@rpimag Progress made on my Pico powered level crossing, with one of the motorised gates installed - and a glimpse of how it will all work together with my existing lights. Follow-up video to Part 1 (https://youtu.be/9yudxhjFEF8?si=CMNu1c6CRPKhgrMw) also nearly finished. #makermonday

@rpimag I wrote a hardware abstraction framework so that I could port #MicroPython games written for a specific device to run on any hardware. Here is an example game where the exact same code module is running in Pygame on a computer where I can debug in full Python, and on the https://badgewa.re Tufty2350 badge from #Pimoroni. The game module has no hardware dependencies. All hardware access is via a class passed in, providing the methods needed to interact with it. #MakerMonday

@rpimag The stepper motor option for my crossing gate automation is proving a bit jerky using direct drive, so I may have to sort out some 3D printed gears. #MakerMonday

@rpimag I installed a Raspberry Pi media player below a Swift nest box on the side of my house. It plays recordings of Swifts nesting at dawn and dusk to try and attract first year nesters to the new site as part of a Swifts conservation project. #MakerMonday
