I built a simple weekend project with a Pi Pico and an E-Ink display. It uses Gemini to show a weather-inspired poem.

The Raspberry Pi connects to a local Gemma 4 E2B Q4 instance running on a MacBook Air M2 8GB (voice transcription done with Whisper-Tiny). If you’d like to build your own here’s the full build video on YouTube: https://t.co/R52VyDjMiS @googlegemma @lmstudio @PiSugarStudio

I built “Rocky” from Project Hail Mary with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and a local LLM @Raspberry_Pi

Cloud Functions and Admin SDK for Firebase now supports Dart as an experimental feature 🎯

This means Flutter developers can use the same programming language throughout their whole stack and share logic between the frontend and backend.

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

Dart for Cloud Functions!! Along with Dart for Firebase Admin SDK! ☺️

[Seba Gnagnarella @sgnagnarella]

🎯 Dart for Cloud Functions

A massive win for the #Flutter community! You can now write serverless backends in Dart. Share logic across your entire stack and stay in the language you love. (Experimental release) 💙

@hassmanm @pimoroni Very cool! I’m so glad to see you got your own version running! And yes, great ideas. Looking forward to seeing them :)

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

I built this with @pimoroni inky impression colour e-ink display ☺️

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

@PunksGan @pimoroni @Raspberry_Pi @adafruit Yeah the USB mic is definitely easier to set up

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

@PunksGan @pimoroni @Raspberry_Pi @adafruit It was a fun project! Would love to see what you build! :)

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

What would you build with an E-ink display, Raspberry PI, a USB mic, and a tiny speaker? This is what I did

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

If you would like to make your own I shared the code on Github and the 3D prints on Maker World.

💬 Gemini API (w/ Genkit) + Cloud Functions
🖥️ Waveshare 4.2 E-Ink
🎨 Custom 3D printed shell (Bambu Lab A1)

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

I’m still learning the ropes of 3D printable designs and I ran into plenty of hiccups.

If you are interested I made a short video of the build process and the "fails" along the way: https://t.co/uGcQefPiI7

A few updates from across Google this week🧵

A new full-stack vibe coding experience is now in @GoogleAIStudio with the @Antigravity coding agent and a built-in @Firebase integration.

Turn your prompts into amazing production-ready apps.

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

Are there any favourite or useful commands that you’ve discovered in the Gemini CLI?

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

I saw a video from Firebase about agentic coding with Gemini Skills, which inspired me to dive deeper into Gemini CLI commands.

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

I've put all the samples in the https://t.co/72lDYVpD6h repository.

[Lahiru Maramba @lahiru]

I tested all 5 Firebase Admin SDKs on GitHub Actions and can confirm they all work with Workload Identity Federation. Time to delete those Service Account Keys!

Dart + Cloud Run no-build deploy = 💙

Just build your Dart server as an executable targeting linux/x86, and Cloud Run can start serving traffic in 10s!
