @pimoroni.com's Inky impression e-ink screen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AknC... github.com/JamieKitson/...

Sams enamel pins work great as a touch sensors on SPOKE boards. Anyone else excited for his EuroVision act?

Skully is back... and now he's 2350 powered with USB-C! Grab your kit here: shop.pimoroni.com/products/wir...

Still something of a work in progress, although sounding pretty cool so far (if you like things that go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) github.com/danvincent/p... @pimoroni.com

We’re visiting Maker Faire Paris today! Come and say salut if you’re about! 😀

Its the first Sunday of the month - that means its a Livestream hangout! We'll also be going through 10 affordable Raspberry Pi Pico & #MicroPython projects you can build today! Pi's might have gone up in prices, but Picos are unaffected. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuQY...

As promised, here's a quick write up of how my eink badge from @pimoroni.com that I wore at #AtmosphereConf worked.

These colour E-ink displays are really neat! @pimoroni.com @raspberrypi.com @adafruit.com

The @pimoroni.com Tufty 2350 Makes a nice compact tool, i2c scanner, needs tidying up the layout but not a bad start :-)

Computer badge from @pimoroni.com arrived really fast. I got Irish language name badge working really quickly

I just got an e-ink badge in case I don't look like enough of a nerd at events. There is a discount at @pimoroni.com with the code HAPPYPIDAY shop.pimoroni.com/products/bad...

Small preview of a web based interface for my SPOKE board where you can search for sounds, load them onto the webpage and then use the board to trigger them. I already have a million ideas for lessons/workshops/installations.

It’s workshop time again. @pimoroni.com GFX pack / Raspberry Pi Pico W/2W kits plus an assortment of other Pimoroni stuff headed out to teach a university group about sending metrics to Prometheus and @grafana.bsky.social

Well, at least I know what time the battery ran out.
