Thats good to hear. Enjoy your now working setup.

Ok, now that I can see the images, I suspect you have one or more cold soldered joints. Maybe this will help.

If l press and hold on the picture links it allows me to download them to my tablet.

All I see is two unclickable black boxes with X's in them.

If you think two adjacent pins are shorted, check it with an ohm meter, if you own one. I didn't see the pictures of your soldering so I can't comment on that. The links to those pictures are dead now.
I would think you'd have to put way to much solder on to get a short on the pin side?

alphanumeric

If you are determined to remove the header I'd do as advised above. One pin at a time. The way I'd do it is carefully remove the black plastic bit first. Then heat one pin at a time. When the solder melts hold the Pi tightly in your hand and give it a quick rap against your work bench. Like your kno...

Joy Bonnet pinout is here, https://pinout.xyz/pinout/joy_bonnet#
Start is BCM 26, physical pin 37, according to that.

alphanumeric

If it's i2c its SDA to SDA, SCL to SCL, GND to ground, and Vin to I would think 3.3V?

I've seen some reports of it happening with the 3B+ and Pi Foundation 7 inch touch screen. I've taken to using splitters, one cable to my Pi's micro USB power jack, another cable to my displays Micro USB power, another power feed to my speaker amplifier etc. I don't plug anything into my Pi's USB ot...

alphanumeric

I thought the USB current was software controlled (based on a comment by Jamesh in the Pi3A+ release thread) which indicates to me the USB hub chip controls the maximum available current. On boards without the hub chip, the polyfuse is your limit. On boards without both the hub and the polyfuse, th...

Forgot to mention, adding the max_usb_current=1 to the config.txt for a 3B+ has no effect. Its set to 1.2A by default. Going by this, https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/faqs/#pi-power 1.2A is the MAX current you can draw across all 4 USB ports. I do believe that is set by the poly fuse. Do t...

What I did on one of my Pi builds is make up my own custom USB cables. At the Pi end only the Data +, Data - and ground are connected. Basically Data only. On the device end The +5V comes directly from my power supply, bypassing the Pi's poly fuse. And the Data +, Data - and ground from the Pi. I ha...

First off, its Compute module, not DIMM Raspberry. Going with those may end up being expensive. You'll need the compute module and the dev board to plug it into to use it. How many were you going to use? Have a look at his, https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/cluster-hat It may be cheaper and easier ...

Power supplies are one thing I make it a point to buy from reputable retailers. I don't mind paying for peace of mind.
IMHO, 2.5A is getting iffy with a 3B or 3B+. Especially if you have some other power hungry bits plugged into it.

alphanumeric

I monitor temperature, humidity, and pressure on my indoor weather clock. On my portable version I measure those three plus ambient light and the UV index. I have Sense Hats in both but only use the LED matrix part to display my measurements. I currently use a BME680 and Si1145 breakout boards. The ...

alphanumeric

Not seeing it here. I'd redownload all three images, even though the hashes match. If you haven't already. Its the only common denominator. Maybe download Etcher and reinstall it also.

alphanumeric

I do believe the Enviro pHat suffers the same temperature skewing high issue, when mounted on top of a Pi. Not to the same extent though. I went with the BME680 breakout so I could mount it out in the open away from any heat given off by the other electronics. The Sense hat is a nice bit of kit for ...

alphanumeric

Getting back to the topic at hand. Price is going to factor into "would you buy it" big time. Having lots of sensors is cool, if you use them all? Even when I was using the onboard sensors on my Sense Hat, it was only the temperature, humidity, and pressure. I have yet to ever use the motion sensors...

Ok, just went and downloaded it from Bosh. It appears to be coded in C? Everything else I'm currently doing on that Pi I'm doing in Python. Everything I do on my PI's I do in Python, lol. I have zero C skills. I will be learning some C code, at some point, I just got my first Arduino. I'll poke arou...

alphanumeric

What's the bsec? If thats the air quality part, no, I only monitor the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.

Just Googled it, still no, I'm using the Pimoroni software / python library as its thier Breakout Garden BME680.

alphanumeric

This is what I did, https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjOYwiwlwDtpgq8_0VrdS3_H5xL_AA I put a DS3231 RTC on a Proto Hat and added some more headers for i2c sensor boards etc. I put a stacking header on the Proto Hat so it can go between my Pi and the Sense Hat I ran into several issues with the Sense Hat, temp rea...

Two 3B+'s, two, 3B's, a 3A+, two A's, and a dozen or so, I've lost count, Zero W's.
I've passed on a couple 2B's and B+'s to new homes.
My build pictures are here, https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjOYwiwlwDtpgUMsp2qnevKpGEHb

I've never had any problems using my K400 with Raspbian. I often move it from one Pi to another. The pairing with the Unifying dongle stays regardless of what device its used with. It should be already linked to the dongle that comes with it. I've linked and unlinked devices to my dongles in the pas...

alphanumeric

When I was still working we had certain equipment we were not allowed to repair on station. It had to be sent to a central repair facility. Mostly because it was SMT stuff but also because of the above concerns. It was ground based mill spec equipment used in civil aviation. Even when repaired corre...

alphanumeric

be aware that as you trigger it and the piston moves back, the tip jumps forward. I've got a new solder sucker with a silicone tube for the nozzle. Being flexible it can be pushed right up against the joint to desolder and doesn't jump as much as a regular hard plastic nozzle. It is also heat resis...
