Built a RP2040 HUB75 driver 2yrs ago: 2 chans, 2x buffering, and 8-10bit BCM via a single DMA stream to 2 cascaded PIO engines. 7+3 PIO instr.
It was a naive try.
Starting fresh with RP2350. Simplifying RGB engine and refining control engine to PWM lower bitplanes, to address the min on-time issue.

Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badgeware boards, right now it's Badger 2350 and I am having fun making my own badge with custom image of me. These new badges have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, onboard lipo and charging. They can be sooo much more than just a badge, and that is what I intend to do!

It's coming! We had a flurry of last minute API changes and we're just trying to get the docs up to date... in the mean time feel free to poke at the code already on the device, it shows off a bit of everything!

I have just created a 64 x 64 pixel USB C display, the HIB75 driver is a @pimoroni.com Interstate75 2350 W.
I added an additional display type to @gadgetoid.com Galactic Unicorn: Multiverse library. Pygame is rendering the frame buffer being passed to the Matrix

I made another thing with my @pimoroni.com Galactic Unicorn, this time for Christmas.
Produced after several freezes followed by reflashing of firmware and starting programming all over again plus a lot of swearing at Thonny.
But I quite like the result anyway.

Just set up the @pimoroni.com NVMe base for my #homelab. I'm grateful for their super easy setup and clear instructions!
Boot time down to 10s from 15s. Not huge, but I'm glad to have something more reliable than a microSD card.
