@Chris_Gammell Lesson One. Forget anything you have learned about any other scripting language. Speaking from the perspective of someone trying to use terraform with no introduction 😕

@zam_erlangen My technical writeup about creating a text display using an ATTiny1614 and a shift register. https://t.co/s9eR5SsVg8

[Steve Mayze @Steve_Mayze]

Reprogrammed my NEO Pixel driver board that uses a @MicrochipMakes ATTiny1614 normally used for Christmas lights to now be a text display driving 8 RGBW LED NEO Pixel strips. Hanging now at ZAM @betreiberver1.

Here is where would have had to push a map update with Royal Mail.

Jetzt wird Spannend. Gerade eingetroffen. PCBs für Teil 2. @kicad_pcb Workshop in @zam_erlangen

[Steve Mayze @Steve_Mayze]

Thanks @edupuertasfruns. This is very cool 😎

This on par if not better than the Olympic James Bond scene.
The Queen having tea with Paddington - incredible that at 96 and after 70 years on the throne she still has the power to surprise #platinumpartyatthepalace

[Steve Mayze @Steve_Mayze]

@Chris_Gammell Same here. I just don't use it often enough to get the practice. What should take 15 mins ends up an hour mostly watching videos. When I achieve the result I want, I usually forget the pain until next time.

Trying out a couple of ways to R/W IO lines - one trials the #maximite2 a fun device that brings back memories of the Apple ][ https://t.co/Pj2lZAa07n

@baldengineer Is this the precursor for a new tutorial? 🙂

[@[email protected] @josecastillo]

also omg the boards for the ring thing came in and THEY ARE SO TINY. This is a 6-layer board that sports a microcontroller, accelerometer, light sensor, RGB+W LED's, OH AND IT'S 9.8 MILLIMETERS ACROSS! Now who @ Microchip do I gotta slide $20 to get some WLCSP SAM D10 samples? 😛

@Chris_Gammell It requires a bit of discipline, but the use of the spreadsheet also helps with propagating changes.

The KiCad 2021 year end funding drive has begun.

A laser cut Christmas tree with candle light LEDs. Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea is not so simple in the end. With a prototype, there is always room for improvement. https://t.co/DxpuBWDVEf

[Edu Puertas @edupuertasfruns]

This is the most exciting publish so far. We just launched a @Kickstarter campaign, explained here:

@Chris_Gammell @timonsku @bitluni I know it sounds boring ... but seeing connectors and enclosures up close and not on a web page is helpful.

[Steve Mayze @Steve_Mayze]

@hjwp @XBeeWireless The tricky part was getting to that stage with unit tests that made sense. It felt odd to be unit testing against the fake version. I had to view this as establishing the contract between the domain and services.

[Steve Mayze @Steve_Mayze]

A write-up describing my approach and experience using #tdd to interface Python with some XBees to create a small gateway. Thanks @hjwp,

@hjwp @XBeeWireless There won't be enough space in a tweet to answer in full. Basically, once I understood the use of the adapter and how to apply it in my case, then everything seemed to just fall into place.
