I've finished my 4th screensaver for the @adafruit.com FruitJam OS, a weather clock showing current date, time, temperature and a weather condition icon. Background shows day or nighttime. Written in @circuitpython.org, info is at the Adafruit Playground. adafruit-playground.com/u/DanCoglian...

listen, never let it be said I don't commit to a bit

ConsensualDickWhistles.com joins our unhinged horde of URLs, next to TootTootMotherfucker.com

Anyway, now that we have our supply on lock, some of the whistle goblins are really enjoying getting to branch out into custom requests, so hit us up.

Finally getting around to playing with my synthiota board and porting my CircuitPython “tbish” TB-303-like synth code. It finally has a UI of sorts! In real time, you can edit steps/mutes/accents/slides & edit 8 synth parameters. It's pretty fun. #tb303 #circuitpython

Yep! The Fruit Jam from Adafruit is a pretty great RP2350 board. Video out, audio out, USB host, lots of built-in flash, and runs all these great retro game emulators. The Raspberry Pi RP2350 is a great chip, super speedy.
