I’ve had this ages and stumbled across it the other day and thought I’d put it together and modify it with #raspberrypi pico and why not throw a battery in there but that’ll be in my next video.

My @thepihut.bsky.social delivery arrived yesterday and I was just watching @spidermaf.bsky.social on YouTube and realised I forgot to get the Baguette so I had to comment 🤦♂️🤭

I really like this Pimoroni case but I also want POE and won’t be enough room after cooling, looks like I’m going have to make a new top for it. Purchased via @thepihut.bsky.social a debug probe also as I want to do more with microcontrollers.

When you can’t interact with your security lighting controller but after testing find 5v at one side of the x4 internal push buttons so you bang a logic shifter in it so it can be controlled from your #RaspberryPi via #gpio.
Ya can’t beat a bit of hot glue to hold something in place 😁

This could be a fun project what do you think?
Reuse 2014 #AppleMacBookAir chassis for a new project using #RaspberryPi equipment.
I’ve not seen it done, surely @jeffgeerling.com would know if it has been?

I don’t think it’ll be long before we see official @raspberrypi.com screens that just need the CM5 for slim form factor projects.
Personally I think it’s a great idea, what do you think?
I do like and feel the need for x2 new 5” touchscreens to replace the lounge and a new landing screen 🤔

@kevsmac.bsky.social watching your last nights live and noticed that you was playing with stepper motors and testing out the speed. I think you was using half step which has more torque but less speed. If you used full step you’ll get more speed.
Thought I’d mention it unless I missed it.

Hi @pimoroni.com I recently got a enviro weather and I have an issue where it sends x1 mqtt reading but as it’s powered via USB it does the sleep then reset and never sends another reading.
Any ideas please?
