Almost entirely held together with blu tack and tape, I’ve got a very rough lighting arangement together on what will eventually be the Land Rover fire engine using the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX controller. Still need a smaller battery solution to get everything on board. #BlueLights

Prepping for my workshop on making games for fairy lights at @emfcamp.bsky.social next week! Just adding some header pins and sample code to these @pimoroni.com Plasma boards, sealed with the magical swear words I invoke when soldering my fingers.
Current builds just about done, I’m about to embark on my #Airfix Land Rover conversion, to be equipped with lighting powered by @pimoroni.com Tiny FX. Even straight out of the box, without programming the RP2040 board, I can already see the potential.

It is decided! I know what I’m going to do with the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX kit - a fire engine conversion from an Airfix Land Rover - with flashing lights and perhaps sound too. I’ll be designing and 3D printing the stuff for the back and should be able to fit the controller inside.
I've just opened the box and plugged in SPOKE for the first time and somehow I made the beat from the Sega MegaDrive game Streets of Rage title screen. Anyway. I'm tinkering with this today, full write up will be on Pimoroni very soon. youtube.com/shorts/9APfa... shop.pimoroni.com/products/spo...

Day 1 with the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX kit, and I’ve already found the rescue_vehicle.py code. The head and tail lights can be set at different brightness, plus flashing green LEDs - which I’ll obviously need to replace with blue - but how cool is that!
Luckily I don't need to take the District or Hammersmith and City tube today... Largely because I live in Blackpool. Today I'm writing up a new @pimoroni.com Badgeware tutorial. Demonstrating how to use APIs and data with your badge.
