I think the keyboard input and DVI output make emulation on the PICO even more interesting... it also help me figuring how powerfull is a today MCU vs a yesterday home computer. Thank you @robust horizon for that.
I guess I used CPM on a TRS-80 (Tandy), but at the time I did not knew it was CPM, I just knew how to get to basic or to load games and boring work oriented software I had on floppies. In retrospect, it is odd that I knew the in and out of my ZX81, and so few things about my TRS-80.

@wind spoke agreed! it's a bit extraordinary that in the '80s it was a full featured computer that had 64kB of RAM and might run at 1, 2, or 4MHz. This emulator has over 300kB RAM between the two RP2040s, and runs at hundreds of MHz...

Maybe you don't even need a microprocessor. If pressing the button give power to the relay, and the relay cut it's own power... then it vibrate. No code, just a few wire. (also possibly it destroy the relay pretty quickly, and give feedback current due to the self).

@crimson lily There are a few ways you can go with that. A pyportal is great for uploading data to teh cloud and handing the workload, but as far as sensors go I use M5 stack toys for reading weather

Hi Engineers! How do you best tackle scope creep when it comes to projects jam-packed with lots of components? I'm a beginner that loves stacking featherwings and stemmaQT sensors, but at some point, it feels like I'm adding too many features in a single project. Long term would love to get into PCB design and use multiple boards, but I'm struggling to bridge the gap of knowing when to stop adding on. Thanks all!

I've seen this question come up a couple of times from several different people, and I figure this would be the best opportunity to ask. One of the most sought-after pieces of unobtanium from Adafruit these days is the Powerboost 1000C, referenced in a fair number of project guides on the website. Many of the newer development boards already come with this circuitry built in, but projects using something like the PyPortal still have no drop-in replacement. Is there any plan to re-release this product or rebuild it with newer components?

Or is it a difference between rfm95 and 69?

summer tinsel
nova totem
#

I'm not 100% sure. I am almost certain on HAM bands it was a rule. On the free ones not sure, as WiFi routers are encrypted... (obligatory I am not a lawyer ha)

sand lotus
#

I have yet to do anything with rfm69. I did plan on writing my own encryption for rfm95… that would be illegal? Or is ISM different and im misunderstanding the context?

summer tinsel

I think most other algorithms would produce messages too large for them to handle

although I do believe that's a bottleneck from the library

I was going to, still plan to, write a small basic substitution cipher so its not plain text is all.

cinder wind

text to emoji cipher

Which could easily fit on even a small avr with lora. Decoded with ascii. Overhead would be like 24bits max maybe.

compact sandal
#

Amateur radio bands you can't encrypt except for control (of radio stations in space and radio controlled things).

sand lotus
#

emojis are built into feathers ascii so definitely possible todbot.

#

The overhead would be more, basic substitution would be most efficient when every bit matters in an rfm stream.

sand lotus
compact sandal
#

ISM (Industrial, Medical, Scientific) bands are limited in transmit power by laws, so the transmit distance is limited in practice. ISM bands do allow encryption. Examples of ISM bands: ~2.4 GHz (WiFi), ~900 MHz (LoRa), ~433 MHz.

#

LoRa doesn't use the amateur bands, so is allowed to be encrypted.

@noble grove I did once have a rotary encoder that worked that way. It was a stepper motor that was slightly energized, and the (I'm talking past my knowledge level here) back EMF that occurs when the wheel drives the motor was measured to create quadrature outputs.

Hello guys👋🇸🇪

Looks like wsgi would be better for web applications like django. I can see why it might be better for http server to just use requests or maybe even mdns for sockets.

lilac tusk

push to your branch and checkout your commit?

#

for that specific submodule anyway

sand lotus
#

wsgi is meant to be cross platform compatible but i mean... http is pretty cross compatible..

lilac tusk
#

(just as a way of avoiding copy pasting and running into issues)

sand lotus
#

i've never used wsgi, adafruit requests has served me well enough for practically any project

brisk bone
#

I may be wrong but isn't WSGI only working on some microcontrollers?

sand lotus
#

that could be true

lilac tusk

I'm saying pushed the merged changes up to your branch, go to the esp32spi submodule directory, do git pull, checkout the branch you pushed up. then you should be able to build with your changes.

oh right server stuff, last time i used it it was still one line f-string. httpd server has come a very long way this year.

brisk bone
#

I remember having issues with WSGI and ESP32-S2 before using HTTPServer

#

although it is possible I was doing something wrong

nope, i ran into issues too but maybe because i was expecting it to work more like httpd server

lilac tusk

ah okay

i was using airlift only stuff and nrf52840 chips this time last year

#

honestly the S2 and S3 have only recently gotten sorted out to be stable within the past 3 months.

#

maybe longer, think i switched to an S2 around christmas time maybe.. and only recently to an S3.

#

i could see trying to run http server on a pi pico being particularly challenging.

brisk bone
sand lotus
#

i saw something about that but i'm not really the one to ask. Tim would likely have a much better answer to that. He's dived into wiznet stuff.

#

Which is far more than me.

#

I use requests with SSL yes but not server side.

#

Yeah setting up SSL certs is like pulling teeth even with a full fledged website and huge server. Good luck to whoever gets that task for the Pi Pico.

#

By the time you have the cert response from a pi pico it might not have any room left. Dunno. Certs can get big.

#

Especially if you want it to run a relatively new and higher encryption like 2048bit that's just not going to work on a pico most likely.

#

https is always going to be slower than http, that's just the nature of the overhead from the encryption.

#

yeah it would probably bring a pico to its knees.

brisk bone
#

Yes, yes, of course, the problem is I was unable to use that code on S2, and author claims it works on Pico 🤔

sand lotus
#

good point. i think adafruit has a cryptography library for SSL... but offloading to a hardware co-processer might be handy especially for the pico.

brisk bone
#

Nevertheless, I believe a more practical way to do HTTPS would be to use external e.g. RPi4 with nginx that points to microcontroller

there are limits i mean a pico is not a pi 3.

Not a lot of disk space on the Funhouse.

#

think i figured out why my feather weather wasn't updating properly. was using continue instead of break so was never getting out of the if ip4v loop. so if it failed inside that it would just hang.

#

because of something you said today to use break to get out of the while loop. just helped me thank you.

#

i've been having a lot of internet connection issues lately. up and down all day. they're working in the area this week i can see the trucks everywhere.

#

great time to harden the script from random fails... which it was crashing.

#

instead of assuming it's still connecting now breaks out of while loop and just reinitiates the entire thing all over again.

#

you've put in a good amount of work today from requests and pyportal to portalbase and funhouse. whew. what a maze. all of them are interdependent in weird ways somehow sometimes.

Yeah. Today’s stream gave me a couple of tangential things to try to resolve some pesky Corrosion Monitor “write to AIO” issues.

Desk of Ladyada - Ruxpin Rock-out & Prop-Maker Prepping

Last week we were visiting out of town family so we didn't have a Desk of Ladyada - this week we're back to follow up on what we got done in the last 2 weeks! In our last episode we were wrestling with the Teddy Ruxpin hack without much success - but on Wednesday morning we were able to get audio playing on the bear! this week we'll look at what...

whatever the project is, i see you doing neat stuff and wish you the best of luck in your new project.

#

hall effect sensors are labeled automotive because they're commonly used for measuring a vehicles crankshaft rotation rpm, generally called a crank sensor.

#

they can measure up to like 10K RPM. unless you're putting it on an angle grinder you should be able to measure something np. awesome show!

if you're trying to measure rotation speed with a hall effect sensor you will likely end up in automotive videos, they can be very helpful.

Q: Does the i2c just transmit pixel number and values? In other words, are there global commands like "all off" "all brighter" "shift pixels right" etc. to save i2c bandwidth by shifting the processing to the driver (though the demo looked pretty good!) If not, is it possible to program the ATTiny1616 onboard to add commands? Would that then make in incompatible with the Adafruit library?

Q:Jeff Geerling interviewed Eben Upton recently, who was... not exactly positive about the RISC-V for the moment. He seemed to think it'll be something close to a decade, as I recall, before the RISC-V ecosystem is mature enough to compete with ARM enough for him to consider a Raspberry Pi based on it. That seems pessimistic to me, wondering what you think?
