“A MUST BUY…..
The team at Pimorini has put together a very useful kit comes. It comes with everything described including batteries for immediate enjoyment with the default programs.
I consider myself a tire kicker ( meaning I have been on the fringes of programming) and the instructions on the website were very helpful and guided me every step of the way. I attend a lot of conferences and theTufty 2040 provides a unique way to make connections and is a great conversation starter. The ability to customize the images on the display creates a nice personalized touch.
More over, this handy little device allows me to display a custom QR code for easy connections and drive traffic to my website with instant results.
If you are looking for a smart, intuitive, and customizable clever device lol no further. I have only scratched surface of the capabilities and can’t wait to add more to this fantastic little device as the options are endless.”
“An absolutely fantastic bit of kit. Highly recommend, especially for beginners with Python. I have very little coding experience and making little interactive scripts for the Tufty 2040 has propelled my skills forward immensely.
Thanks to the examples that come included on the device, learning how to use the graphics library was quite simple. It helps that the graphics library itself is pretty simple!
Thanks to the "awesome game" example, I finally understand when and how to use classes, which I've implemented in one of my own programs!
Only issue I've had is that after a while, the Tufty 2040 began to freeze sometimes when opening an application, even unedited examples that come with the thing. I'm almost certain it's due to something I've done as it was perfectly fine when I got it. Nothing a full reset shouldn't be able to fix, I hope!
I've attached a little video of a dragon petting game I created stealing ideas from the pre installed examples: wavy_message.py to wiggle the text and awesome-game.py for loading in sprites.
Thanks everyone at Pimoroni for putting together this wonderful little device!”
“It's very nifty and I've already had quite a lot of fun playing with it and working out how I want it set up. Really appreciated the painless set up and how a kit that includes everything needed was available. Pimoroni always goes above and beyond there. One thing I will note is that due to the connectors on the back, attaching the battery pack can feel precarious, but it definitely seems to be secure enough.”
“Im not an Expert in Programming, however I find it relatively easy to change the installed Programms tom my needs. Till now i was only able to change the Badger Programm however, I only put about 30 min. of work into it. In short: I Love it!”
“The documentation is really thorough. The device worked perfectly. Very easy to get set up. Looking forward to using this at the next London Fur Meet. ^^”
“As someone who's new to hobbyist electronics, I appreciate how easy it is to get started with the Tufty. I've had a lot of fun learning Python to program it as a digital con badge.”
