I'm still slowly working on improving my homebrew CircuitPython game console. Recently I tackled the problem of screws – they don't work very well with the acrylic case, tend to either be too tight or fall off. So I tried something new: solderable nuts. They can be pick-and-placed and reflowed, and they give you very good way of getting the screws in.

I also experimented with a Xiao S3, but I think that I will switch to an ESP32-S3 WROOM module instead. More testing is required with the S3.

Lol--after 15 years I finally resurrected my 1978 Kawasaki KZ400 "Reloaded"! I put nearly 50 miles on it today but for some reason the battery wasn't charging so I had to park it and put it on charge. I wonder what's wrong with it? ;)

@deshipu wait, you mean it was supposed to make sense all along?

❤️

@deshipu i mean... i can't argue with that logic ;)

@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

you know hacking kubernetes manifests is so much more comfortable in python... is there any drive to get a yaml processor into the python standard lib?

@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu that makes sense, but the "batteries included" is a big part of what makes python so useful. oh well, i'll just keep juggling venvs lol

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu all these reasonable suggestions.... what am i supposed to do! XD

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu this is not helping!

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu appreciate it ❤️ , i'm just using a venv for now. it's just a pain, because all i want to do is write some small scripts to help with debugging, and if the source data were in json that would be wonderful, but it's not...

i probably should install a system-wide version, but i seem to developer an aversion to installing dev packages into my root filesystem lol

@deshipu yeah actually... i think fedora 39 installs python3-pyyaml by default perhaps lol

@deshipu i just tried to install it, but it says it's already there and i just installed this machine less than a month ago, and i know i didn't install it. maybe some dependency needed it.

@deshipu yeah, good call
