Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Chonky Pocket PC - build with a Pi 4, chording keyboard, ampripper psu, 5 inch touchscreen. Details in comments.
I'm glad you like it! :) Nope, no microcontroller for the keyboard, each key is wired to a gpio pin, and same for the two encoder pins. The code to make it work is here: https://github.com/a8ksh4/gpio-keyboard A script/service runs whe the OS boots, checks the state of the gpio pins 100 times a second, translates them to keypresses and signals to the uinput kernel module to generate keyboard and mouse stuff. You could do the same thing with a full keyboard layout and use a matrix rather than dedicated key->gpio.

Raspberry Pi, InfluxDB, Grafana, Docker
It was a bit tricky to get CPU temperature of a host machine (Raspberry Pi) from within the running docker container. This Issue on GitHub has helped me :
- Arduino/ESP32 project --> Raspberry Pi 4 programming/conversion/capability?

What can we do with python, exactly?
No. The pi 4 is not a microcontroller. However, I would recommend gpiozero for a regular pi4

mqtt-gpio: A service which connects MQTT topics to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
I run it in K3s on Raspberry Pi OS. The service is built on gpiozero so should work on other devices. It is a very helpful building block in my DIY home automation system. It's a general purpose connector so it can be configured for many different uses. At present I use it to:

GPIO Programming on the Raspberry Pi: Python Libraries
Gpiozero is already installed in the current Raspberry Pi OS - if not, just run python3 -m pip gpiozero. The source code files can be accessed on Github. The official documentation on readthedocs.io provides rich information and plenty example code.

Build your SO their own "attention button" this Valentine's Day
The code we will write will be in Python. Let's start with just getting the button to register. We will be using the gpiozero library to do this:
