Parts

I am using a production revision D Fruit Jam board. Most additional components can likely be found around the house such as HDMI cable & display, headphones, power supply, etc. The controller system is designed to be as compatible as possible. So, most USB controller devices should work or even a USB keyboard.

It is possible to use a Metro RP2350 which is discussed in learn guides such as Larsio Paint Music., but this guide will not discuss that procedure nor has the software been tested within that environment.

Controls

Mouse

You can control all aspects of this application using a USB mouse to control the on-screen cursor. All actions are completed with a left click. Some events require that an object be hovered over and then clicked while others you can click anywhere on the screen to proceed.

In order to exit while playing the game, click the door icon in the top right corner. This will bring up a confirmation prompt which will return you back to the title screen. At this point, you can reload the device by clicking the "Quit" option on the title screen. If the application is installed within Fruit Jam OS, it will return to the main menu of the operating system.

Keyboard

A standard USB keyboard or REPL prompt can be used to control all aspects of this application.

Key	Action
Arrow keys	Navigate menus and dialog options

Button #3	Navigate up menus and dialog options

Gamepad

USB gamepads are currently not supported but planned to be added in a future release.

Working with I2S audio input to your project can be daunting, but the CircuitPython_PIO_I2S library helps with the heavy lifting.

This guide is limited to devices supporting a compatible processor RP2xxx such as the Raspberry Pi Pico and Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Python support via Adafruit_Blinka is not supported at this time.

CircuitPython Microcontroller Wiring

Here is how you'll wire your I2S MEMS Microphone breakout (in this case, SPH0645LM4H) to a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040):
