  • Arduino_Apollo3

    Arduino core to support the Apollo3 microcontroller from Ambiq Micro

  • Thank you! Not too much really. I "ported" it to the SparkFun arduino core - which mostly involved adding some ifdefs and fixing a few bugs, like this one https://github.com/sparkfun/Arduino_Apollo3/issues/478 , and added the adafruit sharp memory display library which integrated quite well with the existing graphics support. Then I wrote an interrupt routine to scan the keyboard.

    I also had to add some error handling patches which someone had shared in the ulisp forum (because you don't want the REPL to crash if you have a typo)

  • PotatoP

  • This is great! The combination of an Ambiq Artemis module and Sharp memory-in-pixel displays is exactly my plan for the Zorzpad, which won't have a battery at all (sounds like that's andreer/reerdna/Eriksen's plan eventually). But Eriksen has actually built something, and so far all I have is a pile of electronic parts and design notes and sketches and code prototypes. Hopefully I can learn from whatever mistakes he's made!

    Eriksen's PotatoP project page: https://hackaday.io/project/184340-potatop

    His GitHub page: https://github.com/andreer/PotatoP/

    My Zorzpad Git repo, in Spanish: git clone http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/zorzpad.git

    My previous comment on here about the hardware: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30691361 three days after Eriksen's first update on the Hackaday project log. I didn't get the idea from him, but I think I hadn't written about it publicly before that, so he probably didn't get it from me either. How did we end up deciding to do almost exactly the same project a few days apart, when the parts had been available for years? Maybe the Playdate is responsible?

    As for the battery, my theory is that by not having a battery I can get much higher reliability, because the battery and the charging port are the things that usually limit the life of portable computers.
