Horn sound effect now added to the @pimoroni.com Tiny FX and headlight brightness adjusted. Not too daunting a bit of code for a relative novice like myself - mostly just rewritten from one of the supplied examples.

Purple background= on time, yellow= delayed, red= less than 10 mins away (time for a jog!). Using the national rail API for realtime updates

Super-quick delivery of my Tiny FX stuff from @pimoroni.com. As I don’t really need the wireless functionality of the current controller in my Land Rover, I’ll be switching out for this one. As it is a bit thinner it’ll also save a little more space.

@pimoroni.com birthday seems like a good opportunity to bring out the original pibow (with rev1 pi inside)

Two pirate minifigures standing either side of a Raspberry Pi model B in a rainbow pibow case.

There's a rainbow benchy in the background, along with a Pico LiPo 2 XL W and the bottom of some BadgeWare just about visible.

Top view of the pi to make its oldness more visible. (There are no mounting holes and the USB fuses are present)
