My company had a Pi Day Hackathon, and the project I decided on was to run Uxn on a Pi Zero 2W. Specifically, on this Game Boy-style case, with graphics and controls working: https://retroflag.com/gpi_case_2w.html

It was harder than I expected, and it's still not done!

You'd think it'd be as easy as installing the default Uxn emulator on the Pi, since it already runs Linux. But the GPi Case has a unique driver for its screen, and only a few "retro gaming" distros support it.

Apparently, some people celebrate #PiDay by measuring pi with random objects. This was news to me when I stumbled across a fantastic post by Jim Hall, who measured pi using a #RaspberryPi 3 Model B, some graph paper, and a pencil.

We trust you had a splendid March 14th or, if youโ€™re one of us, #piday yesterday.

We always love to see what you create to mark the day the maker community has claimed as its own, so weโ€™ve rounded up a few things we liked:

What do the size of the Opportunity rover's parachute, the Apollo spacecrafts' paths around the Moon, and the Galileo probe's helium data from Jupiter have in common? NASA scientists used pi in their calculations! #PiDay

Today is Albert Einsteinโ€™s birthday *and* #PiDay!

What better way to celebrate than to learn more about Einstein rings?

This fascinating cosmic phenomenon magnifies distant light into ring-like shapes around massive, foreground objects like galaxy clusters. How does it work? โฌ‡๏ธ

Remember the Polly Pocket / Primer / grimoire #cyberdeck I've been building for #PiDay? Got stuck in display hell for a couple weeks, but things are moving along again!! Updated build log on the Hackster.io project: https://bit.ly/primerhack

More this week (+new #RaspberryPi cam ?) ๐Ÿ˜


Attention explorers: #PiDay is coming soon! Sharpen your pencils for the #NASAPiDayChallenge, including a problem featuring yours truly. Can you complete all four before 3.14 (March 14)?

Teachers: Celebrate #PiDay in your classroom!

Challenge your students to use pi to solve some of the same problems our scientists and engineers face while exploring other worlds. Answer key is available on March 15. Slice into our #NASAPiDayChallenge: https://go.nasa.gov/3mJ7mfq
