Carry your Grayscale Memories with this Tiny Gameboy Photo Frame
1 min read
Summary
Hackaday reports that a Pico Slide Show project has produced what is likely the world’s smallest digital photo frame.
The device displays images from the Game Boy Camera, measuring 128 x 112 pixels, and is a good fit for the 0.85” TFT display with a resolution of 128 pixels per side.
The RP2040 brain can store up to 540 images on its flash memory and is ideal for beginner solderers as it is composed entirely of through-hole or breakout components.
It is powered by a 503035 LiPo pouch, providing reasonable runtime given the low power requirements of the device.
The code and PCB files are available on Raphael-Boichot’s GitHub.
The Game Boy Camera is popular with hackers and has been used in a variety of applications, including as a wedding photo booth.
