I used to be more in use than not in use. I'm probably about 50 50 now. My cameras all all but one in use. I need to do something with my NOIR to get full use. I wired up 2 IR LED's but they aren't really enough. I bought a pack of 20 or something from Adafruit, just need to solder them in a circle on a Proto Board, then put a hole in the middle for the camera lens. I'll mount it on the backside. If I wire them up in series, in groups of 3 I won't have to use any resistors and can run them on 5V. I'm going to try to fit 9 or maybe 12 leds. It's one of those half size proto boards.
I use Motion Eye OS with my cameras. It's a bit of a PITA to setup but I like how it works over my LAN from any device with a browser. You just enter it's IP address into your browser. I can view them on my PI, PC or smart phone.
My plans for the moment are to do some PICO stuff. Explorer Pack first. Then solder up my Lipo Shim and display battery state etc on my Display Pack. I don't have a real use in mind just yet, just want to try a few things and get used to Micro Python on a PICO. I am going to go through the getting started book though. I have the paper copy and the PDF for that.
