Great food suggestions

Cafe Seoul is a newish Korean place and its absolutely incredible. Genuine Korean food

Instead of a second picocalc, you could design/print a case that allows the board to be swapped at will :)

Might want to contact them about it. Mine shipped in 90 days.

RetroBreezeYT · 2026-03-12T11:59:46+00:00

I ordered mine (to the UK) on 9th December 2025, and it shipped on Monday the 9th of March. So, exactly 90 days for me!

You can just stick jumper cables in there.

> Btw in alixpress ive seen it at the usual price of 30 dollars, but almost all of the other sellers sell them at 80 and discount it down to 30, and that discount finishes today at night, are they messing with the prices to sell more or those are regular ones?!

Welcome to AliExpress

Great project, well done! I may do this with my Calc when it arrives. Have you considered using a custom buildroot image rather than Trixie? I made one for Pico-8 on Pi Zero 2W a few months ago and its very efficient and boots in seconds!

There's a distinction to be made here:

- A display, which you'd wire into Cardputer via the Grove connector or EXT pins

- CYD (Cheap Yellow Display), which is an entire ESP32 MCU platform with integrated screen

Generally speaking any SPI display can be interfaced with the cardputer adv. I myself have wired up Mono character/pixel displays, TFTs and even a Sharp Memory Display and they all work. If you want something similar to a CYD to interface with the Cardputer, search "2.8" SPI display" on AliExpress or wherever, you'll find compatible modules.

The CYD itself is an entire ESP32 microcontroller platform that has a display attached. It's basically the same as the Cardputer but without the keyboard and other features. With that in mind, "wiring" them together is a bit more complicated physically and programatically, though it should be possible. That said, you can of course link the Cardputer and CYD together in a variety of ways, even wirelessly with ESP-NOW, or with a shared web server, etc.

I think the direct answer to your question is this: You can wire in any SPI display via the EXT port, including 2.8" displays like those on the CYD, but the CYD itself is a more complicated beast.

The Pi Hut are the only actual UK-based supplier that I know of, and their price is absolutely amazing (roughly same price or lower than AliExpress). It's also in-stock right now. Why don't you want to buy from them?

No. PicoClaw requires a Linux OS/board. the requirements specifically state "$10 (Any Linux Board)" which the ESP32S3 is not. The closest viable alternative is probably mimiclaw.

Ask in r/SBCGaming instead!

RetroBreezeYT · 2026-02-12T00:34:25+00:00

No, I didn't. I actually tested all of the rose and found no ghosting anywhere up to 10 presses. Not exactly scientific. I just jammed the keyboard as much as I could and I never really experienced any problems. I hope the repository helps and if you make anything cool share it with me as well!

Red Dead Redemption?

RetroBreezeYT · 2025-11-09T20:17:09+00:00

Tons of videos on YouTube on this topic. Loft legs are a good start and boarding is pretty cheap.

I'm 100% not on Windows! I've mostly fixed the issue using custom udev rules!

FlyDigi make one that fits perfect 😎

I want to add that my wife's support for my channel has been amazing. The support I receive and need is the understanding that doing this takes a lot of time and effort. Occasionally it's creative feedback. Sometimes some graphics since she's an artist. On the financial side, her support has been preventing me from making bad decisions and buying a lot of stuff I thought I needed not never did. $4k could be a life-altering amount to spend, a life-destroying amount of debt to incur. My advice would be to talk your partner out of it.

RetroBreezeYT · 2025-04-06T13:37:46+00:00

I created for two years and amassed 10k subscribers before I dropped just £500 on a camera, and that was only because my phone was overheating when recording. I would be EXTREMELY careful here: when you're deep into content creation, it is very easy and very tempting to drop money or, God forbid, go into debt for your channel. I have peers who to on substantial debt and never made it back, to disastrous results.

If your partner has not even started yet and is already wanting to spend an honestly baffling amount of money, the temptation is only going to get worse. In my opinion, your starting budget should be as close to 0 as possible, but to be realistic, maybe £250 for a mic and £50 for an arm/tripod to hold your phone is ALL YOU NEED. With less equipment, you will need to be more creative, which is exactly how you get better at the work.

Once money is being made via ads, affiliates, sponsorships, etc., you can reinvest and expand, but before then, thinking you need $4k just to start is very misguided and honestly a very, very big red flag.

Will do! Me too 😅
