Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures
#Microchip
Microchip PIC32CM PL10 Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers are pin-to-pin compatible with AVR MCUs, support 5V operation
My view on the "Central Pet Microchip Portal" - https://alexhunter.net/blog/central-pet-microchip-portal/
An updated ClusterHAT v2.6 will be available shortly.
The Cluster HAT is a simple way to connect up to 4 Raspberry Pi Zero to a host Raspberry Pi using USB Gadget network and serial with I2C power control via GPIO.
The main changes are:
* The USB HUB updated to the CH334F which has a Multiple Transaction Translator (MTT).
* The (now obsolete) XRA1200P I/O expander is replaced by an ATtiny1616 which ships with firmware emulating the XRA1200P. It also has a built-in UPDI programmer for the ATtiny1616 allowing simple updates or switching to custom/more advanced firmware.

I've got some older beginner development boards for #Microchip PIC too – should I create beginner lesson activities for these, too?
Side note... Since I already have BEAPER Pico for Raspberry Pi Pico, and BEAPER Nano for Arduino Nano ESP32, should I create BEAPER Micro for Microchip? 🤣

Found another area where the #Microchip #Attiny #AVR uCs have an edge over most of their #ARM counterparts: in rough conditions where you get lots of ripple on yout VDD.
While the ARMs have an internal voltage reference (most times 1.2V), they cannot use this vref as reference for their ADC. The ADC always uses VDDA, which is almost always internally tied to VDD.
In comparison the ATtiny402 can select VDD, 4.3V, 2.5V, 1.5V, 1.1V and 0.55V as vref.
Ofc the DMA mode on the ARMs is really nice

Crackdown on Carmarthenshire puppy farms sparks call for national dog breeding law overhaul
County at the centre of Wales’ dog breeding trade
Carmarthenshire has long been regarded as a hot spot for large‑scale dog breeding – and in recent years the county has seen some of the most serious cases brought before the courts.
- Earlier this year, an unlicensed breeder was ordered to pay back £100,000 in three months or face jail after selling puppies illegally.
- Another case saw more than 200 dogs rescued from appalling conditions at an unlicensed premises.
- In one of the most disturbing prosecutions, a breeder was jailed for mutilating puppies’ ears to increase their sale value.
- Other convictions have included confiscations of tens of thousands of pounds in illegal profits, and even a Kennel Club show judge prosecuted for unlicensed breeding.
These cases, many led by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Animal Welfare Team, have highlighted both the scale of the trade and the challenges of enforcing existing laws.
Council review pushes for reform
In response, the council commissioned a Task and Finish Group to review how dog breeding is licensed locally. Its recommendations, now endorsed by Cabinet, include:
- A full review of licensing fees to ensure enforcement costs are covered.
- Stronger engagement with local vets and the public to raise awareness of licensing rules.
- Exploring a compulsory scoring system for breeders to improve consistency.
- Boosting resources for the Animal Health Team.
At a national level, councillors want Welsh Government to revisit the legislation, consider a centralised microchip database, and introduce tougher enforcement tools such as Fixed Penalty Notices.
Cllr Kevin Madge, who chaired the review, said the work was shaped by site visits and public consultation: “This assistance was valuable in helping us to shape the recommendations laid out within the report, which we hope will now be carried forward to improve the dog breeding licensing function within Carmarthenshire.”
RSPCA backs nationwide review
RSPCA Cymru has welcomed the council’s stance, warning that Wales’ 2015 dog breeding laws are now outdated.
Billie‑Jade Thomas, Senior Public Affairs Manager for Wales, said:
“Carmarthenshire has long been a hot spot for dog breeding – so it’s really welcome the council is looking at how to ensure consistent standards are enforced to protect welfare.
“But some of the national recommendations are really important too – and we hope the next Welsh Government will take these on board, and commit to a nationwide review of dog breeding regulations.”
The charity says the scale of breeding in Wales demands regular review, and is urging the public to consider adopting rescue dogs through its Adoptober campaign.
What it means for dog owners
For residents, the changes could mean clearer information when buying a puppy, greater confidence that breeders are being properly monitored, and stronger action against those who flout the law.
But with Carmarthenshire’s recent prosecutions showing the profits at stake in the illegal trade, campaigners say only a national overhaul will prevent more animals suffering.

Adoptober shines a light on rescue dogs
The RSPCA says that while it is vital for anyone buying a puppy to choose a reputable, licensed breeder, the best way to support animal welfare is by adopting a rescue.
Billie‑Jade Thomas, Senior Public Affairs Manager for Wales, added:
“While we want those considering getting a puppy to choose reputable breeders, and know how to identify those, the best way people looking to add a pet to the family can help animal welfare is by choosing rescue.
This Adoptober, we’re shining a light on the countless rescue dogs in the RSPCA’s care – including across Wales – and hope people keen to add a dog to their family check out our Find a Pet website, and consider adopting an animal.”
