That one has seen a lot or changes and upgrades. All the reworks done on that one Proto Hat kind of did it in. One to many unsolder resolder etc I think?
I don't know what happened with the Powerboost? It had quit on me once before, and then started working again just when I was about to replace it?
Its gone into the recycling bin now though. I can't trust it even if it starts working again.

ok ,i'll take the pi3b+ back too

It hasn't left the house anyway. I can likely find it if I look hard enough. That dead Pi 3B+ is here some place too, its a bit mangled now though, GPIO pins are bent up a bit.

ok, just collecting for a silly idea i have ,,,I broke so much stuff ,tossed most all of it , I just want to build a reminder so i will be more careful .lol

Actually, other than a missing DSI connector the Pi 3B+ looks Ok. It was the Proto Hat I replaced that I bent all the GPIO pins on. I had a dead Pi Zero at one time, not sure if thats till here or not. Latter on today I'll go have a look see through all the flotsam and jetsam thats accumulated on my workbench for dead soldiers.

ok sounds good anything dead! we got a bit of snow over here not a lot ..

Indoor weather clock just went RED for Barometric Pressure, Very Low. Been watching drop since last night some time. Getting nasty outside, not a lot of snow down "yet".

Hey Jack, I found that dead Pi 3B+, my dead Pi Zero W, the dead powerboost, and a dud SI1145 breakout board. The Si1145 was defective from day one and Adafruit sent me a replacement. I have no idea why I saved it though? It does kind of work, for a while some times, lol. It just randomly stops communicating over i2c?

if they do have something new i hope its something i dont want or think i want ,I did read something a few months back that Pi-4 will be next years birthday gift to us, I haven't been doing much of anything with the stuff i have now.
Its time to get serious and do something with the stuff i got ,, I have lost interest,I do nothing with it all most days..I will get my mojo going soon ,i hope

It's the Raspberry Pi's 7th birthday this weekend I believe? I can't see a Pi 4 being released, might be something else cool revealed though?
A 3A+ with 1 gig of RAM would be nice. I don't see that hapening either though. Maybe nothuing will happen, other than a celibration?
