Happy New Year!!!
So, all y'all made it safely into 2025, nobody got hurt, so no injuries and/or property damage, perhaps not even a hangover? Very good. Because, in that case there's no excuse to skip this one, as always both in person at and online:

Got em working yet?
Watch the ordering of the wires!
The copper colored wire is +5V.
The adjacent/middle wire is ground and the
final wire is data (WS2812 variety).
Note that these are different from the
strings from Pimoroni - the ones they use
with the glass stars, skulls, and blocks. ? ? ? ? -Rusty-?
I ordered three yesterday...arrived today.

Just ordered 4 to be here tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see if the order is filled.
Most WallyWorld stores ?simply don't have a shelf space for them any more?
but a store in?Maryland over Thanksgiving actually had a Clearance sticker
for them and I thought "Uh oh!"??Since most of the stores in this area
that I've visited?don't have them, it's probably best?to try and?order
them thru the website, which I did.? Regular price was $14?and?change but
clearanced at $7+.? ? ? ? ? -Rusty-??
These lights:
appear to be on Clearance. Which explains why one can't find them in
store any longer. They used to be $13 or so in between.
Looks as if there's some looting going to happen around here very soon.

Both, but I got mine from the store on Exchange.
Five meters of 3 thin wires.? Similar to the strands
that come from Pimoroni and their glass containers

Sorry, no DFWRPI on 2024-11-02....
Sorry, all y'all, no DFWRPI this November, I'm going to attend
at UT Arlington. Pretty much a must, since it's within easy reach and free.
See you in December!

Re: The Raspberry Pi CM5 is Weeks Away?
I didn't think so.? The CMs are not really standalone products.? If you wanna tinker with one you need a breakout board otherwise it goes into another [3rd party] product.
Come to think of it, has anybody in here ever used any CM anywhere?

Re: A new release of Raspberry Pi OS came out today!
Here's the low down on the new release. Read through the comments about some of the issues folks are experiencing. Personally, I'll stick with good ol' X Windows for a while.
