    Fixed it, really dumb error on my part. The P should have been a p.
    M = ((981 - P) + 3)
    Name error Name "P" is not defined.

    Was tinkering with my portable weather clock today and it glitched on me. IO error then all my readings went ito the red with low values? Something is not quit right with the BME680? I "think" I had a bad connection someplace. Resoldered the headers etc, seems OK now. Will have to watch for it glitching agian. I have one Proto Hat in it thats been reworked a few times. Soldered, unsoldered, headers moved and added. It actually had a bad ground on it too. Will be ordering a new Proto Hat to replace it next time I order some stuff.
    Running headless, I never really know what happened when it stops working. Today I was changing my python file and had a monitor keyboard connected. I was running my new file from idle too which helps with getting a good understandable error message. Time will tell if I fixed it or not. I was switching the LED Shim on this one to display pressure instead of temperature.

    If it glitches again any time soon I may take you up on that offer. I already have the stacking header I need, just no Proto Hat to go with it. I'll be ordering some stuff next month anyway, and will add one to that order. I likely won't know if its fixed until it gets moved / bumped around a bit. It's just sitting on my dresser in the bedroom at the moment. Every once in a while it would just stop working, never really new why, I assumed it was an error in my python file but never really found any. Looks like it was a hardware fault. It could also be the BME680 I guess? Leaning more towards it being the Proto Hat though. I think its been damaged by all the unsoldering resoldering. All I have at home is one of those spring loaded vacuum solder suckers. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to unsolder a header.

    i just checked your onedrive ,and seen the pictures of the proto board your using ,and mine isn't the same one ,its just the Adafruit perma proto 1/2 size breadboard one ,without the gpio part and camera cable slot .

    Those are the ones I have in my parts bin, 1/2 size perma proto, you get one free with an order over 100 dollars. Something like that. Yeah the one I need is the Proto Hat without eprom,
    Adafruit Perma-Proto HAT for Pi Mini Kit - No EEPROM ID: 2310 - $4.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique fun DIY electronics and kits
    I appreciate the offer non the less.

    Did some code clean up today on my weather clock python files. I also did up separate files to show temperature or pressure on the LED Shim. Two separate files for each weather clock. I thinking of redoing my indoor one so I can switch back and forth just by using the joystick on the sense hat. Its coded to change the text from colored to all white, I don't really need that function on that weather clock. Its never in bright sunlight. Something for another day.
    The portable seems to be working OK, no more glitches. It went from 22c to -7c today when I took it outside to the dog park. The humidity reading goes nuts though when I bring it back in the house. All the warm air just condenses on it. Doesn't last long though.
