@open surge getting a 🤗 for PR's. Nice.
Possible Qualia RGB-666 displays might get their own too someday. It would make sense because they're really different from other types.
I'll assume that splitting them will make them more efficient for each display type?

I had plan to do the SSD1306, because I contributed to the 64x32 OLED screen.
But then I saw that Paul was doing them all.
Luckily because I burned my display (it is the one so small it fit a LEGO brick.

What keyboard is programmable in circuit python?
I'd like to see a port to keyboard.io Model 100
sand lotus
probably any keyboard that has a microcontroller in it with usb capability running on a samd21 or samd51 cpu, even rp2040's can do it like Adafruit's Keeboar microcontroller. if you want to build your own keyboard there are many Learn Guides on Adafruit's website for it.
dawn bear
Wow. That is a tad tedious... You could do a Find in Files for show()
wild urchin
Just for reference: https://shop.keyboard.io/products/model-100
sand lotus
If you have a mouse or keyboard from 1970 and want to make them USB compatible Jepler likely has a guide on it.
about the only thing he hasn't turned into a USB keyboard yet is a typewriter.

sand lotus
ohh an apple notification system. didn't know that guide existed. neat project.

maybe it's before adafruit started importing github code into learn guides?
maybe it's caching an old file? that makes no sense.

It's bad form to just have the magic number

why does show have print *24 hardcoded?
I bet it's the number of lines you need to get the print out of the printer.
I wrote Java in college in 1997. Python it's 20 years - 2003

WLED has mesh capability so you can sync multiple WLED controllers together for light shows. Erin St. Blaine has a phenemonal guide using Jellyfish and WLED. Look into that.

If I designed 3D stuff, I could see it being more useful to have a 3D Printer. I design code, I guess. More I redesign it over and over again.
sand lotus
3D printing and Circuit Python are a match made in heaven for fast iteration prototyping.
wild urchin
Right, but then you have a RegEx, and you have a new problem.
dawn bear
@sand lotus how so? Do tell
sand lotus
It might be faster doing it manually than trying to fix all the potential issues with regex.
wild urchin
I say that as somebody who has read Mastering Regular Expressions.
dawn bear
I really just meant searching for displayio to then find the files that might need help
sand lotus
I was going to do a regex one time and you helped me do it better with replace instead. I think it was for a requests example.
wild urchin
Test Driven Development for Regular Expressions.
dawn bear
@sand lotus How are you using CP with CAD/3D
sand lotus
<@126221640559362048> how so? Do tell
Circuit Python has an exceptionally fast iteration cycle vs a compiler. 3D printing prototypes is similar in fashion where you print something, figure out you are a little off here or there, and redesign and reprint. You kind of never get a 3D print design perfectly the first try so it's an iterative process. Combining a Circuit Python electronics in a 3D printed project your rocking back and forth between Fusion 360, Cura, and PyCharm for example. It's a dance.
You don't use them specifically together. Just in tandem separately to make a 3D printed electronics project.
lyric frost

REPLs are your friend when it comes to fast iteration - play around and find out really quickly
sand lotus
Like FoamyGuy's etch-a-sketch project. You don't get the electronics project to a friendly useable state without just the right enclosure design.
sand lotus
Oh I switched to a .8 nozzle recently. With combing and ironing off you can do far faster prototypes which is really what I wanted a 3D printer for. Using a .4 nozzle with .1 layer height is for really fine detail work. Since I mostly do enclosures I rarely need that level of detail.
wild urchin
repl.py is very useful, I cant imagine how I was working without it
What is repl.py?
sand lotus
cut my printing time in half, easily with .8 nozzle
brisk bone
What is repl.py?
from CP 9.0.0-alpha2, it is a file that automatically executes when you enter REPL
wild urchin
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
brisk bone
is repl.py only available in 9.0 alpha?
I do believe so
strong acorn
I loaded up my non-9 boards with it too, so at least I can do import repl
wild urchin
safemode.py runs if the board comes up in safemode?
wild urchin
I haven't spent much time with CircuitPython, I live in CPython for work and hobby stuff (I'm looking for work!)
dawn bear
OMG... I'd never have figured that out. CURA!
sand lotus
There is a way to fix that... which I have done so that never happens to me anymore. Been a while since I've run into it.
dawn bear
I guess I could google it... but how does safe mode work
wild urchin
I see that there's an output notification
So you can print stuff in repl.py and it should show in the output?
dawn bear
So it is automatic
brisk bone
So you can print stuff in repl.py and it should show in the output?
Is is much more, you can import libs, define functions, setup wifi etc and then get acces to REPL console
wild urchin
Sure, that makes sense.
wind spoke
import code 🙂
dawn bear
This is 9.x only?
brisk bone
you could do "from repl import *"
wind spoke
`import code` 🙂
import code <= then you never reach the repl anymore. 🙂
wild urchin
If you import code, you should have all the variables in the code module.
Just don't put a loop in there that operates unless code is main

The Adafruit register infrastructure helps tremendously when writing drivers for I2C.
The seesaw code is a good example of I2C for two interconnected MPUs. Would be nice if the second MPU driver was CircuitPython rather than Arduino.

Then maybe I understood incorrectly, I though it uses a variable stored on per repo scope
Probably due to a safe_* functions, I am not sure how it would behave wit hautoescape disabled
unreal bay
just curcious, with the {% %} converting, change the %20 to + and retest
also try converting to a space in url bar too
brisk bone
httpserver does not parse/decode the url, so I believe it would look for literally file with + in name
unreal bay
need a browser extension for that
brisk bone
maybe curl would work with spaces?
it is necessary for tests to pass, if I could I would hide it, but it is outside html tags, so no clean way t oget hold of it

USPS will allow you to ship products that contain lithium batteries (like a phone), but only by ground, not by air.
sand lotus
Yes, you must declare it's part of equipment, box must have a battery warning label #UN3481, emergency contact phone#, and the battery must be mostly discharged. Whenever you order a battery from Adafruit it will have that label on the box. You can ship this way via any postal carrier.
strong acorn
I U.S. Mail devices with some regularity, tell them it’s a product that contains a lithium battery, they tell me the ground options, but no label or extra documentation …rules always subject to interpretation
it may be different for commercial

I had to ship one once and when I got there had the label on it, filled out, and told the postal worker the exact postal code to look up for shipping with a battery. She said, "ohh you did your research". Felt like I got a gold star on my homework. 🙂

Two springs or motors interacting on the position of an object?
Sorry for the late response. I used to work for a company that combined stepper motors with lead screws and plastic nuts. I did a lot of testing mapping linear motion devices. I saw that graph I mentioned a lot (sin plus five sine), and knew that that was what was going on, but could never put words to the motion. The funny part of it is, I no longer work in that industry. But, that is not stopping me from emailing that to my former boss and starting a discussion. Engineering is fun, and I don't care if I'm not getting paid for it every time.

ah the days of spigot and jira brings back memories.
yeah i did a little bit of java for minecraft. when you're an admin with a bunch of heathen players you kind of have to. kids are really really good at finding loopholes in games. when someone tried to use TNT on someone's registered plot it would turn them into a donkey for 24 hours... or hit them with lightning that destroyed all their gear.
for some reason people got mad at that then i dialed it back to just hitting them with lightning that did no damage. :/

unreal bay

That's still on the slow side for streaming audio, considering that you'd want to be sending 16 bit samples out at 44.1kHz.
echo canopy
Sounds good !!
wild urchin
It's fine. You're doing chromatic quantized?
vivid ore
Ah, 16-bit. Fair point.
tiny grove
Each sample will require at least 18 bit times to transfer if you count the ACK bits, and you'd still need to run an external clock signal to get the sample rate correct.
vivid ore
Yeah, an I2S amp would probably do all that for a lot less work.
If only I had some fun synths to make use of a nice DAC…
sand lotus
Would this be a single version of the MCP4728 Quad DAC?
tender wolf
I have some fun synth you can use!
sand lotus
Oh it's 16 bits
tiny grove
Yeah, an I2S amp would probably do all that for a lot less work.
I2S is definitely the better choice here. And if your chip doesn't support it you should still be able to implement it relatively easily using a SPI interface.
echo canopy
Is it meant to also drive an LED? Could you do a wider range of dimming ?

multiplexer will allow you to chain multiple I2C modules that have the same address
inner spade
If I chain two of the DACs with two addresses, how do I get both of them?
Set the address on the board then create two DAC instances in CircuitPython.
sand lotus
most microcontrollers have 2 I2C busses so if that's all you want to put on there you could do one on each bus as well.

Thanks @haughty quiver

Thanks JP

if an I2C module doesn't have multiple address pads anyway.

Snagged 2, Thanks JP. 16-bit DAC, delicious.

thanks much everyone!

@haughty quiver Thank you!
So, yeah, without a multiplexer, I could build a 5 octave pitch CV source with a 5V gate source by using the address jumpers.
But to grow the sequencer arbitrarily, I'd need a MUX/DeMUX pair to talk to all the DACs.
sand lotus
I actually didn't look at how many addresses were on it. Only came in at the very end. Looks like 2 addresses per module.
Yes @wild urchin to add a bunch of them you'd definitely want a multiplexer like a PCA9548 https://www.adafruit.com/product/5626

multiplexer is better at driving multiple LED's like the MCP23017
Not for dimming, also it has limited output power.

Well I ended up buying 4 DACs and one 4-way ADC, so at least I can have a loop for testing, maybe making something interesting.
Next stop: a CircuitPython Trinkey QT2040 sequencer.

Appreciate the heads up. That first deadline coming up soon for Christmas projects.

really clean design on that case 😄

the case is clean

TTL RGB-666 which currently only works with the qualia boards to my knowledge. I think Ladyada is working on something for Rasperry Pi.
I have a couple and am extremely impressed with the image quality. Gorgeous display clarity.

Pretty translucent filament.
Knowing how to use esptool with python can be a lifesaver if webserial doesnt work.

Already reported the Web installer bug for Qualia, fix in the pipeline
sand lotus
Same thing happened for the matrix portal s3. New boards shipped before the web installer was ready.

TinyUF2 is updated, cpy org site in pipeline

Also worth noting its 9.0 alpha only, there will be bugs.
I imagine trying to print with a .8 nozzle the snap fit wont work. Needs finer detail of a .4 nozzle? I’ve never tried yet.

gonna wear that around my neck like an old-school rapper

Beautiful design
If you need longer can probably chain a few ribbon extender’s together.

I once needed a flight proximity detector while in the air. Less fun situation

Was curious about tracking the non-civilian aircraft (we get a lot of copper choppers, and even more medivac flights), the things they broadcast over airwaves is very interesting
slow spire
@blissful apex awesome! BTW, your matrix looks so good on the stream. Often, LEDs blow out on video. What camera are you using? Any tips on videoing LEDs?
blissful apex
It's got a black LED acrylic panel on it for diffusion
unreal bay
also the component picker supports searching by i2c address like 0x0b
slow spire
Yeah, those smoky diffusers are great!
@blissful apex Were you using the built in MacBook Pro webcam?

Wow! Amazing to get that quality and value on clear resin prints.
@hard hollow just found this tip for de-warping resin prints: https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/tools_techniques_and_reference_materials/f/13/t/46758.aspx#:~:text=Once resin gets hot%2C like,water to lock it in.
