    Just noticed the Pi Hut one has a USB HUB built in. I like that, will be handy when its plugged into a Zero or A+. I see a Micro USB jack that I'm guessing is where the keyboards USB cord plugs in?

    EDIT: Should have read the description before posting.

    USB type-A to micro USB type-B cable for connection

    A friend asked me to go pick her dog up every morning and take it on my morning walk with Ginger. Then drop it off again at her home. She's away and her husband can't walk the dog. She insisted on paying me for my trouble, even though its not really much trouble. Anyway, it was adding up, and extra cash I wouldn't normally have so I spent it on Pi stuff. She just called and asked if I could do it for another week so I may be ordering some more stuff next week this time. She's away in Halifax with her daughter who's expecting to give berth any day now.

    My replacement parts for my Zumo Rover arrived today. I'll likely wait till the weekend to start tinkering with that,

    My portable weather clock hasn't glitched in any way shape or form since I replaced those parts that were iffy. Knock on wood.

    Just stripped down my Zumo Rover and soldered up the new replacment shield. Did a quick power on test with the Arduino plugged in and all looks Ok. Turned on and off with no magic blue smoke. Back and neck are getting sore so the light sensing bar will have to wait for another day.

    Which Google assist? And which camera?
    My AIY board (original version 1) is over in the corner gathering dust. I'll have a spare Pi to plug it into next week some time though when my new 3A+'s arrive. I likely won't do anything with it till this summer some time.

    Ok, I just downloaded it from here, https://github.com/google/aiyproject.../tag/v20181116 took about 20 seconds.
    I put a copy here, https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjOYwiwlwDtpgsVmZGzu60GL-YhNtA on my One drive. You may have to wait a little while to download it, its still showing as syncing?
    So thats a Pi Foundation camera? Version 1 or version 2, shouldn't matter but I'll ask anyway.

    EDIT: Its synced now and downloadable.
