I appreciate the detailed description as you go through the code. You explain where everything is coming from, which is appreciated! Thanks for your videos!
I did a video a while back with a real time clock. It was expensive and fragile. However, I am sure there are plenty others out there to look at. Cheers! Chris
Hi Chris, I really liked your video and I was wondering if you have worked with the raspberry pico with an oled ssd1331, a video on that would be nice. greetings
HI isaiasdelgado5201 , That is not ringing a bell as a OLED I have used, however, my memory isn't the best ;-). Here is a link to the the regular webpage with has a full listing of all videos on my TH-cam channel. Have a look here to see if you find. There have been a number of OLED display I have tried to do videos on about a year ago and never could get them to work, despite being advertised to work with the PICO. makingstuffwithchrisdehut.com/ Sorry I can be of more help than this at the moment. Cheers! Chris
Hi Chris! Thanks so much for making this! I was wondering for a complete newbie how one might stream video like an mp4 to a display like this? Thank you!
Good morning owlytv , Being that it is a SPI interface I am not sure if that can handle the amount of data to display video. I have never looked into it but there are certainly some very clever programmers that may have been able to make that happen. As a side note, the Mini Cooper now uses a large, round display for their dashboard, I love the looks of that. Cheers! Chris
Hi Chris. I have successfully run your code and thought that it would be good to add the display of the current date and time on the Waveshare. Here I have hit an issue when trying to use some of the python Time functions as they do not appear to be included in the Russ Hughes UF2 file. I tried to use "import datetime" to use the strftime() function. I get an error stating that datetime does not exist. Any ideas on how to get over this? I will try using another pico with the standard UF2 but obviously comment out the display bits. Cheers Peter
@@peterwest1158 I have been down that same road on a couple of things, it is a bummer. Being that the pico is so powerful and is programmed much like the PIs, we often forget the PICO is a lowly microcontroller. Cheers! Chris
@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut Hi again, I have cracked the problem thanks to some help from the MicroPython forum. I am using localtime() and formatting the elements in tuples for each field that I want.

Hi @joelwiesner8760,
I am glad to hear that like the style of the videos.
Cheers!
Chris
Thank you for making this video. you are the best.😊
@mihailemnaru8919 Thank you for the kind words, they serve as powerful encouragement for me to keep making more!
Cheers!
Chris
Have you gotten a real time clock to work with this display? If so what RTC module has worked for you?

Hmmm, I wonder if that library exists within micopython?
@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut I ran it on a normal pico UF2 an it still said datetime not found so I guess you are likely to be correct. Thanks

@@peterwest1158 AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing that update and I am glad you got that worked out.

Make a video on TinyML and tensorflow lite or edge ai possibilities on pico
Good morning BrixBOMBAY,
Unfortunately, that is not a topic I have planned.
Cheers!
