    Some of the newer Pibow cases I believe have some of those holes on the bottom layer. There is a custom Lego top layer too.
    Pibow Modification Layers (not suitable for Raspberry Pi 4) – Pimoroni
    I have a bunch of these, Lego compatible Servo's and Motors

    I've been ding some soldering, off and on. Proto boards mostly. Pi and PICO related stuff.

    Had to stop taking one of my pain meds, was giving me blurry vision.

    I want a new drug
    One that won't make me sick
    One that won't make me crash my car
    Or make me feel three feet thick

    I want a new drug
    One that won't hurt my head
    One that won't make my mouth too dry
    Or make my eyes too red

    Did some coding today in Micro Python. Modified that weather file for the Pico Explorer (my custom one) to work on the Pico Display Pack. It's a Pico with a LIPO shim so I also added battery condition to the display. It shows the voltage and % left. Just took the extra code I needed from the Pimoroni Pico Lipo example.
    The other file was written for a 240x240 display. My new file is for the 240x135 Pico Display Pack. I'm using both setups, and only have the one 240x240 breakout. I'll be upgrading to the new 320x240 Pico Display Pack V2 in the near future.
