A retrogaming mini-console programmed in CircuitPython #CircuitPython #RP2040

Michael Bottin demonstrates a multigame mini-console based on a Pimoroni Pico Lipo (RP2040-based) programmed in CircuitPython.

The board features a Pico Lipo module from Pimoroni (based on the Raspberry RP2040 microcontroller), a DFPlayer mini-MP3 player, an ST7735 display (160×128 resolution), a PS2/PS3 analog joystick and a few buttons. The speaker (3W) is external.

Three games are included: a Pong game, an artillery game and a casino game, but there are many more. There’s also a mode where you can check the available battery level, and an MP3 player mode.
