Some of you may have this LEGO computer brick, but programmer James Brown wanted to make a functional version. So, he started out by 3D-printing the case before cramming an ARM-based microcontroller in there. The latter is what shows the screen animations and what appears to be lines of terminal code.
Very happy about this. pic.twitter.com/1FofmKbqJP

Despite how small the screen is, about half an inch across, it still has OLED technology. You won’t find a Raspberry Pi controlling everything, just a custom PCB that was printed specially for this project using a different ARM-based chip. Put simply, it’s designed to plug into a LEGO platform powered by a 9V battery. What you can use a Raspberry Pi computer board for is building a LimaTek Diskmaster floppy disk VCR.
