Using the new @adafruit pixel trinkey as a dynamic lighting device on Windows 11. Microsoft has an Arduino HID library that lets you setup a board as an HID lamp array device. The trinkey can then be controlled thru the dynamic lighting menu. Should be fairly straight forward to get this working as a custom HID device in CircuitPython

i've been working on a project with a Pico W and DVI output that includes weather data. we're having a thunderstorm so that means a rare appearance of the pixelated lightning bolt sprite

@gvy_dvpont "in this project, i'll show you how to control the weather with sprites!"

thanks! the dvi stuff is fun, highly recommend. easy to run out of memory though so you sometimes have to get a little creative depending on your plans

@MLE_online indeed, @ecken originally drew them for a pyportal project (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/tree/main/PyPortal/PyPortal_Titano_Weather_Station/icons) and then i resized them recently for an rgb matrix project and luckily that size and color profile ended up being a good fit for DVI

@tehstu so the RP2040 chip/pico or pico w can do graphics output over DVI. this screenshot is from the DVI output into a capture card on my computer

A narrative that has to be rewritten: the American South has great weather vs. terrible weather in #Boston. Have you spent Fall or Spring in Boston? It’s glorious! Sure we have a small number of days in the winter where it rains while it is cold, or when there is slushy snow, but fresh snow looks truly magnificent. We live close enough to ski, snowshoe, and walking on a quiet winter beach is priceless. Whiners were never taught to wear the right clothes. (1/2)

@gallaugher @ecken can confirm this 😸😸 we were just talking last night about how I was so worried how he’d feel about the weather but he’s been loving it

How can you be a grown person learning how to play the saxophone in a building with 16 units. be serious neighbor

@gvy_dvpont when i was in the 5th grade i chose saxophone to try and learn thru school and my mom made me practice in the basement. i did not learn the saxophone

@blitzcitydiy@mastodon.social avatar

@gvy_dvpont the sax failure was more of a public school system failure. i've had many successful musical rehearsals in basements. if anything a basement is ideal

Still unpacking from Open Hardware Summit (both brain-wise and clothing-wise). I had an impossible amount of fun and was so glad to meet so many of you IRL.

If you missed it, here's my talk:
