Inspired by Mr Smithers' own custom computer startup sequence from The Simpsons season 5, episode 14, Lisa Vs. Malibu Stacy.
- Raspberry Pi Pico
- Pimoroni Pico Display Pack
- Micro USB data cable (ensure it's not a power-only cable)
The following assumes you already know how to set up a pico with MicroPython. If you're completely new, check out Pimoroni's Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico tutorial, and install their Micropython custom firmware.
Clone this repo to your local, uploading the files to your Pi Pico. You must remove the monty-burns-startup.gif as the pico only has 2MB of available memory. The rest of the repo is approx 23kb total.
main.py is a barebones setup for initialising the display, running the sequence and then clearing the screen. Presuming you're using this as a fun addition to your own project, simply add your own project code after the call to clear() at the end of the file.
