Cooped up in the house now with the cold weather. I try to spend a few hours a day doing something with all the bits of Pi tech sitting around my desk.
gathering up pi's to sell ,I realized my Dementia started a few yrs ago, I only have 5 power supplies and at least 10 Pi Zeros that need power adapters ,and way to many zero phats ,I think I use to just add them to the orders to justify the shipping cost .LOL
The new USB C power supplies are the ones I'm in short supply of. Like you, I have more Pi's than power supplies to power them. I have enough of the Micro USB to power the Pi Zero's I use daily. Not enough of the USB C ones for the Pi 4's and the Pico's I have with USB C power jacks though.
Sucks that your selling off some stuff. I "might" be able to buy some of it once we get our taxes done. What Carolyn gets back usually covers what I end up paying, and then some.
yeah, i spent way to much over the years, should have not bought any until I learned how to use them.at least ,lol ,first display i bought was something like this one ,I still have it on the shelf! I had it scrolling text ,cant remember what though 1602 LCD Display Module DC 5V 16x2 Blue Backlight - PiShop.ca,Had a early Pi book with the directions ,
I have a couple of those 16 x 2 LCD's. I used them with my Arduino, and Micro Bit too I think. My Arduino stuff seems to be gathering the most dust. I should have a look see in the boxes, I can likely use a lot of that stuff with a Pico.
What have you got for Breakout Garden Stuff? I seem to be always buying that stuff, BME280's, RV3028 RTC's, and the SPI LCD's.
I've been waiting for this to hit the Store as an official release.
Cosmic Unicorn (Pico W Aboard)
IT would let me upgrade my 16 x 16 Unicorn HD to 32 x 32 and switch to a PICO. No having to shut down properly or worry about power bumps. That Pi runs 24/7 scrolling weather info.
i have a Adafruit 240x240 TFTn, one row of 11 pins on the back ,with a u/uSD,power 3,3-5v Logic ,3.3-5V ,and A sd card slot on the back,for what i dont know ,I bought by mistake of course .simular to this one ,not sure if its wide angle ,also it dosnt have the camera type cable connection .
