I'm not really a regular poster, much more of a lurker and commenter, but I'm very capable.

Mixed heritage, AuDHD, cis-male, queer, married to a genderfluid individual and very connected in the LGBTQ community in the Bay Area California.

Dedicated self-hoster, I handle everything engineering from networking, devops, software development (full stack), server automation, electronics and PCB design, and with the help of genAI I'm finally learning how to build a decent front-end.

I used to moderate a solarpunk discord server (in addition up the one for my PCB business) but left after the co-founder went a little nuts and then the big breach just made me distrust the platform entirely.

I'm not sure if my post history is still up on Reddit anymore, as I haven't posted there in years now, but I used to be quite active under the same handle "pyr0ball"

My partner and I refer to them as Caws and Gronks respectively based on the usual noise

I always read it as "et-c" to get that pronunciation

Have a look at the Pinout guides, and you should get in the habit of reading datasheets. They usually will have reference designs for the power delivery (pins like vcc, vsys, etc). Also most gpio pins will have multiple functions depending on the use case, and some pins may have more or different features. Sounds like with your particular setup, you'll just need basic digital pins, but if you wanted to add features like RGB backlights or an analog input of some kind like for volume control, you may need to take advantage of either a high speed data pin (for the LEDs) or an ADC pin for the analog sensing.

I've never tried my own home brew before and I've been sitting on two kits for years now (got them sitting the pandemic but never found the time) and I wanted to try to start something

The original juice and hops are probably toast by now so I'll have to purchase some new, but I've got two of those jugs and the other bits that come with them.

I also have a small orchard in my back yard and wanted to try to use the thousands of plums in get every year to make some kind of lambic ale.

Any advice is appreciated!

Ok so that leaves it up for some artistic license like

It allows users to run the script on any installation of Python no matter where it's located, as well as allowing a user to set up specific Python package versions separate from the system-native ones.

Basically for flexibility and easy setup

Try a venv or miniconda and use the universal shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Edit: you've activated my brain shrimp, so I'll be back with an interactive setup script in a bit

Edit2:

Sorry I know it's GitHub but codeberg doesn't support gists yet and I can't fully test this by myself. Seems to work fine on Linux mint. I'll do some testing on Windows later
