Designing DC/DC is no easy task if you have not much experience.
Thankfully some datasheet are mind opening.

Made a quick and dirty python/micropython driver for the BH1750FVI Ambient Light I2C Sensor, since the official wiki page only offers Arduino code.

Why do I see politics threads on my home feed if I don't follow anything nor anyone involved 🤷‍♂️

I haven't really used this space yet. I think I will cross-post some stuff that I have been making recently, and not so recently.

Quickly made a micropython driver to control a Futaba 4-BT-68ZY VFD. This display is basically only dedicated to work as a clock or timer. The data is sent over serial using the Pico UART.
