Thanks a lot. I dont have that config file on my raspi zero w though. When I try sudo nano /boot/config.txt the contents of that file tell me to not edit it and instead go to /boot/firmware/config.txt Problem is there are no such settings there as you've shown. I have managed to connect via real vnc but its very slow and unstable and raspi keeps disconnecting it
I used this before with two npn transistors and it took too much current from the micro don't know what will happen with one npn and one pnp. the problem is micros and modules are commonly pulled up inside what will guarantee that out put will be low when the second transistor is off can someone help 😭😭
Will this work on a raspberry pi 4 And is it possibly to change the config.txt file via Windows when the sd card is plugged into my computer? Thanks in advance
This will work on a Pi 4. Afaik you won’t be able to access and change the file on the sd card using a windows machine since windows uses a different file system than raspbian on your pi. There are ways to achieve what I assume you want, you can look into that.
Very good video, but I have some questions, 1.do you need to start it manually from Thonny or can you use it simply by naming it main and plugging the pico in, and 2. If it works to run this with main, can I run a 2nd code in there to run in parralel or i have to choose one?
Thanks a lot, Lutz! Really great! After I sorted out, that the I2C-pins used in the Fritzing picture were not the ones used in your code, all worked perfect. Much appreciated!
Hello LUTZ, could you make a video of this same video explaining how to send data from the Pico W to the Android app, please? If it's not too much trouble, could you implement an animation in Android Studio that shows the data from some sensor but in an animated way like a graph? Only if you can, if not, I would appreciate it if you could show how to send data from the Raspberry Pi Pico W to the Android application, please.
Excellent, thanks. Another question re sound: I got the small screen with a 4pin connector plugged into the back to get sound, which worked okay. However the screen was too small and I got myself a HDMI switch where I can share a larger screen between Windows 11 and the Raspberry Pi 4B. The problem is: no sound because I disconnected the small screen. Is there a way where I can plug the 4Pin connector into the Pi's GPIO?
When I try to run the micropython in Thonny, I keep getting an error message that says that it cannot import from mywifi. Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you for your opinion on this machine. I purchased one to do some basic power soldering on my JetSki control box that has some corroded and broken modular connectors. I decided to get this one because it had the hot air and there have been times when I wanted to fix obvious burned out or failed components on a circuit board but did not have a proper soldering iron. Now that I have this, maybe I'll expand my hobby into electronics and by an inexpensive Oscilloscope? 👍
Thanks for your Feedback :-) at my Point of View is a scope Something a can buy but it doesnt give you a big Advantage in diy Projects, Most time you use 5v, or 3v3 Logic Level. Analyse of "real" analog values is Not that often. I would think in direction of a Logic analyser. Alternativ there is a Project (Not on my Channel) with a pi Pico to create a scope. Would be the cheapest solution. Let me know If you buy Something, would be interesting to know your decision.
you want a switch of the type "momentary". most are of the correct type contacts "normally open". (or just "N.O." or "NO") Do not get it if it says "normally closed" / NC.
Great Review. Note that @1:45 the label on the back of the machine says "Guangzhou Yihua Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd." so the unit is indeed made by same company and sold in different countries under different names. Yihua also markets under the name of WEP. They make good quality products that use standard 900m tips (T12 for some models) and have replacement parts available (replacement handles and hot air guns).
