@dawn bear I think we've all done it...

#

Nvm also persists even if you reinstall circuit python.

wild urchin
#

How many writes does the NVM survive? Are we talking 100,000 writes like flash?

sand lotus
#

Depends on how many bytes you use.

#

The answer was posted in #help-with-circuitpython a couple months ago if you search it. You can calculate how long it will last depending on how many bytes you use in nvm each use.

cinder wind
#

I believe most nvm implementations write the entire nvm block for each write (depends on the chip)

dawn bear
#

If you need to write a long or float, do you have to break apart the number into bytes? Or does the library handle it?

wild urchin
dawn bear
#

@cinder wind Seriously?

sand lotus
#

The rest is all 0’s that you dont use.

dawn bear
#

1000s of bytes 1k's bytes?

#

MBs?

#

A huge Read Modify Write?

sand lotus
#

depends on the board like todbot said so your mileage may vary

dawn bear
#

That would mean you need twice the memory. Wow.

Im using 64 bits on an esp32-s3 and i calculated it’ll take about 3 years to degrade and i’m using it every 15 minutes to hold a fitbit token.

#

Lot to get used to with micro controllers.

cinder wind
#

Most flash chips have around 100k writes per sector. And a sector is 4kB or 8kB

dawn bear
#

Ah more like a disk. Got read modify write. I gather the maker knows they need a sector buffer.

cinder wind
#

The downside is you have to write a whole sector, even when changing a sjngle byte

Is 3v max or can you power from a microcontroller 3.3v directly?

lavish patrol
#

Noice.

sand lotus
#

Maybe with a resistor to get 3v?

shell mason
#

lars as lego could be fancy

cinder wind
#

Yep always need to limit current

dawn bear
#

*There are no series resistors installed in the strand, if you want to use another supply you will need to calculate and solder in a resistor. Like most warm white LEDs these have a forward voltage of about 3.2V and a current limit of about 20mA *

sand lotus
#

Looks nice

cinder wind
#

coin cells have a high internal resistance, so don't need a resistor with them usually

sand lotus
#

Yeah but coin cell don’t last. Usb power is nicer to plug in the back.

#

Im ok with coin cells for wearables though. For permanent install a resistor down to 3v would be nice.

#

The warm white is a very nice color.

Good afternoon sir

#

Hello, friends.

sand lotus
#

Boards and add-on boards galore in Circuit Python.

brazen grove
#

ehlo

sand lotus
#

There should be a way to set a preference to keep tabs in memory if you close a browser window.

#

I think the circup last week was targeting use for ESP32 V2 boards because they can only use web workflow?

#

Though any boards will be able to use it, it will be especially useful for V2 owners (ESP32 classic microcontroller).

#

So if it's a single library .py file replace but if it's a directory library folder then recusrively delete, though I've never seen a library have folders inside the lib, yet.

#

well i think in linux it won't allow you to delete a non-empty directory... maybe that's what i'm thinking of.

#

so you have to delete everything in the folder, then delete the folder.

#

which is a nightmare if there are a ton of folders in folders

grand tusk
#

This is awesome. I'm making various projects that will use web workflow.

sand lotus
#

would require a make build with the pr? i'm horrible at that.

grand tusk
#

No build, just run the PR python.

#

(make a new venv)

sand lotus
#

yeah over my head. the extent of my python is using esptool.py don't even have circup :/

#

i almost exclusively use numpad but my #1 is broken. i need a new keyboard just because of that.

#

your keyboard is for aliens anyway 😛

#

you should probably buy like 10 of them in case they stop making them. transitioning from that kind of keyboard to something else would be very difficult.

#

holy regex batman

unreal bay
#

Could get IPs from circuitpython.local

sand lotus
#

Windows only has 26 letters available to it to assign to drives that are added to a computer, two letters (A and B) are reserved for floppy drives. Once it runs out of letters to assign, the next drive that is added to the system, that is not a floppy drive, will not be assigned anything Ohhh ghost drives

unreal bay
#

Need mdns to work, but IP always works

sand lotus
#

yeah if you don't use it daily you will definitely forget what makes up different types of packets.

unreal bay
#

In Mac it's bonjour service, Linux was avahi-tools package I think. But mDNS is a local broadcast based system, doesn't always forward along meshes and some routers etc so well, and many oses used to need it installed.

sand lotus
#

because of watching your stream and work flow style i figured out how to highlight indent and dedent. really comes in handy when indentation is part of the syntax.

#

in Mu it's shift+tab to dedent. so useful. 🙌

grand tusk
#

I can test on Windows. Pulling the repo now.

#

What is it that I am testing?

sand lotus
#

Gonna take off my brain is tired, have a great night.

grand tusk
#

Okay, new device, going to install adafruit-bitmap-font.

🇸🇪 👋

#

I am currently documenting an Arduino library I have been working on. Also doing code cleanup.

sand lotus
#

Why specify the colors instead of using bitmap palette shader?

#

I think the bitmap palette will give you a lot of colors to choose from anyway, depending on the bit depth and colors in the bitmap.

#

I missed the beginning. Yeah animation want to keep limited colors. Though i’m on 12 panels where glitching colors and lines is an issue with so much data.

#

I didn’t start seeing artifacts until i went above 4 panels. I’m really pushing it with 12.

#

Invert wont do aliasing to my knowledge. It only inverts the pure colors, doesnt invert with transparent colors

#

Convert to monochrome, then invert?

#

Never tried that. I know you can reuse the shader on multiple images which comes out with really neat effects. Using the shader from bmp1 to bmp2 makes bmp2 looks artistic.

#

Melissas message board might have an example

#

Oh wow you’re scrolling a widget? Didn’t even know that was possible.

#

What is super()?

#

I think theres a 9x bundle now? Are you using that?

inner spade
#

I think of super() as “starting” the parent so that its properties are initialized and become ready to be inherited.

sand lotus
#

Just me or is scrolling not as smooth? Seems jumpy.

inner spade
#

I think that’s a camera artifact.

sand lotus

Ah ok

Whenever i get that on 9 alpha i use the .py library

Yup, sweet live streams. When he is not getting annoyed by the chat. 🙂

#

I added MQTT suport to his WOPR, so it might be controlled from the live chat as well.

sand lotus
#

Looks good to me. Is this for an example or library as to why you don’t want to hardcode it to center?

#

Lazy day here, raining, trying to find some indoor projects so i’m 3d printing stuff.

#

What esport?

#

I don’t follow esports anymore. Just 🏈

#

I used to play quake, counter strike, tf2, day of deafeat, call of duty, StarCraft and other games competitively in amateur leagues, semi pro with pool money.

Font is scaled. Pad scaled too?

sand lotus

Too many cheaters ruined it then played Minecraft, cheaters there too.

noble grove

Good point.

sand lotus
#

It’s nice to watch sports you’re not participating in, no skin in the game.

#

Basically color blending with a background color.

#

Try color mode overlay

#

Now you can use hue and saturation to get the rest of the way

#

Figured it would be pink. Use hue and saturation to make it brighter red and saturation to make it darker.

#

Looks good 👍

Exactly, and DIY saves you ~ $300

though TBH the $300 is a button box and CB kit in one, so it might be worth it for total immersion

mine comes in about $60 , and $30 of that is the mic itself which you can get cheaper

Hello

sand lotus
inner spade
#

👋

brisk bone
#

Do you know how does the circular screen behave in terms of dimensions, like how does one define a resolution for it?
Is it like rectangular screen but with some pixel simply not present so x=0 and y=0 is outside the screen?

unreal bay
#

That's my understanding too

#

Hi all

sand lotus
#

Mine came with no code. Had to flash with python esptool.py too. Not a big deal but could be for a beginner. Nice to see them preloaded with something now.

sand lotus
unreal bay
#

Here's a question for you...if I display a bitmap partially obscuring a QR code, would it be expected to render more slowly over the area that obscures the QR, due to having to work out alpha or pixel?

#

Adafruit qualia library for circuitpython, I've been using for Bar320x820

grand tusk
#

Ahoy!

sand lotus
#

Yes it thinks its square

grand tusk
unreal bay
#

Yes but face only half covers

grand tusk
#

Squirrel!

sand lotus
#

Imagine 720px radius. It doesn’t show each corner.

unreal bay
#

Yeah simple not fancy, hidden true then false on "smily face"

bright prawn
#

I would think there has to be an additional data lookup to compare against alpha value if you're doing masking vs. a raw render (which would overwrite), but typical law of memory is that reading is faster than writing

sand lotus
#

Possible but with that many px its a little slower. I mean the display is huge for a microcontroller

bright prawn
#

I believe the final output of the display is updated to the display after all operations have finished for that 'frame', no?

unreal bay
#

Looked that way, I'd hoped if the top bitmap (face) was not using transparency in palette, and QR was fully obscured then no impact, but wishful thinking

#

No neopixel and no uf2 bootloader on most qualias.
Also web usb cpy install is missing latest bootloader. factory repair bootloader uf2 works

#

Also latest release on tinyuf2 GitHub

sand lotus
#

First batch of the boards didnt have tiny usb. There wasnt even a library yet. Big hug to Melissa for getting all the inits wrapped up.

grand tusk
#

+100

unreal bay
#

Go for factory reset with bootloader

sand lotus
#

Get the bin instead of uf2?

bright prawn
grand tusk
#

The display does 'freak out' during circuitpython auto-restart.

sand lotus
#

Just a combined .bin just to get circuit python on there and then later can drag and drop uf2’s in the future.

#

Put the .bin in the file chooser thingy.

unreal bay
#

Connect, erase, pick bin file, program, reset board (offset is default for factory reset)

sand lotus
#

This is actually a good idea to follow instructions. In the future can just link people to this video.

unreal bay
#

The board is listed as TFT experimenter, but on latest tinyUF2 it's updated to Qualia

sand lotus
#

Cool that new releases come with a blank settings.toml too

#

Tio* open all the things!

unreal bay
#

Not yet (frozen in qualia module)

sand lotus
#

Unsure if there is a rtd on it yet

#

Good question no idea

#

What I have for Todbot's QTeye

#

has a weird ```py
from displayio import release_displays
release_displays()

#

why? i have nooooo clue.

bright prawn
#

maybe wrote a panic reset due to some stuck init state concern and forgot about that

sand lotus
#

it's kind of the wild wild west for qualia displays right now. there are a LOT of them in quick succession. so fast the software is just now starting to catch up.

#

Using Melissa's round ruler ondiskbitmap example is nice.

unreal bay
#

Think it happens in qualia.graphics.__init

bright prawn
#

that makes a lot of sense

sand lotus
#

It's only on the round 720x720 4" round guide page

#

that ruler image isn't on the round21 learn page

#

yesss i was wanting to make arcs.

#

someone beat me to it. arcs will be very useful

#

with customizable radius? that would be nice.

#

First time mine booted up I got a ton of banding. Was able to wrangle it in by adjusting some of the timings.

unreal bay
#

Be great for some sonar / radar thing

sand lotus
#

i think there are gauge widgets yes

#

JPosada i think

#

I wouldn't doubt if CGrover did it either.

bright prawn
#

Would angle=360 with x segments create an x-sided polygon then?

inner spade
#

Yes, a Eurorack “VCO” module

grand tusk
#

Looks like an infernal device, lol.

bright prawn
#

Cool, thanks!

grand tusk
#

Looks amazing.

sand lotus
#

woah... just trying to update mine to alpha 5 and holding down the boot button turns part of my screen yellow.

inner spade
#

Arcs will simplify this electric eye widget, too. Had to do a few overlapping shapes to get this to work.

image0.jpg
#

A 6E5 Triode Indicator tube.

grand tusk
#

That's a way cool widget!

#

qualia = Qualia(Displays.ROUND40, url=TEXT_URL) is sooo much better than including the init in code.py nicely done Melissa. Just got my qualia online.

inner spade
#

Check line 100 where it’s set to None

sand lotus
#

how are you setting up the display? I have qualia = Qualia(Displays.ROUND40, url=TEXT_URL) but it complains display not defined.

#

when using with arc

tulip canyon
#

Hey Tim, hey all. Joined late. Looking forward to re-watching.

#

👍

sand lotus
#

that works. got an arc example going. nice.

#

i would have never figured out display = qualia.display

#

not a fan of requiring portalbase a bunch of other libraries. :/

#

for the default example which is the wifi simpletest it requires portalbase. yeah didn't figure out might not be required until now.

grand tusk
#

Oh that sonar is sweet, @smoky island !

unreal bay
#

perfect for this Time of flight sensor on a mini tank, turns to scan direction to move in after encountering an obstable

sand lotus
#

can't change circle fill background color to anything other than black?

#

oh that's just the center dot color nvm

#

on the 4" round i get noticeable flicker, bigger the display the harder it is to refresh

tulip canyon
#

Some inspiration

9k.png
bright prawn
#

rplidar points too

sand lotus
#

sure you can tim, if you dither in a checkerboard then replace color, you could do it

#

add in some cgrover palette fader and yeah that's doable

#

ohh it's vector, not a bitmap

#

well just saying you could do it with a bmp rotating

#

lamba delta pi rodger roger

bright prawn
#

x = cos(deg) * radius + center_x
y = sin(deg) * radius + center_y

where deg is radians

grand tusk
#

Thanks Tim!

inner spade
#

Simple phosphor brightness fading is fairly easy to simulate if you’re not trying to achieve the look of transparency. Phosphor displays don’t have transparency in real life but have persistence that gradually dims.

grand tusk
#

Great for editing, also built-in AI Ghostwriter.

unreal bay
#

instead of concatenate an end i think

rigid crag
#

right - np is only being used to slice a string (the one dimensional list) into a matrix

grand tusk
#

I pinned adafruit-blinka-displayio=="0.11.1", but I can test the new version when it's ready.

#

Sure, I'll give the circup PR a try.

rigid crag
#

yea, if you have pygame screen, you could blit directly to the screen

#

the refresh_area is used to efficiently update an existing screen buffer only with changed rects

#

that sounds like they optimized for memory - keeping a lot of sub rectangles is a memory heavy pattern

#

it worked, so that's a W

#

yes, flip IIRC is required to take the buffer and transfer to the active buffer

#

do you need to coerce it to bytes() ?

#

there is a SO reference to doing that for PIL by using io.BytesIO(received_data)

#

woooo

#

it's ensuring that the transmit buffer is sized appropriately for the color depth beyond 8bit (the default)

#

a bit depth of 0 will force pygame to introspect and choose the best bit depth

#

how can the removal of those comments impact the code flow? I'm confused

#

put a sleep after the flip - does it require time to execute before the GIL or environment changes?

#

yep - this smells like a race condition

#

thread errors like that means that something is doing a very unsafe memory operation and the race condition is impacting who wins

#

actually - is that the appropriate place to call flip()?

#

yea, that would force the pause to honor the internal clock tick

sand lotus
#

good morning ☕

#

time.sleep(1) is still a sleep based on time delay.

rigid crag
#

try pygame.display.update() maybe - it's an alternative to the full on buffer swap

sand lotus
#

sleep is sometimes needed for a hardware required delay. if you go faster than a chip requires then you risk not initializing the chip correctly. only reason i can think of for a required time delay.

rigid crag
#

welcome to the world of threads and thread syncing

#

auto-refresh feels like fancy for a fancy sake

#

(in bear's world, that's a lowercase "s" sin)

tiny grove
#

A bytearray is just mutable bytes; the read interfaces are identical.

rigid crag
#

yes that is what continue does

clever summit
#

🇸🇪 👋

rigid crag
#

that loop is saying "if we are not auto refreshing and we are forcing" then just force a full update, otherwise do the fancy update stuff

#

O M G

sand lotus
#

I've been running into a lot of that wit 8.2.7, stuff that just worked in 8.2.2 is failing all over the place.

rigid crag
#

if we have threads doing unsafe operations then it's going to be a coin flip if the memory being accessed has good data or bad data between runs, when it's bad then the code is reading bad and failing

#

save your traceback

#

so the hook where the thread refresh can be triggered is not being established?

#

this explains your import order oddness

#

add an attribute exists check to that to make it safer to call out of order

#

add a check that there is an existing display during that _auto_refresh check?

#

that could be, a "normal" pygame display over spi - that extra delay would mean it never happens

#

it's messy, but you could add a semaphore to flag when display init is done, use that as the gate for the background check

#

thanks for the fun exploring this code

sand lotus
#

thank you for the stream, hopefully will get it all figured out. have a good weekend.

question for the engineer -> I'm trying to get the braincraft hat or voice bonnet audio to work on the pi 5 bookworm, the github repo from the learn guide doesn't work on the pi 5 bookworm. How or where would I look for an alternate install to play audio. I don't know where to look.

Great explanation. Trinamic is a leader in quiet motor control.

I think they do some back EMF monitoring, too.

But you can always turn off microstepping, too, if you want them to sing! DJI drones actually use motor control to play their signature startup sound.

@open girder Can the EyeSpi do 8-bit parallel, or should I use something else for max refresh?

What is the easiest way to create a gui for a small display using circuitpython?

displayio.layouts

It mostly relys on x/y coordinates for element placement... which should be pretty straightforward to learn.

Fritzing is nice to document breadboard stuff

cinder wind
#

Kicad 7 is much easier and better, so if you do look up Kicad tutorials, make sure it talks about Kicad 7. The older tutorials work but things are much simpler now

Fritzing is no longer free, I think.

There's a Discord for KiCad also btw

Discord & IRC

Discord Discord is a group chat platform originally intended for gamers but now popular for use for anything! Bringing modern chat features to the table, it is easy to use and cross platform (desktops and mobile)
IRC Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a group chat system that is popular in many open source communities. There is a very active community...

Ah for us Windows users we have to download Fritzing. Maybe it's free but the ability to import libraries is cut off. I had to buy it... I'm always making schematics for github stuff so it was worth it.

I got some of them motorized faders. Haven't hooked them up yet. Maybe I'll make a mobile out of them and call it "Flying Faders"

Start your code with a Ctrl-C/Ctrl-D, don't save. The USB enumeration time is eating your first prints

The joy of editing, I know it well

For CV in the simplest use cases there's already a couple of 16 fader banks that operate 16 outs.

whole cave
#

link to the mouse/desk pad? is that an adafruit product?

inner spade
#

Looks like the middle of the fader setting is the baseline of the waveform.

#

With a recent change to synthio, setting all the faders to the same level can act like a CV voltage, minus to plus. Thanks jepler!

wild urchin
#

...Interesting!

cinder wind

that chatter is also because all the I2C traffic you're doing

from reading the ADCs

Could you make that TRS into a MIDI A TRS?

haughty quiver
whole cave
wild urchin
#

And invert the code for the faders, so the lower the fader value is, the higher value you send on the CC for the drawbar.

At least I assume the Hammond would want higher numbers for the further out the drawbar is.
