I wired the brick up as a very small external monitor, so you can, for instance, play Doom on it.

@ancientjames ... so it's got at least as much computational power as a pregnancy test.

@ancientjames I have never before been so thoroughly and brilliantly put back in my place.

@ancientjames First of all, this is incredible 🤩 Second, today I’m starting work by playing #doom

@ancientjames Cool! What's that monitor, and where the heck did you get one that's so small?

Johan Bové

@ancientjames This must be the smallest monitor ever used to play Doom on, right? Right?

Ian Molton
@ancientjames heh, I was going to suggest something like that...

What did you do? Data on serial display on spi/i2c?

Do you double buffer it?

@ancientjames Really like the small display bricks of yours.

Would be even cooler with a wireless enabled one, say a nRF52 or similar (a lot of extra work to create a new PCB and code)

The nRF52805 comes in a tiny WLCSP 2.482 x 2.464 mm package... But I have only tried to use there larger nRF52832 qfn48 6x6mm.
And a meandered inverted-F pcb antenna is going to be too big...

@ancientjames
Is that an EVF display from a camera, or where did you get such a small display from?

Also, the internet demands a link to a long blogpost detailing exactly how you did it!

@Mr_Teatime @ancientjames "The Internet" can read the public posts on the profile of @ancientjames ... it seems to be pretty in depth ;)

@ancientjames This is really cool. What source port tho?

@ancientjames woah - looking forward to seeing the inevitable Lego brick monitor video wall... 😆

Great stuff. Will you set up a Kickstarter?
