"Kaluma Revolutionizes RP2040 with JavaScript Integration"

Kaluma, a lightweight JavaScript runtime, can now be installed on the Raspberry Pi Pico, which uses the RP2040 microcontroller. This allows developers to use familiar JavaScript tools and modules for file systems, graphics, networking, and more. The Kaluma command-line interface enables easy development and flashing of code to the Pico. This expansion of high-level languages on microcontrollers opens up embedded programming to a wider range of coders.

USB-Powered High Voltage Supply

Aylo6061 has created a high voltage power supply of 300 volts from a USB power supply, which will be used for electrophoresis or electrowetting. The circuit is designed with double insulation and complete isolation between high and low voltage sides, making it safe to use. The control circuitry is based on an RP2040 chip with USB isolation for data lines. The project code is available on GitHub.

"McFly: The Open Source RP2040 Board for Nintendo Switch"

GBATemp member Saliciae is designing an open-source RP2040 board called McFly that can be used to hack the Nintendo Switch. The board is designed to fit inside the Switch and will be released under a Creative Commons license. Once flashed, the USB part of the board can be snapped out to reduce the overall thickness to ~2mm. The McFly will include all the features of a conventional picofly install, including a debug WS2812 LED and a jumper to reset the glitch timings. Saliciae does not plan to manufacture or distribute the board but will provide the design for others to manufacture.
