Remember folks, Dell/Microsoft/Norton/IRS is never going to call you -- they're never going to try to give you a refund over the phone or verbally threaten you with jail time for an "unspecified error" on your back taxes.

And a car under your name certainly wasn't found on the border of Texas and Mexico in connection with money laundering.

#

Don't answer numbers you don't know. And if you're unsure, ask a lot of questions. And get a reference ID/case number...and call your bank/IRS/etc directly, from the phone number on the back of your card or the company's official webpage.

# smoky island Have a nice night everyone!

It seems I missed the LIVE stream again, catching up right now but here are initial idea:
There is a way to run action on self-hosted server rather than github server.
And there is a version that works on Raspberry Pi 4.
You need to run a container, it connect to github and wait for action to be performed for you.
I can imagine a Pi4 with a CP board connected that would execute on device test (gc, import, gc) and report.
Search something like "Self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions Raspberry Pi". Not sure how to scale that for multiple Pi and repo...

wind spoke
#

@smoky island I am half stream now... rather than to write to REPL and get the result, I would create a new code.py and restart the board. Also I wonder if most stuff could not be done with discotool from @upper sandal (or code from discotool). It would handle finding the right serial port and file system path, maybe importing the module dependancy, so that you can concentrate on copying the right mpy and running the testing code, then recover the result that could be in a file you just need to read.

Local runners seems very useful.

#

Octopi uses it to test newly built images on RPi's. She says it works fantastic.

#

Foosel.

#

Basically put the image on a device and then test that it all works locally.

#

Of course, for our devices we really need test code instead.

sand lotus
#

Would that make github a coprocessor to some extent for some things?

clever summit
#

Yeah, tannewt has talked about this need, when we were discussing "unit testing".

sand lotus

One potential problem I had identified is for to access from the container the mounted CP board and serial port. Not the typical isolation scenario from a container...

grand tusk
#

Wow I like the blinka status lights idea.

upper sandal
#

I would write a python script using pyserial to inject stuff

#

maybe tio has a command to inject data ?

#

yeah

#

on unix (bash) that would work I think:

repls=`discotool get repl`
for repl in $repls;
do
  echo "SOME COMMANDS" > "$repl" 
done
#

yeah I would go for a python script

grand tusk
#

python -c "whatever"

#

-m means execute a module

upper sandal
#

like python3 -m pip executes pip

#

(a good way to make sure you launch the pip version that matches your python version)

Very nice! I’m trying to design more complex systems myself

It caches a file 10 seconds after cloning the repo

cinder wind
#

I've tried using platformio pretty deeply every few years. As a general cross-platform build tool it's great, but it seems to have slightly different versions for Arduino cores & libraries, meaning build products are noticeably different and sometimes non-functional. At least in my experience

autumn turret
#

I like the "Pardon our progress" expression. Apologizing for making improvements!

#

Congrats to the team who got all that work on the forums done!

upper sandal
#

oh I didn't check, does the forum do code syntax highlighting now ?

thorn oasis
#

platformio is great for stuff you write to the same framework across platforms. so for something like arduino which you can build for an esp32, arduino, ti launchpad, or an stm32, it's wonderful. you just add a board definition in the ini file, and you change your command line to specify a different environment, the same code builds for a different chip

I've worked through this problem before. I ended up downloading the mpy_cross utility and then compiling the source files in a temporary workspace.

I'll have to update my utilities to use the circuitpython_build_tools. I recall it being somewhat inflexible at the time I was working on this project. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 🙂

I'm planning on pre-compiled release packages, so cross-compiling between 7.x, 8.x, etc would be nice. 👌

those look very similar to the 2-pin 5mm RGB LEDs I've had for ages. On power up they fade up red -> fade up green -> fade down red -> fade up blue -> fade down green -> fade up red -> fade down blue -> repeat. (or a pattern similar to that) If you cut power and re-apply power, cycle starts back at red.

turbid hill
#

@cinder wind Yes I have a few of them in my LED collection

reef dew
sand lotus
#

Color fading would be pretty but if they’re not all in sync it might drive you crazy after a while.

#

and I mean a bank of 16 would likely not stay in sync without a clock.

turbid hill
#

I think the gizmo they use internally to change color is not very timing accurate

cinder wind
#

it is not accurate at all. they fall out of sync within about a second

sand lotus
#

Right, my point is with a 4 pin argb led it might be possible.

cinder wind
#

and is temperature dependent, so you can sorta build a thermometer based on how fast they cycle

turbid hill
#

Need a neopixel in a led housing

sand lotus
#

Interesting didn’t know that.

#

Probably possible to mod it yourself with a small neopixel yeah. As long as all 4 small holes are usable.

turbid hill
#

neopixel should only need three wires, power (2) and control (1)

cinder wind
#

also need DOUT

sand lotus
#

What is 4 pin for white?

turbid hill
#

if chaining neopixels, but if only using a single one?

cinder wind
#

neopixels are in a line. each LED sends data it doesn't use from its DIN to out its DOUT. so you need four pins: V+, Gnd, DIN, DOUT

sand lotus
#

Could use 4 pin legs from 2 regular 2 pin LEDs and solder them to the neopixel.

#

Those holes are a tight fit.

turbid hill
sand lotus
#

Yup that’s exactly what I was looking for, but in a 3mm size.

cinder wind
#

not available in 3mm I think. 5mm yes

sand lotus
#

Yeah. 😥

cinder wind
#

technically a 3mm THT should be possible: put the LED die of the 2020 SMD part in a through-hole package. but demand for through-hole versions of WS2812/Neopixel parts is pretty small. May be easier to use the 5mm version and drill out the hole of the switch

sand lotus
#

Ahh another good idea.

turbid hill
#

perhaps 3.5mm

unknown.png
cinder wind
#

Adafruit sells those I think. aka "3535". They use them on Feathers. And the "2020" size on QTPys

sand lotus
#

Trying to solder 16 custom 4 pin 3.5mm neopixels would probably be frustrating too.

cinder wind
#

yes they are 🙂 not made for humans to solder

sand lotus
#

I need a big diopter

reef dew

probably would be easier with a soldering robot

ah thats a good idea

sand lotus

I've never done eink before. Would be fun to learn about

sand lotus

eink you can't see at night though, you need a flashlight on it basically.

#

can barely see the magtag without direct light on it

hazy tiger
#

really? hmmm I kind of like being able to see the screen with the lights off...

#

maybe some kind of recessed eink display with some leds that could shine on it

sand lotus
#

maybe a graphic display isn't the best idea. green and red led would do the same thing.

hazy tiger
#

yeah true, but not as fun 🙂

sand lotus
#

true

hazy tiger
#

or I could do both and eink and leds

nova totem
#

Add a light sensor (or photo diode really) and you can turn the LEDs on when it is dark (though make sure they don't shine on the sensor - I made that mistake)

hazy tiger
#

wonder if I could make that look not too horrible

hazy tiger
sand lotus
#

that's what the magtag does but it's still not enough direct light because the little leds are above the display

#

if you can get light to shine directly on it then it'll be readable at night np

@open girder Seconding your heads-up about laser safety. Cheap laser add-ons to 3D printers are OK, but only if people understand that even looking at the working laser can damage unprotected eyes, that many common materials emit **toxic gases **when etched/cut, and that fire is always a possibility. Better to visit a local makerspace and get training on a good laser.

"Digitast" I think?

yeah it was some kind of corporate mechanical name

that was not the name i was thinking of

digitast isn't too bad but step switches is so much easier to remember as a common category name

Remoticon 2021 // Joey Castillo Teaches Old LCDs New Tricks

Segment LCD displays are slim, high contrast, and sip only the tiniest drops of electricity from your battery powered projects. If you want to hack an existing LCD into your design, you'll need to know how they work. And if you want to get your own custom LCD manufactured, you'll absolutely need to watch this Remoticon 2021 talk!

The Murderbot Diaries

The Murderbot Diaries is a science fiction series by American author Martha Wells published by Tor.com. The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor module, thus enabling it to develop independence, which it primarily uses to watch soap operas. As it spends more time with a serie...

@open surge Question: If folks watching want to get started with Circuit Python, where's a good place to start?

I really got into it as everything started and living alone having a community to talk to was a huge help

I agree with @cinder wind and @nova totem, CircuitPython has been fantastic for making me feel connected to a community when things went wonky these last couple years.

# scenic prawn Hi all, displayio has been tricky for me to wrap my head around. Is there a work...

The workflow is tricky to give advice on, there are certainly lots of ways you can go about it. The best resources I can point you towards are https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-display-support-using-displayio and https://learn.adafruit.com/making-a-pyportal-user-interface-displayio The latter is a lot more complex of an interface. But if you break it down to it's individual components they are good examples that can be re-used for other interfaces.

@scenic prawn I will be around during the sprints and for a good chunk of the day. If you're interested I'd be happy to hear a bit more about the displayio interface you're hoping to build and try to offer some more specific guidance.

# grand tusk q: what do you have running on your LED glasses? <https://www.adafruit.com/produ...

I got the glasses in Adabox. Very neat, but little practical daily use. So I've repurposed it as the illuminator for a retro-reflective chromakey screen! JP did a show on retroreflective screens a while ago. The tough part has been mounting it over the webcam, but with the camera pointing through the nosepiece, and using Bluefruit Connect I can change the color and brightness from my iphone. Save myself the cost of an LED ring!
