    I need to order some more power supplies. I have more Pi's than supplies to run them.
    Your post reminds me, I have an Ledshim sitting there waiting to be installed. Needed a Pico Hat Hacker to mount it the way I wanted. Thats now here in a box someplace. Two actually, with some other odds and ends.
    Maybe this weekend. Been tinkering with my Arduino stuff the last few days. Off and on, when its quiet around here and no company to get in the way.

    Hey Jack I found the lens part of a camera module in one of my boxes of Pi stuff. Maybe you gave it to me? I'm going to try swapping it into the camera module I have thats messed up image wise. I have to pry it out of that lego smart pi case first. Its a bit of a pian to take apart.

    not sure if i gave it to you ,my memory is getting really bad these past few months,its even starting to concern me a bit to be honest ,but i thinks it might be caused by retiring, and not having a daily routine anymore ...the worse thing is knowing what day it is ,lol

    Hmm, not sure what the deal is on the camera lens part I have is? The SUN connector is facing up, same direction as the lens? It needs to be pointing down, towards the back of the lens to plug into the main board? Other than that it looks the part, same adjustment ring on the lens. It's bigger than the others though? My adjustment thingeys don't fit it? I'll throw it back in the box.

    Starting to wonder how I acquired it and where it came from? Why I saved it etc? I don't remember taking any web cameras apart? Maybe it came out of a laptop I disassembled? I have no recollection of how I got it now though? Not what I thought it was thats for sure.

    Was wanting to work on my second LED Shim today. Fought me all the way and I finally just gave up and left it for another day. I was going to break something either by accident or on purpose if I kept going. I kept dropping things, having to resolder or unsolder something because I got it backwards. Nothing was going as planned. One of those days I guess.

    I didn't break anything, came close once or twice, which was why I stopped. I messed up a bit and didn't solder the LED shim the way I had originally intended. Still usable though, so not a big deal. Would have liked to have it the same way I did the other one. Not unsoldering it "again" though. I'll wait a day or two and go back at it.
