The Saturday afternoon workshop was to work with the Raspberry PicoW to reproduce and extend an existing project that is hosted on UCC’s Gitlab server.
Access to the UCC was by telephoning the club room to be let in downstairs which went smoothly.
Nick suggested that we could either build the design, which meant connecting the reed-switch and several resistors to the board-edge holes, or work on installing the project software into the Pico. After testing the read-switch with a multimeter we decided to use our two hours to work on the software aspects of the project.
