The updated IEEE 802.3at PoE standard also named PoE+, which is backward-compatible with standard PoE. The supply voltage of PoE+ ranges from 50V to 57V, and the supply current can be 10-600mA. It provides up to 30W of power on each port of a PSE. Due to power loss, the minimum output power assured on each port is 25W. This type can support devices that require more power like LCD displays, biometric sensors and tablets.

One of the the more experienced devs would be better to chime in on the Globals thing ...
modern night
Are globals common in circuitpython? In regular python development, global usage...
Kind of. Is most CircuitPython code the bit you write is usually only run on that board, and messy global soup is a lot hard to generate because the scope is bound by what's on a micro. So the reasons you need to avoid globals in general python isn't a situation you come across often in such a bounded project

Thanks! I'm guessing it also makes the code run faster on the micro because you don't have to pass values around..?
full rose
accessing globals are faster in C in a micorcontroller, definitely
rose juniper
Yeah, because there's no MOVing around
modern night
Yes, in the same "sort of, it depends" way. That's the fun part of working with lots of constraints--a lot just *depends*
rose juniper
For some reason, I assumed the micros that work with circuitpython would be a lot closer to a PC/raspi than an arduino :)

umm sir that's a dwarf banana tree
didn't the original pybadge play a badger badger animation?
a blinka blinka animation in the same style sounds appropriate
though, might be hard to pull off since snakes don't have arms. would just be a springy springy blinka blinka
I don't know how to use AI. Maybe Jepler can get AI to make a badger badger animation just by asking AI to do it.
I've seen some pretty amazing AI art recently.
i could whip up some photoshop where the badger is holding a game controller

It's star wars. The font is supposed to be legible but I've seen in a recent video there are a lot of bad translations even in star wars... which is quite realistic if you think about how many times you've read instructions in broken english.
Well, not legible really but somewhat translatable based on futuristic English characters.

ah aurebesh, didn't know that was a thing, very cool.
it's like learning Klingon but for Star Wars
we know have black screen oooh
not a bug, a feature
upper sandal
you are capturing a Pi with a hdmi input?
sand lotus
How would you feed an external monitor capture into OBS on a PC? OK I'm mystified. Capture card of some kind.
upper sandal
my friends call the USB-HDMI dongle the nintendongle because they capture their switch with it 😛
sand lotus
Ah ok
upper sandal
yeah they are all over the place now
sand lotus
sounds easy enough. good directions.
upper sandal
Adafruit has a USB-C version too
sand lotus
USB-A is regular, USB-B is the square printer port style i think.
upper sandal
yeah the standard boxy plug would be USB A, then micro B is the commonly used micro
sand lotus
USB-B square cables became a big problem. People would try to plug them into their ethernet port and then call tech support asking why their printer isn't connecting.
upper sandal
and then USB 3 version of B and micro-B are the ones where the plug has like an extension
inner spade
“Doghouse” type B
sand lotus
Yeah that's the reason why there are weird shaped plugs so people can't use the wrong thing.. then it gets widely adopted and voila it doesn't matter anymore everyone is plugging everything into everywhere.
looks at the title of document, "new document" 😦
been there, praying it just comes back to life.
oh i was talking about the unsaved document and sitting waiting on the choice for force quit or wait.
did your screen freeze or something?
sounds like you're working on something in the background but window capture might have frozen?
inner spade
Looks like the OBS desktop feed has frozen.
sand lotus
yeah it's specifically the desktop or monitor capture that's frozen.
name your scenes or capture devices Monitor 1, Monitor 2
you can right click on them and rename
ohh i like the blinka wrapped around the controller that's nice
probably counts pixels of a certain color range, sums them, and creates a table
would make the most sense
that doesn't necessarily mean creating the best images though, some form of aliasing is always helpful.
on such a small display you're not really going to notice the hard pixel cuts.
Then you would use a Monitor Capture instead.
inner spade
Lately I’ve been setting state values to a string instead of a numeric value, like START = “start”. Helps tremendously when print debugging.
sand lotus
If it's Monitor Capture it won't be dynamic, it'll be the same monitor every time.
I've noticed a lot of little issues like that with the new OBS. You're not alone there. The new updates have some nicer features so overall it's worth the new version.
Which is free, so I don't have any room to complain about it regardless. So is VLC and many other great programs.
You're right, I just launched OBS and my primary monitor isn't selected for Monitor 1 it's blank.
So it's definitely removing that setting randomly.
upper sandal
oh OBS shows me the name of the monitors (which I guess would be the same if the same model) but also it seems the position which helps identify which is which
so the monitor on the right is at 1920,0
sand lotus
Yes but Tim says he has identical monitors, yeah that would be confusing.
I don't have identical monitors so it's easy to choose from. Lucky accident I guess.
upper sandal
and if I turn on my top-left monitor is shown at -1920,1080 (it' should be -both but ok)
sand lotus
makes sense
Going full state machine for a splash screen. Love it. 🙂
I think you did a menu system for the octopus game or the space invaders, one of those.
can you snag any of that code because the menu system for ship upgrades i think was pretty nice.
for lack of a better term, cut the length of the tail so give yourself more time/score
which could create a permanent obstacle if you excrete an object.
upgrade would be pacman like where you could go through the screen edge
upper sandal
there are online multiplayer snake games with stuff like that, turning the tail into a dotted is a thing I think
sand lotus
what was that popular js snake game, orario or something like that
upper sandal
could be like some dungeon crawlers, you buy augments that add to a list of bonus that can spawn randomly
(with a limited duration)
sand lotus
i like the idea of a multiplayer space invaders but a multiplayer traditional snake game i don't see how that would work. maybe on a bigger screen. it would be brutal on a small screen.
upper sandal
curvefever.io is the one I played

using root_group should make it future compatible... hopefully.

looks like user1 is the i2c address of 0x3a
user1 instead of I2C_ADDR or something similar hurts my brain
some air sensors have a heater circuit inside, your mass airflow sensor for your car for example...
generally would be 5v too
it helps to measure bias between ambient temp and the device temp to calculate airflow... that's airflow though.
modern night
was 3a one of the hex values being written?
sand lotus
i didn't see 3a anywhere in the datasheet he was looking at either
though it gave User 1 some context reading that
modern night
Oh hey--Under register description section 6.1 it shows the binary for 3a: 0011_1010
sand lotus
Get a Pi they said, it'll be fun they said.
clever summit
Reading zero indicates a wiring problem.
modern night
value may never be written to, it might try to run i2c, run into an error that is not OSError, and then broke out via the else: break
sand lotus
looks correct to me, and the sensor LED is on so it's at least getting power
if in doubt swap scl and sda
that's a good idea, grab a feather or something
that way you can test to see if the wiring is good at least
modern night
yeah to hear the correct i2c address back is a good sign.
Yeah usually ground first, power last
clever summit
Yep, should be 3.3V for Vcc.

What's an example of how it can go south?
sand lotus
i prefer knowing raw sql specifically because if something goes south you can fix it manually if necessary. same if you need to port your db to some other system.
tabular is just an abstraction layer for the db then, a really REALLY nice one
eventually everything is just going to be an abstraction on abstraction for infinity... which is kind of true unless you're programming in machine language.
youtube just dropped me down to 360p woah
just on my end i guess

What's an example of how it can go south?
when you have a complex mapping of joined tables and need to query the parent based on these complex relationships (e.g. a really lousy "dynamic" design that doesn't really map to either "real" objects or RDBMS tables) for one
modern night
Huh, good to know. Thank you!
I have a home server for my CircuitPython environmental sensing nodes/weather stations written in flask which is just endpoints that you aim json files at, and it stores everything as json. As a result I've wanted to find a better database (or just an actual database) to store it, and this is helpful!
sand lotus
absolutely, if you don't sanitize everything it's a mine field.
weary yacht
Huh, good to know. Thank you!
I have a home server for my CircuitPython environm...
there are several "document" style databases that run quite well and almost all of them have a REST API, so it's relatively easy to "talk" to - Couchbase is one I've used often
sand lotus
django and mariadb are popular alternatives to MySQL or SQL lite stuff
after seeing this... i'm definitely interested in using instead of SQL projects in the future. possibly.
yup postgre too
weary yacht
if you want to go nuts, MongoDB is the "industry standard" (everyone uses it, nobody likes it)
sand lotus
yup Mongo too, that was the one i was thinking of not django
weary yacht
scratch couchbase - i meant CouchDB
sand lotus
flatfile db's will only get you but so far with a small server. perfectly valid for home use light use. eventually the flat files fill up fast and you end up looking at real DB backends.
weary yacht
and then you have to figure out what flavor and whether or not it's embedded or server (and where said server lives - NAS are usually good targets for Docker images 😈 )
sand lotus

986 pressure? woah
It isn't calibrated...
sand lotus
Awesome project!
modern night
😅 It's a constant offset due to elevation and I've found myself reading the changes way more often than the pressure value. One day I'll make the database take the raw values and report a displayed 'calibrated' value
sand lotus
calibrating for elevation and pressure is definitely a thing
there is a simple equation, i can't remember it off the top of my head.
modern night
You can tell when it's cloudy and windy if you take an air pressure reading and pass it through a high pass filter. The moving air above the sensor makes it wiggle, and from inside a home your air pressure sensor can report if it's a windy day
sand lotus
wiggle sensors, i need to investigate this
guess i'm kind of lucky in that regard living at sea level
modern night
I'm in KC so I am pretty close to sea level as well. Just lazy and haven't gone through a calibration phase across all of my sensors
sand lotus

modern night
So I missed why you're running this on a cron job--(and what you're running via cron)
does the server not constantly run?
sand lotus
the cron is for the temp sensor
modern night
Ah. I've found more success with a pi by running from /etc/rc.local
But if you're more familiar with cron go for that
sand lotus
django doesn't have a way to run a cron job from the dashboard?
err tabular
Thank you for the excellent stream. Come back to it later and you'll knock it out np. Have a great day!
modern night
it might be a path issue, where there's different system paths
It's probably a bad patch, but you can, in your working version import sys, then print the path sys is using. Then at the top of that file add code to import sys, and append the printed out path to it so you know the working path is always added
That was a fantastic stream to watch! Thank you!
sand lotus
Feather capture sounds neat too so you don't have to prop up the feather on the little cushion on camera.
modern night
The workflow:
In the version of the file that's working, run python and see what the path's are that the Python program is looking at for all of it's packages
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
['', '/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', '/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']
In the py file you're running, at the top of it, take that list and do,
import sys
adding_paths = ['', '/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', '/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']
for a_path in adding_paths:
if a_path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(a_path)
# ... Rest of .py file
I think this works, I think it's running on one of my raspberry pi's but I don't know which one or which program so I'm pulling from memory here
And to be fair, they've changed the setup on the pi's so this might just end up being an nonfunctional headache. Regardless, have a good one and thanks for the stream!
smoky island
Decided to take one more crack at it after a walk around and snack. It really prefers to run that management command from the project directory specifically. When run from other directories it can succeed, or at least it thinks it succeeded, but it hasn't actually modified the real DB so it's not very useful despite having "succeeded".
I set up a shell script that causes it to do a few things different including cd into the project dir and now it is successfully generating data 🎉
sand lotus
Good evening.
Camera in sync today. Everything looking normal again.
Heater circuits are very common. They help provide a calculable bias temp vs voltage to get ambient temp.
Ah because its a pi its so much faster on the sensor init.
Yes, the heater circuit is the constant
Its the known value based on voltage, resistance, etc…
You just did ls -s
Something so simple can make the difference between scratching your head for days or hitting the ground running.
upper sandal
you usually want to match the OS ? the pi should be able to tell you if the os is 32 or 64, maybe uname -a ?
wait you're not on a pi
sand lotus
Isn’t x86-64bit some kind of oxymoron?
upper sandal
oh that doesn't help 😅
sand lotus
Looks like pi sets the i2c bus speed via a baudrate. Up to 1 mhz so that limit is probably on the sensor side.

this is one of the designs i was talking about -- although specific for an ItsyB...
Besides the end pins, the EN pin position is the primary difference between the ItsyBitsy M4 and its nRF52840 cousin.

Pi's are so hard to get because they use Micron flash which is very hard to get. You can't even get the flash chip. It's really Micron's fault in my opinion.

Link for the magnets? The ones I'm using are too weak and small. Size?

Love the magnets, but the swallow risk for kids worries me, can you recess them like nuts for bolts and glue the side access recess shut
vagrant flax
those were a good choice of LEDs to use for that, since they already have some diffusion

I don't think the Ruiz Brothers get enough credit for that really cool custom camera mount they came up with. It's really neat and looks easy to use.
wow the quality of that timelapse is better i thought it would be.
The amount of hours put into dialing in your printer to do print-in-place stuff is staggering. It's impressive every time I see it. Tolerances are not an easy thing to figure out.
