Desk of Ladyada – Fruit Jam jam party #adafruit #FruitJam @adafruit

In the last week, we worked on our new code-name Fruit Jam board, inspired by a recent Hackaday Hackchat with Eben Upton where he brought up the IchigoJam.

Well – since we’re wrapping up the tester for the Metro RP2350 which features a RP2350B, and has DVI and USB host, we thought it could be fun to make a credit-card shaped ‘mini computer’ that you can plug into a monitor and add USB keyboard and mouse.

In that sense, it is reminiscent of computers of my youth like the CoCo and Apple II.

Thankfully, the ‘B has tons of GPIO, so we were able to add a lot of hardware while still leaving lots of GPIO for extensibility. We’ll chat about the design as well as the Metro RP2350 which should hopefully be in the shop in the coming week.
