If We Can’t Have the Parties, At Least We Have the Coats: Lookbook no.13

Hi to anyone reading,

It’s been a weird winter, right?

A winter that I REALLY did not need to buy as many clothes for as I have. You WILL save loads of money during this lockdown, I told myself. You WILL. And yet here I am in December, in exactly the same financial position I was in March. You would think that making the switch to an environmentally friendly wardrobe would mean I own less but now I no longer have the guilt of supporting fast fashion to hold me back, I’ve accumulated more clothes than ever. Part of a sustainable wardrobe is also about reducing your consumption so now I’ve mostly made the move towards only supporting transparent companies/small businesses, I can move onto the buying less part. I haven’t thrown any clothes away but still, I am not the clothes rescuer I think I am-more just an overdraft abuser. To add to that, for those of us actually following the rules (half the people I went to secondary school with flaunting their apparently unaffected social lives on Instagram, I’m looking at you) there aren’t actually all that many opportunities to wear new outfits. Not to go too first world problems, but it is a little shit when getting dressed up and doing your makeup is one of the things that you do to help you feel a little better, especially when the seasonal (and situational in these times) depression kicks in.

So yes, I have been extra af recently and combatted this with the decision to start making an effort to outfit plan for the most basic of tasks. We’re talking a full face of makeup and accessories for going into town to get a coffee or to meet a friend for a walk. I mean, I still go to Tesco in my trackies but if I’m seeing somebody else, I am sure as hell going to treat it as a reason to wear something nice. See the winter outfits section of the lookbook as your inspiration to do the same because I can guarantee you the sense of normality forcing yourself to take makeup off at the end of the day brings will actually make you feel a lot better. Genuinely the mark of exceptional times. We’ve also got the few days relief period over Christmas in the UK where we’re allowed to mix with a maximum of 3 other households, and ignoring the fact that it doesn’t really make any sense given that the number of people you could end up mixing with depends on the size of the households and is realistically completely arbitrary (I have a lot of feelings about how fucking moronic half the decisions this government has been making are but then again, what’s new?), I’m sure those of you with big families are gonna be partying. I’m only spending Christmas with my immediate family but I thought I’d put some more festive outfits together anyway. I know, I know, it sounds like I’m just bullshitting an explanation as to why I put this lookbook together when in reality I’m trying to make myself feel better about the damage to my bank account buuuut it really is more a case of being inspired by my Depop finds and if you are trying to quit fast fashion, I can’t recommend the app enough (especially if you know what you’re looking for). As I did in the last lookbook, I will make sure to include the tags of all the people I bought these pieces from but I also thought it might be helpful to make a note of some of the descriptors I used to find them so you can get more of an idea how to find the things you’re looking for too, as well as prices. I did include the names of the shops I bought the few fast fashion items I styled from too, mostly earlier this year or at some point over the last couple of years, on the basis that they may be a useful search prompt if you’re looking for something similar or the exact item-the majority are no longer available (disclaimer: I haven’t bought anything from Boohoo in a longgg time) to buy but you might be able to find an account that’s selling a used version. Don’t be put off by that-I’ve had to wash a couple of pieces but for the most part, that hasn’t been necessary. Charity shops usually wash things before they put them out, so you have nothing to worry about there either-I expect that they’re particularly thorough at the moment considering the COVID crisis.

Enough rambling from me for now! Enjoy!

Anyone that read to the end, thank you so much as always and I hope this shows just how many in-trend pieces you can find second hand! I know I'm SUPER far behind to the point where it’s closer to the F/W2021 shows now than it is since the S/S2021 collections were showcased but I decided I am going to do a full length fashion week review. I also have a few moodboards planned and my next is gonna be one focussing purely on plus sized fashion as the feedback that I got from my New Style Icons post was that I could have included more bigger girls; I am so, so, SO passionate about body positivity and fat acceptance, especially since I know my own relationship with my body would be so much better if this kind of movement was more prominent when I was younger, so I don’t for a minute want anyone to think it was my intention to be exclusionary in any way. It bears repeating that I genuinely appreciate feedback in any form (as long as it’s not too mean and presumptive, lol) and I hope the next post doesn’t disappoint! It hasn’t been a good year for cinema due to COVID having lead to theatre closures, however I still do want to do another film tier ranking in the new year as that is something I really enjoyed doing last time. Any more suggestions are welcome!

As always, my inbox is always open if you need someone to talk to or just wanna chat about a post:-) I am constantly on the look out for new blogs to follow and people to interact with so any communication is welcome. I’m not sure if I’ll get another post finished before we enter 2021, SO I wanna say that I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and that this shitshow of a year DOES come to an end at 11:59PM on the 31st because THOSE MEMES ABOUT IT TURNING DECEMBER THE 32ND ARE NOT FUNNY! Here’s to our second attempt at our first year of the roaring twenties (because this past year it feels like we skipped them and went straight to The Great Depression, the likely incoming recession denial is real) and to happier times and good health for everyone.

How to make the eWoggle

Note on costs: Some people have commented on the cost of this project. Please remember that this ‘eWoggle’ is based around a fully functioning computer called a Raspberry Pi, which costs from £4.65. As the woggle is a computer it can be used for all of the things a computer is used for: surfing the net, playing games, checking your email, building a robot, etc.

Okay, so while you are wearing it on your uniform you won’t be able to use it for some of these things but when you get home, plug in a keyboard and mouse and plug it into your TV and you’re away!

So don’t think of this as an expensive woggle, think of it as a very, very cheap computer!

INTRODUCTION

This ‘eWoggle’ is based around the Raspberry Pi computer. You may not have heard of it, but the Raspberry Pi is the third biggest selling type of computer in history!

You can find out more about what a Raspberry Pi is here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/what-%20is-a-raspberry-pi/

Before we go any further I should explain that I am not a computing expert by any means. As a special needs teacher, I have had to teach some basic computing and to help me with this I did one of the early ‘Picademy’ courses run by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (an educational charity funded from sales of the computer). If you are a teacher and would like to use the Raspberry Pi in your teaching at any level (or any key stage) then I highly recommend this course:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/training/picademy/

As someone who has tinkered with the Raspberry Pi for a number of years, including helping to organise and run a Cubs District Digital Maker Camp (contact me on Twitter for more info), I tend to have lots of Pi-related bits and bobs lying around. From some of these, I decided to make a woggle.

For this project, you will need four main components, the Raspberry Pi computer itself (from £4.65), the ‘screen’ made of LEDs (called a scroll pHAT HD - £12.50), the actual woggle and a power-bank (£1) to run it on. As you read through the project you will see that there are other optional extras but these are the basics.

For ease, I have divided these instructions into three parts:

Setting up the Raspberry Pi and Scroll pHAT HD

Making the physical woggle

Coding the woggle

Please do feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions about this page and I can make corrections improvements as needed. You can tweet me @mvnorwood

1: SETTING UP THE RASPBERRY PI AND THE SCROLL PHAT HD

The ‘screen’ that the writing appears on is an ‘add-on’ for the Raspberry Pi. These add-ons give extra functionality to the Raspberry Pi and are called HATs - Hardware Attached on Top - and the smaller sized ones are called pHATs.

There are many different HATs for all sorts of purposes from building robots to allowing you to control the computer by waving your hand in the air! This eWoggle uses the Pimoroni Scroll pHAT HD which comes in several colours and can be bought here:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/scroll-phat-hd?variant=2380803866634

Pimoroni are a fantastic company who are ever so helpful when you contact them.

You will notice that the Scroll pHAT HD comes with a ‘female header’ which needs to be soldered on. The female header is a kind of ‘socket’ that allows the Raspberry Pi to be plugged into the pHAT. People who know me will also know how cack-handed I am! There is no way I have the skills to solder something like this so I cheat and use this:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/gpio-hammer-header?variant=35643318026

This lets you use a hammer to attach the header rather than a soldering iron! Instructions for using the hammer header jig can be found here (or use a youtube video):

https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/fitting-hammer-headers

You also need to set up your Raspberry Pi. For this project, you need to use the ‘mini’ version of the Raspberry Pi called the Zero and you have three options, either:

The Raspberry Pi Zero £4.65 (basic model - no WiFi or Bluetooth) or

The Raspberry Pi Zero W £9.30 (has wifi and Bluetooth but no header) or

The Raspberry Pi Zero WH (WiFi and Bluetooth and a header already soldered in place) £13.00

If you are using the hammer header kit recommended above, then you already have a male hammer header ready to hammer on to the Pi, so I recommend that you buy the second option, the Raspberry Pi W which can be bought here:

https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w

It looks like this (1p coin shown for reference):

You now need to attach the hammer header. Hitting things with a hammer is fun, especially if you’re a Scout!

Using the special ‘jig’ is essential. This video shows that it makes attaching the header child’s play:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sej_SHZpZI

Here is my jig set up ready to use:

Take great care and be gentle with the hammer. You don’t want to damage the Pi.

Okay, so you should now have a Pimoroni Scroll pHAT HD and a Raspberry Pi Zero W both with ‘headers’ (pins or sockets) attached.

An optional extra that I use is a ‘diffuser’. A diffuser is just a piece of plastic that is a little opaque. It makes the LEDs on the pHAT easier to look at and read. It is not essential but only costs £3 and can be found here:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/phat-diffuser

Take a careful look at the photos on that page to see how to attach the diffuser to the pHAT correctly using all of the nuts supplied.

When you use a computer you are probably used to using an ‘Operating System’ like Windows or OSX or even ChromeOS (like me). The Raspberry Pi can run many different operating systems (including a special version of Windows 10) but the most common system to run is Raspbian. Raspbian is based on Debian which is a version of the Linux Operating System that you may have heard of.

You may be used to your Operating System being stored and run from a Hard Drive (or sometimes an SSD).On a Raspberry Pi the Operating System and other files are stored and run from a microSD card just like the ones used to store music, video and photos on a mobile phone.

You will need to either buy a NOOBS microSD card with the Raspbian Operating System already on it or make your own following instructions on the Raspberry Pi website ( https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/raspberry-pi-setting-up/3 ).

To program the Pi with the code you will need to plug it into a TV, keyboard and mouse. Any TV with HDMI will do, and any mouse and keyboard with USB. Be aware that the Zero version of the Pi uses micro USB so you may need an adaptor.

All of the instructions needed for setting up your Raspberry Pi ready to use can be found here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero/

2: MAKING THE PHYSICAL WOGGLE

Every Scout knows that there are many ways of making a woggle: leather, plastic, paracord, wood, tin cans, etc. This eWoggle is no different. This is part of the project where you can really experiment and make it your own.

Here is my eWoggle with the Scroll pHAT HD attached:

...and here it is with the Scroll pHAT HD removed:

...and here it is turned over so you can see the Raspberry Pi computer attached to the back of it (rear of Scroll pHAT also shown):

There are two parts to the woggle: a case for the Pi and the woggle bit!

Raspberry Pi cases can be made from all sorts of things - I have used Lego and on another occasion coffee stirrers and masking tape! If you want to see some great examples of cases then look here:

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/will-nvidia-jetson-nano-replace-raspberry-pi/

If you are making a case, keep it simple as it will be hidden behind the woggle.

As already explained, I am a bit cack-handed so I cheated and used a pre-made case instead of making one. This is optional. The case I used is the Zebra case as it can easily be adapted. It can be found here:

https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/zebra-zero-for-raspberry-pi-zero-wood

Another easily adaptable and excellent case is the PiBow Zero which can be found here:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pibow-zero-w

The advantages of both of the cases above are that they are made up of layers. So to create your woggle you can either add a ‘woggle layer’ to the top (which I did) or replace the top layer with a ‘woggle layer’.

I looked around to find something to make my ‘woggle layer’ out of and found this:

I cut out a piece of this box and used scissors and a drill to shape it into the woggle layer. Make sure you include a hole that allows you to push the Scroll pHAT onto the pins (these are properly called GPIO pins) of the Raspberry Pi.

However, once I screwed my woggle to the top of the case, I was unhappy with the way it looked. So I tried sanding it, but this only made it look worse. I then decided I should paint it. The only spray paint I had was pink. This resulted in a truly vomit-worthy woggle! So finally, I found a roll of wood-effect sticky back plastic I had knocking about (£1 from Poundland) and achieved the just acceptable result shown above (I did tell you I was cack-handed).

I am sure that you are far more creative than me and can create something that is more bling than boring. Maybe use stickers, sequins, fluffy bits, gems, googly eyes, etc.

The next time I make an eWoggle I think I will have a go at cutting it out of real wood.

Finally, I added a power pack to run my woggle. The lead for this passes under my shirt to the pack in my trouser pocket. This power pack only costs £1 from Poundland. You may be sceptical but I have many of these pound-power-packs and they will run a Pi Zero for many, many hours. I have used them in many projects including robots and a TARDIS and find them pretty reliable.

The picture below was taken after five hours of testing the power-pack and, as you can see, it was still going strong!

3: CODING THE WOGGLE

First things first, get used to using your Raspberry Pi. If you have used Windows, Mac or Chromebook computers then it really isn’t that different (if you have used Linux then you probably don’t need this guide!) To get to grips with the Pi follow this great guide:

https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/raspberry-pi-using

You will find that the Pi Zero is very slow at intensive tasks like surfing the net. That is because this version of the Pi is designed more for building things like automated cameras or alarm systems or robot lawnmowers. If you want a Pi for playing games, surfing the net of running Office then use the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (£34.00) which is excellent for these tasks.

Remember that the microSD card you have for the Pi Zero will work in any other Pi including the Raspberry Pi 3. You can swap microSD cards between Pi.

As you can see from the photo below, the Pi has a desktop much like any other computer with the taskbar at the top (like on a Mac):

In the photo above the black cable is the HDMI cable that goes to the TV, the left-hand white cable goes to the keyboard which has a mouse plugged into it and the right-hand white cable is the micro USB power cable. The Pi in the picture is already coded - your one will not have any green LEDs lit yet.

Note: when I’m coding I obviously power my Pi from a phone charger plugged into the mains. I do not want a battery running out half way through!

The easiest way to code the Scroll pHAT HD is to use the Python programming language.

I am not a coder. I have a really basic understanding and use this to ‘cheat’ by mashing together and adapting code that has already been created by others. Anyone who is creative will tell you that this is not cheating but what all creatives do, they put together ideas, techniques and concepts that already exist but in new and original ways to create something new. I would really encourage you to do the same rather than just blindly copy my code (which isn’t really my code as I adapted it from other peoples’). By all means, start with my code and the other examples (see below) but then try to make something new by tweaking it.

A great starting point for coding the Scroll pHAT HD is to follow the beginners’ instructions on the Pimoroni website. However, I recommend doing the actual coding using Python 3 (IDLE) from the programming menu rather than typing straight into the terminal. The ‘Getting started’ guide can be found here:

https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-scroll-phat-hd

Next, you should probably look at the GitHub page for the Scroll pHAT HD which can be found here:

https://github.com/pimoroni/scroll-phat-hd

You will find a ton of help on the GitHub page, possibly too much!

The next thing to do is to download the ‘examples’ folder from the GitHub page to your Raspberry Pi / eWoggle. You will need to sign into WiFi to do this. Note also that Chromium (a version of the Google Chrome web browser runs very slowly on the Pi Zero. This is normal - see the earlier note on this)

The examples folder is full of demo programmes. I suggest that you play about with these: use Python 3 (IDLE) to open some of them and run the code to see what happens. Read the code and see if you can work out what is going on.

I built my code from two of these example programmes:

simple-scrolling.py

swirl.py

This photo is for illustration, don’t try to copy the code from it!

You will notice that in the code for many of these programs (including mine) there are many lines that begin with the hashtag ‘#’. When a computer is interpreting code written in the Python programming language it ignores anything that begins with #.

Lines beginning with a hashtag are used for two purposes. The first is to write instructions and comments to help human users understand the code. These instructions and comments will be ignored by the computer which is useful as the computer wouldn’t understand them as they are not written in the Python programming language. The second use is to ‘switch off’ a piece of code or switch it ‘on’ by removing the hashtag. For example, in many of the example programs, there is the following line of code that will turn the writing on the Scroll pHAT upside-down.

# scrollphathd.rotate(degrees=180)

This line of code has a # before it. If you want the writing to appear upside down (because in your woggle design you are using the pHAT upside down) then all you need to do is remove the # before this line of code.

Another thing to note about using Python is the indents at the beginning of some lines of code. An indent is the empty space you get at the start of a line when you press the tab but. These indents are very important in Python code as they tell the computer which lines belong together. So don’t ignore these indents!

The code that I used for the eWoggle can be found here:

https://alternativepi.tumblr.com/post/184293088491/the-code-i-used-for-the-ewoggle

You will need to adapt this. Don’t try to type it all out! Copy and paste the code from the two example programs described above.

FINALLY

Now that you have some code that works with your eWoggle and you have some text scrolling nicely across it, you will want to lose the keyboard, mouse and TV!

This is sometimes referred to as running the Pi ‘headless’.

youtube

Basically, you want to set up your Pi so that when you plug it into a powerpack it will automatically load your code and start running it as part of the startup process.

There are many ways of doing this. One is to edit something called the rc.local file and a newer way is to use something called crontab. I’m nearly fifty so I opted for the older, tried and tested method of rc.local and the link below has excellent instructions for how to do this. Note: the ampersand (&) at the end of the line of code referred to in the instructions is absolutely essential. Without it, you will get into all kinds of bother and may even have to start all over again!

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/rc-local.md

These instructions are fairly basic. You will need to go into ‘Terminal’ to use them and use the ‘nano’ text editor whilst in ‘Terminal’. If you need further instructions on this then Google is your friend :) (or DuckDuckGo)

As with everything to do with using a Raspberry Pi, if in doubt ask! There is a HUGE community of people out there who are very willing to help so long as you are prepared to put some effort in and do some learning yourself. the Pi was created originally with the intention of helping people to learn. The Pi community are out there waiting to help you to learn. They will answer your questions readily and quickly but don’t expect them to do it for you!

You can contact me on Twitter using @mvnorwood but don’t bother trying to contact me here on tumblr as I rarely use it.

You will find lots of lovely people willing to help you on the Raspberry Pi help forums that can be found here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/

You can find out more about the fantastic Raspberry Pi community here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/community/

Consider going along to a local ‘Raspberry Jam’ where you can very quickly find out what it’s all about.

Pimoroni, who are the British company who make the Scroll pHAT HD, also have an excellent online community forum which can be found here:

https://forums.pimoroni.com/

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS:

Your woggle is now a computer! It is merrily scrolling whatever text you have coded across its ‘screen’.

But why stop there?! There are literally a million other things your woggle could do with some different code or even by adding a little more hardware. Here are some ideas you might want to explore further:

Make your woggle ‘tweetable’. If it has access to WiFi it can be coded to display tweets with a particular hashtag or tweets to/from a specific Twitter user.

Add Bluetooth headphones or speaker and a couple of buttons and you can make an MP3 player woggle!

Turn your woggle into a clock that tells the current time.

Add a temperature sensor and get it to display the temperature.

Turn it into a ‘fart detector’. Whoever smelt it, dealt it? ( https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/fart-detector )
