inspired by @pikesley 's recent graphics noodling i have fully removed the #tildagon badge from its electrostatic bag, peeled off the sticky cover from its dinky round screen, and connected it up to the Thonny IDE, where i am looking at its repl in a spirit of "now what" - graphics, sensors, both?

I never got the micropython drivers for the thermal camera working properly, but this would be incentive to have another go, display either an object/background readout with the single-pixel one or an extremely low-resolution heatmap with the 16x16 one

Or maybe the ultrasonic distance sensor driivng the LEDs, though that's a chonky thing to put on an already chonky badge

Anyway i ordered a couple of these protoboard hexpansions https://www.tindie.com/products/jakew/protoboard-hexpansion/ and can now stop thinking about it until they turn up :)
