add the multiplexers to the multiplexer and you get pins galore
Question: how many pins with a 16 pin PCA multiplexer with the new 8 port multiplexer? math
8x16?
that's 128 pins on 1 bus. if you use it with the pico which has 2 busses that's 256 pins. full sized keyboard and then some.

@haughty quiver @open girder I'm down to do converters for those keyboards but they'll be going at the end of the line ๐คฉ๐

They are incredibly boring keyboards TBH, so the need for a converter is nearly non-existant @robust horizon ๐

That GameCube keyboard tho
haughty quiver
yo
on the other hand, doing Dreamcast controller to USB gamepad could be pretty snazzy...
same weird Maple Bus
robust horizon
Maybe I need to make the PS2 to make keyboard bus converter for all those dreamcasts out there
I could branch to controllers next. cables/connectors are the real stumbling block there
Unless there are after market cables still made
haughty quiver
oh this is interesting https://github.com/OrangeFox86/DreamcastControllerUsbPico
robust horizon
Someone's already done it? Yay
robust horizon
Why the RP2040 is a Game Changer
To emulate a bespoke bus such as the Maple Bus on an MCU, one would usually either need to add extra hardware or bit bang the interface
So true
haughty quiver
one source for connectors could be sacrificing these extension cables https://www.amazon.com/Wigearss-Controller-Extension-Cable-Sega-Dreamcast/dp/B09JJ8S821/

Yeah I don't feel too bad if it's only a third party cable that's being sacrificed

Why is the hash key sometimes called the pound key?
sand lotus
because you had to pound on it to make a free phone call
lavish patrol
Ah. So now I know. ๐
sand lotus
think they just fixed the deep sleep on the s2, so it's actually a real thing now
inner spade
Itโs the heaviest key on the โboard.
sand lotus
except for the S2 with built in voltage sensor, i think. still a bug for that.
still bugs to fix, we're in the middle of hacktoberfest after all.
ohh didn't know that guide existed, i'm definitely reading that one later.
sand lotus
"In the US it's often called the pound key, because it has long been used to mark numbers related to weight, or for similar reasons the number sign, which is one of its internationally agreed names."

That is one neat sequencer @cinder wind - very cool! And being able to run that euclidean sequencer on it sounds very intriguing too!

Walrus? That's a weird one. I sort of understood it when I read the description but I doubt I could remember if the right application came up.

iirc it was like the += operator but something to do with references or dictionaries.

Walrus returns the value after assignment, I think. Thatโs why in the language spec itโs usually contained in parentheses like a function.

hello

The horizontal power and ground rails are also split in the middle on that physical breadboard.
brazen chasm
good afternoon y'all
inner spade
Yes, where the red and blue lines are broken.
All my protoboards have short jumpers to close the gaps. Failure is a great teacher.
The newer large premium Adafruit breadboards have power busses connected across the gap. They are colored red and black, too. Weโll never know why blue was the legacy standard.
inner spade
Ah yes. I recall being bitten by the R before.
Recommend that you wire power and ground directly to the breakout rather than using the rails to reduce the number of wires. Would make it easier to check connections.
grand tusk
My notes from connecting a similar TFT breakout https://gist.github.com/rsbohn/0eae96a096def3788c830359d0d59b12

Yes, you can hot swap select, but may need to reinit the display.

started playing with the new user pages last night. it kept disconnecting me. on...
It may be browser-sensitive. I had problems with safari.
sand lotus
if you go to Learn > click on account > user pages
they just opened up learn guide creation, to anyone.
last night
MySpace for Adafruit Learn Guides? it was almost painful to try to use though. needs a ton of work.
proper prawn
Hi to all present!
sand lotus
yeah i was using Firefox on my iPad which shows up as Safari i guess. was in bed late at night maybe 4am, when user pages opened up, so was on a tablet.
tried pasting my code for the youtube api and it wouldn't accept it. like too many characters maybe.
i think it's the same, says tinymce at the bottom. yeah was a code object i think, it kept failing, not saving when i actually pasted code to the code box.
yeah i should submit feedback on that today
i don't like how it requires an active connection to the adafruit server in order to work. kept disconnecting which kills anything i was working on. super buzzkill.
inner spade
With safari, I have to refresh whenever a new page or page object changes, otherwise graphics will be invisible.
sand lotus
text box works great though...
same, that's plagued me forever. sometimes things will load and sometimes they'll disappear as i'm scrolling lol. i can see a picture and as i'm scrolling down it'll just disappear. that happens on all sites though. that's an ipad problem.
inner spade
I only experience that with Adafruit learn.
sand lotus
undo's and stuff makes sense, it's more of a "this browser is not chrome that every website is designed for" kinda thing.
product thing doesn't work. i put in 881 and nothing happens. nothing comes up.
yeah jumping around is frustrating but you get used to it after a while.
sand lotus
i think safari takes over firefox, yeah it's as weird as it sounds.
no web serial with FF. can't use web workflow or esp flasher with it
upper sandal
web workflow works fine in Firefox
sand lotus
oh figured it would use web serial, that's good to know, still haven't used it.
if you're not using the I2C specifically on pins then it's still available. it's per protocol per pin that'll be in use.
upper sandal
it's per I2C bus, of which there are 2
sand lotus
i'm using I2C 0 for 1 mcp23017 expander and I2C 1 for another. that's what allows me to have 32 pins for the step switches and led's.
upper sandal
yeah the neopixels are controlled through the seesaw
the library takes care of that anyway
sand lotus
my experience with pico has been the same it was super easy, everything worked first time, it's great.
haven't used pico w yet but it's identical pinout, works exactly the same but has wifi.
grand tusk
Hope to play trivia some day on my TFT ESP32-S2 Feather.
sand lotus
the s2 tft has input buttons on it too right? i don't have one.
oh those are just boot reset in a different location, nvm
keypad library but don't know if thats for seesaw, i'd like to think something is built into the seesaw library?
grand tusk
nice
sand lotus
lol pretty!, nyan cat kinda thing
upper sandal
you can use adafruit_debouncer, but it will poll every button separately (which takes 8ms each)
I have a couple of scripts for the neokey 1x4 that do bulk reading which makes it more efficient, but you would have to wrap it into something to make it look like keypad, which I might actually do some day
sand lotus
i've never used seesaw yet. seems versatile.
ok, thank you for streaming, looks like the hw and software are in a cool place now. looking forward to next stream where you tie it all together.

the Ruiz brothers or Liz made an awesome project with a learning mode for infrared remotes... the learning feature is a big big deal. adafruit is making it super easy to make your own universal remote.

Hey Tim. In bed with fever and so very bored. ๐

.png support is a huge move forward. Lossless compression and transparency support. Does this build png transparency into the palette?
Wondering if the transparency can be automatically generated by the .png file itself.
Look at the palette list after loading and test for transparency before setting it in the code.
clever summit
I thought PNG's used an alpha channel for transparency?
Maybe just one of the formats?
inner spade
I thought PNG's used an alpha channel for transparency?
Yes, I believe itโs an 8-bit channel.
clever summit
Looks like it is getting confused of how many columns it is rendering?
Found this:
Palette-based images, also known as colormapped or index-color images, use the PLTE chunk and are supported in four pixel depths: 1, 2, 4, and 8 bits, corresponding to a maximum of 2, 4, 16, or 256 palette entries. Unlike GIF images, however, fewer than the maximum number of entries may be present.
Palette not being the size it thinks?
inner spade
Ah, no compression and palette required. No alpha support with palette mode.
clever summit
And stream died.
inner spade
Can you make lots of colors then specify the max when converting to indexed? That way you can select the number of colors in the palette more easily.
clever summit
You can use the "file" command in Linux to get info on the image format.
inner spade
Excellent sleuthing

Ha! Half of those on the list are from old project repos that are being refactored to apply all Iโve learned from watching Foamy and other CircuitPython experts. Would be embarrassing to leave them as-is even though they worked okay. Finally figuring out how to successfully submit to the Community Bundle was motivating too.

If you need bluetooth and I2C only for your project, it's perfect. Probably great for LED strips.

Although the actual decoding and reading of disk data into the drive's own internal RAM happens much faster, the data transfer rate between the drive and the computer is limited to the very low value of about 300 bytes per second. It can be made much higher by using a fast loader (up to about 10 kilobytes per second).

@sand lotus I explored a little bit inside shields.io and found that it, in turn, fetches https://discord.com/api/v6/guilds/${serverId}/widget.json and looks at the "presence_count" of the returned json object. The returned json is a bit big, around 35kB, so parsing it all might be trouble depending which CircuitPython board you're using.
for esp32s2 with psram it's probably fine

To add the degree char, went looking for the terminalio.FONT binary but came up short. Think itโs in the micropython source somewhere.
grand tusk
No degree symbol in terminalio.FONT (lots of requests for it)

Thank you again Tim. Goodnight to y'all. Have a nice weekend.

@chrome totem I used another font which has it
inner spade
Thanks. Good times.

@chrome totem: from adafruit_bitmap_font import bitmap_font fn = "/fonts/helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf" # This font has a degrees sign font = bitmap_font.load_font(fn)
@chrome totem. Here the degrees sign in gps position
Using a font like this makes the printing to the screen slower. The terminalio.font is built-in and prints instantly

I can get six lines of text on the Esp32-S2 TFT Feather if I use the Arial-14 font.

Oddly enough the larger matrixes sell better but also larger pitch. Iโd rather have the more condensed pitch. Itโs weird because in monitors, the more pixel density the more expensive they are..for microcontrollers the opposite seems true.
Oh Iโm specifically talking about the RGB matrix panels. Thatโs where you see a big difference in pitch translate to large differences in size.

I was up all night coding. About to crash coming down from a caffeine high.
Never heard of it. Never played wordle either, hear thatโs pretty popular too.

It is kinda nice to see the progress of CircuitPython, even though it just by managing translations of new error messages. ๐

Thank you. Everyone working with apiโs lately. ๐ it was a frustrating learning experience. Just wanted to share that with you before I nod off. Iโll be falling asleep watching you this morning.

I can also put six lines on that screen if I want to.
Hi Tim & all present. I am a bit late. I was in FaceTime with my son in Louisville, KY.
Wrote a short test script to see the touch values of adafruit_tt22100 module with the esp32-s3-box. Odd: that the 0,0 is the right top corner instead of left-top.
grand tusk
Maybe you got the Australian version.

Bought it through Adafruit Ind.
Or Arabian or Hebrew? They write from right to left too isn't it?
grand tusk
I was just thinking that it works as expected if you hold it upside-down.
proper prawn
Or there is an error in the algorithm of the tt22100 module?
I copied the source. I have to study it
Here is the 'property' touches of the tt22100 module
The author of this code is Scott. Wrote it in 2017.

You may need to translate the touch points to match the display. See https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_TT21100/blob/main/examples/tt21100_paint.py

If it was Scott it is obviously correct. ๐
So touch is 180ยฐ off compared to the display?
proper prawn
@chrome totem thank you. Yes, I was already thinking about something like that. So, I don't have to re-invent the wheel ๐
@clever summit it appears like that.
@clever summit Scott sure is good, I experienced that. On the other hand no human is infallible.
However first think the algorithm is correct. See was could be the cause for this odd 'mirror'-ing.
clever summit
<@519101478435291146> Scott sure is good, I experienced that. On the other hand ...
That is true. The thing I am trying to teach the guys I mentor at work is that I am never wrong, but that does not mean I don't make mistakes. ๐
proper prawn

Often I experienced with debugging problems that it was me that caused the error or an omission.
clever summit
The "never wrong" actually only means that all final decisions are mine.
I sometimes checkin bugs just to show I am not unfailable so they don't feel bad when it happens to them.

I am pleased that I now have CPY running on my ESP32-S3-BOX. Unfortunately there is a serious problem when trying to connect to a WiFi AP in the house. The MCU goes into a boot-loop, reporting internal watchdog timer did reset the PRO CPU and reset the APP CPU. I created an issue. Danh is looking into it.
yep
I see now that the SPI mode of the MCU is 'QIO'. I Checked and see that I flashed the tinyuf2 bootloader (combined.bin) using ESP2S3 Flash Download tool V3.9.3 with SPI MODE 'DIO'. I don't now if this could be a source of the problem?

It's really functional and looks very clean as you click through, well done!
That interaction is something I hate doing so I really appreciate it when it's done well like this kind of thing

Unfortunately.... still crashes on WiFi connect attempt.
Thank you Tim. All, have a fine rest of this weekend ! Thanks for the chats and the advises.
