The engineer was inspired to create a computer with Lego by 0.42-inch OLED screens, which he saw for sale in an online store.
New Zealand engineer James Brown has built an entire computer inside a simulated Lego brick. This was reported by The Verge.
It is noted that such a computer is powered by real Lego bricks from a nine-volt battery, which Lego discontinued in the 90s. This is enough to power a 72 x 40 pixel OLED screen and an STM32 microcontroller with a 48 MHz Arm Cortex-M0 processor and 16 KBytes of flash memory.
Last year, a Weta Workshop graphic engineer was browsing AliExpress when he noticed the incredibly small and inexpensive 0.42-inch OLED screen, which inspired Brown to build such a computer. He only paid $40 plus shipping.
Computer screens show simple low-poly renderings from Star Wars and the Elite games.
While that one was healing, I added the trench run and got capacitive touch working on the studs. pic.twitter.com/dxzEw2uDI9
