Philip Howard

Gadgetoid
Cambridge, United Kingdom

By day I'm lucky enough to be paid to work upon open source code- creating MIT-licensed libraries for dozens of sensors as part of my role at Pimoroni. These are mostly written in Python and aimed at the Raspberry Pi platform.

In my spare time I created and maintain pinout.xyz, a one-stop source for Raspberry Pi pinout documentation both for the Pi itself and many add-on boards.

Somewhere in a precarious balance between work and spare time I contribute to the maintenance of open-source libraries including rpi_ws18x, py-spidev, luma and others.

Sponsorship helps me to dedicate more of my time to open-source hobby projects and software that doesn't directly relate to what I do at Pimoroni. It also helps me afford the hardware and furniture I need to build a home lab in which I can hide and churn out awesome things.

@Gadgetoid

Help fund the time and services to continue maintaining and improving Pinout.xyz.
