It's alive! The Pico Producer (new name) is assembled! 12 buttons and LEDs hooked up to a @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPiPico acting as a HID device using Circuit Python!

@johnwithbeard @Raspberry_Pi We did indeed!!

@kevsmac @Raspberry_Pi Thanks Kevin! Makes me want to DIY myself a tracking telescope rig...

Making use of my @Raspberry_Pi Timelapse camera to grab a timelapse of the clear almost full moon tonight. (Waxing Gibbous)

[Pete Gallagher - Azure #MVPBuzz @pete_codes]

@Raspberry_Pi The software is here FYI...

@Raspberry_Pi Thanks! First time is managed to hook up the telescope to the HQ camera...

[Pete Gallagher - Azure #MVPBuzz @pete_codes]

@martinwoodward Yup... Spotted the incident earlier today... Looked serious enough... Hoping for less cups going forward!

@dracan Loved this episode... Such a blast!

Thanks, Microsoft and @codemillmatt, for having us on your AI show. Happy to talk about .NET developer productivity with AI!

Developers need to bring context to AI tooling to ship with confidence. Thankfully, several techniques can help getting exactly what devs want out of agentic workflows. MCP tools, skills, and custom agents are all easy to wire up with .NET tooling.

I created a @Raspberry_Pi Solar Eclipse time-lapse camera using a Raspberry Pi 5, an HQ camera with a 50mm lens, a Pi Touch Display 2 and I coded a Python app to hook it all together.

The repo is here...

Remember the Inception levels I reached with the Pico 1? Well, the new RP2350 (@Raspberry_Pi Pico 2) silicon just raised the bar. 🚀
Running MicroPython natively on iPadOS inside iCircuit, pushing the PIO to generate real-time PWM. Zero latency between the emulator and the analog UI. 🧵👇
