I found another use for those 1.2" 240px × 240px round LCDs.
Code here. Arrow currently moves back and forth rather than properly spinning, but hey, it's free code! https://github.com/bikerglen/round-lcd-gauges/tree/main/atom-lite-rlcd-fuck-spinner

@bikerglen that code appears to contain your home Wi-Fi and password mate
Removing sensitive data from a repository - GitHub Docs

If you commit sensitive data, such as a password or SSH key into a Git repository, you can remove it from the history. To entirely remove unwanted files from a repository's history you can use either the git filter-repo tool or the BFG Repo-Cleaner open source tool.

@bikerglen it’s a wild thing, to go form making your own commits to private repo with no worries for safety, to publishing to public and all of a sudden you have to sanitize your code lol
@tekeous I included my pushover.net token in a commit at work when writing a script to notify that a batch job on the grid was done. My coworkers had a great time sending useless garbage notifications to my phone until I changed the token.

@tekeous @bikerglen hah, once I was streaming the bring up of my custom HVAC controlled and cat’ed out the config that included my WiFi password.

Cue me closing the stream, scramble to create separate smart home network and change all of the credentials, before resuming.

@flameeyes @tekeous lol. Seems to happen to everybody eventually!
@bikerglen This looks like the wrong thing to put in an airplane console (until it's time for contract negotiations).
@bikerglen the new magic eight ball
@bikerglen this is an amazing piece of hardware
@bikerglen I need this as a pin when I am at work hahaha
@bikerglen you're missing "YEAH" and "AROUND". 😁
@evana I'll have to make a happy version with "YEAH" "YEAH" "YEAH" "YEAH" "YEAH" "YEAH" . Software FTW!

@bikerglen is there a version for this:

Fuck it all the fuck out of the fucking brat"

@bikerglen If someone could design an Apple Watch face like this, and operate the spinner by clicking on the crown button = gold. Take my money 💰
@hannsf truly a million dollar idea! Already flicked my Garmin over a few times thinking about it.

@bikerglen @hannsf When I can put it on my Garmin watch, I totally will!

Cheers!

@bikerglen @hannsf In fact

Make a "watch" app that is a 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and 100 "sided die"... For gaming.... You'll be riiiiiiich!

@bikerglen
Reminds me a bit of the @jwz "Compass" animation, as first seen here:

And a higher-res, more 'round' version here:

@bikerglen really makes me wish these round LCDs had touch surfaces on them!

@bikerglen @todbot

Oh man, this makes me want to work on my 22mm control panel indicator project again!

@ve7fim @todbot M5Stack has some sort of round LCD knob encoder thing in the works. Maybe calling it M5Ring. They've been teasing the mechanics and packaging for quite some time now. Maybe soon.

@bikerglen @todbot

My plan was to make one of these, only using a circular LCD instead of a LED diffusor:

@bikerglen this is not a oled?
@piotrsikora It has an LED backlight so pretty sure it's an LCD.
@bikerglen yeah, oled works without backlight.
Nice… where to buy it?
@bikerglen I'd also buy one of these !
@bikerglen
I absolutely love this
@bikerglen HW source for this? do you have a link?
@leyrer I bought them off aliexpress years ago. Something like this one with the circuit board: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801220830283.html
@bikerglen I need this :) I need it as a badge or button to wear :)

@bikerglen Now all it needs is an accelerometer and some sort of logic controller so you could shake it to spin and have the needle point in the direction of gravity if left to rest.

I don't know why I find the idea of an accurately stimulated digital spinner to be so enticing but now I want one.

@Plan_A_to_Y There are touchscreen versions of this size of LCD so stay tuned!
