The @pimoroni.com Tufty 2350 Makes a nice compact tool, i2c scanner, needs tidying up the layout but not a bad start :-)

Been working on my Hacky Racers autonomous robot, been vibe coding with Claude. Experience has been very good so far, been able to improve my code and add lots of tests and enhancements including GUIs local/web for the robot, an app calibrating the camera to help with distortion at the edges.

Get well soon, Les.

Quick correction, it is Makespace that is relocating not CamJam.

The kids are great, very positive that they were there sharing/showing off their projects. My Bill blames his exposure STEM/STEAM events and the maker movement to his choice of a mechanical engineering course. 😂

Thank you to everyone who helped/attended yesterday at CamJam hosted at Makespace. It was a great day and sadly be the last time CamJam will be held in this location as CamJam will be relocating in the near future.

The Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, full of energy! Great set, every track from the first alarm played, and all the followed! Visuals were great.

I should be at Cambridge's Makespace getting ready for Cam Jam however I at a gig waiting to see the Kaiser Chiefs 😁, their support band the Corella were good.

Too many questions!

I wrote an app for the @pimoroni.com Blinky 2350, it basically uses pirate example code, the menu image is my own work. :-) #BadgeLife

Parent tech support again, the normal complaint about it being too slow and nagging about not enough memory. login in from home and found about 5 Edge windows open and at lest 60+ tags, most them Facebook games! Wonder what the problem could be 🤔

One possible location is near the railway station on the opposite side of the tracks, plenty of parking close by and we will even have some of our own. :-)

You will be happy to know that it will be the last time it will be held at Makespace's current location, we have to vacate the premises by the 1st June.
Hopefully we will have secured a new location soon.
