  1. I have some #Pimoroni #BreakoutGarden sockets that I'm wiring onto a #Tildagon #Hexpansion because I have a few breakouts I'd like to use.

    #I2C pins are obvious, but the connector has an ambiguous additional pin that is different on every board.

    I guess I'll wire each one to a separate Tildagon GPIO. Which kinda de-generalises having everything on one i2c bus. (some boards its an interrupt out, some its a trigger in, on many its unused)

    What do their official #RaspberryPi boards do here?

  2. I wasn't satisfied with #Sensirion's #USB powered #CO2 traffic light due to its hardcoded thresholds, so I built my own using a #RaspberryPiZero with solderless #ZeroDongle, #I2C #BreakoutGarden Mini #pHAT, Sensirion #SCD41 CO₂ sensor breakout and the #Pimoroni #LEDShim. All parts available at shop.pimoroni.com except for the Pi which is sold out.

    The code behind it is based on two library examples by @gadgetoid and available at github.com/xtaran/co2-led-mete under the #MITLicense.
