Two weeks in the making... the time has finally come for the Quality of Life Idea Board: VOL. 2! Please read the first and second page before you proceed in replying down in the comments. Feel free to leave suggestions for what I may want to cover in the future!

(EDIT: There are a few grammatical errors in some of the pages. Try not to take them too seriously!)

Read Volume 1 here!

Our adorable little cat buddy Cruz is here to show off what I've made for my Mii islanders with the RP2040-Zero, using a computer program called TomodachiDrawer.

While I won't say much of what these delectable delights are (considering they're easy to tell what they are in the picture), I can at least explain how I made these items in the first place.

No, none of what you see here was made with a mod. These were made with a Raspberry Pi 2040-Zero Micro-controller flashed with code from a program called TomodachiDrawer to have it emulate a Switch Pro Controller with commands telling it to select which brush and color to use.

It costs money to buy one of these RP2040-Zeros, but they're only $5-10! And if you're interested, here are some links to download TomodachiDrawer and where to buy the micro-controllers:

RP2040-Zero (having it with or without the pre-soldered header changes nothing)

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE TRYING THESE OUT:

• This method of making custom items won't risk getting your Switch 1/2 banned. This only emulates a controller to do the work, and is not online.
• The Switch 1 has de-sync problems with the RP2040-Zero. The Switch 2 does not.
• TomodachiDrawer is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You will need a PC with any of these OS/distros to flash code onto the RP2040-Zero.
• Images must be 256x256. It is the max texture resolution of all TL items. (However, if you choose an image with a higher resolution, TomodachiDrawer will downscale it to the required resolution for you.)
• Give some love to Lucas7yoshi.
• Ask me what you want me to create for Vol. 2!

From my last post, it garnered a whole load of attention. Everybody loved my hyper-realistic Mountain Dew, but that only took around 40min for the RP2040 Zero to make. So, let's take another step above hyper-realism and into copyright infringement!

The Wendy's "Baconator" burger has officially reached it's canon in Tomodachi Life. What do you think??

I've also been making more and more realistic foods behind the scenes, so expect an album later. Stay tuned!!

I made this with the RP2040 Micro-controller. Only $8! No other explanation needed, so enjoy!
EDIT: Just adding this in here, but what else do you want me to make?
