More done
Massive thanks to @gadgetoid.com for spinning a new firmware on a weekend! I can't express my gratitude!

So now a new look!

using the vector graphics mode in full resolution.
The button text changes to show play or pause
Long track titles now truncated.

Got lots and lots still to do!

Thanks to @gadgetoid.com and others the code is no longer crashing WITHOUT REASON! there are still crashes to code out!

I've also switched to using #Presto Vector as I can then label the buttons and it looks a lot nicer.

I am also now using full res mode as there is not a need for high-speed!

You may need to install other bits... here is the layout of my Pico
February 8, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Basic functionality is coming along nicely!
Now I have a play/pause button that actually works.

Still lots and lots to do. But this now gives me basic something to use when I am playing #Spotify during the #WFH day.

Code is nowhere near ready to share yet. Let me know if you are interested!

I have put together a tool that generates a word-cloud for my toots on Mastodon.

Would people be interested in a BlueSky version?
