A wild FRUIT JAM appeared!
Steve gets his mitts on a CircuitPython board that he's wanted for ages, and plops some words into Ghost to celebrate.
Back in an earlier post I was annoyed about the impossibility of getting hold of an Adafruit Fruit Jam here in the UK. When the lovely folks at Pimoroni got some in stock I bought one before the ink on the notification email had a chance to wonder why it was ink. In typical Pimoroni fashion, it was with me the next day.
An annoyance followed. It's supposed to have some screws and a little speaker for assembly, neither of which were in the box. I suspect that's not Pimoroni's fault but I've dropped them a message regardless. Now, I could use my own screws to assemble the top plate and main board sandwich (the speaker I can't do anything about, the connector's too small compared to what I have on hand). I could do. Or I could 3D print the case from the files that Adafruit provide.
The photo gives the game away. And the colourway screams Jupiter Ace at me as well.
Seeing as I had the code next to me, I had to do a Mandelbrot again, but at a higher resolution. And on my better mini monitor as well, a 10.1" one. It's dead nice.
That's all. Just a quickie this time.
