No more E9 bug.

The sacrifice for changing at headlamp bulb has been given.

I think I got away lightly this time.

The faders are motorised and move to the stored value after selection, currently set up for RGB colour values. It's programmed in CircuitPython. The motor driver is a @pimoroni.com Motor 2040 and is handling all the inputs and outputs.

The initial steps of a 3D engine for the ZX Spectrum Next!!!
Couldn't sleep last night, head full of ideas, so did a late coding session converting the clipLine routine from C to asm. There was a bug I couldn't fix, so slept on it and identified it straight away this morning. I can now start on clipping filled triangles now clipLine is in the asm domain.

Home grown rhubarb, sweetened with orange and honey.

Turned out good, and I have a couple on meals to freeze.

Modified pico lipo 2 XL

I cut the traces ( under the tp2350 ) to gpio 27,28,29 so I could have the lower ADC’s unaffected by the E9 bug.

Just testing the ADC’s before I wire it to 6x 16 channels ADC multiplexes, which would technically give me up to 96 ADC’s ( I only need 90. )

No BTS, no bat mon
