This is my new product for 2023! Three trees (left = red, centre = amber, right = green) that you can connect to a Pico and program in micropython.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can buy it from the Raspberry Pi Store in Cambridge<\/a> and also from my Etsy store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You just need a Pico with header pins (e.g. a Pico H), a micro-USB cable and a PC with which to program the Pico.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each tree has different coloured LEDs:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Trio comes with printed instructions (crocheted blanket not included!):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also buy a version on my Etsy store<\/a> that needs a small amount of soldering for the 20-way connector (thank you to Stephen Swindley for the photo):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I sent a Trio to Brian Corteil<\/a> who made a three-button console (below) to connect to the GPIO pins and brought it to the November 2023 CamJam. Whilst there, Rob Bricheno<\/a> coded a fantastic version of ‘Simon’ for the the tree + buttons…. you can see more in this tweet and find Rob’s code on Github.<\/p>\n

@PocketMoneyTron<\/a> Xmas trees can play Simon, I made a gamepad for it before @CambridgeJam<\/a> but I did not have time to program it. During #CamJam<\/a> @rwhb2<\/a> aka Rob, did and made a cracking version for it. pic.twitter.com\/fk7Y8x2ddW<\/a><\/p>\n
