I'd rather have a print statement that says "Button does not exist for this device"
I always encounter "Bus in use" errors which are actually very helpful to let me know I'm doing something wrong.
inner spade
Include a list of available buttons in the error message — or the way to find them.
sand lotus
That's a good idea too. Let it trigger something like a dir(board) automatically.
That might actually be helpful for CP to do that if you name a pin wrong. Like if you try to use D10 on a Pico with GP10 naming scheme.
Yes that's what I meant. I think that would be helpful to add to CP core to have it print out dir(board) if it detects that module attribute error.
like a helper because a beginner isn't going to know what the heck that error means.
though i also understand the capacity crunch the developers are constantly under, like Atlas trying to lift the world with no overhead.
yeah lol developers are like ohh a new bigger board and more RAM. let's add more frozen modules.... aaaaaaand it's all gone.
how will you deal with joysticks x,y coordinates. some game controllers have multiple joysticks too. joy_x1, joy_y1?
I mean naming them because i didn't see a naming convention in the dict for joysticks

The use of super() may be slightly different than CPython - last I remember the use of self with it when working with CPY builtins, I think I ran into something when multi-subclassing

I’ve converted joystick positions into up/down/left/right button values.
Ran into some limitations subbing list. Not all dunders were available. Don’t know if dict has the same issue.

current progress on the tr-cowbell enclosure. will have a flat faceplate to mount stuff.
2"x6", thinking that might not be big enough if someone wants to put on a larger display.
inner spade
Could the collar flare out and project over the rear of the enclosure?
To accommodate a large display?
sand lotus
off the backend perhaps, could also make it taller with a steeper angle to increase the size.
FoamyGuy what's the largest size display you might want to put on there?
The TFT featherwing is 2.5"x3", that's the biggest one I have, so maybe I'll try for 3"
i should have thought about this before i started printing parts lol
Titano seems to be about the same size as the TFT featherwing. I think that's about as large as anyone would normally use. These files are going to be shared on github eventually so want to make something that someone can just print without needing modification.
The seesaw uses I2C address 0x49
other devices uses 0x49 https://learn.adafruit.com/i2c-addresses/the-list#0x49-3119931
There's only 1 device that's hard coded with 0x49 a light sensor, all others have changeable addressing.
inner spade
2"x6", thinking that might not be big enough if someone wants to put on a larger...

Was looking for the maximum size/resolution display for a narrow rack module. Was a balancing act of available PCB real estate and design proportions. And of course I only wanted a circle to show, so the orientation and margins were tricky.
sand lotus
they make round i2c displays now
i don't think they come in many different sizes though
inner spade
Yeah, but didn’t want to mess with writing drivers. Finally settled on the 1.54-inch; very close to a square.

good display, has sd card and eyespi unless you're talking about using the barebones display
sand lotus
well that's getting really fancy
looks fantastic. i don't know anything about eurorack stuff.
Adafruit just updated their .96" display, low cost spi display

Eurorack is pretty handy ‘cause of the built-in power supplies and standard formats/interconnects. Can get pretty spendy, so I prefer to make my own modules.

wind spoke
is there z shapped pins, like 2 right angles to add or remove one row of width ?
Z shapped pin... not sure, and to manually do it it will take a lot of patience. Need to check what pin from the AirLift itsy bitsy are in use, and if they match something usefull on the Pico(W).

i love that chip for the I2S breakout module. it's a great one. anytime i do audio i reach for one of those adafruit breakouts first.
teal river
What is I2S anyway?
sand lotus
serial audio. i think of it as "I2C for Sound" so I2S.
teal river
ahh
sand lotus
the protocol was specifically designed for sound
i've played with different audio out methods in circuit python. pwmout does work but it's glitchy. I2S is really the only way to get reliably quality sound.
having I2C built into the I2S chip means digital volume control, mute, etc.. not all I2S chips come with that so they're extra features that are nice to have.
5 band EQ ohhhh. that'll make audio react FFT projects possible. Ummm heck yes. 👍

oh on a related note somebody wanted to scroll text on the matrix, so I hacked a FrameBuffer for it yesterday (not pixelbuf)

I don't know if there was another solution
sand lotus
I think the LED glasses were designed to use the NRF52840 driver board. Maybe there was something specific at that time that needed it?
upper sandal
the glasses class uses the C module that is only available on the driver board
sand lotus
does it have current sensing in milliamps perhaps?
i could see needing to keep an eye on the current draw as a helpful thing for a face full of electronics project.
upper sandal
sand lotus
yes i linked to the driver board product above
sand lotus
i imagine you should be able to use it with other MCU's but again originally i think it was designed to be used with that specific driver board when it was initially released.
upper sandal
that's the module I linked in the support matrix above
sand lotus
i got 2 of them during one of JP's pick of the week. cheaper way to score an NRF52840 for BLE projects. didn't get the glasses only the driver board for it. figured i could use it for something else someday.
upper sandal
I don't know what it does, that library is mysterious 🤷
dunno if you saw, but yesterday somebody wanted to scroll text on the matrix, so I hacked a FrameBuffer for it (quite slow)

looked up IS31FL3741 on digikey, it's just a PWM LED driver chip.
upper sandal
yep, with many pins
sand lotus
looks like it's used with most charlieplexed projects, basically a charlieplex driver.
upper sandal
IS31FL3741 and IS31FL3731 are used by Adafruit
too many different APIs, let's invent a new standard !
sand lotus
that meme is true though
upper sandal
yes
RAINBOW is a list of tuples
but it shouldn't use rainbow
t[0]<<16 + t[1]<<8 + t[2]
for hex to tuple I do:
t = tuple((color).to_bytes(3, "big"))
converts an int into 3 bytes
and the opposite is, but it assumes ints
color = int.from_bytes(bytes(t), "big")
Why is something looking for a literal string ‘circuit python’ seems odd.
strong acorn
there's a displayio text scroller for the LED glasses that relies on the built-in module. The built-in module seems to be only shared-module, no nrf-port-specific code, so presumably it could be enabled for other ports with enough space to allow displayio on the single 13x9.
upper sandal
that sets each LED individually
it sets a red LED or a blue LED, etc.
in my framebuffer implementation I do convert pixel position to LED, with a mapping:
https://gist.github.com/Neradoc/70764175a20d6c274833ea0cccf26fcb#file-is31matrixqt_framebuf-py
Adafruit_RGBMatrixQT.pixel_addrs(x,y) gives you the individual LED numbers of pixel (x,y)
strong acorn
I'm not sure what the missing link is for full-on displayio, I'm not familiar with all the matrix and framebuffer code
upper sandal
yeah it's a mess, I think we need to look at all those APIs
wind spoke
Hi, I missed the beginning, but I have contributed to that library a little bit... (I believe).
Maybe to add support for Pimoroni board.
Maybe also for the LED SHIM from Pimoroni... and I was ask to make a buffer something.
And I did not knew how to. It is a 28 RGB LED strip.
I wanted to run the LED animation on it, but it needed something I did not knew how to make.
Also, maybe there was the suggestion to split the library into one per hardware/card... or at least on python file per board so that you don't waste memory by loading everything.
So what hardware do you have at hands? The multi-color 13x9, the LED Glass, ... what else?
upper sandal
hey I made comet run
though the color order is wrong
the colors are weird though
I just copied the code
wasn't it the issue where we need RTD to update the module to use the new settings ?
because it was created before a certain date
IS31FL3741_PixelBuf's _transmit calls is31.write()
that's just the internal API of IS31FL3741_PixelBuf
so it expects an object (the builtin one) with a write() function that does the real display of the thigns
(it's the PixelBuf API, the real sending of data to the neopixel/dotstars is done in _transmit that gets passed a buffer)
sand lotus
All over my head.
wind spoke
One thing, is that the LED SHIM is linear...
upper sandal
so: animations call show(), which calls _transmit(), which in IS31FL3741_PixelBuf calls write() on the passed IS31FL3741 object
wind spoke
Matrix are 2D.
And LED annimation are all linear (is it?).
WLED has a 1D and 2D animation... maybe that could be inspiration for LED animation?
upper sandal
yeah we should be able to do it at a lower level

Will miss the meeting. But working on some notes.

Thanks, complicated stuff. Good stuff.
upper sandal
@smoky island for later, I got it to work by adding write() to the root IS31FL3741 class without using a temp_buffer, instead of the RGBMatrixQT subclass (which is only used to create the LED mapping).
That being said it then works with an RGBMatrixQT too, since it's a subclass, and I don't think it's notably different.

Going to use 1 to fill my dragon mask with tons of neopixels for this halloween. wasn't bright enough last year, work in progress.

Oh, yeah, I wanted to make a logic analyzer!
cinder wind
yeah that's the most frustrating thing: some neopixels work great when powered at 5.0V and signaled at 3.3V. But will not work at 5.25V and signaled at 3.3V. So could be a project works with a long USB cable (which drops the voltage down to ~5V) but does not work with a short USB cable (gives the 5.25V from the USB power supply)
sand lotus
Scott showed some interest in maybe using it for a logic analyzer. Looking forward to seeing what he does. I think cgrover might be interested in it too.
timid plover
I've been thinking that the PIO might be able to gather ( and maybe compress ) data quite quickly - not sure if anyone has done that yet (for logic analysis )

Yes, been waiting for the price of a commercial logic analyzer to hit my budget sweet spot. This could be a useful alternative.
teal river
Oh, hey… how do you connect power for the NeoPixels, since the tail just had signal and ground?
sand lotus
kinda looks like Lars is being captured by a UFO too
cinder wind
I don't think the CircuitPython NeoPxl8 library has dithering and gamma-correction yet, so if you notice a difference in behavior when going between Arduino & CircuitPython, that's why
sand lotus
Who was playing with dithering? Gamblor for his xmas strip matrix i think. Maybe he was using DMA or PIO?
cinder wind
yeah would need to use DMA, not sure how that's possible w/ PIO in CircuitPython. But it's how it's done in Arduino

sand lotus
Those do take some juice but they're really not much brighter than a bunch of neopixels.

The 4W ones can light up a room!

Hmm maybe I was using it wrong? I was powering it on 3v3.. are you supposed to run those at 5v?

I didn't find your snap fit guide until after I'd already started... and I was like ahhhhh. I have to redesign the snap fit completely over, yet again, again, for the 4th time... which is why those parameters exist so you don't have to do it manually over and over. Next design will be user parameters for sure.
love the arm switch for a rocket lamp, brilliant idea. is it a real arm switch?
