that was my thought that we could just add it all to printable characters instead of a separate json? i struggled with that.

noble grove
#

I meant in the definition for the soft_keyboard a way to have layer_up, layer_down, and layer_n keys that would change the soft layout on the fly the way that it works on hard keyboards.

sand lotus
#

layers would be another way to do it yeah. i don't think that's the way it works right now. actually pretty much the issue he's working on right now.

#

yeah now we're at the problem i was pulling my hair out for a couple days and just gave up and moved onto to something shiny that caught my attention.

#

do what you need to do i'm just along for the ride. i'm sure whatever solutions you come up with will be better than mine because i couldn't get past this part.

#

ahh this is awesome, that's neat. never thought of doing it that way.

#

init_layout(self, self.x, self.y)? just bring them down from above?

noble grove
#

are width and height in pixels or keys?

sand lotus
#

well both eventually will be in px and grid layout sizes.

#

so you can customize the x,y start point, grid sizes, cell sizes, padding, etc..

noble grove
#

indexing from the top of the screen instead of the keypad?

sand lotus
#

i think it's just the titano speed. my feather s3 loads much faster.

#

i was so far from this kind of solution, not even close.

noble grove
#

Oops

#

curious

sand lotus
#

i would normally start removing layers and then reappend them

noble grove
#

Is the = from a rogue mouse jiggler?

sand lotus
#

it seems like a layer issue. i've encountered this one many times with touch projects. boils down to not removing and appending layers in the correct order.

#

because it has to redraw the entire grid first. when in doubt print all the things.

#

because it's still in memory?

#

the first time you append something large it is slow, but after it's already loaded it will be much faster. this is my experience as well.

#

this is why i have a splash loading screen that is in the foreground and when everything else loads it removes the wallpaper and everything instantly displays.

#

it's a trick to think the main group loads instantly but it's loading in the background as the splash waits for it to load.

noble grove
#

If you init to a dummy rectangle on init and then switch to the actual layout after all the lines are generated?

sand lotus
#

sweeet! looking good.

#

i''ll definitely check this out tonight.

#

or whenever you push

#

Now we just need a version that can be built into CircuitPython for use with the REPL. 😏

sand lotus
#

have an awesome weekend present Tim!

inner spade
#

Thanks for the stream!

sand lotus
#

is that your main interest to use with repl?

#

is that a thing? sounds neat.

noble grove
#

Thanks Tim

inner spade
#

I sometimes need to play with a stand-alone PyPortal’s REPL after a crash.

sand lotus
#

mmm that would be frustrating, most you can do is reset.

#

i don't see how a large soft keyboard would help much but prove me wrong. 🙂

#

your ideas are always awesome i'm sure you could come up with something. it's not even fully released yet and you're already thinking of ways to use it.

inner spade
#

Actually, web workflow with the file editor would be more useful in that instance.

sand lotus
#

for a crash on a stand alone device though? once it crashes the only thing you can do is reset. even with web workflow.

inner spade
#

Crash to REPL would have to be a thing.

sand lotus
#

ahhhh see there's the genius at work.

#

alright i'm out everyone have a lovely weekend.

@lost crag hay I noticed that the openmote page said that it has an SD card support. is that on the back of the PCB and can you post a pick of the back and front of the PCB so people can see all that is included and whare those components are located.

Don't forget the Zipper Case...

#

You can also add a time of fly sensor and a cable to make it take picture of someone getting close.

One tip - the mode on Fancy cam persists. Before you upload a different sketch be sure to switch to the mode you want.

oops they just ran out of stock. 😦 that's why if you're interested in something better get it early during the show.

#

during JP's product pick of the week they set aside a certain amount just for the show.

The Memento fits perfectly in that case. I have a couple and my Arduino Uno fits in there too. Good way to keep dust off the lens when not in use.

vagrant flax
#

I was thinking an OLED screen for this would be useful

ionic crag
#

yes the CNC dongle market is insane pricing

sand lotus
#

then it would be a macropad with the rotary dial.

ionic crag
#

mostly paying for the "plug and play" with specific cnc G code output

vagrant flax
#

a square display would be sweet, one thing about the macropad rp2040 is that the horizontal display is a bit awkward vs the vertically oriented keypad

shell mason
#

egg display could be spooky

sand lotus
#

i think there's a square display for the rgb66 qualia

#

square display is a neat idea because the rotation of the display would be all software.

ionic crag
#

for harsh enviroment housing.... PTEG would be my choice...

sand lotus
#

i would rather have the build plate texture on the bottom of any print that shows great adhesion. though people with glass beds can get an almost perfect shine but sometimes struggle with adhesion compared to a textured surface.

Got a New Ender 3 V3 SE at Microcenter last week. Still breaking it in.

#

I'm half way between one in Atlanta and new one in Charlotte NC.

ionic crag
#

yep.. Memorial Dr, Cambridge, MA microcenter still your local source

sand lotus
#

ah cool you guys did something with the quetimes api 🙂

#

i like the flat bottom so it sits easily. nice design.

#

One tip I picked up from CGrover is you can get the short USB panel mount cables, slice the rubber sheath off (carefully) and it becomes much more flexible for stuffing into enclosures.

ionic crag
#

the DIY USB Cable series... has worked for me in those kind of tight usb to housing situations

sand lotus
#

This way there's no running long cables through the enclosure. Panel mounts are nice.

ionic crag
#

^ yeah the panel mount ones also work depending on turn radius

sand lotus

brazen grove
#

I thought I implemented transparency already

sand lotus
#

I've never tried. I don't think there's alpha channel though.

#

which isn't alpha channel needed for transparency?

brazen grove
#

not for indexed pngs

#

and non-indexed ones are not supported at the moment anyways

#

because I never bothered to implement the line filters

#

this could be an interesting hacktober fest ticket, by the way

#

implement grayscale and rgb pngs

sand lotus
#

ah i think that's what was stopping me from using true color pngs... though i've found out that i can generate an 8-bit png from the github avatar but unsure if it's indexed 8-bit.

brazen grove
#

another one would be to re-implement gif images in imageload using gifio just like it does with jpegio

#

you would load only one frame

#

(to be correct, you are supposed to load all the frames and superimpose them one over the other)

sand lotus
#

ohhh please share your cookie cutter form! yes i've definitely not tried using cookie cutter because it's daunting, absolutely daunting.

#

i missed the liveshow last night

sand lotus
#

I do have about 2 or 3 libraries that I could contribute to the community bundle with it.

#

and i've avoided doing that because cookie cutter is ugh, too complicated. looking forward to trying out your web form.

#

will i stil have to fight pylint/black or ruff?

open surge
#

Beeware is a set of tools to package Python apps into real apps

brazen grove
#

there is also pyscript, which lets you use micropython instead of javascript

sand lotus
#

haven't had a chance to look into the soft_keyboard update is that pushed? between that and jpg imageload and now png imageload updating i'll be plenty busy with my GUI projects. 🙂

brazen grove
#

I left a comment for a possible improvement for memory handling

#

yup 82

unreal bay
#

yeah pyscript (wasm + micropython in browser), siper cool. They have some interesting stuff and it's constantly changing(improving) recently / this year,

sand lotus
#

transparency is easier to see if you put an image wallpaper behind it.

#

almost all my projects use full screen wallpapers.

brazen grove
#

no it didn't

#

I just skipped any unknown chunks

#

yes, that's what it does

#

use the eyedropper on the transparent area of the image

#

the palette entry still has a color

sand lotus
#

auto transparency will be awesome. though i'm used to the manual transparency and reordering pallete colormaps in gimp. something i never knew how to do before getting into circuit python. it became a necessary thing to know how to do.

brazen grove
#

the transparency info is saved separately

sand lotus
#

that's so cool

#

png might be my new go to format after this. will it still be 8-bit indexed or just 8-bit? or true color? i have no idea.

brazen grove
#

true color and gray scale require a little bit of extra code

#

because they use a simple form of pre-processing on the line

sand lotus
#

transparent png could still have a lot of uses vs indexed bmp. i think it'll be easier for beginners who don't know how to reorder an indexed color map.

brazen grove
sand lotus
#

recently when trying to use png imageload sometimes i'll get errors that filters aren't supported. i have no idea what that error even means. will this address that?

brazen grove
sand lotus
#

ah so i need to convert it to indexed?

#

well it's downloading straight from github avatars so that puts me in a tough spot. :/

brazen grove
sand lotus
#

i looked into some old documentation about adafruitio image formatter but they might have removed it because i couldn't find anything in adafruitio recent docs.

#

there was a really old reddit question that referenced it, but nothing recently.

#

yeah there's something inside pyportal, something lead me to that route too. :/

#

but there was an article that aluded to adafruitio having some kind of image-formatter, undocumented perhaps.

clever summit
#

Hey Tim.

#

resize isn't an issue. i have an api for resize. what i need is a format converter api. :/

#

and deshipu's contributions are always appreciated and great too. made a great foundation for png.

brazen grove
#

@smoky island can you link to the PR?

#

it's i2c, it's two wires and power

brazen grove
#

thanks

sand lotus
#

a long time ago they didn't update the product page for every little silkscreen change or even revisions. they started doing that within the past couple years.

#

i just checked that they do have the pink version of the rp2040 listed in 2022 as a change. the pink pcb's were very pretty and you can't get them anymore. it's weird but i cherish my pink rp2040's because they're rare now.

#

yeah only the keyboar and the feather rp2040's were pink. i got so many free pink keyboars that i started giving them away with the TR-Cowbell. think i probably still have 10 pink keyboars.

#

I shipped one to DGlaude and he was stoked to get a pink keyboar. Where's he's at they might have been impossible to come by.

#

i wire up in any order. doesn't matter because you'll end up having to change the init code as you go anyway. at least 1 soft reboot just out of habit anyway so as long as you get the right wires it probably doesn't matter.

#

even if you plug in 3.3v first it'll just float the ground and not work anyway.

#

what does matter is when trying to hotswap i2c or spi. JP always tries to hot swap i2c in his streams and it never works but he always tries. 🙂

#

print after sleep to confirm successfull sleep.

#

or that.

#

hmm i didn't know about display.sleep(). interesting.

#

i'll have to look into the ssd1306 library and see if it's something i can implement on an external display. good for power savings?

inner spade
#

For TFT displays, turning off the backlight is a huge power savings step. Reduces heat significantly, too.

sand lotus
#

10ua is pretty good.

#

great for battery powered projects.

#

someone would have used something like a power profiler.. or a real oscope to measure the microamp draw while off.

#

if someone went through the trouble of power profiling it down to 10ua it can probably be trusted as a real result.

#

is your text area dimensions correct for the display dimensions?

#

try something like ```py
text_area.remove(splash)
text_area.append(splash)
text_area.text = "whatever"

#

interesting if you can update the display while it's asleep. i feel like that's probably not a thing that should work if it's sleeping though.

#

looks like you figured it out, ignore that.

#

text_area.text has to be after the append.

#

try with a label instead of text area?

#

maybe an issue with text area.

old surge

Always of interest, just not always of direct relevance 😉 I suppose I'm mostly interested in learning/observing the process. I've been trying to get a dev environment up and running recently

brazen grove
#

the _send function iterates over the data anyways

#

so instead of doing a costly operation of creating the list, you can make it add the command to the beginning in the _send

glass stag
#

Awesome stream. See you tomorrow.

brazen grove
#

basically instead of doing bytes([command]+buffer) you would do buffer, command=command and then handle command in _send

#

in the other branch of the if

when it's a COMMAND

@arctic abyss do you or anyone - to use OBS for Show & Tell is there a stream key or server reference to put in the configuration or is that published possibly near show time on Wednesday? I did see the helper page about OBS and StreamYard but beyond the link ref to this Discord chat I do not find. Or as I'm looking now above do I just point OBS to https://adafruit.it/live ? Maybe I just answered but thanks for confirming. Jim

Paul thank you! I wondered but I thought I'd start there. Yes as I use OBS for streaming out to another Discord community event is why. I don't know StreamYard but sounds like that is the server source and I choose OBS as the webcam option. I will check out the config on it then. I first thought StreamYard was just another a/v communication option to stream. Anyhow thank you! Jim

Hot off the silicon press! RPi releases the RP2350 microcontroller

https://youtu.be/n5j3Y2Naao0

goooooood morning defcon attendees and all fans of microcontrollers - today is launch day for RasPi's new microcontroller the RP2350! This chip has dual core Arm M33 (or RISC-V) processors, 520K RAM, 3 PIO state machines, HSTX peripheral, TrustZone security and better low power capabilities. an excellent upgrade to the RP2040 - RPi took everything folks asked for and baked it in to this upgraded chip. it's also available in two package sizes: a QFN-60 (similar to the original RP2040) and a chonky QFN-80 with plenty of GPIO for driving 16-bit-wide peripherals or 3D printers.

The Pico 2 is also announced, it has the same pinout/peripheral connections as the original Pico but now with 4MB of flash and of course the RP2350. Adafruit has two designs coming out to start. First is Feather RP2350: a Feather pinout with 8MB flash, PSRAM spot, Stemma QT, SWD debug, NeoPixel, and a 22-pin HSTX port. Coming soon is the Metro RP2350 which brings 'Arduino Shield' compatibility - this has all of the above plus a MicroSD slot. There will be more soon once we stabilize our schematic so look forward to QT Py, KB2350, and maybe even a 'Grand Central' board!

`I wonder if @rapid hornet will be addressing rp2350 topics in Deep Dive today

  • how could the secure features help some people address keeping circuit python code secret - I assume this is a small population
  • how would external PSRAM enlarge the space of problems addressed by CP
  • hardware floating point and DSP? speedups solving other CP issues?
  • are there any other Cortex-M33 enhancements
  • does the internal 2MB flash RP2354A and RP2354B get CP support? ( didn't check maybe it does already ? )
  • how much of micropython support does CP inherit?
rapid hornet
#

haha, I'm excited for the questions!

sand lotus
#
  • Are custom builds needed if external PSRAM is added?
  • Adafruit sells the only 8-SOIC PSRAM chip on digikey (8MB). There is a 32MB chip but it's FBGA.
  • How likely is it that Adafruit will support the 8MB PSRAM build for the feather even though it's a physical addon?
  • Will Adafruit eventually sell the RP2350 feather with 8MB PSRAM soldered on?

# sand lotus Is RISC-V easier for FPGA's? I'd love to see FPGA graphics accelerators for dis...

wikipedia RISC-V page mentions:

SERV[123] by Olof Kindgren, a physically small, validated bit-serial RV32I core in Verilog, is the world's smallest RISC-V CPU. It is integrated with both the LiteX and FuseSoC SoC construction systems. An FPGA implementation[124] was 125 lookup tables (LUTs) and 164 flip-flops, running at 1.5 MIPS, In a 130 nm-node ASIC, it was 2.1kGE[124] and a high-end FPGA could hold 10,000 cores.[125]

sand lotus
#

I think Skerr and those doing tapeout have the most advanced knowledge of FPGA's. From what I've learned FPGA in itself does nothing. Someone would have to program an FPGA to handle certain things and all of that is waaay over my head.

timid plover
sand lotus
#

10K cores.. so it's a way to get real multi-threading?

#

There going to be a limit to the power reduction for the RP2350 because 1 core always has to be awake. You can only put 1 core in deep sleep. I'd be curious to know what the lowest power draw will be.

TrustZone provides a secure enclave for your startup firmware.

vapid dagger
#

I'm interested in the dual core + flash partitions in the context of a robot controller that can be flashed with a user program that runs parallel to the preloaded firmware

timid plover
#

you've mentioned tracing support before - have you experimented with that on the RP2350

sand lotus
#

I like that Adafruit went with SOIC-8 as it's easily hand solderable if you buy the feather and 8MB PSRAM chip separately.

#

I've already purchased 4 from Adafruit when I found out that Adafruit is the ONLY vendor of that PSRAM chip 😉

At some point after working on the 2040 a while I was surprised just how much of that datasheet I had read over the weeks/months

If using the RP2354 which has 2MB of internal flash, does code run faster?

Here's a random-ish one for you... I find a lot of instability with flash memory, often self erasing after corruption. Would FRAM solve that (although at great cost) instead of PSRAM?

do you anticipate a learn guide or blog for the display HSTX

cinder wind

4-bit color seems like a great option for info displays: high-res but with useful bits of spot color

sand lotus
#

This is the first I'm hearing of HSTX. I imagine it will be mentioned in a learn guide.

eager matrix
#

Is 8-bit done with a color palette and if so what is the gamut of the result of the lookup?

sand lotus
#

I'm running 800x480 on a feather with the 7" display (using the RA8875 accelerator) but I ran into the same issues where if I wanted more performance I'd have to drop the resolution down... which makes sense. More pixels and color needs more processor and ram.

my mind is still blown that someone figured out how to get HDMI out of a pi pico.

cinder wind

so no more devoting core1 to DVI?

seeing all the bit depth code was cool. nice when things just work. great demo.

calm star
#

leveraging HSTX for SPI displays seems like it's going to be a fun idea. hopefully that peripheral can potentially be usable for things like addressable RGB in scenarios where PIO is limited.

dry shore
#

one weird thing ive noticed, the TMDS encoder block is SIO, so wont that still need a core to pre-convert the pixel data into TMDS form, and buffer it in ram, then dma it to the HSTX/PIO?

sand lotus
#

grayscale looks like it would be helpful for e-ink. unsure if this code is meant for e-ink but with the code you already have should be easier to make it work.

dry shore
#

ah, so youve got 2 TMDS encoders!

shell mason
#

circuitpython on risc-v as hazard3 on it too

brazen grove
#

I do not, I was confused for a moment, sorry

dry shore
#

i had a crazy idea, could you have arm and risc-v threads in a single kernel?
you can soft-reset a core to either mode, so you just need to have a limited kernel build for both, share the state, and reset into the right arch on context switch.....

timid plover
#

I read about emulation of one cpu in the boot loader ( a different kind of kernel )

dry shore
#

ah yes, the circuitpython itself could be arm on core0, for float
but then core1 can be either, and you can dynamically switch and load a payload

sand lotus
#

dedicate 1 core to Arduino and 1 core for circuit python? some things do run faster on pre-compiled arduino.

#

ah a smart check if external psram exists. that answered my earlier question better.

dry shore

#

Yes they figured out it's possible and working on it but it's complicated. I think based on the STM32 port.

dry shore
#

the thing i heard about the 5v stuff, is that its only tolerant when IOVDD is at 3.3v
so if the IOVDD is unpowered, 5v on IO will damage it

#

and rather then explain this complication, they just removed the claim that its 5v compliant

#

you may want to ask somebody higher up, for a confirmation on this

I think SAMD21 or 51 is the most powerful that is compatible with make code arcade. They never added support for newer more powerful boards/chips.

polygon math is never fun, most game dev I did was all in unity so I didn't have to think

#

I think your overlap is only set if there is a collision, the a_in_b is just to cover in case there is no vector because it is encompassed

#

Makes sense, the response is good if obj A is moving fast and maybe you want to use the vector to make sure it only touches B isn't now partly inside of B

#

Shouldn't matter, perspective is just that. Up/down or left/right doesn't matter

I'm planning to build a personal camera and stumbled upon the Adafruit MEMENTO

  1. Is there somewhere else to purchase the Adafruit MEMENTO Camera Enclosure & Hardware Kit? Alternatively could you provide the STEP files so that I can machine it myself?

Hi, everyone!

@open girder Tachyon looks very cool. Since it supports Ubuntu, also, would it be hard to use non-Android OS with a garden variety cellular data plan? (not a pricy industrial IoT data plan)

unreal bay
#

Super cool, the usb-c hub with video converter is a great demo. @slow spire that should be fine I'd imagine, probably an e-sim you just register with your mobile provider (like an old mobile phone number migration)

slow spire
#

@open girder Can Tachyon be powered by a reasonably sized USB battery pack?

brazen quail
#

@Particle Fantastic work !

fierce herald
#

@slow spire yes it can run off a USB battery pack but it also has a built-in power management system for batteries connected through a JST connector

#

@brazen quail thanks!

brazen quail
#

@rapid hornet this looks great Scott. Kudos on the different bit depths !

re: connectivity, the eSIM will have our EtherSIM plan (2GB for $6.99/mo) and also the ability to support other profiles

Two questions: 1. What is a battery that is small enough for a smartwatch, 1-3 days life, runs an arduino nano chip, also uses a RP2040 for certain inputs but would not always be on. 2. What is better for ML/AI request for simple local assistant RP2040 or RP2350? Thanks so much!

I cannot imagine the stress of moving those machines

Congrats on the move, @open girder! I'm sure those machines are not trivial to break down and bring back up

Maybe just a GitHub repo with a README (similar to an awesome-list) and people can submit PRs to add prior art for 3D printing

I never realized how much drama filled the 3D printing space back when I started

Q: do you have modules for adjustable CV/CC step-down? I only found 5V ones on the shop… there are plenty on aliexpress but oddly (or rather, for cost reason?) they all have the shunt on the negative output, so you can't really bridge in/out grounds… Any suggestion on an IC to do this? LM2673 seems interesting but ain't cheap. LM25011 seems a bit cheaper… (I need like ~ 16V 1.5A out)

vivid ore
#

Is that a punch-out kit card?

gray obsidian
#

Is it Mecano® compatible? 😄

gray obsidian
vivid ore
#

Hmmm, those breakouts look oddly familiar. I wonder where Arduino drew inspiration from...

unreal bay
#

Theres a cool EdgeImpulse trained example with rock paper scissors detection using the distance sensor (it senses a 4x4 or 8x8 grid)

slow spire
#

The network effects of joining Stemma/Qwiic will benefit them a ton.

lilac tusk
#

I usually make any sensor breakouts I design stemma QT compatible

vivid ore
#

How many 5V Qwiic/QT controllers even are there? I can only think of the 32u4 boards from at least a decade ago...

oh haven't tried that yet but their blog post was interesting, think it linked the rock-paper-scissors demo

@open girder had a new idea for a new product. A relay board (say 8 relays) in something like a Metro formfactor, but with a pad to accept a Feather. The inspiration is controlling a zone of solenoid valves for a DIY irrigation control system. New super FeatherWingMega formfactor...

BONUS: "weather resistant" case.
