Thousands of people made their way through Leeds last week to witness the spectacular installations for #LightNightLeeds2022. Thank you to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers that made the night a success! We loved being a part of it. @LightNightLeeds bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-le…

⭐️ New office addition ⭐️ The #Prusa Mini+ 3D printer! As well as having a colour LCD screen that lets you preview your models before printing, it has all the same functions as our Original Prusa i3 MK3S printer. However, it differs slightly in its extrusion system 👇 Thread 🧵

New office tech 👇 The #RaspberryPi #PicoW is the latest member of the @Raspberry_Pi Pico family⭐️ Built around the #RP2040 chip, it is a low-cost #microcontroller board with added #WiFi, which is ideal if you want to use it for an #IoT device.

We had a fantastic day at #LivMF22 showcasing @MadeInvaders. It’s always a privilege to be a part of this event, and it wouldn’t happen without the amazing volunteers that run @LpoolMakeFest every year 👏 We’ll be highlighting some of our favourite makers later in the week👀

The best bit is the @arduino Mega from @oomlout that was only being used for the voltage regulator. But we've moved to modern 5V USB supply now!

Hmm... And in sunlight. Something mechanical then. I'd go for split-flap, flit dot or mechanical 7-segment. Or slide a painted board into a holder!

How big? We did a score counter for @madeinvaders using @matthewvenn's big-8-seg board and @oomlout's #OOBB framework. It still goes out to events

High CO2 typically means too little ventilation for the number of people in the room, so we adjust the Aircon to bring the levels back down - ideally below 500ppm

We do CO2 monitoring in the office via LoRaWAN, at the minute we do collection and alerting, but you could add triggering

It's ok for both things to exist
