Christmas has started, we visited Kings Theatre, Portsmouth this afternoon to see this year's #PompeyPanto, Dick Whittington. As usual the whole cast put on an amazing performance that literally had the entire auditorium up and dancing by the end.

Ode To Makers #yarrbooty #chatgpt

Oh Makers! Ye architects of madness and dreams,
Forgers of realms where no blueprint gleams.
With your soldering irons like modern Excaliburs,
You summon sparks that dance like unruly saboteurs.
Oh Makers! Ye architects of madness and dreams, Forgers of realms where no blueprint gleams. With your soldering irons like modern Excaliburs, You summon sparks that dance like unruly saboteurs. In basements, garages, and cluttered abodes, You conjure the future from scavenged modes. Circuit boards whisper in languages arcane, While your 3D printers hum a digital refrain. Behold! The Holy Grail of duct-taped delights, A Franken-creation birthed in caffeine-fueled nights. Buttons and levers in chaotic ballet, What it does? Even you cannot say! Your kingdoms are solder smokes and tangled wires, Where failure ignites your ingenious fires. For every botched attempt, a phoenix takes wing, Each flaw a note in the anthem you sing. Oh, alchemists of code, turning void into light, Your algorithms, a cryptic delight. With lines of logic, you bind and release, Beeping contraptions that never know peace. To you, who weld lasers to garden gnomes, And sculpt rocket ships from recycled domes, The cosmos salutes your absurd endeavor— For no dream is too wild, no "why" too clever. So here's to the Makers, the tinkerers divine, From Arduino sorcerers to Raspberry Pi shrine. May your toolbox overflow with magic unending, And your zany creations defy all comprehending.

Analysing serial comms from an Arduino using my old BitScope BS05. Following Crash Course Arduino and Microcontroller Development on Udemy and making use of the kit I have laying around 🤓
