Reminds me, my netflix tab was aware of a change in network state, I wonder if I could use that event to reconnect after the onboard hotspot (wifi access point) reappears. Trickily my device also joins the home wifi (station+client) so I really should re-poll for an available ws server if disconnected, rather than network change (or in addition to).

Good morning ☕

[sand lotus]

divs look cut for mobile

position relative and offset to body

margin on light is offset correctly but the graph isn't.

do graph bodies have a minimum width?

might have to adjust card or chart area?

ideally the title span should do it inclusively and the chart will inherit but div/spans can be a headache like that sometimes.

this is why i like circuit python... i'm used to saving and then checking templates with trial & error saving. circuit python workflow is very similar to webwork.

[unreal bay]

// beginning of url adheres to the current http schema (http/https) avoiding insecure or mixed-content errors. Doesn't work with file:// as the domain can't be accessed on the filesystem (unless your crazy)

[sand lotus]

it's pronounced page-a-nating because it's for making pages.

it's just because the english language doesn't like pageination.

I'm working on a solar project today. Mounting a 5W 5V solar cell to the house to power a ring camera. Have to disassemble the soffit to get at it. It's peak sunshine time so I can measure the voltage polarity before connecting. Have a great day!

[unreal bay]

i keep missing audio bits, maybe when talking quietly occasionally, or my laptop struggling possibly

oh wicked, so the slider on the right of funhouse works too? (sorry when afk for food)

good as a brightness slider

oh I found that a bit, the cap touches could trigger. Playing with the levels or offsets helped.

[shell mason]

cameras and cleanups so cool

[nova totem]

At some point I ended up with two versions of some key libraries and build systems for Arduino

[shell mason]

it could be cool if get upgrade with LLM knowledge like chatbot does and know circuitpython too

[sand lotus]

Aww i like the arduino themed dress and books, cute.

[tulip kestrel]

hay can you make a pyportal with usb host so i can make a cd player?

[nova totem]

it also said it was 1979 and I think we are past that

[sand lotus]

3.5” yussss my favorite!

[open girder]

@tulip kestrel interesting idea, noted 🙂

[tulip kestrel]

and also allow any format mp3 files to play out of the built in speaker would be easy and would be better for any pyportal

[cedar loom]

Hi there, this is for the Adafruit engineering team. I've submitted a PR for the "High Bit Depth Gamma Correction Algorithm for APA102/Dotstar LEDs" for the Adafruit library, as requested by Lady Ada during last wednesdays show and tell event.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_DotStar/pull/57

I want to mention that Lady Ada recommended I create a subclass. But when I got into the code I realized that fewer changes were necessary to integrate this into the main object. I'm okay making this a separate class though, as originally requested, just let me know.

[tulip kestrel]

Please anyone help me with this.

[unreal bay]

If you bridge the solder joints, can you still alter the output via i2c?

[vagrant flax]

@unreal bay I believe so, since by default the 5V jumper is actually bridged

From the guide: "When configuring over I2C, the jumper settings are used on startup until the I2C commands come over."

[unreal bay]

I assumed the jumper sets the default, and i2c works regardless

Q: is the wifi on these ESP32s stable? I moved to the WINC1500 years ago b/c I had trouble maintaining a connection on ESP32?

[vagrant flax]

@urban gale I currently have like 15 ESP32 devices deployed around my apartment for lighting purposes, I have not had any reliability issues for what it's worth

[unreal bay]

How much overlap is there for the front cover and touch panel? Trying to do similar for the bar display

[vagrant flax]

oooh the tree is coming along nicely!

[urban gale]

@vagrant flax TY. I may give it another shot. The WINC is rock-solid but I'm worried they may get discontinued

[vagrant flax]

Right now the ESP32 family are my most-used microcontrollers, just ahead of the RP2040 lol.

That reminds me of the tree in Zilker Park in Austin

So Debian is trying to solve the problem that MacOS tried (and kinda failed) to solve a decade ago with a system Python

[royal adder]

Debian is a couple years behind MacOS on not shipping generic python.

[cinder wind]

jinx!

[dawn bear]

I found venv and straight install gets REALLY confusing.

[royal adder]

They did solve it. It's their python so GTFO.

[delicate fractal]

venv is one of those things: if you create the habit, it gets easier. It's probably worthwhile to create a venv in your .bashrc. Good IDEs, like pycharm, can automagically create a new venv for every project which is awesome.

[dawn bear]

Yes. I am now using IntelliJ

[proven crow]

Looks like it's not available yet. You can probably just use a USB-C laptop charger with PD!

[dawn bear]

Ok. That I have

[cinder wind]

I've found pyenv to be handy for my needs of needing to switch around different python versions (sorta like nvm for NodeJs, if you know that). Dunno about what to do on RasPi (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv )

[dawn bear]

@proven crow thanks

[delicate fractal]

It's actually not Debian, it's python! Its a code change in pip that all (at least most) distributions wanted. Debian is just taking advantage of it.

[slow spire]

@open girder Spotted a small typo in the product pages for Pi 5 4GB and 8GB: At the bottom of the description, it's still saying "3A (15W)"; the new supply is "5A (27W)"

[sand lotus]

You'd really have to know the intricacies of the distro to know how to navigate projects without sudo. :/

[open girder]

thanks @slow spire will fix that after the show

[dawn bear]

@open girder I want to SPEAK TO YOU MANAGER! LOL. LadyAda!

[royal adder]

intrepreted languages are so simple. Stuff like venv or pyenv the stuff for ruby are just modifying paths. When I did a lot of python I'd keep all my code in the project including libraries.

pip has not been a standard in python for long either.

[proven crow]

There's lots of wrappers that make venvs easier. The one I like is literally called virtualenv-wrapper

[royal adder]

Copy the files was.

[delicate fractal]

arg: I mis-clicked: my last comment was really aimed at @cinder wind , not @royal adder

[dawn bear]

My issue was the IDE finds multiple python installs.

I guess I need to start over

[royal adder]

What OS? You need to know your PATH.

Where do things invoked from the command line or terminal look for binaries or code?

[dawn bear]

@open girder because you ARE adafruit

[sand lotus]

One could make an argument that bookworm is just an entry point to get a working python path. 😛

[dim knot]

Adafruit Daily https://www.adafruitdaily.com/

[viral sail]

I wish more sites still used RSS.

[delicate fractal]

With pycharm, when you create a venv for the project, you can choose to make that venv AVAILABLE to other projects or not. I don't just so there are fewer opportunities to make mistakes

[sand lotus]

what's wrong with sudo pip all the things?

[nova totem]

😔 So sorry you had to go through that, AdaFolks. No one deserves death threats.

[timid plover]

I was able to add the 4GB Pi 5 to my cart, but by the time I tried to pay for it, it was out of stock - ( well - better luck next time )

[slow spire]

@open girder So was that 100 Pi 5 in < 1hr?

[open girder]

@slow spire almost 200 in 1 hr

[delicate fractal]

I think they averaged 2Pi/minute.

oh! 4ppm. my bad

[gray obsidian]

beware all this sugar!

[wind spoke]

Since I have a Pi5 on order from UK (to Belgium) I decided not to take a Pi5 away from USA people. 🙂

[nova totem]

@open girder Is the eye being driven by DMA like the SAMD51? or still to come?

[gray obsidian]

wait I was supposed to sleep…

[timid plover]

there were 18 in stock - when I clicked add to cart 🙂

[cinder wind]

I kinda got my CircuitPython "qteye" working on the Qualia board and a 480x480 display. Looks super cool even if not quite right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BChu_KzVALs

[proven crow]

@open girder did you see this one?

[merry gulch]

Q is the RPi 5 microSD still XC-I, class 10/U1

[slow spire]

Thank you, @open girder, for releasing these this way! This was like a well-run presale of concert tickets to superfans. Much appreciated.

[open girder]

thank ya @slow spire that's the vibe we were going for!

[vagrant flax]

I'm glad you're keeping the Adabox alive, super excited for it ❤️

[wind spoke]

The microSD on Pi5 can work at double speed... what is not clear to me is what "flavor" of microSD is needed or if it will work for all.

[sand lotus]

yup, I'm definitely going to be running your eye code on the 4" i just purchased. got it rush shipping so hopefully should be here in time to put them in the window or stuff them into something weird for Halloween.

[upbeat coral]

Thank you for taking time for us

Thanks and chat friends! been awhile, gotta come back around here more often ❤️

[cinder wind]

thanks pt, thanks Limor!

[desert orbit]

BTW, for anyone getting a Pi5 that's going to do any 3d modeling, this PDF may come in handy as a starting point for designs, although it doesn't have nearly the detail that'll eventually be available with the board and calipers in hand later:

https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rpi5/raspberry-pi-5-mechanical-drawing.pdf

[merry gulch]

Yes, not clear from the RPi.com product page. I call it said it is SDR104 speed but what is that? Class 10/U1 is what I found for the definition of SDR104. So not clear what SD is best for Pi5? Thanks

[desert orbit]

also, there's a STEP file available in the Pi docs! Somehow missed this earlier, or maybe they added it since I last looked? Neat!

hello

[ornate coyote]

Moo everyone !

[nova totem]

Today has been a very friday feeling friday

[clever summit]

🇸🇪 👋

[timid plover]

great introduction to CP on silabs yesterday

[glad mortar]

heyhey

[clever summit]

I am back coding in c++ again. Was painful to switch from Python, all those missing semi colons at compile time... 😁

[glad mortar]

oh jeez thats crazy early

[clever summit]

Mo Seon. Heyho Timon.

[ornate coyote]

C++ suxorz - I'm also doing a lot of C++ atm. So much dislike.

[clever summit]

I might start using semi colons when I do Python going forward.

[glad mortar]

we actually might have very similar sleep cycles then haha
I'm currently fairly close to PST

[clever summit]

C++ syntax is created by someone very mean. 🙂

[glad mortar]

(I'm physically in Germany for context)

[clever summit]

I can, but everyone would be laughing at me.

[glad mortar]

I love working for the US because of that

[inner spade]

👋

[ornate coyote]

Oh crap, went to update CP repo before fixing that QIO stuff for my boards and did a fetch all instead of fetch and now I'm getting every bloody submodule for every port for everything ever .... OMG 😦

[glad mortar]

not a question but random thing just coming to mind. There was a pretty bad bug for the S3 in an earlier IDF 5.1 release. I think the one that was paired with one of the latest MPY versions had the buggy sub release.

maybe something to keep an eye out if you are working against the latest patch release

ok just checked, it was a bug in the FPU. I think the patch was backported from 5.2 to 5.1.1.
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/11690

5.1 is affected, 5.1.1 has it fixed

tldr funky math bugs if not fixed

[covert crag]

caffeine naps are great btw

desire to get a labelmaker intensifies

[glad mortar]

looks like DMA from PSRAM is only supported for some peripherals

anything supported by the GDMA controller

but apparently also some are not yet implemented in IDF

[sand lotus]

Got basic eye working with Qualia on 9 alpha 2. Neat stuff, thank you for all the advances. 🙂

[shell mason]

nice eye

[sand lotus]

oh I'll have 2 by the end of the day. Will likely put them in the window for Halloween. Don't have anything big enough to put them in.

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/eyeball-creepy-halloween-scary-cool-gif-19806626

if you have dome or 2 if you have 2 display

[sand lotus]

these are actually too big for eyes. can't get any stuffed animals big enough. will likely turn them into circular displays for other stuff after Halloween.

[timid plover]

any asserts or validation of the heap ( debug support in tlsf? )

[shell mason]

DJDevon3 did you see the flowers in life what is for black fabric?

[sand lotus]

the flowers from maker faire? yes. pretty awesome. could do a black robe and just stick the eyes in it... or a hoodie. good idea.

[shell mason]

this one https://www.flowersoflife.net/

[sand lotus]

Saw a bit of it from Erins Show & Tell yes.

[shell mason]

if you decor something like that then add the eye in it could be spooky ghost

[sand lotus]

i do have some rgb flood lights yes

[shell mason]

if you have some uv lights what you could use for UV Decor

[sand lotus]

i do have an idea on how to use them now, through the window, don't want to put them outside

the core stuff is so far over my head might as well be looking at someone coding in greek. it's nice to see Scott excited about memory stuff.

[nova totem]

I'm still scared from when I was tracking down some GC problem a few months ago.

[timid plover]

it is safe to free null on some systems, right?

[covert crag]

https://tenor.com/view/right-to-jail-jail-parks-and-rec-right-away-fred-armisen-gif-16902115

null^

[sand lotus]

oh wow, big changes

looking forward to working with all the different display bus changes too.

[glad mortar]

what was the reason again that you need two independent stacks?

memory stuff like that makes my head hurt, so I get that lol

[nova totem]

memory leaks and allocations problems are by far the worse bugs I've ever had to chase

[sand lotus]

oh if something can break i usually run straight into it

if defrag is a problem then would a defrag program like windows has might eventually be a thing?

[covert crag]

I think we have very different definitions of "looking forward to" 😉

[sand lotus]

oof that does not sound easy

[glad mortar]

did you read books on this topic or is something you learned during your degree?

[sand lotus]

looking forward to finding display bugs to help make it more stable. it's kind of the only real way i can contribute to the core is finding bugs.

[timid plover]

with respect to defrag - ( add another level of indirection ) 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_software_engineering

[glad mortar]

fair 🙂
but sounds like you still have a pretty solid understanding of what exists and the dos and don'ts

lol, -O stole your code

[shell mason]

refactor boards build system

[timid plover]

actually sharing binarys across builds are also like another level of indirection 🙂 - ( like virtual tables )

[sand lotus]

this is why i'm happy with neopixels. glad we have someone like you diving into the hard stuff.

[glad mortar]

what do you mean with that boards are isolated?

oooh, I see

so currently every board builds cpy from scratch?

right

[timid plover]

perhaps you will have to invent a new build system to handle the shared code

what are the other issues you will face with the shared builds

[glad mortar]

but yea that sounds complicated to get into a shared dependency build

[timid plover]

how would you catch #defines that will affect the binaries

[glad mortar]

oh jeez ok

sounds like the largest chunk of work might be in refactoring how board specific stuff is set?

[timid plover]

maybe there would be some out of the build process tool that would detect the changes

so the build could be fast, but there would be a way to catch the breaking conditions

like DLLs 🙂

just kidding

[glad mortar]

sounds like some cursed linker magic afoot

[shell mason]

feature tags of board features perhaps

[covert crag]

cmake you sad

[glad mortar]

my dislike of cmake has gotten less in the newer versions

yea the "spin your own scripting language" thing of the olden tools is annoying. Luckily people don't really do that anymore

are the qstrings touching every part of the code base or is there stuff where you can be sure already that it would be same across builds?

[timid plover]

on the concept of inputs - that's one of the things that cmake is trying to do also ( maybe other tools do that too ) ?

identical inputs for different builds

like you were saying - like environments

[glad mortar]

haha no its definitely not

esp. for such a large project with such different needs for its dependencies

[timid plover]

the journey starts with a clear definition - of what you want to share between build targets

[glad mortar]

maybe worth looking into some other RTOS's out there to see how they handle these things. Zephyr probably has some similar'ish issues with their device tree system thats generated as headers on compile time. They do it all in cmake.

what does active mean in this case?

[nova totem]

It could make sense for debugging... maybe

[glad mortar]

The device tree bit is def. very complicated.
Meant less copying, more like inspiration. Cherry picks a thing that might be something you can do in cmake already

[nova totem]

If it saved me from maybe have to re-initalize 3 displays when I drop the the RPEL if I'm testing there

[glad mortar]

aah yea ok

[nova totem]

yeah, I'm trying to think when I worked on my googly eye project which had 2 displays

[glad mortar]

but what is the benefit for the user then when they stay active?

[nova totem]

Would there be a case say if I had a TFT display and a IS31 display or LED Matrix display? Similar issue probably, no way to get it

panelize displays 🙂

[glad mortar]

but also a big assumption on the physical arrangement of the displays

I think in practice thats probably of limited use to have REPL go over several displays

yea I would keep it simple

as long as the user can define where the REPL pops up

even if its a static decision

[nova totem]

How does it work for say the monster mask where the board startup initializes both displays, is there any way to get that back without rewriting all that code in python?

That is how I get to the REPL display, display = board.DISPLAY after I drop there

[glad mortar]

yea I think thats fine, I think its okay to make a decision once in the beginning what your REPL display is and then that stays for the lifetime of the runtime

[nova totem]

(I don't own a monster mask just "made" my own)

Either way I don't really see a big deal to having it only keep one for the REPL as long as when I restart my program it handles it all nicely (most my display programs start with release_displays() and reinitalize them)

[glad mortar]

yea the good old background tasks of the brain

[nova totem]

amazing how much sleeping on it, or taking a break doing something else, helps solves problems

[glad mortar]

which is very similar how Zephyr deals with modules : P

[timid plover]

the example code is the "requirements" then?

[glad mortar]

you have a .conf file for every board overlay in a project

and can pull in only the things you need

they share aspects afaik

like Zephyr itself has a build directory that stays the same largely and then only the project build directory has to be torn down if you switch boards

but every project will hook into kernel stuff with the device tree header changing everytime

so they need to do something there

its daunting at first but it gets really nice after a while. The weirdest bit is how device tree is implemented, other than that its much less complicated than Linux does it

I much prefer if over other RTOS as it actually has abstractions for drivers

[sand lotus]

You can shoot yourself in the foot with practically any system that requires specific implementations

[glad mortar]

haha fair

oh yea for sure but also very different ends of the spectrum

the kconfig bits are quite minimal, like its just a bunch of "this plugin = y" in your project and thats it.

thanks for the stream

[inner spade]

Thanks. Appreciate the exposure to the core even if I only recognize one concept out of 100.

[sand lotus]

Philb’s eye code is arduino. Todbot’s eye code is circuit python.

[glad mortar]

how do you get that role?

ah

(yes pls)

[rapid hornet]

added!

[sand lotus]

Thanks for the deep dive!

[rapid hornet]

now I'm gonna restart and figure out this esp issue

[smoky island]

I'm a few minutes behind, but will be getting started shortly.

Getting started now, working on Circup a bit this morning. You can follow along on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZnDinK3Po or Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch

[clever summit]

🇸🇪 👋

I am playing with this today.
https://unexpectedmaker.com/shop.html#!/W-O-P-R-Missile-Launch-Code-Display-Kit-HAXORZ-II/p/578899083/category=154506548

One of the few Unexpected Maker boards that Adafruit is not selling.

It uses tinyPico size boards.

I have the anlog audio shield.

Those are to display the DEFCON lebel.

RGB LED's.

[sand lotus]

good morning ☕

[clever summit]

Not morning for me, having a coffee after dinner.

[unreal bay]

How does pip, or how could circup, or how do other things handle git repos

Hi all too

[sand lotus]

circup_requirements.txt or parse requirements.txt to include a circup line specifically for circup?

[clever summit]

pip does not, it uses the pypi site to store the packages.

[unreal bay]

Like adding your library requirements as a git repo (https URL)

Yeah I believe your correct, the community bundle gets built by adabot and pulls all the released versions of community repos

[sand lotus]

oh wow that's a bit more complicated

[inner spade]

I think it is downloading from the bundle repo. The mpy files exist there and are re created nightly.

[clever summit]

"This utility looks at all the libraries on the device and checks if they are the most recent (compared to the versions found in the most recent version of the Adafruit CircuitPython Bundle and Circuitpython Community Bundle)"

[sand lotus]

That sounds very handy for the V2's since the V2 only works with web workflow in circuit python (so far).

Would using an S2 or S3 be comparable for the way web workflow works with the V2?

[unreal bay]

Yeah, should be

[sand lotus]

I have yet to use boot.py for file writing so this will be very handy to watch. 👍

[unreal bay]

Except having the usb connected disables access to writing flash from CPY code for s2/3

The esp32 V2/1 has no native usb mass storage so shouldn't need to be disabled

[sand lotus]

Good point, probably no UF2 for the V2. I think esptool works best with .bin anyway.

[unreal bay]

Yeah Neradoc, and Discotool

[sand lotus]

yeah that's definitely neradoc, i've seen the gui version too. never used it.

[unreal bay]

Maybe the perfect time to use venv (python virtual environments). Been reading that's the safer way for Pi5 and blinka

Rebase it to get version up to date and then your example should work.
git rebase main

@smoky island

Have to deal with the merge conflict for init.py when rebasing like on the GitHub page if merging using UI.

[clever summit]

I use PyCharm every time I need a specific Python version. Makes it easy to manage.

[unreal bay]

Yeah it resets to main then reapply the commits for whatever branch your on (so the PR)

The commit reference of the PR is V1.1 and version checking code knows v1.3 exists

oh totally got the wrong end of the stick, my bad, I thought that was a blocking issue

[inner spade]

Should it be cedargrove_chime? @smoky island

[unreal bay]

Maybe path would be path to cpy folder on web UI, with password included in URL

[sand lotus]

Does it matter if it works 🎉

It works, just not how you want it to. 😦

Progress though!

[clever summit]

info is the log level that always shows up when you have logging on?

[sand lotus]

If it's specifically intended for the V2 then USB couldn't be tested anyway?

[inner spade]

Ah. Would need a new release.

[sand lotus]

in info hostname is the cpyname without .local?

[unreal bay]

http://:[e-mail]/fs/ as --path which chops each bit out presumably

[sand lotus]

I think password is optional but would be a good idea to keep that functionality

[unreal bay]

think you're making sense there. so --host 192.168.1.117 --password mysecrets

@sand lotus the password missing in toml means no file system access, probably serial too, but the web front page responds still

[sand lotus]

yeah returning none on all of them doesn't look right. :/

[inner spade]

It’s I2S, but it’ll run without a connected device

I2S has no handshake in the protocol

[unreal bay]

path needs to be /fs/code.[y

Browsers no l;onger enter a basic password for you, even if in URL

enter password when firefox asks

[clever summit]

Oh, you are doing a catch the flag? Cool! Looks funny!

I have been too busy to participate, I watched some of his videos on solves.

It certainly makes you think in different ways. 🙂

I am the architect of a web application with 2500 customers with about 20K users. The security audit we did was interesting...

The application passed. The internal IT did not though. Lol.

[unreal bay]

Sounds about right 🙂 One for theRegister in a few years, no doubt.
The --auto-file fs/code.py would do it, but less friendly than circup guessing that

[sand lotus]

Might not be abs or relative if its displaying the truncated url?

[unreal bay]

that is_relative was only checking if a splice of it matched relative to the current folder, not if it was a relative path generally

[inner spade]

Your mic limiter is dropping some of your voice.

[sand lotus]

Yup being really skippy.

Thanks for a neat deep dive into circup and web workflow.

☕️ have a great weekend everyone

[inner spade]

Appreciate you finding the dependency fix, too. I’ll update requirements.txt for all of my Community Bundle libraries where needed. Oh, and re-release them after the change. 😏

[unreal bay]

Thanks Tim, much appreciated

These will work with the Metro RP2040 that I picked up the other day, right?

[dawn bear]

Hi @haughty quiver from Los Angeles

[dawn bear]

Plus ordered a cool nunchuck

[ivory flax]

Hi JP

[dawn bear]

He'll come on as a pressure washer guy..

[timid plover]

will you be explaining the "Arduino" part of the description ?
"2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino"
what's the forecast for CircuitPython

[dawn bear]

Lady Ada was using CP

[drowsy inlet]

Lars is creeping me out!

[waxen bough]

Already ordered a bunch. Not taking any chances of missing out... 😎

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/agents-of-shield-lola-car-phil-coulson-agent-coulson-gif-15540852

[timid plover]

so Arduino "shape" ?

[brisk bone]

Can this be used with Metro boards?

[shell mason]

you should use arduino with this one

[drowsy inlet]

"Works best with any classic Arduino or Mega -shaped board." From the product page.

[cinder wind]

Yes it’s in Arduino Shield format

[waxen bough]

JP just answered my question about using the Metro RP2040 board! (He's using one) Good thing, I already ordered these.

[shell mason]

omg Lars have a mask

[cinder wind]

Woo WingShield! Back in the old days when all our volts were 5

[timid plover]

does the screw shield https://www.adafruit.com/product/196 give access to the 6 pin connector

[viral sail]

Thanks @haughty quiver

[waxen bough]

I wonder if we could get kivy or pygame for it.

[inner spade]

Thanks!

[haughty quiver]

thanks all!

[sand lotus]

Oh that should work nicely with the iMX boards. Snagged 2 last second whew. Thanks JP.

Happy Halloween

[timid plover]

forgot to ask - I think @haughty quiver said that the ICSP header is what is used by default, right?

[haughty quiver]

Yes, on v2 Touch Shield the ICSP pins are the default SPI

[sand lotus]

Can also immediately rewatch the video on youtube if you missed something you want to see again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcPbDjvvU38

[timid plover]

Thank you - are those signals on the any of the screw terminals - I could not tell by looking at the github page https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Proto-Screwshield-PCB

[haughty quiver]

@timid plover the terminals break out only the header pins along the side rows.

[timid plover]

thanks - I was wondering what the easiest way to hook up a logic analyzer to watch the traffic would be ( low priority / learning project for me )

[haughty quiver]

@timid plover if you wanted to you could cut the traces for the ICSP jumpers and solder the SPI jumpers, then you could hook up a logic analyzer to pins 11, 12, 13 on the screw terminals.

[nova totem]

Great job

[gray obsidian]

yeah, I'd probably buy some stuff if I wasn't in France…

[haughty quiver]

very cool @wind spoke

[gray obsidian]

@sand lotus whoa!

[gray obsidian]

there's some echo

[sand lotus]

That's an awesome gaming mod Delchi!

[inner spade]

Now you can clean your virtual truck with JP's powerwash controller.

[cold elm]

Huzzah!

[tulip canyon]

Awesome projects as always. Thanks for sharing all

[cold elm]

and you got to see my bench mouse lol

[gray obsidian]

I'll try to finish some project at the Micro Alchimie this week-end, maybe I'll have stuff to show

[viral sail]

Great projects everyone. Thanks for sharing.

[upbeat coral]

Thank you to all for taking time for us.

[nova totem]

Great projects all

[cold elm]

Huzzah! and now onward to my next project....

whatever that might be 😉

[solar flint]

just watched it!

[sand lotus]

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃

[solar flint]

loved ur mask!

[haughty quiver]

Now i want to build a diesel fuel pump simulator and controller

[cold elm]

there are allkinds of sims out ther now, even train simulators

[haughty quiver]

Gas Station Attendant 3000

[cold elm]

train / subway

farming, tractor, PC building simulators....

[solar flint]

yes!

[haughty quiver]

i love the look of some of those farming simulators

[solar flint]

yeah...

[cold elm]

and the custom controllers are wild

[haughty quiver]

i ran across some wild boat sim controller at one point

[next compass]

So who's going to SuperCon?

[cold elm]

but the fun part is most of them are jsut button boxes you can DIY

[solar flint]

huh

[wild urchin]

Complete with a small diesel fuel injector and fan so you can really smell the diesel you aren't really pumping.

[haughty quiver]

haha

[solar flint]

anyone ever thought of making a phone-like thing with a reverse tft feather, (obviously only wifi though)?

[solar flint]

wow

[sand lotus]

someday there will be phone booth simulators so kids in the future will know the joys of using one.

[cold elm]

oh tehres a person on instagram that has a hornet cockpit

[solar flint]

wow

[haughty quiver]

want

if you want to watch a video of a someone pretending to pilot a ship with a pretend ship control console, have I got the video for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG0vWl4tgvo

[solar flint]

wow

tbh i want to make one

3d printed wheel

[cinder wind]

Hey not all bots are bad 🤖😁

[haughty quiver]

heh

[sand lotus]

I already got a Pi 5 last week and still have yet to use that. Will leave it to those who haven't gotten one yet.

[verbal river]

None of the bots I've built are evil.

[cold elm]

My stack-chan bots are not evil

[solar flint]

guys, raspi 5 8gb now

adafruit

they announced now

[verbal river]

ladyada has to go down to the loading dock and drag a pallet over to the stock shelves.

[solar flint]

ITS IN

!!!!!

[sand lotus]

They sold out in less than an hour last week. If you want one and don't have a Pi 5 yet this is your chance.

[nova totem]

I'm still in the position it would be fun but I have no immediate use

[dim knot]

Raspberry Pi 5 - 8 GB RAM https://www.adafruit.com/product/5813

[solar flint]

i dont need one

[open surge]

and it hit rpilocator already

[tulip canyon]

Happy for all to get Pis. Great way to distribute too

[solar flint]

but still want one...

[sand lotus]

How hard will it be to get used to the Pi5 vs a Pi3? My last Pi was a 3B.

[verbal river]

wow that was fast!

[solar flint]

not hard

[glossy flicker]

got one! thank you, @open girder ! 🎉

[solar flint]

yay1

[sand lotus]

because I literally couldn't ever get a Pi 4 lol

[solar flint]

THEN GET ONE NOW

[upbeat coral]

Thank you Adafruit!

[solar flint]

its in stock

(for 5 min)

[sand lotus]

I got a Pi 5 last week 😉

[solar flint]

wow1

i am broke

[grand tusk]

bam!

[solar flint]

u got one?

[grand tusk]

yeah

[wild urchin]

I still have one of the Pi Laptops that I never sufficiently used.

[sand lotus]

hair is just standard plastic wire looming with the split in the middle, usually used with automotive looming. Very easy to put LED strips in them. 😉

[solar flint]

just saw something called esp3

whats dat

[sand lotus]

I'm looking forward to trying out Octopi but seems like they're having some funding issues right now. Not sure if it's available for Pi 5 yet.

[solar flint]

whats octopi?

wait is it the 3d pritning thing?

[sand lotus]

It's for 3D printing.

[solar flint]

ahh

like that thing in circutpython

[wind spoke]

Maybe I will regret that, I have a 8GB in pre-order... so I did not order one today. 🙂

[solar flint]

ahh

can u cancel and reorder>

?

[sand lotus]

Ugh it's called Octoprint not Octopi lol

[solar flint]

oh ye

thats what i saw

u can make one using reverse tft feather

https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-octoprint-controller-and-monitor

[sand lotus]

Well kind of, that's a notifier for Octoprint you still have to have octoprint setup on a raspberry pi. so that controller hooks into octoprint via plugins and api.

[wild urchin]

I don't need an RP 5 but you're making it hard for me to remember that.

[solar flint]

oh

lol

same

but im broke

only thing stopping m

e

[nova totem]

I remember the call in contests, they were still around when I first started watching AAE

[sand lotus]

There's a lot you can do with a Raspberry Pi vs Microcontrollers and thanks to Blinka you can run Circuit Python on it too.

[solar flint]

huh

i got a reverse tft feather

[wild urchin]

I have some credit card space open, and that shouldn't be temping to burn through but it is.

[solar flint]

couple days ago

but the esp32-s2

[sand lotus]

esp32-s2 is nice but the esp32-s3 is better. depends on what you're trying to do with it. right tool for the right job.

[solar flint]

wdym

couldnt figure out what other meant by that

[sand lotus]

i got a bunch of Gemma M0's for when I just want some simple neopixel projects. right tool for that job.

[solar flint]

but whats the diff between s2 and s3

[gray obsidian]

Exterminaaaaate!

[sand lotus]

S3 has BLE capability and is a dual core. more power and depending on the board can come in up to 16MB of RAM. S3 is just a jacked up version of the S2. both a good microcontrollers.

[solar flint]

oh

i got s2 from pihut

didnt have s3 in stock

reason being adafruit shipping is insane

i love their products and buy off them when possible though

[sand lotus]

If you new enough to not the know the difference then you're likely be fine with an S2, it'll serve you well.

[tulip canyon]

Question for @open girder Why was DisplayIO .show() depricated in CP 9.0? Also what was the drive to change settings.py / .env / secrets.py ?
Just curious what drives change. Thanks

[delicate fractal]

@sand lotus I'm getting home and into chat late: where did you get that mask?

[viral sail]

Why do I get Youtube ads during Adafruit broadcasts?

[tulip canyon]

Melissa helped me to learn .py libraries work when .mpy doesn't

[open girder]

@viral sail youtube has changed how they do things and put ads on everything now, even for folks with ad blockers and/or premium it seems

[sand lotus]

Amazon, they're widely available as KyeDay Mask in multiple variants.

[solar flint]

oh

cool

11 rpi5s left

only 11

now 8

[paper peak]

.show() didn't actually cause anything to show immediately, and that was confusing. It set the root group element. Now you use .root_group =. See https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/7213 and https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/7215

[tulip canyon]

Thanks @paper peak All good. I was just curious what drives these changes. Thanks

[paper peak]

secrets.py was usable in a program, but didn't provide a way to read values outside of a running Python virtual machine. .env was a hidden file, and hard to create on some operating systems. Its syntax was also very ad hoc and confusing.

[sand lotus]

There are a lot of library and syntax changes coming with 9.0. There will be a ton of people out there who will need to update their personal project code to 9.0.

[solar flint]

oh no

so many tutorials, gone

i like the new syntax

just less compatability

[paper peak]

not gone, will be updated

[solar flint]

so it will be compatable?

sry if its a stupid question

[sand lotus]

The Adafruit Learn Guides will be updated. Everything under Adafruit's control will be changed no problem. I'm talking about non-adafruit people like myself with a large variety of project code in my github that will need to be updated to 9.0 compatible code.

[solar flint]

yes, thats what i mean too

all the 3rd party tutorials

[tulip canyon]

Trying to read a recipe on the web is now so hard!

[paper peak]

9.0.0 will introduce the new changes; the old ways will be removed in 10.0.0. .show was deprecated in 8.x and removed in 9.0.0

[solar flint]

oh

thats cool!

just so u know, rpi 5 is now out of stock

[timid plover]

I only saw out of stock myself

[nova totem]

I'm so behind on documenting my projects 😦

[sand lotus]

Didn't know it would pull in gists. Will look into that thank you.

[open girder]

@sand lotus whoops, it's coming soon!

[verbal river]

I'm documenting my latest project right now. 🙂

[open girder]

but now ya know a feature 🙂

[timid plover]

I guess I got in too late - will try in the future again

[nova totem]

I think I sent my last open source hardware cert during AAE

[strong acorn]

Python on Hardware weekly has a GitHub repo and a website, is there similar for the IoT newsletter (rather than email)?

[sand lotus]

oh an oberon or waldorf synth. sounds beautiful.

[open girder]

@strong acorn yep, we post on our website later

and there is a permalink/html page (post with the same content)

[strong acorn]

found it https://io.adafruit.com/blog/ (no links in main Adafruit blog)

[tulip canyon]

I thought about doing fluid level sensing on hydration pack but my initial tests suggested it's too "sloshy"

[paper agate]

I'm planning on using my new Rpi 5 in a mobile project. Since the Pi 5 uses PD, any ideas what the best way to power it may be? My use case includes several peripherals so will probably need as much power as possible.

[solar flint]

prob a VERY large lipo with a controller board

such as pisugar

[sand lotus]

Strain gauge?

[gray obsidian]

no that was a joke on the discount cod… P or N "channel" 😄

[solar flint]

@open girder i have a question:
can i use the circuitpython tutorials for the esp32-s2 tft feather with the reverse version?

[echo canopy]

Question

I hadn’t been to the Arduino Adafruit IO library in a while — I see the merger of WiFi and Adafruit IO , can you provide a little background on the decision to make the merge

Thanks

[solar flint]

thank you!

[wild urchin]

They try to keep the magic smoke IN on these chips.

[sand lotus]

I use talentcell battery banks for hurricane emergency supply. They’ll do 5v usb or 9v out. I really like them, very portable.

[tulip canyon]

Thanks @open girder Have a great night.

[nova totem]

Even though I didn't need (/want) a Pi5 appriciate the fact you gives the viewers the first shot!

[solar flint]

bye!

[viral sail]

Thanks @open girder and good night. 🌖

[upbeat coral]

Thank you for taking time for us.

[gray obsidian]

bye!

[wind spoke]

Thanks

[solar flint]

see ya!

[paper agate]

Thanks Adafruit!

[solar flint]

tbh cant belive they answered my question

[sand lotus]

Excited for some new nxp stuff. iMX 500mhz chip is super fast. Need moar ram.

[fallow fractal]

i love this board. any chance we could a feather version?

[sand lotus]

Imx feather sounds appealing too.

[delicate fractal]

ahhh. Got my moment of zener!

Lucky I checked. The Workshop is on an hour earlier here...

[split gazelle]

good afternoon folks

[open surge]

👋

[haughty quiver]

hello folk

[clever summit]

🇸🇪 👋

[lavish patrol]

Good evening @clever summit

Lol

[clever summit]

Also said hello to dave in Youtube, for when he arrives.

[dawn bear]

Hi All from Los Angeles

Sunny and 22C

Got my PI5... now what to do with it? 🙂

[lavish patrol]

It's 8:00pm here.

[inner spade]

👋

[dawn bear]

1pm here

[inner spade]

Space heater.

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-poke-ball-wiggle-wiggling-gif-8995890

[dawn bear]

Thats how I got my 4gb

Coffee Cup Warmer

[lavish patrol]

Hamburgers?

😋

[clever summit]

I would put it in the box labelled Raspberry PI with the other ones.

[lavish patrol]

Lol

[clever summit]

We don't have PM here. So 21:00.

[lavish patrol]

Yep. 20:00. Sorry. 😉

[shell mason]

lars gotta catch them all

[clever summit]

(I actually ran out of space in my Raspberry Pi box, so can't order more)

[lavish patrol]

@clever summit You need a bigger box...

[shell mason]

andy need to catch all lars

[lavish patrol]

@shell mason Do you see PokeLars on the table behind JP?

[shell mason]

see lars with mask there too

[lavish patrol]

I think Lars was allergic to something he ate...

[cinder wind]

Larssssss

Oh yes, web workflow is stable enough for a Parsec

[cinder wind]

hear that folks, we got 'im. we got his password. it's "passw0rd"

[lavish patrol]

Lol

[unreal bay]

He must be faking it for the show, you know it's really "password"

[lavish patrol]

Or p@ssword...

[split gazelle]

I’ve been using it for my wall mounted matrix project. Works awesome

[drowsy inlet]

so that's any esp32 board?

[lavish patrol]

Interesting Moire patterns on JP's shirt...

[cinder wind]

Yes, I believe so. It's a bit more of a challenge to get a settings.toml on a non ESP32-S2/S3 board that doesn't present a CIRCUITPY drive, but I believe a Learn Guide shows you how

[split gazelle]

This is adorable

[lavish patrol]

Looks like a Doctor Who opening sequence.

[cinder wind]

the moire patterns on JP's shirt? it's so cool

[unreal bay]

Extra flux (pen/syringe) or some solder braid

[cinder wind]

don't forget some snacks

[viscid bolt]

and money

[lavish patrol]

Never forget the snacks.
