Raspberry Pi Pico turned into a working GPU

Raspberry Pi.

When trying to brainstorm projects for the Raspberry Pi Pico, using it to make a GPU is one of the last things we would have thought of. But clearly maker and developer Clem Mayer with Element 14 lives life on the wild side as he recently brought this intriguing idea to light in a video recently shared to the Element 14 YouTube channel.

According to Mayer, the idea for this project stemmed from a need to create a graphics card for his Linux-based ESP32S3 machine. He also wanted it to be flexible so that it could work with other microcontrollers and SBCs. This would make it easier for others to implement it at home in their own projects.
