i think that has the right emphasis
#circuitpython-dev
idle owl
is the reason I considered but did not choose it as the first.
Yeah I thought that too
Ok
Pin Names it is. Thank you.
blissful pollen
Pin Names sounds good to me, when I was learning more I am almost certain I googled that term before when I was trying to find out is A2 = D2 or something (not knowing it didn't really matter)
idle owl
Thank you for the feedback! Working for someone like you is what really matters with this.
@atomic summit Are you perhaps around?
@tulip sleet I want to include a sentence explaining why the pin names changed. Can it be summed up in a sentence or is that a whole thing in itself?
tulip sleet
the long answer is that we don't want to support our own Board Support Package on Arduino, and theirs uses the GPIO names which can't be changed. The short answer is probably that the names match the Arduino names.
idle owl
I mean a few sentences would also be fine. But I don't want to head down a rabbit path.
alright
I'll go with the short answer there then.
The four people who ask for the long answer, we can just tell them.
And the use of IO instead of D? To fit with standard ESP pin naming? or?
tulip sleet
or to say, the names match the Arduino NUMBERs. We are not using names starting with D because they would be in different possitions from the standard Metro/Arudino shaped boards, and that would be really confusing. Or you could just say that the "IO" prefix matches the ESP32-S2 standard (removing "GP" to save space)
idle owl
Or because it's a different map than previous metros so we wanted it to be clear so we changed the API.
ok
Got it.
I think I can work with that.
Might still have you preview it when I'm done.
tulip sleet
calling it the "API" is a stretch, I wouldn't use that name. It's "like" an API.

@slender iron Does the J-Link work with the ESP32-S2?
slender iron
the debug plug is a JTAG port (not SWD)
idle owl
oh
slender iron
it doesn't work with JLink software but you can use OpenOCD with JLink hardware to connect
idle owl
Alright
slender iron
the debug plug is the same physically but the pins are for JTAG instead of SWD. SWD is an ARM CPU specific thing
idle owl
Wait, the connectors are called SWD though. The ones that solder into that space.
oh
I see
slender iron
the connector itself is just 2x5 1.27mm pitch
slender iron
ya, same connector
on the left you can see the "SWD pinout" but the / show the alternative use for JTAG

@slender iron I could rename the busdevice library, but is there a way to handle the fact I2CDevice is now not in a separate file (adafruit_busdevice.i2c_device.I2CDevice where i2c_device.py existed)?
If its possible I can look into how to do it just don't want to chase the impossible by accident
slender iron
@blissful pollen ah! take a look at microcontroller.pin. it is possible internally
tulip sleet
@solar whale I am confused about what canonical examples I should be using on ESP32-S2 to test requests. Are you using ones that you cooked up, or are there some examples floating around? Thanks.
@slender iron same q could be addressed to you, if you have some examples. The ones in examples in the requests library are not suitable, it appears, even the "cpython" ones, because they use socket.
slender iron
you can convert any esp32spi examples to the s2 pretty easily
tulip sleet
but they are mostly using the legacy API, right?
solar whale
this ahs been my usual test ```mport ipaddress

print(response.status_code)
print("circuitpython open issues", response.json()["open_issues_count"])
print("circuitpython stars", response.json()["stargazers_count"])
print("done")
ya, but the new requests api isn't that different, it's just on an object
pool = socketpool.SocketPool(wifi.radio)
requests = adafruit_requests.Session(pool, ssl.create_default_context())
that's the critical bit

Watched the deep dive last night, great overview of the NTP stuff @slender iron. When we were talking about it in the github issue, I didn't realize you were thinking about NTP being added to core vs updating the adafruit_ntp library which I had in my original description. I should have asked about that earlier. Is your UDP branch suitable for trying out with the new NTP changes, or do you have more work to go there?

I make them by hand in Affinity Designer, which is a vector app for Mac and Windows.

Wow. Ok. Well done, you, then ๐
I feel less bad that I've been doing this one by hand then.

I wish there was an app for it, or an easier way, but there isn't ๐ฆ

I thought you might have some kind of automation or program that did it for you.
atomic summit
Nope ๐ฆ
idle owl
I don't know how to do vector stuff, so I'm in photoshop. ๐
It actually doesn't look half bad, but yours is way better.
atomic summit
Ok. Issue with doing it as a bitmap is it wont scale/resize properly. Like if you want to go from screen DPI to print etc.
idle owl
Yeah I know. I realise that.
This isn't meant to be a full diagram, it's meant to show the CircuitPython pin names.
atomic summit
Though Photoshop does have some basic vector tools, so try to use those for shape primitives if you can. That will help.
idle owl
I started with the SVG from the Fritzing I made for it and then went from there.
So that was the size I began with. Because I also don't know how to export an SVG other than whatever size Illustrator decided it was.
This is super basic. Rectangles and text.

Advertising side looks like this
self._ble.name = 'test'
self._uart = UARTService()
advertisement = ProvideServicesAdvertisement(self._uart)
self._ble.start_advertising(advertisement)
Devices do connect, but I don't see a name in the __dict__ and it returns None as you would expect.

The board image was an SVG, I exported it as a PNG so I could use it in Photoshop.
So this all started in Illustrator. It did not continue there. ๐
idle owl
It's the SVG used for the Fritzing object.
For what it's worth, this will work for our current needs. I wouldn't want to do a full pinouts diagram like this though. This was simply to show the CircuitPython pin naming scheme we chose.
analog bridge
@analog bridge I am completely lost when it comes to Illustrator. I can edit things fairly well, but creating new things is a massive struggle for me.
@idle owl I feel it.
I think I made mine too huge... would be reducing dpi used for png export.

This is also massive now that I figured out scaling the original SVG. Will need to bring it down for export as well.
Otherwise I imagine the Learn system might choke on it. ๐

Got lucky enough to grab a couple QT-Py's. One needed a code reload - the neopixel was cycling, and I could get the BOOT directory, but the CIRCUITPY directory would not come up, nor would it connect with Mu (even though logs say Mu saw it). So I went to download the latest .uf2 and 6.0.0 Beta was the only one listed on the QT-Py page. That went fine, but I lost the demo code that comes with it. Anyone know if that demo code is available somewhere?

@topaz schooner it's a bug that only beta is on the download page. I'll check on that, sorry.

@faint delta are you selling a development board, or a purpose-built thing (like a thermostat or something)? It's open-source software, liberally licensed, so you can do what you want with it. We have some requests about how you'd use the nam CircuitPython if you were make that name visible.
lapis hemlock
@lapis hemlock I think we'd like the CI steps to be the most like building ulab inside circuitpython as possible
@onyx hinge That's OK, but we still have to set theNUMPY_COMPATIBILITYflag. If you'd like, we can have a separateulab.hheader file forcircuitpython. That is a clean solution.
By the way, sorry for hijacking the "In the weeds" section yesterday. I didn't realise how long it went.
onyx hinge
@lapis hemlock why not do it the way we do for many other things, #if !defined(SYMBOL) #define SYMBOL (DEFAULT_VALUE) #endif so that we can add our preferences as -DSYMBOL=OUR_VALUE in CFLAGS?

@tulip sleet it's for the next version of a product that's already out on the market. my dad is asking me to build it. his previous version didn't have a microcontroller. he's adding one and asking me to write the code, so i am trying to make sure it's alright. couldn't find a FAQ or anything about this, but i get this feeling like it can't be this easy ?
tulip sleet
well, if you expose CIRCUITPY, then someone could mess with the code you're writing, etc. Depends on the product, but it might be too easy to break. Or, if it's user-servicible, then maybe making it easily accessible is good.
idle owl
@tulip sleet @slender iron I finished the CircuitPython Pin names diagram so the documentation Limor expected to accompany our decision is thorough and completed ๐

@onyx hinge we could do this. But won't it get long? I mean, if you want to define all your symbols on the command line, then it might become a nightmare...
onyx hinge
apparently our CFLAGS are about 3.5kB, for some atmel-samd board
faint delta
that's what im thinking, @tulip sleet , the latter (user serviceable). i want the users to have as much freedom as possible, which circuitpython gives me, even over Arduino IDE approach (which suffers the same "gut feeling" i mentioned). I think as long as I can deliver working solution without risking security, and the customer (my dad in this case) is ok with the ability for competitors to look at the code, then there is no problem. would this be correct?
tulip sleet
Yes, it's fine. You could use a custom build of CircuitPython that doesn't expose CIRCUITPY (and doesn't act as an HID keyboard, etc.), but leave the bootloader there, with a reset button. If your code needs to be updated, someone could load a regular version of CircuitPython via UF2, expose CIRCUITPY, put in the new code, and then put back the non-CIRCUITPY version
lapis hemlock
@onyx hinge I really don't want to convince you, but we could just include a separate header, if CIRCUITPY is defined. Either way is fine with me.
tulip sleet
or if it's not meant to plug into USB most of the time, then it doesn't matter
faint delta
@tulip sleet i love that idea. yes it's not meant to even be plugged into USB, but curious users can tap into a usb port inside (not sure 100% on new hardware, but you get the idea) with simple instructions and play around. i appreciate the answer!
bronze shadow
If you only need to prevent modification to the code, and not hide the code, you could also use boot.py to mount it as read only (so the device itself can write to disk) but the host OS couldn't.
onyx hinge
@lapis hemlock a #if CIRCUITPY section is fine for us too
if we ever decide we DO want to vary some things on a per-board basis, though, we'd need to be able to do it via CFLAGS. We can deal with that when the need arises.

@tulip sleet have you built nina recently?
when I run make firmware it's prompting me to set a bunch of configuration
tulip sleet
@slender iron I built it to build the 1.7.1 release. I had various issues like that when the env was not set up perfectly, I think.
slender iron
the two IDF variables seem right
tulip sleet
i have a python2 virtualenv set up, and before I do a build, I source this script for myself:
export IDF_PATH=$HOME/bin/esp/esp-idf
export PATH=$HOME/bin/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:$PATH
source ~/bin/py2/bin/activate
PS1="(esp) $PS1"
ah, my python was 3.8
tulip sleet
the esp-idf is 3.3.1. Both this and the ESP32-S2 build put stuff in ~/.espressif
not sure if they conflict
~/bin/py2 is my virtualenv for python2
sounds like you may have it. This was a big headache to get right
tulip sleet
I set up the virtualenv, then I ran the install script in esp-idf to pip stuff into that py2 virtualenv
slender iron
@tulip sleet ok, trying it again with a python2 venv but still getting the config thing
tulip sleet
i start with make clean, let me try that. Might have to do make menuconfig, for no good reason.

@slender iron If I rename the busdevice to match the existing library should I change all the filenames, etc. to be "adafruit_bus_device" too?
(I think I have to but still not 100% sure how all this QSTR stuff works yet!)
tulip sleet
@slender iron it worked for me after I sourced my script above and did a make clean

hello here. I'm studying the best way to animate shapes. say a mix between display_shapes and led_animation. So I read the source code and I see a way, but I need advice on the viability of the solution. If I make a subclass of Rect with all the _pixbuffer methods (and internal maths to translate that to the palette and bitmap of the shape), and then pass it to any led_animation object, will it work ? is there any other more obvious way to do something like that ?

@slender iron is there an issue with having peripherals files have the same name as a HAL source file? when including the .h it requires using the peripherals/src.h name. But on other ports, HAL files tend to have a prefix (hdl_adc.h, nrfx_adc.c, stm32fxxxxxx_adc.c), so this is a new case
I named the peripherals/rmt file rmt.c and it didn't impact compilation. Is there a best practice here?

That's on a Feather M4 Express.

I was going to ask you to build a new nina for me but I think I have a workaround
the ssl connections don't close automatically on failed write
write has no similar check
so the new requests leaks memory
tulip sleet
is that a bug? or are you allowed to retry? does a non-ssl connection do anything similar?
tulip sleet
interesting comment here: https://github.com/arduino/nina-fw/issues/30#issuecomment-665712900 (not ssl)
given the low number of issues in the repo, maybe people are just doing very simple things, and are not recovering on error
slender iron
ya, that's my guess too
tulip sleet
you are not using WifiSSLCLient.cpp, is that right? So this is a behavior difference between SSL and non-SSL in the firmware? Should we be filing a bug on esp-idf??
slender iron
I'm debugging ESP32SPI so I am using it

ah ok, I thought this was the ESP32S2 requests library issue. So does our Python library need to do the same thing?

it is possible our native code has the same issue
but I can only debug so much at once ๐

Since the libraries and tools don't show up here, thought I'd mention that the combo of PRs for Circup #40 & #41 look good to go.
I wanted to ask about something else circup related.
I was playing around on my brand new MetroS2 and which did not have a /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/lib folder. Without that folder, circup install fails... we could fix that in circup, but I wonder if CP builds should create an empty lib folder since the general guidance is to put libraries in that place.

sdcard = sdcardio.SDCard(board.SPI(), board.SD_CS)

is the error when you call board.SPI() ?
maybe separate it out to 2 lines for clarity

@simple pulsar do you mean creating "fake" ones that look like file browsers but are actually HTML / CSS rendered pages?
Or something more like seeing the real list of files but inside of a web browser or and then screenshot it?
I'm thinking must be the former the more I think about it. That is a nifty idea. It could parse a JSON list and generate the folder / file icon automatically based on whether that item has .mpy at the end.
Is there any functional difference (or preference within our code style) between importing things with uppercase letters on the module?
from adafruit_lsm6ds.LSM6DSOX import LSM6DSOX
vs.
from adafruit_lsm6ds.lsm6dsox import LSM6DSOX
I would have expected only the latter to work since the name of the file is lsm6dsox.py but it seems that both do work correctly.

@lone axle FAT filesystem is case insensitive, but you should try to use the way the filename appears on GitHub or on a host computer

Everything is working ... I'm quite proud XD
you draw a rect and use it like a neopixel strip.
I plan to make the whole kit of shapes, with lines also.
and I hope it can be integrated to the matrixportal object, like the scrolling text label to animate everything smoothly
lone axle
This looks awesome! thank you for sharing it. I am going to play around with it here in a little bit.
cursive condor
there is a lot of work left to do, but the PoC is here ๐
thorny jay
there is a lot of work left to do, but the PoC is here ๐
@cursive condor I still need to study your code to understand that, but this seems great. I am interested in using palette to do something similar. Basically you draw an image, but you use each palette index as a neopixel and change it's color.
I am using that to make a number of big square each with individual addressable color: https://github.com/dglaude/CircuitPython_ContactScanner/blob/main/not_as_scanner_clue_wip.py
cursive condor
yes I use the palette, because my shape is an indexed BMP, after all. my goal was to be able to animate the ball or the goal of my maze game for matrixportal, so the object used must be a tilegrid I can add to a displayio group
long story short, here you have animated shapes (anisha), any help is welcome ๐
and I must say a lot of the code is copied from various libs from adafruit. I just made the links between 2 of them
lone axle
@cursive condor do you know what could be causing the "No more color available" error?
I get that from comet, rainbow_sparkle, and chase. Not with blink though that one is working.
cursive condor
you can set the colors argument when you initialize the Arect object
with 128 colors it's ok for all the animations of the full example
lone axle
I am trying to run it through my PyGameDisplay for Blinka_Displayio (admittedly outside the scope of what you've built it to run on ๐) I am getting that error even with color=128
there must be something different about how Blinka_Displayio is handling the colors or something
cursive condor
try 256
cursive condor
of course
lone axle
I notice the all of the prints except index 0 and 1 are the same. They are all:
106 : {'transparent': False, 'rgb888': 0, 'rgba': (0, 0, 0, 255)}
0 and 1 are like this:
0 : {'transparent': True, 'rgb888': 0, 'rgba': (0, 0, 0, 0)}
1 : {'transparent': False, 'rgb888': 16384, 'rgba': (0, 64, 0, 255)}
strange ... so the problem is that self._palette_index() does not find the color when it search the palette
but it can find it when it's not initialised (return 0 == 0x000000 == BLACK)
lone axle
Could be a difference in python possibly as well. I am running with CPython 3.8.5 I'll poke around the _palette_index() and see if I can figure out why it's not finding the colors.
cursive condor
if the palette object behave differently, perhaps is there a method to get the index from color directly ?
lone axle
Is this how the its supposed to look?
cursive condor
not exactly ๐ฆ
lone axle
I'm thinking something in my matrix configuration may have gotten out of whack or something.
it should be full unbroken rectangle right?
cursive condor
how a Rect (without the A) is showing with the same dimensions ?
yes it should be a square, 30x30 stroke=2
lone axle
Alright now it's okay
my matrix portal had gotten slightly unplugged. The 2x8 was not as snug as it should be.
This is really cool!
cursive condor
yeah, but I dont like the corners when stroke > 1
I'm sure I can do better (reminds me of the turtle lib, on several sides)
lone axle
some of these would make really great "frames" to use around the edge of the display with other information inside.
lone axle
oooh nice
cursive condor
I see also "loading bars" or "waiting animations"
lone axle
Thank you for creating this and sharing it ๐
cursive condor
among an infinity of possibilities
๐
did you see you can use the whole rect as a "line" of pixels, (with animation_mode args to horizontal or vertical) instead of being circular ?
not tested yet, but I don't see why this would not work

This may be a good 'in the weeds' topic. A lot of new folks who are new to displayio are getting some of their earliest experiences with a Matrix Portal now instead of PyPortal, PyGamer etc.. devices with more traditional screens.
Many of the existing examples for displayio in guides and library repos use board.DISPLAY which won't work on the Matrix Portal.
Are there any thoughts on whether we want to include extra examples tweaked to work with Matrix Portal, or keep them in the same file with comment/uncomment chunks? Or is there some other generalized technical approach that could allow examples to work on both without the end user having to worry about it if they don't want to?
tidal kiln
the guide talks about built-in vs. external displays, but that's separate from the examples
maybe look at updating the guide to better explain that? add boiler plate for RGB matrix?
using the Matrix Portal library, it's pretty easy
from adafruit_matrixportal.matrix import Matrix
matrix = Matrix( stuff )
display = matrix.display

btw, Monsoon meter is discontinued

Flemish. I am Belgian, I might be able to partially understand that!
tulip sleet
Google Translate is my friend :). I have been translating select pieces
The most interesting thing about it at the moment is the list above, which is more comprehensive than anything else I've seen
the Nordic device is quite nice for the price, but unfortunately the first three devices only go to < 100ma, and the ESP32S2 can draw much more than that, especially when transmitting wifi
cursive condor
So I have my shape animated. now I'm testing the group animations, turn out I can manage 4 shapes, with around 10 animations for each. more animations give a memory error. And the rainbow* ones requires the most memory...
but they are not sync, as I only supported "direct write" to the shapes, and I wonder how I can mimic the write() behaviour...
double buffering seems wasting a lot of memory...
tidal kiln
@lone axle are the examples being used the ones shown in the displayio guide? or from somewhere else?
lone axle
@tidal kiln in this case it was an issue filed referencing an example in the display_text library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text/issues/95
there are similar examples in display_shapes, adafruit_imageload, adafruit_progressbar and perhaps some others.
cursive condor
mmmmm progressbar ? I missed that
tidal kiln
i think it would be good to update the displayio guide
for the examples, it's tricky. a trade off of keeping the example clean vs. a bunch of commented out stubs for all possible scenarios
similar issue with sensors that can be I2C / SPI and hardware/software versions of each
probably should at least add code comments to those examples though
# example for use with board with built in display
or some such
lone axle
Yeah, I think I like seperate files for them instead of the comment chunks.

I have a week off next week, in second wave confinement... and I was checking if I could revive my work on PM25.
@thorny jay Thank you to @lone axle that found one more learn guide that depend on PM25.
lone axle
I can work on adding comments to the existing ones and making matrix portal versions of the ones that make sense on that size screen.
tidal kiln
ok. i'll take a look at updating the displayio guide.
could maybe have a new dedicated page that discusses display setup for various hardware configs
lone axle
I wonder if it's worth making up a single page that covers generally "how to convert code from built-in display to matrix portal"
tidal kiln
it could be more general
like how to create the display instance
then the rest of the code should (hopefully) just work
lone axle
Yeah, I think it will help out if we can try to consistently use a display variable in examples. It can be set to board.DISPLAY for devices with built-in.
tidal kiln
yah, that could help also
lone axle
isntead of referencing board.DISPLAY directly throughout the example. I am definitely guilty of this. But with a variable it will make it much easier to swap back and forth.
tidal kiln
yep. and easier to understand.
display =
the right hand side needs to be whatever for your setup (guide would cover that)
gilded cradle
@slender iron let me know when you're back online and we can work on testing/debugging requests and esp32spi.
tidal kiln
but then can just use display in same general way in rest of code
# use built in display
# see guide (url maybe?) for setting up external displays
display = board.DISPLAY
yep. Nice! I like the idea of linking it there in the examples.
tidal kiln
or even more informative?
# use built in display (PyPortal, PyGamer, PyBadge, CLUE, etc.)
# see guide for setting up external displays (TFT / OLED breakouts, RGB matrices, etc.)
want to bring this up at the next in-the-weeds? suggest above. see if there is general consensus, etc.
lone axle
@tidal kiln yep will do. I'll add it to the notes doc in a moment.
slender iron
@gilded cradle I'm at my desk now
gilded cradle
Cool, me too @slender iron ๐
slender iron
@gilded cradle do we want esp32spi to work on its own?
the OSError 23 will cause a retry with the newest requests
gilded cradle
Do you know if there are any instances where it doesn't use requests?
gilded cradle
Yeah, possibly. It would be nice if the esp32spi still worked with requests 1.6.0 until we have a solid fix in place.
I haven't tested it out, so it may work at the moment.
slender iron
it may be the change of RuntimeError("No sockets available") to OSError(23)
if the calling code only tests for RuntimeError
gilded cradle
Yeah, that was my concern with backwards compatibility.
gilded cradle
Like can we have newer versions of requests set a flag that causes it to return an OSError and just return a RuntimeError otherwise? Then when we have a solid fix in place, we can remove the flag.
slender iron
ya, I suppose we could
gilded cradle
I see a new pr you just submitted. I'll give that a try.

those are the requests changes

I want to see how well these work together. If they seem to be reliable then we probably don't need to worry about the flag option.
Ok, it's getting hung up on a content length missing error (for images). I'm thinking something was fixed and the error is in the pyportal library. Let me see if I can figure out a workaround, but this is looking promising.
@slender iron are the headers getting cleared between calls?
Cause it's returning a json header for the image url.

it should be separate response objects

Sorry to hear that you now have the same issue, @jerryneedell, but I think I figured out what is going wrong.
I got lured into believing it is a socket issue, but it is not.
It simply has to do with what the ESP32S2 or CircuitPython believes is a valid TLS certificate. I used my server, that I can reach internally via a different FQDN than external and t...

Is it possible to add print statements in C code in the core and see them get printed out in the serial console?
stuck elbow
yeah, see mp_printf()
lone axle
Thank you
How do I get the value of variables to print? I have code like this:
mp_printf(&mp_plat_print, "setting hidden %s - %s\n", i, hidden);
but print statements turn out like this:
setting hidden ร ร - ร ร
setting hidden ร - ร ร
ah, I see %d fixes the i one I probably need something for booleans on the last one.
stuck elbow
iirc booleans are ints
lone axle
Ah nice, yeah that prints the boolean values for me. Thank you.
I noticed it's much faster to make a build if I don't delete the old build-pyportal (or whatever device) folder. And it does seem that the new UF2s are containing my changes. Is there any reason that I should be deleting that and starting fresh each time? or is it okay to leave it around to cut the build time down
cursive condor
as a long time gentoo user, so compiling a lot, keeping the old build / cache data indeed speeds up the next compilation, and I only know some versions of PHP that were a pain in the *** with make clean mandatory if you change something in the config. so I would say : keep it unless unexpected results occur.

@idle owl, @slender iron, or @onyx hinge I just realized that I accidentally created and pushed to a branch in the adafruit/circuitpython repo insteado f my own. Very sorry. To the best of my knowledge I did not touch anything in any important branches.

Hope this is a correct place to ask: does Sparkfun's Artemis board have CircuitPython support yet, I seem can't find it over circuitpython.org? If not yet, are there plans or anyone working on it? Thank you.
bronze shadow
If you can't find a download, it likely isn't. I don't believe that any ARM M4F boards can run Circuitpython, though porting is of coruse possible.
onyx hinge
@hoary hill The Artemis does not have USB host support, so CircuitPython will not be available for it. (I'm bummed too)
@lone axle do you need one of us to delete that branch for you?
lone axle
I think I can delete it but didn't want to touch anything else until I was sure that is what should be done
Yep, got it deleted with no issue.

Sorry forgive me I haven't been following the UF2 stuff (been tied up in board design), will that bootloader enable CP and Arduino (or C - RTOS) to be booted into from the same Flash on ESP32-S2 ports?

@bronze shadow The SAMD51 and nRF52840 and other chips we support are ARM M4F.

If you see JTAG errors (โฆall ones/โฆall zeroes) please check your connections, whether no other signals are connected to JTAG besides ESP32-S2โs pins, and see if everything is powered on.
This is exactly what's I'm seeing. I've got a Kaluga and the only pins connected are 19/20 for native USB. Both built in USB ports are connected (power and usb) and the device works normally (circuitpython on native USB) Any advice?

sacred moth
Hello all, wondering if you could help a NOOB here get started. I don't seem able to get past square 1! I have a Circuit Playground Bluefruit attached now to a TFT Gizmo from Adafruit. Copying in their code from a tutorial and loading, I get absolutely nothing. CIRCUITPY mounts into when connected, but using "Mu" for the code and even when I click on "Serial" to access the REPL, it says cannot find an attached device.
tidal kiln
@sacred moth can try and help, but let's move to #help-with-circuitpython channel
idle owl
@simple pulsar There has been no discussion to that end. I personally have no idea how to do it. I haven't done anything with javascript. It wouldn't even need to have both Windows and Mac, it simply needs to look like a file explorer - we don't put both in when we create them, we put in the OS of whomever generated the screenshot. If this is something you could put together as a proof of concept, I'd be willing to look into it. It would have to be simple enough for folks who aren't programmers first to be able to do it. Many of our more crafty folks put together guides with those images in them. So if it involves a crazy environment setup or something, it's kind of out.

@thorny jay Data matrices are extremely difficult to maintain. There are entirely too many products for us to have a reasonable matrix. We discussed it. We don't have software to do it automatically yet, so it's not something we're going to do.

gilded cradle
@inland tusk You mean for Requests/ESP32SPI?

tidal kiln
# use built in display (PyPortal, PyGamer, PyBadge, CLUE, etc.)
# see guide for setting up external displays (TFT / OLED breakouts, RGB matrices, etc.)
display = board.DISPLAY
There were a variety of issues. The latest one we were working on was Failed to send 3 bytes (sent 0)
The PyPortal HTTP error handling was more like 404
inland tusk
Okay Low level
gilded cradle
yeah
inland tusk
understood
gilded cradle
It had to do with the connection being closed and the ESP32SPI not handling it correctly.
thorny jay
Right now, a lot of example are with alternate wiring commented out, like all the AirLift example.
tidal kiln
@lone axle i'll take care of guide update (displayio guide) if you want to deal with libraries?

is31fl3731 is also like that with a lot of comment.

MatrixPortal is the new board that requires 6.0.0. MagTag is kind of early, and we expect more versions that will fix ESP32S2 issues.
lone axle
ah, if pasted a \t maybe it would try to use it for completion
onyx hinge
This is the issue I had on nRF: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/3152 -- random characters in the middle of a paste were dropped unpredictably
thorny jay
QT-Py is also 6.0.0
onyx hinge
I modified my terminal program to "fix" it
lone axle
unrelated to this issue, but curious if anyone knows while folks are around. Are there different requirements needed in order to build esp32s2 ports?
idle owl
Yes.
onyx hinge
@lone axle yes, there are steps for setting up the esp-idf
it installs a bunch o'stuff
ionic elk
@lone axle I wrote a big 'ol readme in the port
tulip sleet
it's quite complicated, depends on which python versions are installed
thorny jay
MagTag is grey scale too...

@thorny jay Whoohooo! ๐
ionic elk
most of the stuff should be done by the IDF itself though
lone axle
Ooh, I have no python2 currently I'm sure I can get it figured out though
can set up a venv if needed.
lone axle
Ah, I misread that
ionic elk
IDF should do everything else, once you set the environmental variables, which should also be pretty easy if you follow the readme
lone axle
I have python on my system but it does run python3 Found this page now. Thanks for writing this up!
ionic elk
Don't install the IDF elsewhere either, that's kind of confusing if you go 100% off the IDF docs - when you have a local version like the one in Circuitpython you don't need a global install in your user folder
modern wing
Thanks all ๐
ionic elk
IDF actually makes its own virtual environment which it uses privately, so you can't use your own
or the two will conflict and it'll explode

Has anyone looked at watchdog support for the esp32s2 port? Seems like it's not too awful with esp-idf, I just don't have a feel for how the TaskHandles jives in with everything else yet. This is the first time I've been in this section of the esp-idf programming guide though so maybe it's not too bad, but I didn't want to start messing with it if someone has already found dead ends here
slender iron
@olive abyss I haven't heard of anyone looking at it. We do have an existing watchdog API

@slender iron yeah I was perusing that one, I saw the NRF boards had it exposed. I'll probably take a look at it soon, would be nice to have to clean up after wifi/radio fails or other stuff. found myself wanting it for a RFM69 hangup this morning
