Great work @gurgleapps.bsky.social but how about if when the pupils move to the side they don’t stay perfectly round to give that extra 3d look. They slightly narrow in the direction of looking, now that would be awesome 🤩

I’ve had this ages and stumbled across it the other day and thought I’d put it together and modify it with #raspberrypi pico and why not throw a battery in there but that’ll be in my next video.

My @thepihut.bsky.social delivery arrived yesterday and I was just watching @spidermaf.bsky.social on YouTube and realised I forgot to get the Baguette so I had to comment 🤦‍♂️🤭

I really like this Pimoroni case but I also want POE and won’t be enough room after cooling, looks like I’m going have to make a new top for it. Purchased via @thepihut.bsky.social a debug probe also as I want to do more with microcontrollers.

When you can’t interact with your security lighting controller but after testing find 5v at one side of the x4 internal push buttons so you bang a logic shifter in it so it can be controlled from your #RaspberryPi via #gpio.
Ya can’t beat a bit of hot glue to hold something in place 😁

Nice and easy breadboard connections allowing 4 column pins unlike other microcontroller boards that cover connection holes see attached.

I’ve not used any ESP products before so maybe I’ll add to my next order.

Is this your own board as I noticed a Pi Hut logo on the pcb?

This could be a fun project what do you think?
Reuse 2014 #AppleMacBookAir chassis for a new project using #RaspberryPi equipment.

I’ve not seen it done, surely @jeffgeerling.com would know if it has been?

I don’t think it’ll be long before we see official @raspberrypi.com screens that just need the CM5 for slim form factor projects.

Personally I think it’s a great idea, what do you think?

I do like and feel the need for x2 new 5” touchscreens to replace the lounge and a new landing screen 🤔

What equipment do you use as I’ve been thinking of putting something together to watch the skies

Thank you for explaining that.
You have a script that puts them together?

Can you explain the picture to me please.
Is it a load of pictures overlapping and what are the black edges and middle area?
How is it created?
