Fruit Jam RP2350B credit-card mini computer with all the fixin's 🍓🍇💾

We were catching up on a recent Hackaday hackchat with Eben Upton (https://hackaday.io/event/202122-raspberry-pi-hack-chat-with-eben-upton) and learned some fun facts: such as the DVI hack for the RP2040 was inspired by a device called the IchigoJam (https://www.hackster.io/news/ichigojam-combines-strawberry-and-raspberry-to-deliver-a-raspberry-pi-pico-powered-educational-micro-66aa5d2f6eec). We remember reading about this back when it was an LPC1114, now it uses an RP2040. Well, we're wrapping up the Metro RP2350 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6003), and lately, we've been joking around that with DVI output and USB Host support via bit-banged PIO, you could sorta build a little stand-alone computer. Well, one pear-green-tea-fueled-afternoon later we tried our hand at designing a 'credit card sized' computer - that's 3.375" x 2.125", about the same size as a business card (https://hackaday.com/2024/05/07/the-2024-business-card-challenge-starts-now/) and turns out there's even a standard named for it: ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (https://www.iso.org/standard/70483.html).

Anyhow, with the extra pins of the QFN-80 RP2350B, we're able to jam a ridonkulous amount of hardware into this shape: RP2350B dual 150MHz Cortex M33 w/ PicoProbe debug port, 16 MB Flash + 8 MB PSRAM, USB type C for bootloading/USB client, Micro SD card with SPI or SDIO, DVI output on the HSTX port, I2S stereo headphone + mono speaker via the TLV320DAC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/tlv320dac3100irhbt/2353656), 2-port USB type A hub for both keyboard and mouse or game controllers, chunky on-off switch, Stemma QT I2C + Stemma classic JST 3-pin, EYESPI for TFT displays, 5x NeoPixels, 3x tactile switches, and a 16-pin socket header with 10 A/D GPIO + 5V/3V/GND power pins. The PSRAM will help when we want to do things like run emulations that we need to store in fast RAM access, and it will also let us use the main SRAM as the DVI video buffer.

When we get the PCBs back and assembled, what should we try running on this hardware? We're pretty sure it can run DOOM. Should that be first? :) We also need a name. Right now, we're just calling it Fruit Jam since it's inspired by the IchigoJam project.

trying to decide if i wanna sand the printlines off or leave them as like a bit of character background

like i think half the goal i want is for the overall design to look a little garage-ish and like

not unfinished but like

unrefined? unpolished, like not scrap but a prototype

like only one eye is gonna have the animated TFT display

idk WHAT to do with the other eye really, maybe a motorized aperture if that whole system works out well, or some kinda noise activated LED array, dunno yet

DIY: Marauder with Screen and GPS For Flipper Zero

Many of you would have seen the humongous ESP32 add-on module with touch screen and GPS for Flipper Zero shared in discussion groups, forums, etc. Well, this tutorial will provide you with all the information you need to build one yourself.

This build consists of mainly 4 parts. The TFT LCD 2.8" 240x320 SPI ILI9341 Touch Display cost me around US$5.50, the ESP32-WROOM-32U module cost around US$3, the NEO-6M GPS module cost around US$2.20 and an 8dbi 2.4GHz Wifi Antenna which cost around US$2. All of these parts can be easily found in online marketplaces like Aliexpress, Amazon, etc. Here is how you need to wire them up together. How you wish to lay this out or mount on a prototyping board is entirely up to you. As long as the connections are correct, you are good to go. The GPS module is optional, and mainly, it's used for the war driving functionality.

Next, you need to download all the firmware needed from here. Please download the Bootloader, Partitions, Boot App and Firmware files for v4 (Yes, v4 files, not any others) and save it on your computer.

Now, press and hold the BOOT button on your ESP32-WROOM-32U module and connect it to your computer using a data-capable USB cable (some USB cables can only charge), then let go the BOOT button. Open Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser and go to ESPWebTool. Click the CONNECT button, then select the ESP32 usb serial connection. It should look something like below but can vary a little between different computers and operating systems.

Select the firmware files for each slot exactly like below (take note of the 0x1000, 0x8000, etc. and their corresponding .bin files), then hit the PROGRAM button.

When completed successfully, you can unplug the USB cable from the ESP32 module and now you can connect your Marauder module to your Flipper Zero. Please ensure that your Flipper Zero is turned off before you connect it, and also turn off your Flipper Zero before disconnecting it. The 3.3V pin is also used by your Flipper Zero's SD card reader and connecting/disconnecting external modules that use this pin while the Flipper Zero is on can potentially corrupt the SD card. So, if everything went according to plan, your Marauder module should boot up and everything should look like below.

NOTE: If your Marauder boots up, but when you try to touch the screen and get no response, try tapping around the bottom part of your screen and see if the touch panel seems to be in inverted position from the actual display. Should this happen to you, just flash your ESP32 module again following the steps above, but use the v6 firmware. This should resolve the issue.

In this build, I just prototyped this on breadboard, but you can of course make it permanent by soldering it on to a prototype board and 3D print a case for it. This setup is essentially just using the Flipper Zero as a battery pack, instead of using the Flipper Zero to control Marauder. The large screen does make some things easier to do, compared to the small screen of the Flipper Zero, and there may be some functionality (not much) that is not currently in the Flipper Zero Marauder companion app. Here is a video showing the different menus in Marauder.

Personally, I don't think I will actually want to bring something so big around with me, along with my Flipper Zero. I think what makes Flipper Zero special is just how compact it is and all the different functionality cramped into it. This would probably be better off as a standalone unit by just hooking up a battery, but that's just me. Well, that's it for this tutorial. I hope you found this helpful.

Here's a good intro to Marauder if you are unfamiliar.

i am truly stuck trying to decide between making some digital art piece with the square display from @adafruit

or the long long display

i'm not sure what would be funnier. maybe both?

The engine has undergone improvements, including a higher compression ratio, optimized ECU settings, and an updated muffler design. These enhancements result in increased performance and improved driveability across the rev range.

The Africa Twin is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or Honda's innovative Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The DCT version offers seamless gear changes and can be operated in automatic or manual mode, providing riders with the flexibility to choose their preferred shifting style.

Chassis and Suspension

The Africa Twin's chassis and suspension have been designed to handle a wide range of terrains and riding conditions. The steel semi-double-cradle frame provides optimal rigidity and flexibility for challenging situations, while the aluminum swingarm ensures rigidity and lightness. The standard Africa Twin models feature fully adjustable front and rear suspension, with long-travel Showa forks and a Pro-Link® rear suspension system.

The Adventure Sports versions are equipped with Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA™), which adjusts damping based on bike speed, stance, and fork behavior. This high-tech suspension system allows riders to customize their suspension settings for different riding scenarios, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.

The system utilizes information from the IMU to detect rear-wheel lift and adjust braking pressure accordingly. Riders can also switch off the rear ABS for more precise off-road braking. Additionally, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) helps optimize acceleration performance by providing smooth slide control and wheelie control.

Accessories and Customization

Honda offers a wide range of accessories for the Africa Twin, allowing riders to customize their motorcycles to suit their preferences and riding style. From aluminum luggage to higher and lower seats, there are options to enhance comfort, storage, and functionality. Honda also offers accessory packs, such as the Rally Pack, Adventure Pack, Urban Pack, and Travel Pack, which provide a combination of accessories tailored to specific riding needs.

Whether riders are looking for added protection, increased storage capacity, or improved touring capabilities, the Africa Twin's accessories allow for endless customization possibilities.

The 2024 Africa Twin lineup represents the pinnacle of adventure riding, combining Honda's rich heritage with cutting-edge technology and performance. With updates and refinements across the board, these motorcycles offer unparalleled versatility and capability on any terrain. Whether riders are tackling off-road trails, exploring remote landscapes, or cruising on scenic highways, the Africa Twin delivers an exhilarating and unforgettable riding experience.

With its legendary status and the latest advancements, the Africa Twin continues to inspire riders to push their boundaries and embark on new adventures.

IPS vs OLED: What’s the Best Display Tech for Industrial Use?

IPS vs OLED: Which Display Technology Is Better for Industrial Use?

When building industrial systems such as medical monitors, factory HMI panels, or transportation dashboards, choosing the right display matters. Two of the most widely used technologies are IPS (In-Plane Switching) and OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). But which one is better for embedded and industrial applications?

Key Differences Between IPS and OLED Displays

IPS displays offer excellent color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and long lifespans.

OLED displays provide deeper blacks and higher contrast but may suffer from screen burn-in and shorter lifespans.

Lamborghini Huracán Spyder Black: The Dark Side of Perfection

Some cars whisper luxury. Some shout performance. And then there’s the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder in Black — a machine that doesn’t need to say a word to command attention. It speaks through its design, its sound, and the pure, visceral experience it delivers every time you press the throttle.

This isn’t just a convertible. It’s a statement. It’s a symphony of Italian engineering and bold design — and in black, it’s even more seductive, more aggressive, and more unforgettable.

The Black Beast Unleashed

From the moment the Huracán Spyder in black pulls up, all eyes are on it. There's something deeply magnetic about the combination of Lamborghini’s iconic lines and a matte or glossy black finish. It’s stealthy. It’s sleek. It’s like a predator moving in silence until it roars.

Best deal for you: Lamborghini Huracan Spyder Black

The black paint emphasizes every sculpted curve and aerodynamic crease on the car’s body. It's both elegant and menacing — the kind of car you don’t just drive, but wear like a tailored suit made from carbon fiber and adrenaline.

And when you lower the top, you invite the world to see exactly what you're about.

Performance with No Apologies

At the heart of the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder is a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, delivering an astounding 610 horsepower (in the LP610-4 version) and 413 lb-ft of torque. This allows the car to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of over 201 mph — even with the top down.

Whether you're navigating tight city corners or flying down the highway, the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel-drive system keep you firmly in control. The exhaust note, raw and musical, echoes through tunnels like a war cry. It’s not just about getting from point A to B — it’s about making every moment behind the wheel unforgettable.

In black, this power feels even more potent. Like a panther poised to pounce, the black Huracán Spyder is about precision and presence, not just speed.

An Open-Top Experience Like No Other

There’s a reason the Huracán Spyder is one of the most sought-after convertibles in the world. Lower the roof, and you’re instantly connected to your surroundings — the sky above, the road below, the sound of the engine wrapping around you like a soundtrack designed by Lamborghini’s finest.

With the soft-top roof opening in just 17 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph, spontaneity is always in reach. Sunset drive on the coast? Flip the switch. Rolling into a luxury hotel valet? Let the world see you, and hear that V10 as the roof folds away like a disappearing act.

Top down, black body shimmering, engine roaring — this isn’t just driving. It’s a performance.

Interior Crafted for Emotion

Step inside the Huracán Spyder, and the black-on-black design theme continues. Lamborghini doesn’t do minimal — they do dramatic. The cockpit is a fighter-jet-inspired haven, with angular lines, switches, and displays designed to ignite your inner pilot.

Premium materials like Alcantara, leather, and carbon fiber wrap around you, while the digital TFT display changes based on your selected driving mode — Strada (street), Sport, or Corsa (track).

Every detail inside serves a purpose: to amplify your senses. From the red flip-up ignition switch to the sculpted paddle shifters, this is more than a cabin — it’s a command center for high-speed elegance.

Black — The Color of Mystery and Power

Choosing a black Lamborghini Huracán Spyder is a deliberate move. It’s not for those who want to blend in — it’s for those who want to dominate without saying a word. Black symbolizes power, sophistication, and mystery. It makes the bold lines of the Huracán even more aggressive, and its presence more commanding.

In daylight, it gleams like a polished weapon. At night, it blends into the shadows — until the headlights flash and the V10 howls, turning silence into spectacle.

For high-profile clients, celebrities, or anyone looking to make an impression, black is the go-to. It pairs perfectly with red brake calipers, carbon accents, or even a luxury watch on your wrist.

The Rental Experience: Why Choose the Huracán Spyder in Black?

Looking to rent a car that turns heads and transforms moments? The Lamborghini Huracán Spyder Black is the ultimate luxury rental experience.

Whether it’s for a:

Luxury weekend getaway

Wedding entrance in unforgettable style

Birthday or anniversary surprise

Music video or high-end photoshoot

Miami, LA, or Monaco cruise

...this car checks every box.

You’re not just renting a Lamborghini. You’re renting the drama, the soundtrack, the feeling. And in black, you’re guaranteed to leave a mark.

Luxury clients often choose black for its timeless appeal. It matches tuxedos, designer dresses, five-star hotels, and champagne celebrations. It’s the color of power and discretion — the perfect balance between loud and refined.

Lamborghini vs. the Rest

The Huracán Spyder competes with convertibles like the Ferrari 488 Spider, McLaren 720S Spider, and Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Each has its strengths, but the Huracán brings something the others can’t quite match — emotion.

The driving feel is more engaging. The engine note is more primal. And the design? Nothing else on the road comes close to the exotic lines of a Lamborghini — especially when painted in black.

Who Should Drive the Black Huracán Spyder?

This car is for the bold, the confident, the leaders. It’s for those who don’t just want to be seen — they want to be remembered. Entrepreneurs, influencers, celebrities, dreamers — if you're stepping into the spotlight or making a milestone moment count, the black Huracán Spyder is your perfect co-star.

It’s for those who believe driving isn’t transportation — it’s emotion.

Final Words: The Spyder That Owns the Night

The Lamborghini Huracán Spyder Black is more than a car. It’s a masterpiece of power, style, and freedom — wrapped in the world’s most iconic color. With its top-down thrills, jaw-dropping design, and unmistakable sound, it delivers an experience no other vehicle can replicate.

Rent it. Drive it. Live it.

Because some cars change your location. But this one? It changes your life.
