    I got that, thanks.

    Kudo's to Pimoroni, IMHO, I'd never get results like this from Adafruit etc. Currently having a great time coding on this new setup, and,

    By the way I'd be happy to "try and" code for some of what your going to sell. Might get you a few more bucks if its doing something cool.

    thanks for the offer ,and I will take you up on the offer ! I just need to take some time paring Pi and phat and hats.

    sitting in a semi cooled Apt with the padio doors opened in Bedford,with a large HighHo digging and scraping bolders across the street ,getting it ready to build another aptrment building ,that will block there somewhat nice view of trees and some houses , the BIMO center is not far from here ..its a busy area about a 5to 8 min drive to the highway .

    Lately, coding for X hardware, isn't as hard as it used to be. Pimoroni and Adafruit have stepped up there game code wise. I'm still tinkering with my Pico Display Pack V2 X 2 setup. It's opened up a all kinds of options for how I display my info.

    Having some fun coding for my Pico Weather Station setup. And because my Pico RGB Keypad is running Circuit Python, I can leave it plugged in with no interference in Thonny. It only see's Micro Python devices.
    Having two 240 x 320 displays to play with is nice. And portrait mode makes it even better. I'm going to try and get a decent picture, to post. So far all I've got is fuzzy blobs of light? I need to play with the backlight settings and background light to get my camera to take a good picture.

    Next step is to wire up the buttons and LED's. There are enough free GP pins, just have to fire up my soldering iron and find my round 2it.
    There are going to be Pico Lipo's at both ends so I want the LED's to show if they are running on battery. I have two displays, so two LED's to play with. The buttons I want to do a reset of min max temp, etc. Although I could likely code a reset in at say midnight? I will have a RTC installed at both ends. By both ends I mean, one at the outside sensor measuring end, and one at the indoor display the data end. I want this to work even if the power fails.

    The first display will use the default Display Pack V2 pin assignments. The second one will use what's not in use.

    Here are a couple of pics. The ?? means I haven't coded for that sensor just yet.

    It's a work in progress, but I'm now back on track to getting things done code wise. There is a fix in the works for my VEML6075 i2c issue. Pil Howard worked up a fix so I can use it with the Pimoroni i2c library. I have to wait for it to get merged into the official build though.

    New Pimoroni uf2 files released today. Phil pushed the two changes I was after into main.
    Releases . pimoroni/pimoroni-pico . GitHub

    Just dropped the new file onto my Pico and all is well. Nothing broke and my UV sensor is now usable.
