I have a love/hate relationship with 3D printing. This is one of the things I love about it, was able to design and print new wall mounts for this coat stand. Saved it from being thrown away :-)

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

Also works with 2040 Plasma :-)
I have converted the @pimoroni.com Python Unicorn hat library to MicroPython for the Pimoroni Plasma 2540 W using Pirate MicroPython, almost 100% compatibility. You can find my efforts here.

Spent most of the weekend converting the orgrial @pimoroni.com Unicorn hat Python library to work on MicroPython & the Pirates Plasma board. Their Plasma library does not have a brightness function & the LEDs are updated in real time not when required, both abilities have been restored.

I have just finished making a badge for Potton Pi & Pints from an old School @pimoroni.com Unicorn hat, the brains 🧟 is a Raspberry Pi PicoW. The Pico is hosting a web site to select the current pattern display and brightness of the LEDs. Always forget how bright an Unicorn hat is when unleashed! 😎

Used the colour picker to create this 8-bit Pacman image. :-) software status is good enough. Need to make a couple changes to the function keys, currently too easy to wipe your hard work with one key press. This Saturday I will be showing off this project and others at assemble. #giganticUnicorn

I'm looking forward to showing off.... Er sharing my old school @pimoroni.com Unicorn hat projects this Saturday. It's a great making festival with all sorts of makers sharing their projects & the joy of making.

I hit a bit of a brick wall this weekend programming a save buffer function for the colour picker. Then copied and then reinstated the saved data was lost! After a bit of thinking I realised that copying the buffer, that the data was not copied just the labels pointing to the original buffer 1/2

Working on the layout for the colour sector for my #GiganticUnicorn project, you are able to change the colour of individual pixels on the Unicorn hats.... Well you will be able to when I finish the programming :-)

Fun times, cracking open a phone to replace the battery. Not scary at all 😱, letting Tom take the lead. He not worried, new battery or phone whatever the outcome 🤣
