MEMENTO Camera Board Users: Update CircuitPython to 9.0.0 Beta 2 or Later

MEMENTO Camera Board users:Upgrade the version of CircuitPython on your board if it is older than CircuitPython 9.0.0 beta.2.Older versions of CircuitPython create a CIRCUITPY drive whose size is internally inconsistent, which can cause crashes.To update: Copy any files on CIRCUITPY that you want to preserve to your computer. Install CircuitPython 9.0.0 beta.2 or later (download from here). Run this code in the REPL from a terminal, or put it in code.py and run it: import storage storage.erase_filesystem() This will erase and reformat CIRCUITPY, and restart the board.

The Engineering of the Gameboy

Brian McManus of Real Engineering takes a close look at the brilliant level of engineering that went into developing the Gameboy. The video focuses a lot on the specific technological constraints and limitations the engineers were working with at the time. The restrictions forced the engineers to get highly creative. One great example is how the engineers used pulsating pixels to create the screen’s four shades of green.Watch the video in full here on YouTube.
