What a good idea -- there might be some pictures you could take from the project guides.
Fell across this interesting idea from our friends @EdacEurope whilst "doing the tour" at Electronica. Allows you to plug/unplug boards like @Raspberry_Pi Pico without soldering. Cannot show you the PCB underneath - apparently super secret sauce from @_codebug What do we think🤔

If anyone fancies the IoT version of 'hello world there's a very early, rough demo of @cheerlights cbc.docs.codebug.org.uk/gett… I pick green!

Sorry about this, I'll check why it's failing and get someone to post an update. We've not published our source yet; that's not to say we won't, just we're being a bit more cautious after a previous negative experience.
Turns out @_codebug Connects make quite a good test jigs -- have managed to whizz through testing the envirosense sensors.

Should we have received the enviro sense by now? Just checking it's not got lost in the post. Thanks

Not all the sensor boards have gone out yet, so don't think it's been lost. End of the month is our aim for all the addons.

Thanks sorry about that, codebug.org.uk works -- the .co.uk should redirect there, I'll get someone to look into it.
We're still revising some of the blocks too, once we've tamed the shipping/manufacturing should have more time to dedicate to it.
Sorry, I'll add it to the bug list -- at the moment the new/old IDEs are separate
Love the paper night light idea!

Is their some way I can contact someone in order for me to remove an account I no longer have access to?

Hi, we've seen your message, but need to verify the account before deleting it -- this is in process, so assuming noone replies from the account it will be deleted.

Ouch... my eyes! Experimenting with the @_codebug and getting it to display a "heart" using the #cheerlights colour. Someone just set it to #FFFFFF and the Codebug Connect lit up the room. Thankfully it wasn't for long. I'll have to look at implementing a brightness control.

We did limit the brightness, and then some people complained they wanted more! You might be able to convert the colour into HSB and then limit the brightness/saturation cbc.docs.codebug.org.uk/refe…

hmm, that's old code -- docs are hosted on github and it seems to get stuck in the cache. Can you try doing a ctrl-r to force the reload, code should be as shown below
So quick heads up, we've discovered setting up WiFi in Chrome on CodeBug Connect can be buggy. Firefox and Safari work -- we'll provide a firmware update next week.

Fix is now in latest firmware update -- instructions here as to how to get it. cbc.docs.codebug.org.uk/gett… Set your WiFi up with cbc.docs.codebug.org.uk/gett… if you can't select with browser

To clarify, the fix is for the WiFi button in Chrome, not a fix for modemmanager -- we can't control that one!

I've had modemmanager break stuff before, someone else posted logs and this weekend and in that case uninstalling fixed it -- stopping is less drastic!

have you got modemmanager on usb 18.04?
#codebug arrives in style....

I need a hardware key which isn't on this machine to get into the website. If you want to register as a new user I can merge the accounts later.

With the old version you didn't have to, the problem we had was people would do a project and then want to save it. Sometimes they'd try and register, get their email wrong and the project would be in limbo. Open to suggestions to avoid the registration while allowing saving
