Is there a reason that you'd want to use an embedded board for this task, rather than a desktop PC or laptop? I don't want to discourage anyone from getting into MicroPython and the pyboard but to be honest, if I were faced with this sort of requirement my first call would be a USB-connected data ac...

In order to save something when the power goes down, you need to know that the power is about to go down so that you can take the action you need to save it.

But if you want to do that at 50 locations, then £3 is a lot more attractive than £30! To b...

Unless there's some way of driving the Fadecandy with a "TTL" serial signal, which you could provide from one of the micr...

This is exactly what I was planning to use my micropython board for (adding a trip computer and fuel economy gauge to our old Honda Civic) except that the car now needs a gearbox repair and we're probably going to ditch it in favour of something newer that will probably have that feature already... ...
