Useful read for understanding the supply of RPi's.
BTW, Microcenter in Dallas shows a supply of RPi 3A+'s. -- ? ?_____

Re: DallasRPI Usergoup Meeting 4/2022
Sounds like a plan. I like remote controlled systems. Including VNC.
Appreciate the heads-up and good work!

Quick and easy 10 minute demo. Plus a little more time? if there is interest in how we manage manual vs remote control of our system (not using VNC).

Heads-up, all y'all, the weather forecasts right now state that driving conditions are going to improve only Saturday in the PM. Because of this, this Saturdays' DFW RPI meeting is going to be online only.

Software is still 1 week behind where I want it to be, but we have OTA so no big deal.
Here is an interesting diagnostics screen, python with pysimplegui.
All of the gui layout is done in about 120 code lines, without compressing lines into each other.
The top 3 charts are static, showing how much power system motorized valves use.
The bottom 6 charts scroll to the left, like an oscilloscope. Where there are 3 different legend colors the charts are auto ranging in the y scale for the color band. This allows us to show small values in detail, while still being to draw big y numbers on the same chart.
The right hand side with the multiple check box colors shows the results of automated system tests. There are over 90 gui updateable objects in this screen.
At least 2022 is moving in the right direction.
