sounds like this avr will be good for arduino. has 2 interrupts too which is nice.

@queen sentinel What are you making? Are there other BLE options?

maybe a metro mini-mini-mini?

i think they might use something like that for seesaw or multiplexers too

@open girder question could the microchip CPU be used as a “ see-saw” type board on a future Adafruit board ? Could it have that type of use ? adafruit

what is cross detection?

@echo canopy I'm guessing that it may be more expensive than other options. But yeah, one certainly could.

will be cool for my weatherstation, will look into a UV sensor too. didn't even consider that for a weatherstation.

#

someone on YouTube asked about the Curiosity board header holes are not in a line… i think that's an innovation (from SparkFun? not sure of credit here) to help hold inline headers in place for soldering, or even to have enough friction to make good electrical contact

how much stuff will I3C break that uses adafruit I2C clockstretching?

when I learned CS the teacher said that the halting problem is undecidable unless you are orbiting a black hole (unlimited time)

To this day I'm not sure if that was a joke or not (and even then, who cares ?)

And even then it wouldn't work for factorials algorithms and such thing because the black hole would dissipate first

sand lotus
#

@reef dew this is the live broadcast topic after all... that's how this works 😆

#

people usually only chat in here while a live stream is happening.

reef dew
#

I though you guys were still discussing a stream that happened some time ago

sand lotus
#

chat usually doesn't happen in here more than about 5-10 minutes before or after a stream. if chat happens long after a stream it's considered off topic and people move over to general chat topic to continue conversations.

grand tusk
#

The gh tool is amazing.

sand lotus
#

does it need that many for a startup calibration or something?

reef dew
#

I don't even see fifo_acceleration in the library code

#

so not sure what's it's calling with sensor.fifo_acceleration()

#

unless you have access to non-public code

smoky island
sand lotus
#

he's working on the library 😉

#

that does seem like an awful lot of repeated tuple values.

reef dew
#

could you adjust the rate and bandwidth just in case ?

#

for the normal accel I mean

sand lotus
#

how many times is it repeating the tuple output? if it's consistent could be a clue.

reef dew
#

ie: RATE_1344_HZ, MODE_HIGH_RESOLUTION, RANGE_16G just in case

grand tusk
#

I think it implements a FIFO queue on the x,y,z streams.

Hey Tim!

morning

sand lotus
#

because of word wrap sometimes you can resize the window and you'll get it to show itself in a much more readable way... in case you don't want to parse the output. it's weird but it works sometimes.

inner spade
#

Good morning!

#

Do you have a PyCharm add-in that emulates the mu or Atom plotter capability? Might help to spot the patterns.

sand lotus
#

that's a good idea too but probably not accurate enough to ensure all raw values are identical. parse or formatted print would honestly be best.

#

is there an init sequence that might be wrong for that mode where it's reading data beyond a certain amount of time (in ms) or something like that?

inner spade
#

Is the module a lsm303 or lsm303dlh? They use different libraries.

sand lotus
#

the one currently in the store is the LSM303AGR

inner spade
#

I’ll see if I have one. Would be interesting to see if the mag driver shows similar issues.

sand lotus
#

i don't even have to look. i know i don't. i have no use for a dof sensor in my life right now.

#

maybe someday when i build my lifesize replicant murderbot i'll need one.

open surge
#

If the value is greater than two but also if it's 4? Can you do that?

#

Thanks, good to know I have learned some Python. 🙂

grand tusk
#

Hello everyone.

#

Keep the accelerometer. The pybadge has one built-in and it is fun.

inner spade
#

Holes are good for cooling enclosed TFT displays. The backlight on some gets surprisingly warm.

#

Had to put a fan in aPyPortal case and use the light sensor to dim/blank the display to keep it cool.

#

A hole for the light sensor? I’ve used it for a primitive gesture detector.

#

Would exposing an SD card slot be useful?

sand lotus

ruiz brothers use an extension on their little lunchbox media server to access their sd card

Is there a simple way to convert from [Eagle] to OScad?

inner spade

Okay, I’ll stop with the scope creep for now. Wait, can it accommodate an attached speaker for reaching annoying noise levels? Okay, now I’ll stop.

noble grove
#

That's fine. Good enough.

sand lotus
inner spade
sand lotus
#

you can barely hear the audio from the small oval speakers

#

the 3W I2S module with a 3W speaker is loud enough

inner spade
#

The oval speaker on the PyPortal is very loud.

sand lotus
#

oh that's right got the pyportal board to deal with in there

i don't have one, if cgrover says its good enough then i'll trust that

you'd be a great programming professor. i could totally see that.

Their 20w amp works nicely.

Some of the path is obscured but you can deduce the end.

open surge
#

Default export, I didn't open it first though

#

I can barely figure out how to create an object. Maybe ask Pedro or Noe. 🤷

sand lotus
#

the free version of fusion360 doesn't have library/addon support like the paid version. i was trying to make one of those 3D animated gifs for wipper snapper component and couldn't. no library support means it won't find stuff like resistor and capacitors for the board render.

#

for gaming, the buttons are pretty much always on the right.

#

navigation is usually on the left

#

unless navigation is buttons, but the joystick in there in this case.

noble grove
#

button caps?

sand lotus
#

yeah import some button cap models that have lipped edges, can make 4 holes for them. more appealing than an open square.

noble grove
#

You could have 'top-hat' shaped bits trapped between the buttons and the case.

#

Like in a calculator.

sand lotus
#

ah didn't realize the round button caps were for that style of tacticle switch. nothing in adafruit store for the small round ones you're right.

#

you'd have to desolder them and put on some taller ones

noble grove
#

The joystick is pretty thick.

#

and has a cap that isn't shown in the render

i'm having trouble getting the cyberdeck hat and the hyperpixel 4 inch screen to work on the pi 400 despite following all instructions given by adafruit

the more boards you have with the different connectors the more you'll want something like that. i want to replace ALL my usb cables with them now.

Q: DS4420 will it support multiple I2C addresses? A: yes, looks like 8 available addresses.

most circular ones are power only, in fact the brand I bought my data ones from seems to no longer exist, it's a shame, I love the freedom (they also have a rotating head)

this is the kind of magnetic cables I use, though mine are a little different, from TOPK who apparently stopped making them. The magnetic connection is round allowing for 360° of rotation but still does data, and the cable also can turn at a 90° angle which is really useful when you got devices that have the plug in the back or at the top and you try to fit them on your desk:

https://www.amazon.com/S-Magnetic-Universal-Compatible-i-Product/dp/B082PXYPQB/

swivel head seems like it would be delicate and break but really similar.

#

didn't even know magnetic connectors existed before i saw the chonky black ones on adafruit. love the concept.

upper sandal
#

yeah I am careful with the swivel head

reef dew
#

don't want some cable just want 30-in-1 usb cable 😦

sand lotus
#

if you have them plugged into every device then the cable becomes universal. hard to wrap my head around, it's too easy, what's the catch.

reef dew
#

that accept all possible types of usb cables as output and a normal one as input 😦

upper sandal
#

I have 5 magnet cables connected to my computer (and 2 to the other computer and 2 to power-only plugs) and heads on the boards I commonly use, and I swap boards without caring if they need micro or USBC

sand lotus
#

can you buy only the magnetic plug ends in case you lose them? i might have to go replace all my cables with these now. like seriously, i'm gonna do it.

upper sandal
#

for the ones I have yes, I bought a bunch

sand lotus
#

this is a way around the proprietary connector madness

reef dew
sand lotus
#

hope they backport these to every style including the old apple 30 pin or whatever. what a great idea.

upper sandal
#

and micro USB 3, and mini USB 3

#

but no they usually only make micro, C and lightning

sand lotus
#

makes having a rats nest of cables more bearable. constantly pulling on cables to look at the end, nope not that one, or that one, oh there it is.

reef dew
#

we should just be using neutrinos like the star to talk to MCU they have a bandwidth of 900 trillion kbps anyway, fast enough

#

and it would be wireless too

micro-b, mini-b, usb-c, and lightning pretty much all the major ones anyone's needed for the past 15 years.

so how is that worse? can't you crack that open and replace it with the magnetic one?

reef dew

These can be dangerous, I used to use them until one retracted to my knee

#

oh

upper sandal
#

magnetic ones are typically circular nylon-covered cables

sand lotus
#

well umm are you good at soldering? 😛

reef dew
#

there's like an elastic inside so sometime they can pinch a bit

sand lotus
#

seems like a lot of work but doable.

upper sandal
#

there are cable retractor things too but not as practical

#

I don't even know what to call it

sand lotus
#

i'll assume when you pull them out they lock in place and don't try to drag the board back with it like a lizard tongue?

upper sandal
#

yeah they go click click click

sand lotus
#

i'll look into picking some of those up too then, give them a shot. my rats nest is getting worse the more boards i get

upper sandal
#

oh there are cable winders

sand lotus
#

i'll get some of the magnetic type and retractors. see if i can solder them together.

upper sandal
#

(I am not an Amazon affiliate, but it's easier to link to an amazon page)

sand lotus
#

it's actually very appreciated, link to the flat retractor?

#

i like the idea of a smaller form factor, will try to solder them together.

upper sandal
#

and the cable is all bent at the point you hooked it

sand lotus
#

i'll give that one a go with the magnetic heads

upper sandal
#

yeah there's a bunch of generic retractable cables that look and feel flimsier

#

but might be good nonetheless

sand lotus
#

some of the others had multiple ports on them which with multiple cables would look like i have a squid on my desk.

#

if i was more into chuthulu i might be ok with.

upper sandal
#

I actually like the really flimsy ones because unlike most cables they are so thin that the cable does not move the board (most normal cables will stop you from having your board flat on the desk just by the weight of the cable)

sand lotus
upper sandal
#

but the cheap flimsy ones break easily (the retracting mechanism) and I have doubts about their power carrying abilities if used to recharge something

sand lotus
#

figured if you like the ones you pictured then i'd go for something proven

upper sandal
#

ah I'm not showing what I bought, but the category of products

#

that' why I say "like those"

#

not "those"

sand lotus
#

😒

#

cable matters is usually pretty good, will try that first.

reef dew
#

sometime when I ask for alternatives here I hope you aren't offended and don't think I'm not taking the suggestion, adafruit can't be the answer always for me, so I like to know what is cheap/good as well... like those cables you are discussing about.

upper sandal
#

here's ones I bought, that is the last non magnetic currently on my desk with a feather ESP32 V2 flying in the air at the other end: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B074P2VDYH/

#

but, you know, amazon.fr + "not available" as is often the case with generic USB products within months of buying it

#

and to be honest I partly chose them for the colors

sand lotus
#

they're all pretty short but i don't keep boards far from the pc anyway. only long cord i really need is for headphone recharging. ahhh it'll make taking the cable from the rechargable headphones easier. kind of exciting to get them and start trying it out.

upper sandal
sand lotus
#

probably have like 20 cables to swap out all over the house. when adafruit starts stocking them i'll get some from them too.

upper sandal
#

note that magnetic cables are not interoperable, everyone does their thing, so that's an issue to consider

sand lotus
#

hmm good point

upper sandal
#

if you pick one and you can't get new cables, you have to change them all

reef dew
#

reviews for A.S Gen2 USB says they aren't data cables despite what's claimed 😦

upper sandal
#

or partition your workspace/house into territories

sand lotus
#

good catch didn't even think of that 😬

upper sandal
#

oh that sucks

sand lotus
#

yeah i'll just wait until adafruit stocks them and gobble up a bunch.

upper sandal
#

not that I always trust reviews mind you but for 20$ I'm not gonna be the guinea pig

sand lotus
#

ikr

reef dew
#

so which ones should I get?

upper sandal
#

oh there are other brands with different designs of swivel heads, the market is expanding

sand lotus
#

i'll wait until adafruit stocks them, they're sure to be data and power

fyi, in these scenarios the product tends to sell out, so be quick

that's a good one

drowsy inlet

i think the banner said usps api was down. maybe that's affecting shipping options?

sand lotus

yeah $30 for shipping and shipping quote issues might kill this week product pick of the week.

verbal river
#

USPS down? 😮 I can understand if twitter is down, or if my cell provider goes down for an entire day, but the Post Office? 😱

sand lotus

like, it's not an emergency, i don't need 2 day shipping priority for a metro mini.

metro mini is arduino only, but with FastLED it's still a wicked great LED driver board.

forced 2nd day air shipping is going to negate any savings from it being product pick of the week 😔

it's basically the Uno in a tiny form factor

In my day we used a Boarduino. 😄

i picked up 2 along with a larger order.

yeah i think the idea was based on the Arduino Nano except it doesn't have the same issue with the FTDI drivers anymore. think it went to ch3 drivers?

#

question, is it native USB?

#

like what kind of drivers?

#

the adafruit arduino uno clone is called metro. so the nano clone is called the metro mini.

SiLabs CP2102N hardware USB to Serial converter

no learn for that one specifically yet

I believe they are USB translated to tty port on the micro-controller chip, like a uno or a mega. I mean you can program a uno with a programmer vi the ISP pins and not use the ch34x USB interface chip.

Thanks @haughty quiver

can you pick up your order in person for adafruit ?

all i heard was sequencer and everything was a blank after that

inner spade

Mind the gap!

haughty quiver
#

@reef dew no, shipping only

inner spade
#

Thanks @haughty quiver !

reef dew
#

ah I asked because I'm strongly considering going to the US or China because of the shipping problems / shortage

haughty quiver
#

thank you all!

reef dew
#

but I guess being in the same city as adafruit would solve the problem too

sand lotus
#

go to NY, shipping should be faster from adafruit 😛

turbid hill
#

Being in the same city is cheating, pretty fun if you could walk to adafruit and buy from the front counter

sand lotus
#

that would be cool!

reef dew
#

I signed up for the green card lottery so we will see

turbid hill
#

They could add buy so much from the front counter and your freebee is a tour

sand lotus
#

picked up 2 pico's too. seems todbot and jp using that platform for sequencer controllers so "I need it"

#

yeah no tours, definitely no tours

reef dew
#

The other solution is that I make a drone with an oled that can travel between continents

#

get authorization to fly above airspace

#

land in shenzen and put instructions on the screen to put my items on it, then fly it back to canada

#

Atm I'm not sure which one of the two solution are harder

turbid hill
#

bought my pico's from Canakit in Vancouver

sand lotus
#

well they have ground based drones that will pick up stuff and put it in the vehicle for you... they're called shipping companies.

turbid hill
#

Lol

#

yeah a UPS driver classed as a Drone....Angel

reef dew
#

but I have to pay duties, hidden fees, wait etc

#

if my drone is stealth no one can see it so no duty/customs etc and it's fast 🤣

turbid hill
#

We all have to wait for things, I wait 2-4 weeks all the time for Aliexpress stuff

sand lotus
#

biological based intelligent drone, fully autonomous, listens and responds to commands.

turbid hill
#

Yeah right UPS stop charging so much duty, UPS increase duty by 100%

reef dew
#

let me know when this chat die for 4 days 😄

#

i missed the memo last time

sand lotus
#

if you don't have a company like adafruit in your region, start one?

reef dew
#

shipping isn't much less expensive just because someone is a company

#

or I would have done that a long time ago...

verbal river
sand lotus
#

you can order in bulk for discounts though

#

digikey carries adafruit stuff too.

reef dew
#

Plus in canada it's harder to test the boards because the electrons slow down as it get colder (ands stops at 0K)

sand lotus
#

digikey is in north dakota i think, that's basically canada.

#

compared to me in Florida anyway

verbal river
reef dew
#

there is a part of the US where they have to enter canada to buy food or go to school

turbid hill
#

ugh North Dakota is defiantly not Canada, tsk tsk

reef dew
#

and they get a special pass at the border crossing because of that

turbid hill
#

west coast is where that special chunk of land is

reef dew
#

North Dakota is almost not populated, meanwhile North-North-North Dakota in Canada has a couple of large cities. Because logic doesn't hold

turbid hill
#

east coast Canada has a town that is serviced by a ferry from the US

reef dew
#

Also if you fall in certain canadian bodies of water you might get rescued by US personnel

turbid hill
#

only the great lakes

sand lotus
#

niagra

reef dew
#

nah some smaller lakes have rivers that cross the border

#

once your corpse cross the border it's the US problem

verbal river
reef dew
#

please let me know of their names because I order a board the size of a dice on adafruit or a small r/c part for hobbywing and they charge me 60$ for shipping + all the hidden fees from DHL/etc...

#

And I just decided to bar any US companies from my list because it's pointless because of the massive shipping

sand lotus
#

sparkfun? digikey carries their stuff too though as well.

reef dew
#

meanwhile china ship me a dc motor for 1$ and it's in canada the day after in vancouver (but CBSA takes 2 months to process it)

#

yeah but I don't know of any US companies besides digikey / mouse that have intermediate shipping warehouses in canada to avoid huge shipping costs

verbal river
reef dew
#

nah I have a postal box in my building, can even send snail mail from it

#

canada post workers were sick of ringing us up so we got one for free 🤣

sand lotus
#

that's true, USPS is the US royal post, all govt fees are probably much easier handled between those 2

reef dew
#

but DHL is basically german royal post...

sand lotus
#

is it? didn't know that

reef dew
#

And canada buy all their tanks from the german, surely they can negociate shipping fees too ? (less strategic stuff)

sand lotus
#

does canada expect their tanks in less than a week shipped though? 😛

verbal river
reef dew
#

I think the german send the leftover reserve B team tanks when they are in pieces so they have to be reassembled with glue etc 😄

#

That is what a documentary from ARTE said and they also showed the huge warehouse where they were kept

turbid hill
#

DHL to canada from Adafruit. My last purchase from them ws 455.30 USD, discount 45.53 becuase of Ask a engineer code, Shipping to Canada 47.30, duties was about $30 because of Cad GST charges

reef dew
#

There are some weird stuff as well, like you'd expect if you order more stuff it's less expensive

#

but personally it's always 35 usd$ base + 20% of the purchase above 35$ for the least expensive option

turbid hill
#

My lowest DHL was 22.25 for a 44.95 order with a 22 duty

reef dew
#

and stemma qt cable add 15$ of shipping per type (for some reason?!)

turbid hill
#

from Adafruit no..., Adafruit calculates shipping on full order weight for example that order I listed last DHL Express (1 x 0.25lbs) (Express Worldwide)

#

DHL duty is usually a flat $20 broker fee + GST

#

I am unsure if you are in a province with provincial sales tax if that is added on. I am alberta and only have to worry about GST

verbal river
#

Some sites will tell you whether particular shipping methods charge extra fees.

reef dew
#

we had two peoples the other days that complained that DHL added them a surprise "excess line" 80$ fee... in canada

#

hence me being worried about hidden fees

sand lotus
#

oh the metro mini also now has USB-C, didn't realize that at first. hope adafruit comes out with their magnetic cables soon. everything marching towards a USB-C world and I don't have enough cables for them.

reef dew
#

did some research on it and it seems like magnetic cables never get certified

#

because the magnetic part and not being joined together create ESD above the specs

sand lotus
#

the ones adafruit was looking at specifically?

reef dew
#

magnetic cables in general, reddit has a sticky about them

sand lotus
#

most of the ones i've seen have a swivel head and the ones adfruit showed don't have that.

reef dew
#

advising peoples to never buy them, forever

sand lotus
#

really, good to know

turbid hill
#

they should have talked to DHL, When I order and use DHL I use their tracking to see when it hits the Cincinnati hub and they have calculated duty and I pay right then online so that it arrives at my door and it is just drop off no other costs occur.

reef dew
#

DHL must have an API issue because I usually use this order to show you my shipping issue

verbal river
reef dew
#

but today instead of being 90$ for a 100$ order it's 30$

#

for some reason

#

if it let me order lithium batteries the DHL API is definitively down (since that's illegal)

turbid hill
#

It's UPS at the moment that is having a API issue according to Adafruit

#

you can have up to 3 lithium batterys in a DHL order

reef dew
#

canada post says it's illegal?

turbid hill
#

It specifically states that on Adafruit when you order a itme with even a 2032 battery

#

Canada post different rules

reef dew
#

lithium batteries that aren't part of an item in a dedicated battery box ?

#

but canada post are the feds and they make shipping laws ?

turbid hill
#

besides I have ordered lithium from Aliexpress and it always arrives just fine from Canada Post

reef dew
#

even adafruit weren't sure when I asked them

#

good to know

turbid hill
#

In adafruit it's on the shopping cart as you complete it and you have Lithium depending on the shipper it will state what the limits are and it won't complete the cart if you exceed it.

reef dew
#

I guess I'll have to try again another day

#

one day I'll have to group everything and make a big purchase off adafruit

#

since they sell things that mouser/digikey don't even order to offer up...

#

like the feather with the tft screen fused on 😦

#

and the r/c modding parts ffrom canada are very limited as well compared to integy part from the US so shipping is my #1 issue way before the shortage

turbid hill
#

The rules for battery's are so stupidly enforced, I get in a complaint from dhl if I have 5 items that have 2032 battery's but I order 10 18650 battery's from Ali-express and not a complaint from Canada post.

reef dew
#

meanwhile it's completely fine to import plutonium (just not by canada post)...

turbid hill
#

yeah probably

reef dew
#

as long as it's not enough becquerels/cuiries/whatever that exceed the limit in the law

#

do you get your packages form china held for long ?

#

something is definitively off with DHL

turbid hill
#

No never, but Canada post tends to gather multple china mail packs for me and puts them in a mega bundle before delivery which I guess saves them money

reef dew
#

Like I'm buying almost all of adafruit inventory and still 30$ shipping 🤣

easier if you know OBS 🙂 I've played with the "Share Camera" feature in Streamyard and it's a single button

use the virtual camera option and you can switch it yourself. it's really easy to setup.

i don't think a beginner wants to register with github just to ask a question. i guess discord would get a ton more action then.

re: n00ds. (a) no specs such as a datasheet. I need to know the shape so I can cut grooves in acrylic (b) can they be cut into shorter lengths (~30-35mm)?

i think you mean dimensions, because the shape can be fairly dynamic 😛

@plucky glen Datasheets often are added later. But ask again if they don't.

sand lotus

yeah having the width would be crucial for cutting grooves to slot them in.
