First batch of TR-Cowbells went out yesterday. They will be arriving at their destinations either on Monday or Tuesday depending on distance from FL. Got them out by Christmas, very happy about that.
inner spade
Sequenced cowbell holiday carols can happen now.
Try:except:else is pretty handy.
I occasionally overuse it.
teal river
Hiii
sand lotus
Try except almost mandatory for working with requests library and api. Super handy with requests because every API has their own failure messages. You can catch each failure and do something different with. Very useful for hammering away until you start getting actual key:value pair errors.
teal river
I'm catching up on 2x... about 15 minutes behind, lol
Silly question... what's a "state machine"?
sand lotus
Ethernet featherwings are nice to have just in case something breaks again in a future beta might be a handy fail-over. Yes theyโre faster but sometimes you canโt run ethernet everywhere, mailboxes for example. I could see wippersnapper being a great pair for always online logging because all WiFi drops eventually. No WiFi has 100% uptime.
inner spade
Used finite state machine designs in my hardware projects, too. A great way to organize and manage sequential events. The hardware implementations exist in the core of CPU chips.
sand lotus
I think anecdata did the 4 qt pys from 1 outlet. I havenโt seen the one youโre talking about with 3 different connection types but that sounds cool. Could just run all 3 from LTE.

Do you have a definition somewhere for how many pixels should be THE color?
That dooes look better
Do you have diffusion plastic? might help it not look as blown out
Sheets of white paper might help
oop, lol

Dropping the overall brightness can help

Oh yeah, that looks even better

Hi Tim and all present. I'm a bit late. Was preparing a post on M5Stack Community forum about a M5Stack board package for Arduino which Version name caused a compile error because of a '+' character in the version name.
brazen grove
it's slow because you are copying the whole thing
inner spade
Change the color list to start and stop with the same color to make it smoother
brazen grove
the efficient way to do it is to use a ring buffer
you could keep the list as is, and only increment the index, and then do: pixels[index:] = bezier_colors[:total-index]; pixels[:index] = bezier_colors[total-index:]
if you make bezier_colors a memoryview, then it's practically free
teal river
Cat wants more attention XD
brazen grove
you have the same number of pixel update operations, but you don't have the cost of popping and appending
a pop(0) is O(n), because it has to move all the elements
though it's in C, so probably fast anyways
inner spade
Are there use cases where the background isnโt black?
teal river
I have 11 of the NeoPixel BFF... what should I do with them? I realized making a 5x5 pixel game is kinda beyond my scope right now

Rather than iterating through the values, are you considering putting them in a numpy array and applying .interp once?
(Or am I late to the discussion?)

good morning โ
After 22 versions finally got a step switch cap 3D print to work right the first time. Minor victory. Feel like I've been living in fusion 360 and cura for the past couple days.
One of the neat things about Fusion 360 is it automatically increments your file saves as new versions. Imagine if pycharm did that how many iterations of ctrl+s would you have per project. It's both a neat feature but also i'm just like "i really don't want to know how inefficient I am thanks" ๐
inner spade
Itโs been interesting to watch the progress โ no 3D printing or laser cutter experience here. I still machine/fabricate by hand cause itโs great stress therapy. Although I use CAD for most designs.
sand lotus
Thank you. It's just 1 small piece in a much larger project.
i often use beep beep language but only when i hurt myself
there's gotta be someone who's already done a morse code encoder/decoder for python, CP dunno.
a morse code library sounds appealing for a doomsday device. encoding is super easy, decoding something you pick up from airwaves is harder.
maybe i'll build one for my LORA project whenever i get back around to that one.
communicating morse code via LORA seems quite redundant though lol
jovial estuary
i know some ham radio gear uses Morse code for status or alerts
inner spade
round() is already a circuitpython module
Havenโt been able to see the entire map_range formula, but I suspect itโs just doing a ratio factor.
Usually the case when x_min and y_min both = 0
Yeah, in_min and out_min = 0 ( I was using slope-intercept nomenclature)
Try (colors / tail_len) * n
instead of map_range

They make rechargeable mice now. Can use it while recharging with the cord.
inner spade

sand lotus
Well you have been coding more, or at least streaming more.
which is appreciated, helps fill in the gap some as schedules have shifted around temporarily.
all wireless mice are like that, especially ones on non-rechargeable batteries.
one of the best wireless mouse i owned i got from a big lots for literally $4 while i was on vacation. worked so well ended up using as my full time mouse for years.

โ the page mentions that you can use itsy bitsy short female headers for easy mounting/removing, but you have to trim to 7 pins. How easy/difficult is it to trim headers?

voltage drop perhaps or over current? unsure and don't think i want to risk damaging my noods but i'll do it for science if no one else has.
well if you think of each nood like a 2-pin LED and you chain them together there will be more current and voltage drop yeah.

I think you can do octal
"011 is 9, not 11"
"Only integers supported by strtol. (no 0o, no 0b, no underscores 1_000, 011 is 9, not 11)"
brazen chasm
I'm gonna try to follow when you are using your HDD and when your changing files on the device. We talked about this before, where to develop your code, and the reasons for not doing it on the device. Its very hard to follow all your clicks, would you mind pointing out when you're on HDD, when you transfer it to device and when you develop on the device?
inner spade
Octal was very useful when working with a front panel manually-operated boot loader switch array on minicomputers like the DEC PDP series.

wifi.radio.ipv4_address (corrected)
if you have more than one web workflow device, circuitpython.local may point to any of them
if you know the MAC address, you can probably guess at the other mDNS name and access the device that way
sorry yes v4
disable your HTTPS everywhere
yes, only HTTP, no HTTPS
I think it's on by default in Mozilla, maybe chrome too
clear caches or new private window
http://192.168.1.132 should get to the "Welcome" page
web workflow was added to Pico W in beta.5 (using .env)
web workflow works with TOML in beta.6
it sometimes takes a while for the web workflow pages to come up

From my experience using BearSSL (completely different library and C language stuff) but might apply here... I had to apply certificates for Https in order for certain things to work within a browser.

I've learned more about Linux administration in the past 2 days than in the past 10 years. It's a lot to take in. determined to try to finish before christmas just to do it.

Tim, why in line 23 say "Connected'? How you know that you're connected? I would first check if there is an IP-address b4 printing 'Connected'

one of the exercises in windows powershell took 45 minutes. the same thing in linux took 5 minutes. i feel like they're trying to steer people towards linux administration lol

true, but typically there would be an exception if connect() returns and it's not connected
proper prawn
OK, but then your script crashes
sand lotus
came in late sorry, what's the goal of the gist's API request?
are you going to have to take ownership and chmod just to look at the file?
how would you add new data to it like for other api's then?
i like how most pie emoji's are red like raspberry pi or cherry pi to see it better
why use a gist vs regular repo? gist can be private?
grand tusk
Gists are not private. Anyone with the URL can view it.
sand lotus
first time you get a proper key:value response always feels good.
strong acorn
Gists are not private. Anyone with the URL can view it.
there should be a third choice where secret gists are truly private, at least between you and Microsoft
sand lotus
probably helps prevent people from using github as cloud storage for personal files
upper sandal
though technically they are repositories
so you can just do a private repo
(you can clone, commit, push a gist with git like any other repo)
sand lotus
didn't know private repo's were an option, not like i have a use for it. maybe if for teams of proprietary stuff but then using github makes little sense instead of a private svn program.
upper sandal
oh yeah I have a few private repos, stuff that I could make public but don't want currently
strong acorn
Github gets severe reputational harm if they breach the private repo promise
no different than other cloud services that handle private data
sand lotus
maybe stuff you're working on but not quite ready to go live and make publicly available yet.
true, it's free i'm not going to complain
strong acorn

I think it makes a lot of sense for smaller companies in particular to use the github infrastructure, even with a paying tier rather than have something hosted on their own with all the management and security work that implies

On that note, what is CTRL SHIFT Z really supposed to do in the first place? ๐คฃ

then again ctrl-c is usually copy but in repl and linux it's "you immediately remember ctrl+c is not copy"

I think Mu uses ctrl-shift-C

could you use embedded unicode for returns instead of \n's?

if you click "edit" on a gist, there's "Add File" at the bottom (and you can drag and drop)

interesting idea. I hadn't considered comments, but that is definitely worth looking into since it's more of an "append" type thing where we wouldn't need to send back the existing content each time.

Ooh, another thing I hadn't considered. That would be cool though then you could get some kind of push notification or something going if you wanted. Or run some related task

@upper sandal I think my node environment is wonky and it's why the install didn't work for me.

So the algorithm spirally looks at cells surrounding the starting location, marking the cell as being adjacent to a cell that is ultimately adjacent to the start cell?
Is the final path optimized to be the shortest path?
sand lotus
first thing that comes to mind is pcb auto-routing algorithm for a 1 layer pcb. so, something like this does have real world applications.
3d dimensions makes things more complicated but a lot more fun. UPS has amazingly efficient algorithms
There already exists a protocol for network routing called BGP ๐
based on time, distance, TTL, etc.
and I'm talking about professional WAN's and ISP's not like home setups to the ISP.
Those algorithms are built into BGP edge routers, specialized devices and protocol.

one of those WoW macro mice? always kinda wanted one but thought it was just so many buttons i'd end up continually clicking the wrong thing. 3 buttons on the side is enough for me.

I rarely do, I mostly use 6, 3 for media control (play/pause and volume) and 3 for Apple Exposรฉ (show desktop, show all windows, show app windows)
it's window management, like alt-tab
sand lotus
i have media keys like play pause volume +- on the keyboard, headset has volume/mute. putting that on a mouse would be overkill for me. brings up a good point that most of my time is spent with only 1 hand on the keyboard and 1 hand on the mouse which does seem inefficient for browsing or gaming. for coding, seems like overkill.
i do like the impression in there, yeah looks like that might be more comfortable, i'd also be interested in at least touching one to see how it feels.
upper sandal
yeah on my keyboard the (default) media keys are on the right side, so right hand, therefore having them on the mouse makes sense

inner spade
Add some macro or joystick knee levers to the foot pedals (like a pedal steel guitar).
sand lotus
eventually built my own keyboard with a built in sequencer/macropad. so many cool projects to do.
yes tr-cowbell v 1.3 will have a joystick instead of 5 navigation buttons. seems like a more efficient use of GPIO.
might actually get rid of the rotary encoder for the joystick too
because the rotary encoders are actually kind of expensive
unlike a potentiometer which are like pennies, joysticks aren't much more, but encoders are twice as expensive. the rotary encoder was actually one of the most expensive core components on the board, more than the chips.
like, almost as expensive as the pcb itself after doing the cost analysis per board.
because the little joysticks are so cheap can almost add 1 per step switch for about the same as 1 encoder cost, add a ton more functionality for cheaper.

@open girder Hi Limor and Phil, official congratulations from me on BabyAda. Just watching "Desk" right now, and realize maybe it's official. I've wanted to reach out and ask, but it's your business, so I didn't. You have been in my thoughts over the past few weeks a number of times, and I'm happy to hear and see you back, and healthy. ๐ ๐ ๐

Selected key should blink 75% if on, 25% if off.
If it stops flickering in the wrong state...

I like the chords
can you play a different voice for each note?
yes
that is what I mean
got it
That makes sense.
And finally, play back all the tracks.
Just curious. Not a request.
I believe there is a way to do that.
Thanks

Thanks for the stream!

in the TR-Cowbell repo the circuit diagram is a link to the EasyEDA page where you can inspect the schematic, board layout, 3d model, etc.. or use it to fork and make your own.
oh whew he found it, ok i'll make a link to the schematic more obvious

Print in place is magic... I remember when it was just like, slugs and snakes -- super simple things
One of my favorite things about the wood is you can sand it like regular wood

begs the question just how many keyboards are out there with help buttons?

Everything is pixel art if you classify hard enough

That's so wild. The Basic example is a nested loop I'm currently in CircuitPython on the 5x5 BFF

Until the Windows era, it was all kinda like that
