100 Days of Code Day 61
Today’s exercise was All your Base. It took me a long time but I got it working. I wanted to convert it as I went but instead I converted the digits to a number then using modulus math and division I converted it to the desired base. The community solutions were using annoying LINQ stuff, so even though I don’t particularly like my solution at least you can read it. I also got a badge for doing the exercise.
Good for me
For today’s actual coding, I did say I wanted a palate cleanser so I decided on physical computing, or playing with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Lets see if I can get an LCD screen to say Hello World! Well slow down there. We have to start at the beginning. I am following the book “Programming the Pico 2nd Edition” by Simon Monk. So far I have finished chapter 3. The video is a pi pico blinking the S.O.S. distress signal. MicroPython is more capable than I was expecting.
