Re: Using a 2.2" TFT

1. fairly hot soldering iron 2. desoldering pump (spring loaded one should be fine) 3. desoldering braid/wick 4. flux if you want to keep the slot intact: heat up each contact point and use the pump to suck away as much solder as possible. then use the braid and flux to mop up any remaining solder f...

as long as there's enough memory space then you can use any arduino library you need. it's just C++. map doesn't use any special CPU instructions that the tiny is unlikely to have (it's just a fancy list) so flash memory is going to be your biggest problem with the tiny range. but they are still ver...

Re: Pi Zero powered Gameboy Classic
