About this deal

The DIY Walky Talky board is basically the same minus all parts related to LoRa messaging (LoRa module, keyboard, and display). The MessengerPi and DIY Walky Talky boards would mostly be useful for outdoor communications when hiking, farming, boating, etc… outside the range of any cellular networks, but SB Components won’t provide an enclosure, so you’d better hope it won’t rain, or keep the board in your RV, tractor, or boat… MicroPython comes with a lot of built-in support for simple devices and communication protocols to start some fun experiments. But there are also a lot of things available for fiddling with more complex hardware. So, if you’re looking for something more advanced to do, go to the various tutorials available across the web. It worked as expected. Since my RP2040-Zero does what I anticipated, I worked through many other examples, starting here http://www.pibits.net/code/raspberry-pi-pico-and-neopixel-example-in-micropython.php. Having used Raspberry Pi Pico and Thonny before I found everything straightforward. As usual, the company does not provide any details or source code about the firmware during the crowdfunding campaign, so you have to trust them and cannot evaluate the software support before pledging your hard-earned money. They typically release libraries and sample code on their GitHub account but only have funding received. In the meantime, you can still watch a promotion and demo video below. Today’s announcement is a vital step forward in eradicating UK fuel poverty and improving the lives and homes of low-income households, all while creating new work for local plumbers, builders and tradespeople who will be building homes fit for our greener future.

The SHDF Wave 1 Competition will launch 23 August and run for 8 weeks until 15 October 2021. Successful applicants will be announced in early 2022.The RP2040-Zero board comes with or without pre-soldered pin headers (the pre-soldered version may cost a bit more). The castellated printed circuit board allows soldering direct to SMD carrier boards, while the USB-C connector keeps it up to date and easier to use. This is not a breadboard-friendly microcontroller module. The company actually provides two boards: the MessengerPi itself for both calls and messaging with a keyboard, and the smaller “ Walky Talky” board for audio communication only and without a LoRa module. With a real appetite among councils and housing associations to make their homes cheaper to heat and warmer to live in, this investment is putting the power in the hands of the people who know their communities best, allowing the right decisions to be made for each home they manage while ensuring the very best for their tenants and the environment.

In the RP2040 SoC, we have two cores (0 and 1). They both share the same memory that they can communicate with. In single core operation, core 0 executes all the code you have written, while in a multicore program, core 0 starts, then hands a series of executable functions to core 1 to process in parallel. Let me remind you again, you don’t need to unplug the RP2040-Zero from your computer’s USB port to reset it. Simply push and hold the reset button, press the boot button, release the reset button, and then release the boot button. Your RP2040-Zero will reconnect as a USB mass storage device. And with homes accounting for 15% of the UK’s carbon emissions, the investment will also help towards eliminating the country’s contribution to climate change by 2050. The weather hasn’t been cold since the work was completed, and even on hot days, I noticed that my home was comfortably cool unlike before, which was great.

SB Components MessengerPi is a DIY messenger and walkie-talkie based on a Raspberry Pi RP2040 that relies on LoRa communication for P2P messaging over distances of up to 5 kilometers and calls up to 300 meters away.
