The Raspberry Pi Thread [4]

This isn't bad for 28 bucks Canadian, https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/gfx-hat IMHO anyway. Colored RGB back light and 128 x 64 pixels. Some touch buttons too. Put it on my wish list.

Did any of you guys use Wunderground API? Trying to work on a weather display on scroll phat. The entries for py code substitution is really confusing.

Just two? I have 4 of those motors and wheels, two will run off of an explorer pHat. I have 2 spare motors I'll likely never use, and 4 of those grippy wheels. My motors are in enclosed black plastic cases

I switched from 4 wheel drive to a track system that uses 2 motors and 2 idlers so now I have 2 extra motors and 4 wheels sitting there doing nothing. I'll give you a good deal if your interested. I can go look up the gear ratio if you want, have to go check my order history to see which ones I ordered. They were the same ratio as the ones they sell in their rover kit. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/c...wd-robot-rover

No, I've only ever used real time data from sensors I installed. Haven't tried to pull local weather forecasted data from the cloud. Not yet anyway. Mulled it over once or twice for my indoor weather clock. Lost my round2it though.

My motors are 50:1 and don't have the Push Pin Headers, they just have the solder tabs. They were 7 bucks Canadian each, 5 bucks each Ok? I have 2.

The enclosures were 2.80 so 2 bucks each? I have two of those too. I bought those because I didn't want and lint etc getting into the gears, they are all open to the air.

The wheels were 6.30 a set so 5 bucks sound Ok? I have two sets.

EDIT: Mine don't have those LEGO® shaft adaptors just so you know.

I'll go hunt them up, not sure what box they're in lol. Yeah just let me know and I'll put them out by the front door. You want just the two wheels or all four? Just wondering as I only have the two motors. I reused the other two with the track set.
