In other news, I think I'm going to be able to make a delightfully silly cyberdeck thing with this old kid's toy. The black square is a full 720x720 display that entirely fits within the "screen" recess, and still leave room for the punch cards to be inserted behind it. Originally those determined which of 64 different sequences the buttons had to be pushed in, to teach counting or words or whatever the card had printed on it. In mine, that will be what accesses different modes. Want to see the weather report? Insert the weather report card. I think it might actually be an interesting experiment in a more deliberate, intentional form of mobile computing.

After re-imaging the Pi Zero about a dozen times, I finally have the HyperPixel Square display working! Next I have to get the alternate I2C interface working, alternate because this display is sitting on the normal one. (Or find some other way of letting it read the state of the 11 buttons and 6 punch card bits, I don't actually care how.)
