Screen Raspberry Pi LEGO Brick
Aside from Raspberry Pi-powered tank simulators, you could also use the tiny compute module to create a LEGO brick with an embedded screen. More specifically, an OLED screen and a RP2040 module that required the PCB used to be fabricated in four interlocking sections that form a brick computer of sorts.



For additional functionality, an accelerometer was also installed before the four sections were soldered together using 3D-printed jigs. An RP2040 isn’t exactly the most powerful chip, as it only features six independent banks of RAM and a fully connected switch at the heart of its bus fabric. The end result is something that shows the possibilities of future LEGO sets more so than a screen that you can actually use for gaming or streaming, just like this Macintosh Classic II that received an E-ink display powered by Raspberry Pi.
