yup it's where the padding is
mine uses the bitmap_label fix
I tested the label PR it looks good to me
(i'm on my phone and playing with my cat)
yeah it's not in real use, stored in a box, so I leave the protection 😉
I also did not test the TTB direction
padding related to text seemed to be the intention of the bitmap label code, but maybe I got that wrong, the label code being wrong made it hard to know what the intention was
because the position is not affected by padding, I considered it better to follow the text (think rotating a label shouldn't change its look by switching padding around)
if you just activate it in the edit menu, it wouldn't change the other keyboard shortcuts
yeah scale is 2 or 3 at the top top
so that the grid scales with it
you can do scale 2, if you have a good eyesight 😉
TTB is label only and UPD (upside down) is bitmap_label only. They could both be ported to each other though
you could override the text property and call super() ?
oh that is a little weird
sand lotus
hello present tim, nice haircut, looking good.
sand lotus
🎉 nicely done.
upper sandal
yay
label and bitmap_label override _set_text(), it's part of the subclass API
if _set_text didn't exist, we would have to invent it 😉
inner spade
Bounding box text scroller.
sand lotus
just designed a small LED pcb that's equivalent to 400 LED's per meter. super dense LED count.
yes straight line, new 2020 sizes.
that's about 50 more LED's per meter than Adafruit's most dense strip. they're using a flexible strip but i'm using SMD on a pcb yes.
i need a hard pcb to mount inside the mailbox so making custom pcb strip "sticks"
the 20W speakers are 12V and the neopixels i'm using don't have that plastic sheath around them... and accidentally touched the 12V speaker terminal with one. only half the strip works now. oops.
that's one reason to always get the neopixel strips with the clear or white sheathing.
when you stuff them inside an enclosure they get wiggly and touch everthing, not good if you've also got 12V stuff in there too. :/
to the core we go
since you've reviewed most of the api examples i'll assume you'll be the one reviewing the steam api pr? it's super simple compared to all the others, should go pretty quick.
if you're interested in knocking out a relatively quick pr
upper sandal
yeah now that there's a fix for the ESP32 workflow issue, the PR to add web workflow to circup can be better tested and looked at
I haven't made time for it yet, but maybe this week
sand lotus
sweet!
i might be able to use web workflow now that i think i've figured out my internet disconnecting issues.
wifi was dropping about 20 times a day.
upper sandal
yeah look at version.json, it should be easy to extrapolate from that
sand lotus
because the router kept restarting due to someone hitting the crap out of it trying to brute force their way in. smart me accidentally setup a public facing port to my router login for remote work and forgot to take it down after.
upper sandal
I tested the steam API example, it would be nice to add comments explaining how to get the steam ID and a steam API key
(I googled it, maybe it's the simplest way)
sand lotus
ah yeah i usually put the developer url to the api docs at least. forgot.
yeah the url could change so probably best i don't include it?
upper sandal
also I like to see code use: with requests.get(...) as response: but most examples don't, so I don't know if it's worth it
yeah developer API docs are the kind of things that tend to change for no reason 🙄
sand lotus
i really like the way you shortened the JSON parsing. it's honestly a better way to go. when i eventually update all the API examples with settings.toml i'll see about changing the JSON parsing methods too. really great change Neradoc, appreciate the coding help. 👍
upper sandal
json parsing what ?
sand lotus
First time I submitted the steam api PR, Github completely messed up and was trying to insert really odd changes I didn't make. Probably user error but that was a bit disconcerting.
upper sandal
"a bit disconcerting" is a good, understated, tagline for git
sand lotus
oh i guess it would be a shortened get request response line technically not a JSON parse.
but it ends up being a much slimmer way to do the parsing.
it's better than the default examples everywhere in my opinion and i'll likely be using this new method going forward.
kinda like the first time you learn how to use f-strings. it just makes a little more sense and a better way to go.
oh i was talking about the requests json example neradoc helped write that I used in the Steam API example.
upper sandal
well if you make 2 requests you do them in sequence, not nested
sand lotus
coincidence you're working on json stuff and i'm talking about a different json thing
upper sandal
that's kind of the point, have it auto close the socket
sand lotus
ah, well that sounds like an issue. the socket usually closes with requests from the wifi.radio socket i think. it'll auto close. but a file locally might not.
upper sandal
yeah closing should be automatic
sand lotus
i've never actually parsed a local json file yet. usually work with dicts or lists instead. local JSON is good for logging though.
upper sandal
logging is more a csv thing I would say, json doesn't support "appending" you have to load, modify, write
sand lotus
perhaps that's why i've never done it 🙂
i've done .txt appending, basic stuff.
csv sounds like a better idea for exporting
upper sandal
I have youtube being flaky on my side

smoky island
Maybe -j 8 is "too much" for it sometimes. I'm going to try with varying degrees of things running or not to see if it's somehow tied to just having a lot going on. Really want to get it figured out though because it will make it impossible to stream core work and kind of difficult to even do the work there off stream

@smoky island do you have a way to confirm that the system’s RAM is working?
Tough to test the portion of memory that’s in use.
I’m not a Linux expert (not even slightly). Wondering if there’s a boot-up memory test that runs before memory is allocated.
Might be cheaper (faster) to troubleshoot by swapping physical memory cards.
2K is dual channel?

Sounds like the dual channel would be a nice upgrade.

@cyan dagger to switch cameras easily in OBS use the virtual camera with different scenes.
when you join streamyard choose your camera as the virtual camera
then you can switch back and forth between cameras with 1 click by selecting different scenes.
this way you don't have to ask the host (adafruit) to switch your available cameras for you in streamyard. you do that yourself at any time you like using OBS. 😉

what the code has is concatenating strings with string DEFINES

there's some bytes for the bootloader, 1.5MB for CP, 1.5MB for the OTA partition, the remainder for CIRCUITPY
yeah clean is mostly to get new files/imports and new QSTR
maybe the QSTR step is very intensive in file access
modern night
clean between builds helps reduce hidden and inconsistent errors though--if stuff suddenly starts behaving oddly in a way that doesn't seem right, or differently than it was just behaving, make clean is a good step for a sanity check
not to say use clean all the time, just when things get wonky I try to remember to clean

good evening ☕
i was up all night dreaming of a way to create a 10" subwoofer mailbox
cpython(literal(str)) shouldn't it be that easy?
that was a joke, i just woke up, i have no idea
i have a feeling in the future "have you asked chatgpt" will be the equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again"
"it only knows a bunch of words commonly used together with little comprehension" yes you could say a child is like that. they're just parrots when they start off.
sand lotus
that sounds about right

that was: circuitpython/py/obj.h
I think you still need to convert to tho mp object and then:
const char *path = mp_obj_str_get_str(path_o);
modern night
pointer magic is an ethereal and confusing space
brazen chasm
sand lotus
technically a constant char would be a const. can't a const be a string or int?
hmm well if it's a char yeah i would assume a string
modern night
I think it's a char, and const is a limiter on how memory for that char is managed
sand lotus
print before and after? i see you do that a lot to narrow down where something is failing.

You can make all warnings being treated as such using -Wno-error. You can make specific warnings being treated as such by using
-Wno-error=<warning name>where <warning name> is the name of the warning you don't want treated as an error.

That might be what you need?
sand lotus
unused var is generally a bad thing. sometimes it might get set and someday it might not. feeding it a const does usually take care of that but it's bloat yeah.
ohhh the goal is to do it with unused vars... good luck.
you wouldn't want to insert a random / if you're specifically dealing with paths, that's a receipe for bad juju

"keep allocation when vm not running" sounds very generic

anything allocation related is ram yeah
one of the very first circuit python errors i ever got was "malloc" something something. coming from arduino i was like what the heck is malloc. error messages have also gotten better over the years but there are still some really vague ones out there too.
if this has to do with web workflow specifically would it need something like ../ or ./ for relative or absolute pathing?

maybe a get or post param

Actually yes, f_stat:
FILINFO fno;
res = f_stat(fs, path_old, &fno);
if (res != FR_OK) {
return res;
}
const response = await fetch(new URL("/fs" + current_path, url_base),
{
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json"
},
credentials: "include"
}
);
you can read the javascript 😉
strong acorn
the Developer Tools isn't showing the headers
sand lotus
it detects the mime types of the files? that's nifty.
upper sandal
you were just on it, search for "request->json"
sand lotus
i imagine if it ends in / it would detect it as a directory?
there has to be a recursion algorithm in there someone then.
upper sandal
recursion for ?
upper sandal
there's logic where if you give a directory with application/json it replies with the list of its content
sand lotus
oh that's neat. i still have yet to use web workflow 😦
upper sandal
the _reply_directory_json() function does that
sand lotus
or circup, yes i'm bad at this i know
wheat terrace
I think you could get the total with something like this:
FILINFO fno;
res = f_stat(fs, path_old, &fno);
if (res != FR_OK) {
return res;

I've never understood the use for fakerequests. Any idea?
Fake sockets, fake requests, just for testing?
when i first started with simple requests people were like "just use portalbase or pyportal library". After looking at it I realized some people's definitions of a simple test greatly differs from my idea of simple.
the api examples i made for the requests library is more of what i was expecting as a first timer. no overarching dependencies just 1 script, 1 little library, and a json parser. portalbase is probably far more powerful but also way too intimidating for a beginner.
interesting perspective, didn't' think of that

wasn't merged

One of the most underrated feature is the 5V out for Neopixels at full power. You don't get that with most feathers.
The 5V makes the neopixels a little brighter.

And hopefully, Seesaw will be worked on once again. AND you can stick Klipper on it to have an aux switches and LEDs board.

Q; What was the insulating tape called? I couldn't quite get the name.

The battery BFF is almost mandatory for all QT Py's in my opinion for wearables. They're awesome.

Kapton Tape
it's a yellow-ish, heat resistant tape that's used quite a bit with soldering

We either die in simulation or in real life, and there’s no way to ever know which it is
My favorite video on the topic 🙂

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.”

I tend to agree with the feeling Tyson has, it makes me feel more comfortable that there’s a 50:50 shot of being the real thing or a simulation.

Checkout adding LVGL to arduino, you can mashup wippersnapper and lvgl. Adafruit lvgl glue library combined with Squareline Studio for lvgl interface design

think I might make a simple example of potentiometer via wippersnapper on wokwi, to show the two way live simulation+mqtt, and then add a simple display element on top. Next week at earliest
