Welcome to 4th day of 31 days of Raspberry PI 400.
Today I tried a 3D slicer, installing Visual Studio Code and Arduino. Also, a new Bluetooth dongle that solved a lot of problems.
Today I brought a new Bluetooth dongle - BTS 4.0 - and my normal headphones worked right on the first time I tried to pair them.

My old Bluetooth USB dongle is old, very old. This one is more recent and clearly that was the problem. My headphones are new.
I know that the Raspberry PI 400 Bluetooth is version 5, but I can't make it work. This is taking away one USB port, but I'll manage.
Software
3D Printing
Today was the time I tried software to 3D print. I knew that the options weren't much, but they could possibly exist. Well, I've installed slic3r and it works. Let's slice a Marvin and see how it goes.
and here's the result (0.2, 20% infill and 60mm/s) PETG translucent RED (and I set settings in Slic3r for PLA - I though that was what I had in the printer )
Microsoft Visual Studio Code
I installed Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (I think is a great IDE) with apt and it just works great. Installed support for Python and installed PlatformIO to compile Marlin for my 3D printer and probably try compile for Arduino or ESP32 - never tried before. When that time comes, you'll know. And it's fast too.
Arduino IDE
Despite having installed PlatformIO (which I never used to compile arduino sketches), I've always used Arduino IDE for all things Arduino and compatibles. It seems to be working, later this week will try some sketches.
And there it is for today.
