Man this is taking forever to break these apart 😅. I didn’t think it would be so tough to snap when the manufacturer suggested going this route would save money.
English
Yay they’re here! I don’t think I fully grasped the magnitude of having nearly 400 of these haha
English
@tacolamp How long would it take to ship out the RiiDraw board? Bc I really excited to finally get one!!!
English
Simplified the firmware flashing process. You can do it from within RiiDraw now. No need to mess with files. And you only need to do this once for each rp2040.
RiiDraw boards also arrive from China tomorrow. I'll have close to 400 available, so there should be plenty.
English
@tacolamp Ooooh, I can’t wait to get a custom board next week!
English
Links for the microcontrollers you need are on the website now (RiiDraw.com). I also ordered 360 adapter boards from JLCPCB today and they should arrive by the end of the month.
Should be able to launch the shop for the adapter and the free app next week.
English
@tacolamp I think I understand it. Do we have to keep on holding boot once the microcontroller is connected to the PC?
English
Made an animation to accompany the instructions for flashing the microcontrollers. Does this seem clear?
English
@MCarrillo2005 I can make sure you get one of the first 30 that I have right now.
English
If you want to read over the guide for RiiDraw let me know what isn't clear. It's still missing some extra screenshots but I think it's getting there.
Also the download buttons don't work yet.

Today's update. Adding a basic help menu and a few more UI tweaks. And fixing some bugs.
English
@tacolamp Wait that’s so cool. Dude I’m so excited to get the custom PCB alongside the program.
English
Today's update. I've added in mattes for all of the different items in the game so it won't waste time drawing pixels that can't be seen anyway. Also added buttons for fit/fill to canvas.
English
So it was about 80% done after 7 hours. I didn’t realize it hadn’t finished when I unplugged it this morning. So the longer time estimates seem to be off a bit. But it did not desync at all. Everything looks great.

Stress-testing a full 6hour, 21 color image tonight. Hopefully the cat will leave the system alone. It’s about as fast as can be without vsync. But I have a cable coming that might allow for that. If we can know exactly what frame we’re on, we might be able to go faster.

@tacolamp Will this only work for the Miis or any other palette house items as well?
English
Lots of testing and refinement on the RiiDraw app. Here's the full workflow. Tested on Mac and Windows. Running a final 5 hour draw test to make sure there's no sync issues.
English
@tacolamp Oh wait I didn’t read the fine print on the top. My bad
English
@tacolamp So will you be selling the custom RiiDraw PCBs? Or do we need to get each part individually?
English
Does this feel clear to explain what you need to buy? I'll provide links to each item as well. Trying to make this guide very clear.
English
Man, there’s a shocking amount of hatred on IG for the video showing my Tomodachi tool. Apparently I am lazy and lack any creative ability.
English
Testing a much more detailed image today. Taking about 2 hours but it’s looking good.
English
@tacolamp I would also grab one too. It looks great and the application looks cool too
English
Trying to figure out if I should do a larger bulk order of these Tomodachi Life pcbs. Maybe I can put up a preorder this week when I post the app and instructions for how to use 2 pi picos now?
Hard to know if I’d sell a few dozen or hundreds. 🤷♀️
