SUMMARY:👾 HDMI Video Throwie Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you’ll use a Pi Pico microcontroller to send low-res (320×240) digital video to an HDMI display. Despite its limitations\, the cool thing about this device is that it’s inexpensive enough that you can plug it in somewhere (perhaps a wall of TVs at an electronics store) and leave it behind for prank/art/propaganda purposes. The term “throwie” usually refers to a battery-powered device such as an LED light or radio transmitter with magnets on the back\, tossed onto a high metal surface where it can’t easily be reached. \nYour Pi Pico will generate video in the DVI-D format rather than the newer HDMI standard. But because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI-D\, your device should work with any HDMI monitor or TV. \nHere’s what’s in the kit:\n\nPi Pico board w/ microUSB port\nPico DVI video sock\ninsulated wire (4″)\nheat shrink tubing (3″)\n\nHere’s what else you’ll need:\n\nHDMI cable\nmicroUSB cable with data connection\ncomputer (macOS/Linux/Windows)\nsoldering iron\nlead-free solder\nflux paste\nheader pins (optional)\nwire stripping tool (optional)\n\n➡️ Instructions \nRegister\nRegistration for this event is now closed. We'll offer it again soon!
