Errata

P.90: The caption should read: “A semi-filled button. It doesn’t take long to fill in the centre of the button, and is actually quite a meditative process. Centuries ago buttons were a status symbol, worn by men and women primarily as an adornment – the fancier the button, the higher their status”

P.96: The TinyFX review should read:

“Living up to its name, this RP2040-based board is truly tiny: 31.2 × 23.2×6.2mm. The connectors are also smaller than usual: the JST-SUR type with 0.8mm pin pitch. Fortunately, Pimoroni sells some matching LEDs, or you can buy the Tiny FX starter kit with some bundles. There are six two-pin numbered connectors on the board to control individual mono LEDs, plus a single four-pin one for RGB; each port features a status LED – a nice touch. Given its diminutive footprint, the Tiny FX is ideal for use in lighting doll’s houses, LEGO kits, and other models. It also has a Qwiic/STEMMA QT port to connect a sensor, so you can use environmental triggers for your lights. Amazingly, there’s even an on-board 3.2W I2S amplifier so you can connect a mini speaker.”
