Thanks! I am doing this for fun in my spare time so mistakes happen, there are a few 'issues' in that video but the internet is helping me be better ;o)
Hello Rbiin Grosset, I have a question. Sense the pi pico can now use on the arduino ide. Which i have been testing it on that. Do you think you can get VGA working using arduino code now?
the floating head sprite demo has a black and blue box area moving randomly in the middle of the screen for me, while the sprite demo with the raspberry image works perfect ! I think its the ohm rating on my syncs and my colors seem fine but im still not sure
Is there any way to access the serial ports on the pico in c? I haven't seen anything yet but I may have missed something. Thanks for interesting video. It's impressive that the pico can maintain a stable display with so much screen activity.
I don't think its using both cores. There are some pretty interesting comments in the code. Like: #ifdef TURBO_BOOST set_sys_clock(1536*MHZ, 4, 1); seems like a crazy high clock speed but the documentation does say it has a configurable clock and can be 'overclocked'.
The rp2040 is dual core, saw a few vids on that, mine is ordered but not arrived. What I was thinking is the logic of a computer, could the Video VGA work in one core and the second core do some calculations and interact with each other so remains smooth and silk while running
@Dave Repairs sorry I meant to say I don’t think the vga demo code is using both cores. Yes I think you could do vga in one core and use the other core for something else
The chap in the demo is Eben Upton who started the Raspberry pi project.
Seems like Eben retweeted the original video so thats cool :-)
Great update - what a difference 😲👍🤓 Thanks for doing these videos about the Pico, really interesting.
Kudos for the update. Nice to see a "feature" admitted to ;o)

hi. it is possible using a pi pico as media player core for some videos?
thanks

WOW so much better

Yes there is. Here is an example

Great!
wow.... i am aware the pico is dual core, is it using both to do the heads sprite demo?

@@robingrosset6941 the rp2040 is dual core ARM M0+.

I always found that an r - 2r network worked well...
