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.

How to automatically start a program when turning on the pi?
There are a couple of very good guides for starting programs on Github https://github.com/thagrol/Guides
-
What is wrong with my fstab file? I have attempted to add an additional mount point, but it does not mount properly
Have a look at this pdf [Github]
-
Program started using rc.local keeps receiving input from stdout
Obviously as bashrc is executed when you log in connecting twice at once (e.g. two ssh sessions, a VNC + SSH etc) will mean the program runs twice while other user accounts may not run the program at all - this may be what you want but if you are expecting it to run without you having to log in (or only run once) then have a look at the cron and boot pdf guides from Thagrol here [Github]

Kiosk CEC questions from a newbie.
There are two good guides to automatically running commands at https://github.com/thagrol/Guides - look at the cron and boot PDFs
-
How do I get files from my raspberry pi 4 to my PC?
These is a full guide here (use the NAS document) but there are many web pages on SAMBA - I would look at the Pi Foundations notes here to install this and the third section to share the Pis folder.
-
help needed automating a photo slideshow at system startup
I would use a systemd service - have a look at the two startup guides (cron / boot) at https://github.com/thagrol/Guides for more info on starting up programs.
-
turn off screen after booting?
One of the guys in the Pi forums created a couple of handy documents for starting programs - look at the cron and boot PDFs here (the Pi OS is a flavour of Debian so the majority of the process will be fine - some of the commands used could be different or Pi specific).
-
Autostarting with OpenCV
There is a set of guides here https://github.com/thagrol/Guides - have a look through the boot and cron ones for advice.

Can I partition or map a USB port on a laptop to be recognized by other devices as a USB drive?
I think you can even loop mount the virtual USB stick's file system and read the file without virtually disconnecting the virtual USB stick. More info in this guide.

programm with gui but without OS
I use the BLEAK toolkit for Python and Bluetooth as my sensors are GATT servers. All data is sent over BLE broadcasts. Your sensors may be different (I would expect they are) as they could be giving a constant stream of data out. With luck they are not encrypted but here you could be on your own unless someone else has used them before. Starting up a program is documented in the cron and boot PDFs by Thagrol here - these are the no. 1 goto for this on the Pi.

Raspberry Pico Badger: Hardware Features and OS
The recommended way to programm MicroPython on the Raspberry Pico is to use the Thonny IDE. Accessing the Badger with reveals the following file structure:
-
Abstract Classes in Python
Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code.
-
Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?
Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org .
For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment.
IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready.

Macropad with KMK
I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message.

Help me Please
If you think you need an IDE then Thonny is a good one for beginners. It does more than a simple text editor, some of which you won't use initially, but it is more to learn on top of learning python.

Alguem sabe um editor de codigo leve para python?
Usa o thonny. É muito bom e leve.

What’s an free bare bones IDE for Python that works smoothly out of the box?
VSCode is good but I wouldn't describe it as "barebones". I recommend Thonny. It's a Python IDE specifically for beginners.
-
There's just TOO MUCH material!!!
All you really need to learn python is just an installed python interpreter, the command line and a text editor like Notepad, but that's a bit too minimal perhaps. There are things called IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) that bundle up tools such as an editor, build tools and a debugger into one package. I think that a full-blown IDE is overload for a beginner with too much to learn that isn't actually python. If you want to use an IDE try something like Thonny which is aimed at beginners. When you get some experience try other IDEs and Jupyter.

Now, NiceGUI has a build-in persistent user/session based storage.
Maybe a goofy question, and definitely unrelated to the post topic, but: I’m using Thonny to learn Python: can I use NiceGUI with Thonny?
