Re: Connecting a Raspberry Pi Sense HAT with a ribbon cable

Christopher Smith — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 15:53:53 -0000

using rpi 4 and sense hat,
just a heads up, it has to be in that specific orientation or else you will fry one of the ic on the hat, making it somewhat useless.
learned from experience sadly.

In this case I think you probably can, Yassar. Don't try this with Banoffee Pie though!

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Dominic

Love your moist flapjack recipe...and want to try again. Just wondering...can I replace sweetened condensed milk with unsweetened evaporated milk. I replaced the sugar with honey and want to reduce the sugar further.

Please advise.

Thanks

Yassar

What isn't in the template appears to be where you declare the schema

rpi 4 and Sense hat.
I've (just) mounted a fan, then the sense hat.
Using a male - female 40 w ribbon, I'm connecting as you have (with a m-m) coupler adaptor. So far failing, the ribbon is not making with the pins, but same idea as yours.
Thanks.

Yes, that's what I had to do too. "" :(

Thank you for the article. Unfortunately, this fix no longer works. There was an issue regarding hacked versions of scilexer.dll. In response, Notepad++ now checks the certificate on scilexer.dll, so if you drop the new verson into the directory, Notepad++ refuses to start.

The workaround for now is to use double quotes instead of single quotes.
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
becomes
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>

This makes the highlighting work correctly, but I have no idea if it affects how the Ruby on Rails code behaves.

Sure would be nice if Notepad++ updated to use the new DLL.

Thanks for the tip! Did it work?

I accidentally removed the connector block when I first removed my HAT to attach my Pi3 to the AIY gadget. That was a panicky (and then pleasant) surprise.

Thanks for this guide. Does attaching the HAT this way help with getting a more accurate temperature?

Now that I opened anthemis.com it burned my eyes! I bet usability was never in mind when that one was created.

About this https://github.com/anthemis...
What mentally sane person would fork it and run it when the source code can be read? Just to create a page about myself?!?

Are you the Dominic Sayers that (starting a meme here...) wrote an email address validation service that is actually RFC compliant? :-)
You are my hero of the week. I'm a software tester, I'm actually aware of RFC 822/2822/5322, and I'm using your service to slap our devs around a bit. Yay evil me!

I'll admit the coloured socks thing. But not the tweed.

Are you the Dominic Sayers that used to wear tweed
(3 piece) suits in summer and gay coloured socks?

Hi Dominic
Perfect. You saved me lots of time. The # rule works but simply unchecking Twitter to appear on LI doesn't seem to. I am now able to pick and choose on Hootsuite what I post to LinkedIn as you can with Tweetdeck!

Many thanks Dominic

I've never used Hootsuite so I can't comment on that.

In Tweetdeck, your tweets will be posted to whichever channels are selected at the top (the "From:" area). If you don't want a tweet to go to LinkedIn just make sure your LinkedIn account is not selected when you post it.

It's also possible that your LinkedIn account is "listening" to your tweets. To check this, in LinkedIn hover on your name at the top right then choose Settings. You will see a link Manage Your Twitter Settings. If you click this then you can set LinkedIn to only repeat tweets that have #in in them.

Hi Dominic
I saw a post you wrote about not duplicating all tweets to LinkedIn, which made huge sense. I use Hootsuite and would very much like to pick and choose which Tweets show on LinkedIn for some of the reasons you state, although mainly because it is annoying, particularly for those on LI who do not like Twitter.
I have however found though that when I set up Twitter/Hootsuite or maybe when I used to use Tweetdeck, I must have done something to set up Twitter posts to automatically go to LinkedIn since they all apperat there, even if I haven't checked the selection in Hootsuite.
You seem like a chap who knows his way around this and wondered if you have any bright ideas about how I switch off the auto feed I seem to have created somewhere along the way?......
