@csierra67 Thank you for your reply. I ve been looking at the get tick ms function but really no idea how to use or programme it and can find no examples. I also figured out after hours (yeah I’m not very good) how to write an actual software timer whoop whoop! This appears to be on time as best I can tell but if I call the timer loop any quicker than 100ms it all goes Pete tong and random numbers and sequences seem to get generated. 1/10th, seconds and minutes at 100ms is the fasted stable timer I can get. I’m guessing the processor power is just not there to even run the timer that quick?? As you say the tick function is the way to go but not something I can figure out on the Arduino is reasonably straight forward to use but I’m not finding that so here. Given the nature of programming and the use of timers I’m amazed there are not more or options or better examples. The absence of a system clock within the unit baffles me :) Thank for your help Adie

Anyone got any more thoughts? My intension is to raise it as a bug (I think we've exhausted our best ideas).

Does anyone know what plastic the enclosures are made of, particularly the white sensors? Nylon can be dyed with Rit or Dylon.

Hi, @cowcowtweet increases header input

Hi @arzaman, Sorry to answer with a question, but I just want to check I've understood. You want to accommodate the 5V supply into this sensor and associated 5V? logic output from it down to the 3V3 input of StickC, Core2, etc? A couple of thoughts: #1 StickC has a 3V pin out on the end opposite Groove port, so I guess you could go from the head end of the StickC to sensor (reduce all to 3V3). #2 Copy the voltage divider circuit a lot of the M5Stack sensors use (they are quite cheap, so you could even use one as a donor and solder your sensor on to it). https://docs.m5stack.com/en/unit/dual_button #3 I've a feeling Seeed, DFRobot, Waveshare do a mini board to do such a thing, but probably equivalent to donor M5Stack part. If you used the M5Stack Mini Dual Button Unit as a donor/connection board. I suppose you could have two inputs, pin 32 and pin 33, hide the pull up resistors, etc. Or the Proto units, perhaps an easier solder at home proposition. Q) If it "can be powered from data line. Power supply range is 3.0V to 5.5V", would 5V power issue go away anyway? https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/temperature-probe-ds18b20-arduino-compatible-adapter?variant=39365415829587 (NB Alt schemtic for circuit)

@gavin67890 I was able to get it working with 32/33 just by assigning with uart1 = machine.UART(1, tx=32, rx=33) which it looks like is the same the guy did in the video
