In my struggle to get the M5 Stack Core2 working with all of its peripherals I've been writing a ton of code.
I got the screen working, the power management module working, the real-time clock working, the gyro working and the touch panel working.
*cracks knuckles*
And I'm really close to getting the speaker and microphone working, after teaching myself I2S and the ESP32's hardware I2S driver. That's what I'm happy about right now.
It was actually pretty easy to set up once I figured out what parameters to give it. I made my Core2 sound like a little siren.
Pretty soon I'll have it playing MP3s.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Bravo!
Maybe you can duplicate my favorite app from the DOS days. It was a little pop up that read, "Water detected in drive. Beginning spin cycle." That was followed by a whirring noise from the onboard speaker that sounded just like a washing machine spin cycle. When it spun down, the message continued, "Spin dry complete," and closed the pop up. It was fun to install on a victim's machine and tie it to a less commonly used key as a hotkey. I found a copy a few years ago, but there's no way it will run on a modern machine. I miss clever programming like that. Much more fun than anything practical...

Linkage : APOD: 2022 July 18 - Stephans Quintet from Webb, Hubble, and Subaru[^].
That's the APOD from Monday, the 18th. What I found most interesting about it is the text where it describes how the Hubble and Webb telescopes are sensitive to different bandwidths of light. The effect is really cool when images from them are combined.
PS - today's image is pretty cool too. Be sure to check it out.

Looks like the Hubble imaged Stephan's Quintet around "July/August, 2009". And Subaru took it's image around the same time on "2009-05-25". So there is around 12 years between those and the Webb image.
I wonder how that affects the composite image.

Given the distances involved - I doubt that you could notice any difference.
Given a star moving transverse to the line of sight at the speed of light, its angular movement would be 12/290,000,000 radians, or 0.009 seconds of arc. As stars typically move at a dmall fraction of the speed of light, the difference would be immeasurable.

Yeah, but I'm wondering about brightness difference[^], not motion across the sky. There's alot of dust in there, I wonder how it affects the composite image.

Given that the "window" for each telescope partly overlaps that of another, I would assume that they adjusted the brightnesses of the overlapping parts so that they matched.
While individual stars' brightness can vary, I doubt that entire galaxies (or significant parts thereof) would vary much in such a short time. You would have to either explain a massive violation of Special Relativity, or propose a mechanism whereby large numbers of stars would independently change their brightness over such a short time.

Stephan's Quintet contains five galaxies. I'm referring to galaxy brightness[^] fluctuations over the last 12 years. I couldn't find any information about how that would be calculated so I gave up. I did find a reference stating that another telescope could only measure galaxy brightness over "one light week" resolution but it was old and seemed to be about another older telescope.
