as i've learned with step switches having a larger annular ring is very helpful with soldering. a small ring is harder to work with especially if it's connected directly to a huge ground plane. :/

Got my coffee, good morning. ☕
Could span them across multiple monitors?
Having multiple monitors with a gap makes no sense.
well if you only have windows on each monitor i guess that will work well.
but for spannnig not really
yeah that's true, i find myself using them for multiple windows. i used to span them for games but since i don't play games anymore spanning really isn't used much other than file compare... coincidentally enough.
ah i also use span for youtube video production
and sometimes OBS
exactly, i use the 2nd monitor for the preview now
but some audio or video programs require you to run everything in 1 program window so you have to span it
audio editing spanned is really nice too. ableton on 2 monitors is really nice. i had 3 monitors. 2 is nice, 3 better. 🙂
inner spade
Audio DAWs, too. I went vertical and placed the slider console monitor above the track editing view.
sand lotus
that's another way to do it. i've noticed vertical setups are becoming more popular with monitor over monitor.
i'm just not a fan of the neck strain
That would be nice. However, they haven't had an in stock plugin tft featherwing for what seems like a year now.
I really loved the large TFT featherwing too. I can use it with any feather I want. The modularity seemed the better way to go instead of the pyportal.
wind spoke
You may want to add DISPLAY to this board: https://circuitpython.org/board/lolin_s2_pico/
There is a trick however... it is I2C and no board in CP has support.
sand lotus
That one is a built in display, it should have a DISPLAY support.
wind spoke
I mean build in screen are "always" SPI.
"128 x 32 SSD1306 OLED display internally connected to the same I2C bus as the external port, reset pin connected to GPIO18, I2C address 0x3C (not supported in CircuitPython firmware, require user code initialisation)"
sand lotus
as they should be, except in the rare case of parallel
M5 stacks are very popular and extremely modular. I've had my eye on them for a while, haven't gotten one yet.
I'm swimming in boards as it is already.
wind spoke
So that LOLIN board has no build-in support. It works, you just have to configure it in your Python code.
Pick an EYESPI screen, and a board you want to add that too. And try to create a new board with both.
sand lotus
I'm not sure if Adafruit's ever made something with built in I2C. It wouldn't make sense when SPI is available.
wind spoke
I'm not sure if Adafruit's ever made something with built in I2C. It wouldn't m...
Yeah, I gave up because I could not copycat from some other board...
LOLIN has their own shop on Ali.
MacroPad: 128x64 SH1106 Monochrome OLED display - On high speed hardware SPI port for quick updates
sand lotus
Agreed, Aliexpress has a lot of downsides. Usually only go with something there if I'm desperate and can't get it in the US.
The marketplace is eh.. questionable sometimes. Helps to be experienced in electronics so you can better navigate around the junk.
wind spoke
I wonder if China is closer to EU than closer to USA???
I mean from a shipping point of view.
sand lotus
Takes approximately 28-31 days to arrive in Florida.
on avg
i think 8.0.5 beta?
i stopped at 8.0.4 beta before diving in 3d printing stuff.
and i'm finally after 3 months getting back into coding some CP again.
the 3D printing rabbit hole is deep
wind spoke
Are you talking about this Featherwing: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-oled-featherwing ???
Then I can follow you... I have one here.
sand lotus
I have this one https://www.adafruit.com/product/3651
the ILI 2.8" is the parallel one
the 3.5" is SPI
It should theoretically be possible to enable parallel on the 3.5" but I didn't want to risk the mod.
because they've been out of stock for like a year, if i smoke it there's no replacing it.
wind spoke
PyPortal seems parallel:
sand lotus
pylint inception.
yup, pyportal is parallel but not modular like the tft featherwings. modularity has its perks.
the tft featherwings were $5 more than the pyportal, expensive just for the screen. pyportal a much better value but not upgradable or modular.
no learn guide for the iMX yet, no pretty pins yet.
wind spoke
no learn guide for the iMX yet, no pretty pins yet.
You are on the edge...
sand lotus
yes 🙂
it's got SPDIF audio
i'm looking for mp3 analog audio stuff, don't think it'll do it out of the box.
SPDIF to analog converter a thing?
it's a proprietary digital audio format created by sony/phillips.
most TV's and audio equipment have them now for digital audio. basically like I2S but at waaay higher sample rate capability above CD quality.
can't make an I2S to SPDIF translater for CP because of the proprietary format with licensing fees.
Found an old video the first time Lady Ada debuted the iMX 2 years ago. It's been a long time coming. Really excited.
Yeah I think it was one of the M7's, at least in the same family.
Teensy 4.1 uses the iMXRT1062 chip.
It's the 600mhz beast. Now I see why everyone was all over the Teensy's. I never got one. Had no idea.

Could have a 'direction'
and only check left, right, and forward
yeah
I remember when you could watch the progress of fill in MS Paint
I'm old
wind spoke
I am pretty sure I learned that at university... 30 years ago. 🙂
noble grove
I finished high-school 40 years ago
wind spoke
Lines because it add "right" first?
noble grove
That looks very similar to the way MS Paint did it.
wind spoke
One optimisation is to draw a line rather than individual pixel.
You don't put back in the list if it is already the right colour... because you painted it. So it is just a test.
noble grove
Just because it's the right colour doesn't mean you are the one that made it that colour.
wind spoke
no but you should not paint beyond a barrier of the same colour (I believe)
noble grove
Besides, you'd have to check it to know what colour it is.
wind spoke
So you only paint what was in the initial colour of the first pixel you were given...
noble grove
You fill up to any colour that isn't the same as the original colour
wind spoke
So before adding anything to the "queue" of position to paint from, you check first if it is that initial colour.
noble grove
Kind of the definition. You are checking to see whether it IS the initial colour which means you change it. If it is any other colour (including the new colour) then you don't change it.

Warning: Compiling CP can crash your computer.
smoky island
perhaps OBS streaming + approx. 1 million browser tabs and windows + Discord + YT playing music was a bit too much for it to do during the builds. I did end up getting successful builds for poth espressif and atmel ports now without anything else running.

MMMMMMM
slow spire
Yayyyy!
foggy python
@open girder What would the M7 be used for? is it like a new Arduino?
slow spire
@foggy python It's in Arduino form factor, and supports CircuitPython out of the box. @open girder Does the M7 support Arduino, yet?
sand lotus
Arduino just launched their new Giga too but that's like $70 and the Metro M7 more like a slimmed down Giga for $30.
foggy python
@sand lotus would the M7 work nicely for either of the NFC readers labled as PN532?
sand lotus
I don't see why not. As long as you have UART for the FTDI stuff. Lady Ada would be a better person to answer that one. They'll answer your questions at the end of the live stream. 😉
It's been a while since I've actually used FTDI.
Actually that's a good question to ask.
Question: Can you still use FTDI stuff with all of the newer M4, M7, ESP32's, and NRF adafruit boards?
cinder wind
love all the work with pio USB Host on RP2040, thanks @open girder!
slow spire
@foggy python It should work with this Adafruit PN532 breakout board, but I haven't tried it, of course. https://www.adafruit.com/product/364
sand lotus
If I remember correctly the PN532 NFC reader will do I2C or SPI which is a much better way to go... in which case pretty much any microcontroller will work with it.
I2C and SPI are very common protocols today
foggy python
Awesome ya I have been sticking around to hopefully get help understanding all that stuff. I saw on one of the PN532 boards it mentioned a FTDI friend but one didnt, so I am a little confused.
@slow spire Do you know the difference between the board you listed and

late but here. Bought the m7 thingy
slow spire
Yeah, @foggy python – that's the shield form factor, and since the product guide mentions using it with an M0 Metro, it should work with the new M7.

Yay, I've very glad to hear that and also completely understand the pacing. I'm just excited to see it and hear it more. Thank you!
foggy python
I have a M7 in my cart but I am still a little lost on the difference between both. I get one sits on top of the M7 board itself vs connecting through a bread board. But is there any difference in capability or use case? I am new to this and am trying to wrap my head around it all. I plan on using NTAG 213.

so excited for the iMX, no idea what i'm going to do with it yet but i'll figure something out. 🙂
slow spire
@foggy python I think that they are pretty identical, functionally. I might choose the breakout, for more flexibility in where I put components. I might choose the shield if I am going to dedicate this board to plugging into an Arduino UNO board like the M7. But the breakout will work more easily with more boards.
Thanks, @open girder Family!
@foggy python I'd read through some of the PN532 project guides in the Adafruit Learning System, for ideas on what you can build, and for inspiration:
https://learn.adafruit.com/products/364/guides
foggy python
@slow spire gotcha so it sounds like the shield version is the option I should choose. Are there any other additional components / chips I should of would need to write to NFC tags with the M7 and shield?
ya I read those. I was surprised that there were not more recent guides
slow spire
@foggy python I'd check out the main guide for the shield or breakout to make sure you buy compatible NFC/RFID/MiFare/etc tags. The PN532 works with a lot of tags, but not every tag.
@foggy python What's your experience level with projects like this?
The reason I ask is that there is some soldering for both PN532 boards.
foggy python
none except one college project where I programmed an arduino on tinkercad but this was years ago and dont remember much.
slow spire
Cool!
Well, you're going to have fun with this project. It's kind of magic to read NFC/RFID.
foggy python
I do have a soldering station
slow spire
Sweet!
@foggy python This is an excellent refresher on soldering that I watch every so often.
https://learn.adafruit.com/collins-lab-soldering
@foggy python I believe the M7 comes with headers already soldered on. On the PN532 shield, you'll need to solder on headers (a 36-pin strip of male header is included with the shield).
@foggy python When I am planning a new project, I make a little checklist of things I'll need, and steps I'll take, along with links to the stuff I'm reading in preparation.
I try to keep my first build as simple as possible – can I build it in a day or a weekend? – otherwise, if it's more complicated than that, I'll never finish my first build. 😄
foggy python
Hard part is that I am so new to this space that that I am not sure what is needed or recommended. I thought this project would be simple.
slow spire
I'm a maker like you; I'm not an Adafruit employee. But people like me are here day and night, so don't be shy about asking a question here, no matter how simple. This is a very friendly, helpful community.
lilac tusk
your most memorable mistake as a maker is that first "simple" project that turned into a black hole. it's where you learn the most 🙂
I remember my first time trying to design an electronics project
slow spire
@foggy python A good spot to post your progress and questions as you get started would be #help-with-projects .
We're all rooting for ya!
@foggy python What are you making with the PN532? Can you tell us about what your goal is with the project?
foggy python
@slow spire I plan on making a custom jewelry piece with an open back that would hold an NTAG 213 NFC chip encased in resin that would hold a website URL.
slow spire
Nice!
foggy python
It will look amazing when it is done, it will be a gift for my SO. I will make sure to post pictures when it is done.
slow spire
@foggy python There are some pre-made rings in the store in various sizes:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2802
@foggy python That might help you get started quickly.
@foggy python And you may have already seen this, but there is a ring project learn guide you might adapt.
https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printed-rfid-nfc-rings
It's also possible to program NFC tags using some iPhones and/or Android phones. But the PN532 boards are more fun, and can be used in projects to do more cool things, and gain a more complete understanding of RFID/NFC.
The Ruiz Brothers used this tiny tag for that project:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2800

Ya I saw those. I am just trying to make sure I buy the correct parts so I can get the NFC board working properly.
