I loved my Watchy. It is a watch for geeks. I got a lot of fun out of it. But it has now stopped working. Probably the battery. But I made the decision not to replace the battery. In the spirit of adventure, I’ve opted for a new toy. I never took a photo of The full story here…

One year later and someone moved the project, sadly some of the wires fell out. So here is how to fix it when this happens again. Rewire the LCD The display has 4 outlets. The white on the image is physical pin 19 which we are going to connect indirectly to the Lcd pin marked The full story here…
Pico Temperature Sensor
My advent calendar didn’t have chocolate this year. Instead it had a Pico and lots of LEDs. Thanks to The Pi Hut for a very enjoyable project, and for the extensive guides which help a person get up and running with the Pico.

Added a button so that I can make the box do something. On the WEMOS the button sits between D5 and D0 – they are adjacent pins.
Connected Little Sandwich Box – Communication
We have two connected little boxes which we want to talk to each other. Connect them in turn to the computer. Use the Arduino ide. Launch the serial monitor, and make sure it is 115200 baud Type dump mqtt. Copy each line that needs changing, and add the value to the end. Enter the completed The full story here…

Fix the Kitchen Scale
Our scale was not very expensive, we have had it for over a decade, and we could probably replace it at very small expense. But that is not the point, is it.
Led Mask
I saw a post last year from Tyler Glaiel on Medium, and decided to copy his idea and make a mask.
