People call me Daft for some reason.

@pimoroni Me being weird and liking this post instead of the one over there 😆

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

Trying to make my picovision 3d code more useful, apart from that not sure what this is.🤔

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@ZodiusInfuser @pimoroni Spotted a few in the past, though usually just placeholder-y looking names... (May read the schematics a bit too much)

Anyway, gotta check if there's anything left in the "pico budget" 🤔

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

Huh, I haven't posted anything since "pico windows"?

Out of context totally impractical prototype time:

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

Obviously, the first thing I did on my Pico Plus 2 was boot Windows 😆

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

... but what happens next? Did it boot?

You can't know because of the video limit over here.

Okay, fine:

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

Because 1.0 wasn't enough, I can now boot WIndows 3.0 (still on PC-DOS 3.3, but now with ~6.6 MB of RAM!)

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@anne_engineer Oh, this is new! 😀

(BTW there are a few earlier posts on my other account, mostly related to running out of memory though)

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

My latest addition to "silly things to do on a pico": boot Windows.

(1.0, on a PicoVision)

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@anne_engineer Well the README is at least non-empty now.

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@anne_engineer 🤔 I can probably improve on the current state of, uh none...

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@anne_engineer Yeah, but keyboard input is pretty much the only input right now.

Hadn't even thought about joysticks, something else for the list! 😆

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

@YLRabbit 🤔 That's an orientation I never seem to think of.

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

PicoVision case for real this time.

(I'd say this was v2, but it's more like v8...)

[Charlie Birks @Daft_Freak]

My PicoVision now has a sparkly case and you ca...

Wait, no it won't fit the final board properly...

(...or at least the buttons would be hard to use.)

New printer + bronze filament + picovision model + recent competition win =
