Picopad - open source gaming console based on Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)
The full SD-card image, the UF2 tree and individual UF2 files for each game / demo are published as GitHub Release assets rather than committed to this repository. Grab them from the latest release.
The binaries are produced from Panda381/PicoLibSDK/!PicoPad10/
and synced via a GitHub Actions workflow (Actions tab → "Sync binaries
from upstream PicoLibSDK"). See PicoLibSDK/binaries/README.MD
for stable URLs and details.
The hardware folder contains schematics and photos of the Picopad.
The circuitpython folder contains libraries and examples for CircuitPython.
The micropython folder contains libraries and examples for MicroPython.
The arduino folder contains PlatformIO projects (sensors, demos, games,
project template) targeting the Arduino-Pico framework.
The PicoLibSDK folder contains an alternative extended C/C++ SDK library
for the Raspberry Pico, plus a thin pointer to the binaries Release.
Helper scripts. scripts/sync-binaries.sh is the one used by the binaries
workflow.
The console also features an external connector that provides battery power, 3.3V, and GND. It supports communication through UART, has two I2C interfaces, three analog inputs, and six GPIO pins.
