How to Create and Publish Your First Python Library to PyPI

@rpimag East Essex Hackspace is current rebuilding its Hacky Racer with twin motors, an ODrive to control them and a Pi Pico to do mixing of throttle, steering and brakes. We're still in the early stages...

@rpimag I recently moved into a new workspace (dubbed "the doghouse") and one nice thing is I now have room for a permanent Pi500 plus Rpi monitor, just getting it setup now!
@rpimag I'm still working on my Sharp MZ series emulator for the Pico/Pico 2 ... Lots of pictures and notes here: https://z80.timholyoake.uk/the-pico-mz-80k/

Good morning, everyone! It's magazine deadline week here at Raspberry Pi Towers, wish us luck

Are you working on any Raspberry Pi or Pico projects? We'd love to see a photo - it may end up in the mag

This cyberdeck project is straight out of our 80s dreams https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/articles/cyberdeck-2

We can’t imagine the looks you’d get using this machine on your daily commute, but apparently the maker of this wonderful machine does just that.

What's inside the case? A rad Pico electronics and programming station! https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/articles/programming-station

Spot the microcontroller: we can see an Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, a pair of ESP32 boards, and a Raspberry Pi Pico, all waiting to be played with.

1) driving an ePaper display

2) controlling the height of my desk.

@rpimag I gave MicroPython a whirl (as CircuitPython doesn't support Bluetooth on the the Pico W) and wrote questionable code that scans BLE for Inkbird ITH-11-B Thermo-Hygrometers every few minutes and relays the data (humidity/temperature/battery level/rssi/MAC address) to my MQTT server over WiFi.

I then have another script which saves the data from MQTT and graphs using RRDtool.
