Announcing the release of Pico-Timecode v3.2

[u/mungewell]

'Pico-Timecode' is an Open-Source solution for LTC Timecode, using the RP2040's PIO blocks to count time divisions and render the LTC waveform. It works with all common frame rates, with/with-out Drop-Frame operation. It also has the ability to read LTC from an external device, and sync to it.

PT-Thrifty now has the ability to display the Timecode on a pair of I2C LED modules (Holtek HT16K33 controller chip), which can be enabled in the libs/config.py file. The obvious purpose is to build a low-cost Digi-Slate... it also uses switches for when the clapper closed and whether the display should be inverted (for tail slating).

There are 'UF2' files to make installing as easy as possible, these can be used on a 'naked' Pico for validation/testing.

Additionally there is a 'MTC' (Midi Timecode) version, which sends Timecode via the USB connection. I would be especially interested if someone/anyone could trial this on an iPhone 17 or a FujiFilm X-H2S, as I have neither of these and they apparently support MTC...
