I hate it when that happens. I've been in similar situations. You hammer away at code and all seems good. Then the one step forward two steps back hits you. :(
Boy does my Pico Breakout Garden Base makes life a lot easier when I buy new Breakouts. Plug then in, run some code, verify all is good. No having to solder on headers or actually wire them up to...
Spied this on the Pimoroni Github.

The ST7701 driver supports both Parallel and Serial (SPI) ST7701 displays and is intended for use with:

I buy the CBD oil. It's easy to take and easy on the lungs. ;) And you can select how strong you want it.
I have one of those. I'll soon be setting up. I'll be using cannabis seeds with mine. :-)
I'm still quit active. I have days where I don't do didly squat. But on days that I'm not feeling bad I have at it. Mostly Pi stuff at the moment. I'm putting together stuff I haven't used in a while...
If your using the Official Pi 7 inch touch screen, with a Pi 4 or Pi 3, don't use Bookwork. I installed 64 bit Bookworm and had issues with the graphics on my two touch screens. One is on a Pi 4B 8...
I have dozens of Raspberry Pi Single Board Computers here. Some run headless, some command line only, and some with a full Desktop GUI. They run Pi OS, which was originally based on Debian and was...
I can remember when a floppy disk, was floppy and only held 360 kilobytes. :eek:
Bigger Smaller Better Faster works for me. My Raspberry Pi SBC's use a Micro SD Card as a Hard Drive.
I have no intension of retiring any hardware as a result of Windows 10 lack of support. I'll just keep running Windows 10 as is anyway. Just my personal choice. It's not like I haven't done it...
Monitors are one thing I am in short supply of. My main Windows PC is using three monitors. And I'm in no hurry to reallocate any of those to something else. My one spare HDMI monitor gets cycled...
Spotted a link to this on the Pi Forum.

It's early days yet. Took a break from it today. The pain in my neck and shoulders is brutal. And a pinched nerve in my neck is causing pain all the way down my left arm. Little finger and...
The guy that helped me sort out the encoders did up a custom test build for the Inventor 2040W with ULAB in it. That has got it working. I just finished soldering it in place on the front of my...
I have my speed sensing code sorted out thanks to ZodiusInfuser on GitHuB

I measured it, it was 3.141592653589793238462643 inches long. Definitely a Micro Python. ;)
On a more serious note. Decided to have a salad today. Needed a bit of a change from the usual something and French fries. Ripped the plastic bag open and and dumped it into a bowl and a bloody snake...
Had a scary one today. Daughter and Grand Daughter came for a visit. Grand daughter almost drowned. :eek: She just managed to get a hand hold before being sucked under. I don't think it would have...
The -rpm just means it thinks the motors are running in reverse. You can set the speed from -6 to +6. The default value is -1 to +1, if you don't set a speed scale. I want to use 6 RGB LED's for each...
Catnip. I can control the motor speed no problem, near as I can tell anyway. They look to be turning in the correct direction and the correct speed. Where things fail is trying to read the rpm etc...

All I've been doing is :banghead: trying to read the motor RPM from the Motor Encoders. The read_encoders.py file works, and both encoders show the position from 0 to 360 degrees. So they must be...
POE for a Pi has been around for a while. The 3B and 4B have that option. It can be expensive to implement though. The POE Hats plus a special POE switch.
