The Raspberry Pi Thread [6]

Come on guys, I'm holding up my end of this thread. Where's your pictures etc.
I've been doing some coding off and on over the last few days. And a new Micro Python release happened, 1.23.0 is out.
MicroPython - Python for microcontrollers
I tested some of the custom Pimoroni images on a few of my setups. No issues so far. Also installed the stock version on a Pico and Pico W. I have to see if I have some generic sensors or other bits to test with. I may take this opportunity to tinker around with my Debug Probe. Debug Probe
It's looking for a stock Micro Python image. If you order a Pico or Pico w with headers the Debug Header is included and installed / soldered in for you. Its a lot easier when you can just plug the cable in.

Coming... coming... I will try to take some tonight.

I like coding, when I have something cool I want to do. Sometimes that entails some which can be frustrating. It's very rewarding though when you finally sort it out.
I haven't done anything new hardware wise in a while. Modified my Breadboard Pi. I removed the breadboard and the long base. Just the touch screen and Pi on a small open beam base. It's like a homemade Smarti Pi setup. It's sitting on my desk as a sort of 4th monitor. I put my main camera feed on it when I'm coding and have all three PC monitors in use. It's a Pi 3B+ so its not too bad use wise.

I had another Raspberry Pi loaded with Motion Eye OS issue today. I really like this software but its now unsupported. If I ever find anything better I'll switch. Downside to this software is after extended use it starts to glitch, or just won't run / bootup. A reload takes a little while, well for me it does. I have 3 Pan Tilt setups that require extra steps. I have the procedure down pat now, lol.

It's just an annoyance / inconvenience redoing that setup when it happens. I have scripts for the Pan Tilt setups One clip and past in Putty and its all setup.

Playing around with my Plasma Desktop Lighting. Just for fun I switched to RED. I actually find reading my keyboard a lot easier than when lit white. Black Keyboard with white lettering. Might also be due to my partial color blindness, but how to know? I do know that fighter plain displays were backlit in red. Back when they had analog gauges. I had a Ford Mustang that the gauges were lit Red.

Makes the desktop look cool too.
