    Been in a bit of a rut myself, and lacking motivation. Other distractions on the go though. Stuff I'd rather not deal with but have to. Nothing serous just a PITA type stuff. Plus I don't have a good work area to tinker with stuff. Need to clean up in my computer room and make some space. And my work bench, all kinds of junk piled up on it too.
    Once the weather gets a bit nicer, warmer, I'll get my gazebo up on my deck and my big table setup. Then I'll have lots of room for my toys, tools, laptop etc.

    Pi foundation forum advised reporting my sense hat issue via GitHub, so I did. Still didn't actually acknowledge it was an issue. I just wanted somebody to confirm of deny it. Oh well. On a plus note my Pimoroni order has shipped. I have some stuff I want from Adafruit too, but will have to wait a bit for that. Wife wants to order some stuff next payday.

    This might interest those of you with AIY kits, https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/google...crollphat/7610 It never occurred to me to add another hat like a scroll pHat. I'm kind of wanting an AIY kit even more now.

    don't buy one with out checking with me first ,it's possible that it will one day be for sale [at a discounter price .],minus the modmypi case ,i like that case and have other plans for it ..

    One way to do it is to use this https://shop.pimoroni.com/collection...ico-hat-hacker stacking header and a male 90 to connect a ribbon cable too. put it between the Pi and AIY board. Assuming its some type of display board you want vertical and to the side.

    I like the sounds of that, =) No shipping charges, and I can sneak it by without my better half knowing. If I can ferret some cash away on the side I may give you a call.

    That's a nice case so I can see why you'd want to keep it.

    thinking 25$ maybe! or swap for something interesting even,,

    just totaled up my pimoroni over 600 dollars .....WHAT! Adafruit 875.00$ ,,,really in my head i thought i might have spent 1000...but much more than that ,,i also bough from Amazon ,Buyapi.ca ,Magpi,ebay..ect ect ,,wow ,this is actually surprising me ...
    a few of the items were bought for my friend at the mom and pop store,,maybe 200 or so ...

    I'll give you 25 for it. Do you still have the cardboard case? I'll still buy it without it, just wondering is all. I'll have a spare 3B sitting around doing nothing in 10 days or so.
    I don't think I have much of anything to swap? I have a Pi Zero W with GPIO header already soldered on, with the two white adapters and the white official case. I think you have lots of Zero w's though. The only other stuff I have is my rover stuff that's all in pieces, and my Micro Bit stuff.
