Folks may be familiar with our HalloWing M4 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4300) fancy eyeballs demo code - it's very dependent on the wired-up hardware. But of course, with our new round displays (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6178), we wanted to try wiring one up to see how it looks. That ended up being 2 days of hacking, but at least it's done now - we've refactored the code to support an...

Coming soon! We were catching up on a recent Hackaday hackchat with Eben Upton (https://hackaday.io/event/202122-raspberry-pi-hack-chat-with-eben-upton) and learned some fun facts: such as the DVI hack for the RP2040 was inspired by a device called the IchigoJam (https://www.hackster.io/news/ichigojam-combines-strawberry-and-raspberry-to-deliver-a-raspberry-pi-pico-powered-educational-micro-66aa5d...

While debugging a non-working bumper car toy for BabyAda, we determined that the vendor, for some reason, provided a 24V DC power adapter when the battery is 12V and should be charged only up to 15V max! Uh-oh, it's time to fix it up. Let's head over to DigiKey to get a new 12V lead-acid battery that is the same size and shape so we can swap it in and recycle the old one. See the chosen part on Di...

BabyAda's bumper car toy stopped working after overnight charging - turns out 24V charger + 12V battery = problems. Quick fix: replaced battery with correct one from DigiKey. Pro tip -Always check voltage compatibility!
