The Raspberry Pi Thread [6]

Hey Jack, did I trade "to you" a Sense hat at some point? I at one time had two, but can only find one?

I don't think I did but I'm at a lose as to where my second one went. Must be here somewhere, I'll have to have another look around.

Found it, how it got where it was I have no idea? I must have had a few that day.

This is why I was looking for it, Python file doesn't run on bootup via crontab - Raspberry Pi Forums

interesting .. the updated Pi-OS will leave me behind ,lol

Rewired the power in on my Breadboard rig today. I was getting the occasional undervolt warning. Not sure if it was because of the barrel connector or the USB power cables I used. Ditched the barrel jack and replaced the USB power cables.
Used one of these for power, Mote Module Cables – Pimoroni
They have 22 AWG power lines for low voltage drop. I just basically cut the cable in half, which gets me two Micro USB power pigtails. One for the Pi and one for the official touch screen. I cut off the two data wires as they weren't used.
Then soldered them to this. T Connector Male-Female Pair – Pimoroni
Female on the power supply cable in place of the barrel jack and male to the Pi power cords. Heat shrink tubing on the terminals the wires are soldered to so nothing can short out. It's a nice solid beefy connection. And you can't accidentally plug it in wrong, it only fits one way.

great idea, hefty looking cables fur sure ...
