@pichatuk In action.

@LMcUnderwood WOAH! These days I'm happy if I reach 5000 steps #longCOVID

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@kevsmac No, but I wish I did! 😊

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@JennyENicholson LOVE it! I also appreciate #nospoilers 😁

@ThePiHut "Look at the size of that thing!"

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@geerlingguy @bretweber So far, I have bought at least one of every version of every model of plain board Pi (except the compute modules). The 400 is another exception I just couldn't justify to myself (despite wanting one purely for "the collection"). A revised Pi500 with built in NVME drive. . . hmm?

@ChrisBarnatt @pimoroni Replying to MYSELF. I really ought to know better than that. Parcel arrived nice and early . . . rest of the day turning mega-busy (for various other reasons). Doubt that package will even get opened until tonight. So much for a "restful" days leave! 😉

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@ChrisBarnatt I've been looking forward to this and just happen to have a new Pi5 (8GB) arriving today. Along with the @pimoroni Duo NVME HAT/Base I could be busy today. Really glad I took an extra day as leave now!

@ncmreynolds It's the result of the Northern Lights! 😉

@kevsmac Pedant alert - Raspberry Pi Zero is NOT a microcontroller (it's a SBC).
😊
I don't whether "a" or "an" should be used before SBC 😉

@recantha Try again tonight from around 22:30. Avoid light pollution as much as you can. Give your eyes at least 10 minutes to adjust to the darkness. Set your camera to a high exposure (3-5s?) and keep it steady. Good luck!

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@kevsmac Me too! Difficult to capture with only a mobile phone camera.

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@PeteLomasPi I don't really want to "like" this but I do appreciate it.

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@recantha It's a fantastic animation to a wonderful song.

@guru @SteamYard @adicarter @dansumption @intNorth NOTE to auto-correct "smoldering child" was NOT an appropriate suggestion!

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@guru @SteamYard @adicarter @dansumption @intNorth I wonder if the smol child was influenced by this mammoth meeting of minds? 😉

[Ian Hodgetts @HOD]

@kevsmac That's just the sort of thing I intent to do. I've got so many little projects that are just screaming out to be tied together. I just never seem to find the time to join these particular dots.

@HOD It’s easy to setup and life changing for simple home automation. My bathroom fan and heated mirror can we switched on and off from MQTT as they are powered via some Sonoff devices running some quite old code. The weather station also used this to send data to nodered.
