Looks like a cool Kit,, I Quit ,for awhile anyway .going home Thursday,
Enjoying some time away from the Pi Room .enjoying a cool breeze from a floor fan in West Bedford .
The heat pump/Air exchanger in Down, and apt. owner doesn't seem to be in any hurry to fix it ,, not too bad today but yesterday was a hot inside .. I went and joined the crazy Cosco customers to cool off .lol
Heading home tomorrow ,thank god! A really busy 5 and a 3yr old, boy and girl ,I beat from the heat and playing with them for hr's ,they are gone to bed now ,so peace and quite from now to my bed time,Heading home tomorrow, I thought we were staying till Thursday ,was I happy Grampy when I found that out .
WootMy Pimoroni order arrived, it shipped on the 5th so that's a nice fast 2 week delivery time.
So far I have
Pi PICO in Pimoroni Breakout Garden Base
RV3028 RTC Breakout
1.54" SPI Color Square LCD (240x240) Breakout
BME280 Breakout - Temperature, Pressure, Humidity Sensor
That is a work in progress.
Pi PICO in Pimoroni Pico Omnibus (Dual Expander)
Pimoroni Pico Display Pack
That is a work in progress.
Pi Pico in Pimoroni Pico RGB Keypad Base
That is a work in progress.
And several others plugged into solderless breadboards etc I have tinkered with.
The RGB Keyboard base I got from you (Jack) will end up being a USB Hid keyboard. The buttons will launch / open stuff when pressed. Mostly taskbar shortcuts to open my Pi camera video feeds. Button 1 will launch Camera one web browser feed etc. That's likely the first project to actually see completion. It will be like the Pimororni Keybow, just a lot cheaper.
Next after that I think will be getting the PICO Breakout Garden setup doing something useful.
That sounds like a thought out plan, I will write down a plan right now. first on the list will be to solder everything I have that needs to be soldered ,then set them up following Pimoroni and Adafruit code on Github ,It should be Christmas by the time I'm done.and Santa will bring me some cool new toy to play with ,LOL, I might even tackle one of the Jimu Robots I bought at Home Hardware for my Grandson,to do with when he got older .. enjoy!

How's everything going with you , I'm sitting on my butt surfing the net ,but going out soon to do some power washing of the Vinal siding,to get the green growth off . I seen this on Twitter ,was wondering what you take is on this device ..TY Raspberry Pi Pico Expansion Board Connects Your Projects to the World | Tom's Hardware
Hello,How you doing , How's your new meds working out , hopefully an improvement , take care .
So so, it takes 10 days or so for them to have any real effect and I'm not there yet. I'm still doing forum stuff, just haven't done any real hands on stuff for a while. Neck and shoulders are really sore which makes it hard to do any tinkering / soldering etc.
