Thanks PJ,
Thanks for that,
my story is probably similar to yours, it’s been a fantastic career all over the world doing all sorts of things.
To get into technicals we’ve written firmware for the Pico that allows us to talk VISA at it. One of the commands allows I2C, SPI, UART commands … SPI and UART are still on my list of things to test. Most other GPIO functionality is sorted.
I’m concentrating on I2C currently and have got the thermal camera, thermocouple, 4-chan and in, an out (m5stack) boards working amongst others. These give the biggest wow factor.
I’ll show some examples, when I get some time. And can work out how to embed vids and links.
We’ve also built a Lubuntu Virtual Machine image with LabVIEW community edition preloaded.
Finally down the wire we’re building out a vision package… it’s all free and open source… Or will be.
It’s all voluntary, but progress is good so far.
All the best, I expect we’ll be talking more
Steve
