The Raspberry Pi Thread [4]

yeah, i think i posted that awhile back.or something similar to it. cant find the post but this is the pic i posted at the time

I'm talking about the connect a Zero to a 3B and double your GPIO part. We both played with it when we first saw it. I posted some picks of mine hooked up to a PC running the Raspberry Pi Desktop with a solderless breadboard attached. I never got as far as making the LEDs light up though. I lost interest at the using GPIOZERO part. I may have another go though. All my projects are on hold waiting for parts. I don't remember seeing the "Using two Pi devices together" part?

Looks interesting but something doesn't add up between the picture and description? The ribbon cable going from the Pi to the board looks to be 40 PINs on the Pi but only 26 PIN's on the bread board? It's not using all 40 GPIO according to the picture. But in the description it says, "2x 20 breadboards with markings for GPIO pins"? I can't see the actual GPIO markings though to tell what's what.

It is pretty cool, don't think I'd buy one though. Not for me personally anyway.

EDIT: I count 27 rows in each of those bread boards across the top?

There is a picture here showing it only used the 26 PIN GPIO layout, that the original Pi used. Still a nice idea, especially in a classroom etc. They need to fix the description though to reflect that, IMHO.

I think the two layouts are slightly different too, some of the GPIO numbers are shifted around. I'm talking about the first 26 Pins. Comparing those on the original model A and how they are now on say a 3B. Anyway, not a big deal for you or I, as we likely won't be buying one anyway.

just looking through past order from adafruit .seems i ordered this case of nuts and bolts ,but cant find it anywhere ..didn't order it for you did I, lol
Think I lost my memory too.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was one of the things I asked you to add to an order for me. I have one and don't see it in my order history.
