probing the module over serial this is what you can extract for your purpose:https://gadgetoid.gitbooks.io/flotilla-protocol/content/light.html I'm not sure what the current Python API returns tbh......

a trinket would not mind being switches on and off at will from a wall socket, no... sounds like your Pi would be best put to some other use too, but I'm not sure I understood what your current setup...

yes, anything but Pi2/3 is underpowered for anything but serving a flotilla rig over the network. It is perfectly adequate in that context however, which is particularly worth noting for robots and...
View ArticleConsidering the Coupe for Pi3. Issues with ethernet spring clip?
hmm, good point, I just checked three different ones, two pre-made and one I made myself and they're all the same size... maybe if the cable was one where the clip is shrouded, it might be more of an...

yes, I haven't really assessed whether the factor was timing or something else, but I can't get a DHT22 reading from an Explorer (p)HAT. As stated in that topic I recommend you fit a passthrough on an...

if your second light module works then clearly you're doing nothing wrong - it must be DOA... shoot support@pimoroni.com and they'll organise shipping of a replacement.

Thank you for the information. I am already using the shipshape-branch of flotilla-python I can't clearly remember why, but there was an issue with one of the devices. It certainly looks like it...

shrouded RJ45 are pure evil in any and all contexts... I have snipped every single one of them I have come across before use in the last 20 years.

I've also taken a razor and cut away the shroud every time I come across them.
View ArticleConsidering the Coupe for Pi3. Issues with ethernet spring clip?
Thanks to all of you for the first-hand reports. That's my sole complaint about some cases is that they make it incredibly difficult to get the clip depressed to remove ethernet.

Ya there is clear that there is a chip in one of the sensors ... but I had a hard time taking a picture with my phone, then had an issue trying to upload it ... I will send the note now ......

yes, exactly... I use the following myself, which I find easier to work with (the grip is a bit looser so for stacking add-ons/(p)HATs they are better suited):...

Hi, I bought a Broadcom usb hub for my raspberry zero, and it hasn't worked in any way since I bought it. I have a power supply but it's not working in any way. Does anyone have ideas why it would not...

I'm not sure, it looks like the raw visible light level to me, i.e the first in the triplet. Hence why I'm not sure if it's awaiting an extension that may make your code break if you relied on the API...

what have you used to hook it up to the Pi? the shim we sell (when used the right way 'up'), and an OTG cable should work, but not every means to go from USB-A to micro-USB are created equal so you...

Hello, I retried (carefully) a 2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie-lite. I re-formated the SD carefully as FAT and then flashed it with the Hypriot "flash" utility. And the RPi booted up to the login prompt...

A trinket is certainly happy running one of the neopixel strips - even a 3.3v trinket. Obviously you will only have 4 other GPIO pins if you did this, but that's enough for a button to cycle through...
