How do you get the case to close with things plugged in like that? I have a Pimoroni and the white receptacles are right up to the back case. I don’t think I can fit anything in there. Did you do trim down the black plastic socket somehow?
Also, I’m not sure, but since I put the pimoroni in (and flashed webmite 6.00.03) I think the batteries don’t charge; the LED in the top right doesn’t come on like it did with the original pico. I had to solder the header pins on myself and I’m a little concerned I might not have done the greatest job.
Edit: Nevermind about the second paragraph: I got the ports mixed up because the Pimoroni has a USB C connector! Charging works fine if I plug the cable in the right hole, LOL.
It just barely fits! The wire with the connector is pinched against the case when plugged into the socket, but it works. Yes, I would gratefully take just one more millimetre of clearance to be happy.
Good job !. I still prefer my method of attaching to the Pico socket as gives the option to daisychain other modules in the (near) future and change core whenever I fancy ….
Now with two Stemma QT connectors for further modules. Three planned so far, heartrate/blood oxygen, FRAM, compass/accelerometer. Possibly 5-port passive hub, temperature/humidity, speech, some kind of light strip too. I’ll see what I can squish into the case back….
Yes 9 and 10 with Vsys for supply (max 2A but also used for the PicoCalc). Note there are two i2c channels, each capable of addressing daisychained devices as long as they have unique addresses (this can be overcome too with an address translator).
I have 32Kb Fram installed now daisychained to my DS3231 rtc, working perfectly. It handles its own writeback so transparent to the user. Getting around 1096 bytes per second sending an integer array at 10Khz, 200 bytes per second if sent one byte at a time. Trying to figure out what I2C buses and addresses the picocalc uses for itself now as need to up the bus speed !
If I find it worthwhile I’ll stack modules to increase the size. Max 7 modules though (224Kb) as the 8th would clash with a heartrate/blood oxygen sensor going in soon .
