Like animatronic skulls<\/a>, or mechanical bit-flipping cellular automatons<\/a>. Or, in this case, an entire computer inside a mock Lego brick. <\/p>\n Not just any brick, either. I\u2019m talking about the classic sloped Lego computers from our childhood spaceships, now brilliantly brought to life<\/a>. They display fake radar scans, scrolling text, even an interactive homage to the Death Star trench run targeting computer that moves when you touch the exposed Lego studs. <\/p>\n James Brown bought the tiniest, cheapest OLED screens he could find. He wanted to build a keyboard, but his mind’s eye soon saw an even more perfect combination. He tells The Verge he probably won’t sell them \u2014 at least not without legal consultation and a small enough battery! #LEGO<\/a><\/p>\n \u266c original sound – The Verge<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Incredibly, the whole thing is powered by actual Lego bricks, too \u2014 the vintage 9V battery box<\/a> and bricks with electrical contacts<\/a> that Lego discontinued back in the \u201890s. It\u2019s enough to power a 72 x 40-pixel OLED screen and an STM32 microcontroller with a 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0 processor and 16K of flash. And those graphics you see? Apart from Doom<\/em>, which was a live video stream to the brick, they\u2019re all procedurally generated. <\/em>He wrote the programs for this tiny computer himself. <\/p>\n None of this was Brown\u2019s original plan, but in an interview with The Verge<\/em>, he makes it sound like it came together so well that it\u2019s almost begging to be manufactured. Yes, I\u2019m telling you there\u2019s a chance<\/a> you might actually touch one of these someday.<\/p>\n
