  • This is the PR where the work is being merged into ‘upstream’ micropython for those who are interested. I have been following this side February. Very interesting to see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/10739

  • retro-pico-switch

    Play Nintendo Switch Online N64 games using an Original N64 controller via a Raspberry Pi Pico!

  • There are already some cool projects using the PicoW bluetooth, I'm currently modifying https://github.com/DavidPagels/retro-pico-switch to try and make a custom controller from scratch. Hopefully it'll get far enough to push to github at some point.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • It’s been possible to use Bluetooth for a while, but a bug prevented Bluetooth and Wifi from running stably at the same time.

    I threw together a Bluetooth speaker firmware - for some of our (Pimoroni) boards - with FFT visualisation quite some months ago - https://github.com/Gadgetoid/galactic-bluetooth-audio

    Album art display is also possible but small matrix displays don’t lend themselves well to it - https://github.com/Gadgetoid/galactic-bluetooth-audio/pull/1...
