Pico Projects PRO vs Automation Showroom

Pico Projects PRO is an app for those who are learning Raspberry Pi Pico. It contains useful Raspberry Pi Pico projects in MicroPython and circuit diagrams. Also, it provides datasheet documents with details.

Follow-up questions, searching, copy-paste, waiting for approvals: everyone knows the small interruptions of a working day. Hardly anyone knows what they cost. The friction log turns them into a number you can put on the table. HOW IT WORKS 1. Capture: when something gets in the way, tap one of eight categories and pick the minutes lost. Add a note if you like. It takes a few seconds – right when it happens, not from memory at the end of the day. 2. Project: after seven observed days and five entries the app projects to a full month – in hours and in euros, at your own hourly rate and on 21 working days. Before that it only shows what was actually measured. 3. Pass it on: share the report as an image or text, for example in Teams or Slack. As the basis for the conversation with whoever decides. WHAT YOU SEE • Time measured over the last seven days • Monthly projection in hours and euros • The biggest time sinks by category • A cost curve: what it costs if nothing changes for twelve months TEST HYPOTHESES WITH THE SPARRING If you want to know where it comes from: the sparring asks in seven short steps about the trigger, handovers, standstill, waste, possible effect and available data. A rule-based engine compares your answers with 23 curated hypothesis patterns. No LLM. You get up to three hypotheses with a confidence rating, a range for the possible yearly effect and three data points you can measure within five working days. Sometimes the honest answer is: this isn't worth it. ALSO • Cookbook: 12 reference architectures showing how typical workflows can be automated – demos, not client projects • Learn: two courses with seven short lessons, including "Measure instead of guessing" and "From minutes to euros" • Reminders you switch on yourself – scheduled locally on the device • Export the sparring as a printable discussion brief • Light and dark appearance, German and English, iPhone and iPad WHAT THE APP WON'T DO • No sign-up, no account • No tracking, no ad IDs, no analytics • All entries stay on your device. They only leave it when you share them yourself. • No prices and no sales inside the app FOR THE WHOLE TEAM If you want to measure not just your own interruptions but your whole team's: you can request a conversation on automationshowroom.com. A free self-check is available there as well. PUBLISHER balane GmbH, Jonas Höttler. Support: support@balane.tech
