The Raspberry Pi Thread [6]

Just now ordered 3 more PICO's from Pimoroni, 3 Resseti's and the Explorer Base. I wanted the PICO Breakout Garden but its still listed as "Coming Soon". =(

right on ,you'll be busy,busy ,, I follow this guy on youtube and I think a see a compute module in my future ,when this compute Module motherboard is released, Meet MirkoPC - a tiny full-featured Raspberry Pi CM4 PC! - YouTube

I've watched a few of his video's and like what I see. I've been wanting a compute module for a while now. The dual CSI and dual DSI connectors entrig me. Having flash ram versus an SD card is also cool IMHO.

My Pimoroni order won't go through until Monday. Assuming it does I'll have one PICO for my display Pack, one for my Explorer Pack, one for my Omnibus, and one for my solderless breadboard. No messing around moving it around. =) Or having to reflash it if I want to try Circuit Python versus Micro Python. I plan on having at least one (the breadboard one) running circuit python.
It would be nice if the 1 Pi Zero per order would also disappear.

Got my DS32131 RTC all soldered in and wired up. And that Weather Clock is all back together again. Just the RTC software setup and a little code editing to do now.

I have days like that where its hard to concentrate and keep track of what I'm doing. Not to bad today, so far anyway. Managed to get the morning walk with my dog in before the heavy rain hit. There is a small group of us that go in the morning. We go early so we can let the dogs go off leash. We pretty well have the trail all to ourselves at 7AM. Nobody there to get upset of be bothered by us. We keep an eye out anyway and leash up if we see somebody.

I did the sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade and after 200 or so updates it locked up with an IO error.
I had I think the same issue on my other Pi A+? Starting to wonder if its my Lexar SD cards? Going to do a new image on a Spare Sandisk card and start over. I should have reimaged anyway, would have been faster than doing 200+ updates.
