I placed an order for the new Camera and Telephoto lens. It hasn't shipped yet though. The camaera is showing out of stock, but was in stock when I placed my order. I won't know if I snagged one for sure until tomorrow some time. Crosses fingers. =)
Yes I have the PDF. I should have just enough of my open beam stuff left to make a nice sturdy stand for it. Hopefully it ships today. I'm also hoping my other order I placed on the 28th shows up for the weekend. My Unicorn Mini etc.
The other order I was hoping to arrive, didn't.Oh well, I'm having a few
so all is well, lol.
Pimoroni order still MIA.
I will be buying one of these, HAT Hacker HAT – Pimoroni Store
I'll likely mount it on a Pi 3A+, it will only be for tinkering with new stuff I've bought. I'm thinking I might also get the Breakout Garden Mini i2c. I already have the Mini i2c SPI version. I could plug the two into the Hat Hacker to tinker with. Me personally, I'm not likely to ever use two SPI breakouts. Those are usually displays and you'd have to have them one behind the other, which doesn't make sense to me? I would have put two SPI side by side at the front and 3 i2c across the back of the Breakout Garden Hat. Easy to say, but maybe not so easy to do, may be why they are one behind the other. And that gets you 4 sockets for i2c. there are always tradeoffs it seems.
EDIT: I've noticed Pimoroni are moving away from the "some soldering required" with Hats and pHats / mini's. About time IMHO.
A lot of people can't or don't want to learn to solder. And I'm betting its costing them money sending a replacement when its not 100% sure it was soldering that messed it up. Plus the SMT headers can be soldered with all the other SMT components, no extra step to solder on a through hole header. And the low profile ones male shipping / packaging easier.
yeah, i hate waiting for orders to come... when i first started i use to say it was greek to me ,now with all the new stuff like your into , i say its ALL GREEK to me LOL Nice looking hat hacker hat ...cant wait to see what you do with it ..Pimoroni order still MIA.
