@hexaheximal @nixfreak well, yes and no.

#BadUpdate is a "#tethered" exploit and it only allows running games and unsigned code. You can run #Homebrew and custom launchers this way but that's not gonna help re: #OS1337!

• It does not replace #RGH3 as "hard mod" (which nowadays is chipless and only requires a #PiPico for #flashing in return, and that's needed for #XeLL aka "Xenon Linux Loader" to run #Linux on the #Xbox360.

Including the #Free60 Live-DVD!

• Best bet is still to buy a #360Slim and follow @MrMario2011 , #ModdedWarfare and espechally #WeekendModder's tutorials for #modding…

I’ve been doing some embedded Rust on a Pi Pico. I’ve written a custom panic handler that will repeatedly flash the onboard LED on and off, which has been super helpful to see when something has gone wrong.
It has been thinking though, it would be cool if the panic message could be transmitted by these flashes in a way that I could decode on my mobile phone.
Morse code would be one option, but presumably I could do something better.. 🤔

Made some progress on prototyping a #RP2040 based #USB Audio interface. I got a PIO program to output a good looking TDM signal for 4 channels of 32-bit samples.

Now I can start prototyping the receiving end of the transaction, DMAing samples into RAM and packing them into isochronous USB packets.

What can I say.. Lots.

* Raspberry PI (#PiPico', freely documented and with open source toolchains)
* Expressif (#esp32, ESP-IDF is quite open, and there are other fully open source toolchains. Documented by everyone, everwhere.. :-) )
* #WCH, makers of the infamous WCH-CHV 1cent 32bit risc-v mcu are growing, and their ecosystem seems to be developing nicely. Mostly in China but a lot of that ends up getting translated.
* #stmicro; mostly propitiatory tools, but also open source alternatives and a very healthy ecosystem in industrial circles.
* Others that I am forgetting about, the #8050 is still popular, for instance.
* And, weirdly; #Arduino (forked). There are huge chunks of their ecosystem that are already fully open source and qualcomm cannot touch.

Let's go 👌

If you’ve written a Windows application that can read the Serial Number/Unique ID, or even the Vendor ID or Product ID of a microcontroller board (Pi Pico in my case) I’d appreciate any pointers.

I want to learn about this pattern where you write to a video memory area and then that gets processed separately and displayed on a monitor or VGA or what not. Maybe even something like what the #GameBoy does where tile maps and blit is done separately based on what you wrote to the video memory region. Does anyone know of any resources to implement something like that with #PiPico or #Arduino?

Two microcontrollers, where one writes directly into the other's memory, and the other does whatever processing and outputs video? I don't know if this is necessarily something practical I need to do, but I'd like to learn more about it. I've been reading about using DMA to communicate via SPI or UART and it reminded me of this.

I don't hate this usage of Ai,

I have notes on the execution but I thought I should fess up to not being anti-useful-not-wasteful-technology.

@jbz so I guess many folks will use the #PiPico then?

3D generation Hungry Robot will work with Robo Pico and Raspberry Pi Pico from @cytrontech with the same rights.

@sad_electronics @bjo Klar wenns auf Pick & Place - Ware ankommt kenne ich abseits von Reichelt, Welectron, Funk24 und BerryBase (letzte beide haben allerdings soweit ich sehen kann nur #PiPico auf Gurt!) nur Mouser & DigiKey.

• Und was ShitExpress angeht: Seytonic hat da echt krasse Erfahrungen gemacht!

Deshalb immer Testing - Sample anfordern!!!

• Ich hab aber auch bisher nie groß SMD - Teile oder gar was für ne Bestückungsmaschine gebraucht...

Would you take this prototype on a plane? #piPico #RaspberryPi #prototype #maker #hackaday

Layied out a PCB from scratch today using Kicad 9, really like the improvement. Kinda good to get back into it. It's just a phototype of a pico pad, looks like a really nice platform with loads of support #pico #piPico #picoPad #RaspberryPiPico

Finally calling this done! Say hello to the HellSplit a hand-wired, asymmetric 40% split #ortholinear keyboard with vertical column stagger and two rotary encoders. Powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico's #RP2040 and #KMK firmware

@mjdxp depending on one's definition of "computer" the #PGA2040 (A #PiPico on a #PGA-ready, low footprint board) qualifies and if encased in epoxy could be run whilst in one's mouth without risk of burns or overheating.

• Tho I don't see any particularly good reason to do that…

should I expect #mDNS .local domains to resolve in the web browser of a fairly recent (<2y old) #iPhone?

(asking for a friend that has an iPhone but I want to give them a web interface to a #PiPico thing)
