Hia Scott, I hope all is well with everything for you esp the new child on the way.

How well do Matter and Apple home play together? What I am trying to figure out is if I can use a ESP Thread Border Router board instead of Home Pod Mini as the "hub" in a way that is seamless for Apple Home.

[strong acorn]

"If you have iOS 18, you can add and control Matter accessories to the Home app without a home hub" https://support.apple.com/en-us/102135

[eager matrix]

Thanks, maybe I'll take a look at Home Bridge on a RPI.

[tulip kestrel]

hay scott did you make the circuitpython powered Gameboy cartridge? if you did is it possible to make a circuitpython powered ds/3ds cart?

[open surge]

I'm working on writing docs for an open source project while I listen to your stream. 🙂

[timid plover]

where are the codes like "P" defined ?

7.7.7 ? 🙂

the min measured value was an arbitrary number ( -27315 ) did you notice they use out of band type data as special flags?

is there a heuristic that would help the reader to transform from python-like names, to find things in the specs

can you build an exception spelling list for Ruff ?

what tools would help determine the "derives from" ?

[tulip kestrel]

would mater work on pc like my windows pc running python or some other program/language?

ok i was wanting to ask because if it can work naively on my windows pc it would be cool to have my status of my pc accessible via google assistant.

[timid plover]

what is the "preview" that is not enabled ?

let's dive into new products 🙂

[lyric frost]

The $11 one looked like a carrier board

[tulip kestrel]

apparently people are trying to use a rasberry pi/arduino to emulate a ds cart and apparently the ds carts protocol requires very precise timing and low latency. thay say "... The Pico has special programmable hardware in it which make this barely possible.

The strict timing makes it impossible to use other microcontrollers or microprocessors. Even if you have a regular Pi clocked above 1GHz, it still won't work reliably due to it running under Linux, and interrupting your tight loops for so long that you miss a cartridge clock edge.
As for regular microcontrollers, they don't have nearly high enough clocks to be able to spinloop the CPU on them.

You either use an RP2040-based board, or get an FPGA, there is no in-between.
Alternatively you can get something running above 1GHz, but you need to be able to disable interrupts, which is usually not possible." maybe the RP2350 might work. heres the thread i found this info.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/using-a-rasberry-pi-arduino-to-emulate-a-ds-cart.634743/

[timid plover]

that "nano matter" seems to be related home automation

I was just going to ask support about BLE audio capture

( I should have said bluetooth instead of BLE, sorry )

[old surge]

👋

Do you have a favorite currently-supported in CircuitPython chip? One you reach for first for noodling around with a new project?

Nice. I'd love to do something with eInk in future. Recently picked up an ESP32-S3 reverse TFT Feather

[lyric frost]

I've been playing with Soldered's 10" eInk (esp32). It uses an 8-bit parallel display, so far I've just been trying to understand the Micropython library. I'm thinking I'll need to write a whole new display bus, possibly starting with the spi-bus to pass into the e-ink framebuffer

[old surge]

So no CircuitPython Lego brick color sorting project?

I think ePaper is the future for anyone working in an office/largely on documents

Oh, for sure, reduction in eye strain is huge

Enjoy the time to relax! Have a nice weekend!

oh good glasses are back on

[haughty quiver]

[shell mason]

Lars relay of electricity

[pearl shoal]

That's a great price on the relay

We use the signal relays more than power, but still very handy

If you want to use it w/o a feather, you can just wire to GND and Signal right?

Turn off-time to zero so we can see the full speed 🙂

[shell mason]

one could build relay for bilge pump

[pearl shoal]

Maybe 3V too

I'll look at the schematic while you caht

Yes, JP2 is connected to RELAYSIGNAL which is the pin to activate the relay. You'll need to connect 3V, GND, and SIGNAL

and DON'T close any of the solder-jumpers

Handy for QT-PYs

Hearing protection?

[cinder wind]

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-hop-nigel-sylvester-bar-spin-cycling-bike-tricks-gif-22771880

does DMX have any commands or is it all driven by the host setting brightnesses per channel

[glass stag]

If you put that red and blue on your car, you could get through traffic faster. LOL

[shell mason]

larsOween

[grim void]

RDM, or remote device management, works by sending pulses of data down the DMX line in-between the “normal” DMX commands. While the DMX protocol originally left pins 4 and 5 of the XLR connector open for “future use”, RDM actually doesn't use them either! This is one of the most common misconceptions of RDM.Mar 14, 2023

Looked like most of the architectural examples were skyscrapers with neopixels wrapped around them

I always forget the build commands for unix. Works great for testing non-hardware.

Now ideal would be a hardware emulation layer on it 🙂

[unreal bay]

Is that pygame displayio still outdated? It was good!
You could do the screenshot testing for displayio on Wokwi.com

hi btw

[nova totem]

The hardest part may be writing a fake SPI/parallel "bus" and board. That could create a FourWire bus and then interpret the display commands

[unreal bay]

try os.listdir on "/" or something

got to be careful playing recursive file games (or testing)

[nova totem]

I think the executible for unix has a lot of flags you can provide

[unreal bay]

much better than bitmaps

[old surge]

3.3, wow - seems so old

[unreal bay]

what about "run tests" job?

otherwise set unix to allow manual dispatch

[old surge]

Yeah, probably never updated the document from when first written

[nova totem]

One thing I have done, is look at a PR that ran and what the log was for doing the tests, it includes the commands ran to have the tests go

Actions would work too, I just don't understand that (or taken the time to)

[nova totem]

It does

[open surge]

Yes, you'll branch off the current branch

[old surge]

Huzzah! 71 ftw! Lol

(Always educational watching your problem solving)

[nova totem]

Problem solving is one of the top skills I look whenever I'm helping with hiring

[old surge]

Well that's just it, showing how to work out of a problem is not always something that's available from the learn guides, for example

Not to mention that there's no way to include every possible problem area/case

[nova totem]

Livestream vs edited clip are very different types of shows.

[old surge]

I do wish the guides would include a sort of round up of frequently-encountered issues. I bet yourself, Dan H, and all the lovely folks here on the discord who answer calls for help on the regular have a greatest hits of things that crop up

[paper peak]

We do have some of that: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/frequently-asked-questions
https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/troubleshooting

[old surge]

I suppose more what I had in mind was 'in-line' commentary; a sort of 'this step has gone wrong for some folks - here's how to tell/unbreak things'.

All to say, I hope the frequency with which certain questions arise is being accounted for in some capacity to feed back into the guides. (Of course I'm assuming such questions exist, which maybe a wrong-headed approach)

Thanks for the stream! I might be able to watch a live Saturday for the first time in a while!

[paper peak]

I sometimes add stuff to the guides or add a warning box, etc. It's a lot faster for me to paste a link than explain something. Feel free to suggest something that you think should be written down.

[old surge]

I think I'm mostly fumbling to express a possibility I see in expanding the rhetorical situation of the learn guides to capture some of the flavor of the deep dives and help folks make the shift from beginner to intermediate or intermediate to advanced by using CircuitPython as a touchstone for various topics. Totally a coincidence that it's the sort of thing I'm hungry to read 🤓

[smoky island]

I am getting started with the stream now. Looking at a few library PRs then maybe some tinkering on the .org site. You can follow along on twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch or yt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU4ZXN_1kig

Doing pretty well - hope you are, too. Good to see you on this fine Saturday afternoon

[brisk bone]

Hello, I see you are doing PR reviews today, I recently made a small PR to template engine, if you have time, could you take a look?

Is the final goal to remove last comma or to convert to these tags?

[old surge]

Features in a different color 'tag' box?

Maybe just larger or bold text for the features list? Just thinking visual separation

Invert on hover?

Or purple text, and outline as you say

Sharp!

(I was drawing inspiration from the Auto Install button some boards have)

(Very punny, Dan H 😂 )

[brisk bone]

Try any example and put error as second to last line of template

Simplest way to test would be to put "{% endfor %}" after line 16 in simpletest example

[old surge]

(Agreed - attach/remove is a failure of parallel construction)

[brisk bone]

Yes, intentional for better visibility

I just noticed one more variable naming change to do

Thanks for merging

I used it for JSON too 😛

No, the Pico is a microcontroller, with much less power and resources

[shell mason]

2x5 Socket Header: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5327

[upbeat coral]

The PICO(s) also a cheaper way to do some things. I have a couple with versions of BASIC on them displaying to VGA monitors.

[vagrant flax]

Great point, tons of stuff you can do that doesn't need the power of a Raspberry Pi

[upbeat coral]

@vagrant flax yea, and the new PICO2 is even better. The TI-99 world is even using the PICO to update the aging VDP in a way cheaper and easier to use than on FPGA.

yup never got into Pi b/c I usually just need to do simple things like run some LEDs or servos. Never saw the need to run an entire OS for that. Picos may get me on board (no pun intended) for sure

[upbeat coral]

Hmm.. perhaps this NFC project could be accomplished with a PICO. The PICO does do VGA (and even HDMI) display.

[shell mason]

eink for it to show what it have

evening everyone

[cinder wind]

Does it have a speaker so it can make the snk-snk-snk floppy sounds?

[haughty quiver]

haha

[nova totem]

Okay that is pretty cool, I know the pain of trying to "set" servos

[cinder wind]

"oh wait, weird, turns out there's no more room in the Hall"

[thin tide]

It isn't a first. There was one other case of a president in-out-back in office.

[upbeat coral]

Probably same thing they did with Grover Cleveland #22 and #24)

[open girder]

@thin tide that's right, i wonder if they'll change the exhibit since the latest ones have more of a prominent role

curious if they'll make a new bot, or use the same one

Question 1: dose (Pimoroni LiPo SHIM) https://www.adafruit.com/product/3196
work with the pi 4 model b and can this connect without soldering the pins?

Question 2: can the HSTX act as a usb host

[upbeat coral]

Thanks to all for sharing.

[viral sail]

Great projects everyone. Thanks for sharing.

[tulip canyon]

Thanks all, great projects

[strange mantle]

yes it works with pi 4 (and any 40 pin GPIO model pi - but limited to 1.5A)
no it will not work without soldering on the included header

[lavish patrol]

That sounds like a robot made by Studio Ghibli...

[vagrant flax]

I agree! I tried hard to improve my original mod where I had to pretty much carve out the inside as well as dremel a hole in the shell

[old surge]

Was going to say these Parsecs sure do get a round

[lavish patrol]

JP wanted to do this a while ago but he kept circling around it.

[tulip canyon]

vectors in CircuitPython would actually be great.

[old surge]

A wild Lars appeared!

[cinder wind]

yeah. I usually create my own class. I think I've seen people use numpy or complex() to do vectors

[tulip canyon]

I struggled to copy code written in P5JS
https://p5js.org/reference/p5/p5.Vector/
Heading() and setMag() would be awesome

[shell mason]

wild lars reanimated

[tulip canyon]

To me some of the linkages are the real impressive thing

[lavish patrol]

@old surge Is that a pun? 😄

[shell mason]

lars might need it own skeleton to be build

Pixel-wise horizontal scrolling would be nice. Vertical scrolling (up or down) would be frosting on the cake.

[gentle flint]

YT chat seems slow, recommenting: ​​There's already a couple of methods in adafruit_display_text/init.py wrap_text_* that will come in handy

[inner spade]

Portalbase for the MatrixPortal has a nice horizontal scrolling scheme.

[gentle flint]

Weird, I posted it, and now it's not there. Not important, probably a me problem

I did a lot of display text stuff recently. One was a take on magtag-literary-quote-clock to use custom cursive fonts on a bigger display, needed to handle baseline alignment. Other is a word clock that uses the animation classes to "scroll" the text; first ease out, update text, ease in from the other side. Curious to see how your project goes.

the circuit python animation libraries

gimme a sec, I'll pull it up

https://github.com/kmatch98/CircuitPython_DisplayIO_Animation

[cinder wind]

yeah this animation lib is pretty cool, definitely should be in a bundle

[old surge]

👋

Just back from work - what's the project today?

Ah cool, so static vs dynamic sizing. Yeah I suppose that predictability helpful when considering right/left justification/centering

I bet being able to specify a monospace font would be useful if you wanted to pre-calculate text in excess of what fits in the view

I'm also reminded of how they layout for newsprint where there will be subtle adjustments to kerning to preserve nice columns

Ah it finally stopped

Btw, an update on a previous question on analog mux for VPP switching… I ended up using an OpAmp with an arduino PWM output to synthethize the VPP I want, uses a single pin and less cabling. Just make sure you use an opamp that can handle 0V input when not using symmetric power for it, like an LM358N, that can output 0V with 0 on input as well. I burnt two other amps before noticing that.

Sorry, green lines. I had to.

I love that RP2040 cart though. If I had a Gameboy, I'd probably pick one of those up...

[lavish patrol]

It's got a Lars detector in it.

It sees Lars as malware.

CRTs are so great: "Hey, what if we point an electron gun at your face! We'll use 27,000 Volts to accelerate a beam of electrons at your face!" "My face? Um..." "Don't worry, we'll put a metal screen in between. And some glass." "But wait, 27 thousand volts? And pointed at my face?"

[lavish patrol]

And just ignore the X-Rays...

It got windy in the workshop, suddenly.

[bronze chasm]

wait, I missed that... what software is that?

[cinder wind]

Bottango I think

[bronze chasm]

Very similar to how I generate board mounts in my SolidPython/OpenSCAD library, spkb. I haven't really worked on adding more boards yet, but it already generates mounts for the Pro Micro and the STM32 Blackpill (and I think I use the STM32 Blackpill one for my RP2040 Type-C as well)

except since it's OpenSCAD, it's all built with solid primitives and CSG ops, but same idea

Super Game Boy only accept/run Game Boy games (not Game Boy Color games, or only those compatible with Game Boy).
Few Game Boy games have special "function" when running on Super Game Boy... like customized decoration around the game, or pre-selecting the color palette... but I have no clue how to put those information in a Game Boy cartridge.

[unreal bay]

👋 hey tim, nice one doing all the How to Install circuitpython buttons!
With the kwargs, how could you avoid that missing error message problem, would you need the base class (bitmap label) to check all kwargs for validity and similarly in this class?

I believe that's correct, the / folder takes precedent, so stick frozen replacement libraries there, then after root folder (/) the priority is frozen then lib

[unreal bay]

like super().super().init() ?

I got hung up on super.super, and seems like __bases__ gives us access to the super super class etc.
looks like its something like __bases__[0].__init__(self) except that would be one level, so print __bases__

this. or self. probably

thanks for trying

[unreal bay]

Ah the old storing state in hidden places 😇 I'd never be caught doing such things chuckle much...
Got a bit more on super,
1️⃣ it looks like __bases__ is only off of the class type, so type(self).__bases__ (definitely in micropy 1.19)
2️⃣ try passing the parent class to skip then self as args, e.g. super(bitmap_label.label, self).__init__ should skip bitmap_label.
3️⃣ The last one was Method Resolution Order (__mro__), but didn't work in micrpython 1.19, which would be

mro = type(self).__mro__
mro[2].__init__(self)

no error, encouraging

I guess you specify the one to call super from

[old surge]

Still going! (onYouTube)

[unreal bay]

yeah didnt spot much on twitch

the parent group / tilegrid can be moved, and the label will be positioned at grid +x and grid+y

I got the impression that every x/y was relative to grid/group/something, but I got a bit confused I must say (and haven't revisited for years)

returning the real screen x + y? instead of the relative to parent version?

I found that model in my head fell down once I looked at the tilegrids too, I was trying to get width+height of groups, but found it didn't include widgets bounding boxes, and had to get from widgets directly. This was many refactors ago

Nice!

so like Max(children.width) each time you ask for group.width, a bit expensive, but would nicely call through to sub group+children

Thanks Tim, thoroughly appreciated!

Hi, there was a question from "diceymango" about monitoring the dish washer to know when it is finished.
Vibration is the option discussed... but the best is a power mesurement smart plug. You can watch a full cycle and see it warm the water, maybe some motor to move water around, ... so it is easy to tell that after x minutes of very low power consumption, the "cycle" is "finished". Just having such a plug and displaying it on Home Assistant was a live changer in my family.
Especially usefull for cycle with variable lenght depending on "dirtyness" of what you clean.

Sourceforge?!? I haven't heard that name in a very long time

[shell mason]

larsforge

[lavish patrol]

Not to be confused with GitLars...

[cinder wind]

oh yeah should totally be NEO_GRB instead of NEO_GBR. Oh wait, that's not a normal ws2812 strip but those weird bulb things

[lavish patrol]

Or Larsiverse

[wind spoke]

Wait, why is it so slow, you change the code and it does not instantly run the new code?

[haughty quiver]

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmxlibraryforar/

[vagrant flax]

I think I know!

I don't think the API for .fill() is R, G, B

it's:

void fill(uint32_t c = 0, uint16_t first = 0, uint16_t count = 0);

[cinder wind]

ahahah yep! hahaha

[wind spoke]

So much for strong typed languages...

[vagrant flax]

ha

[cinder wind]

pixels.fill(0xff0000)

pixels.fill(0x00ff00)

pixels.fill(0x0000ff)

[vagrant flax]

☝️

[bronze chasm]

I'm learning Rust on embedded now, and this really makes me want to do this in Rust 😹

[wind spoke]

And now try to figure out how to convert R, G, B to a 32 bit value... in C. It is just mask and shift... you will feel like writing assembly code. 😉

[cinder wind]

thank you @vagrant flax

[vagrant flax]

Yay! 😄

[lavish patrol]

@vagrant flax 👍

[wind spoke]

In DMX, when you run out of address, you start to use "universe"...

[cinder wind]

I don't use Adafruit_NeoPixel very often so didn't think to look at that 🙂

[shell mason]

LarsUniverse

[cinder wind]

confusingly the API for setting a single LED is strip.setPixelColor(n, r,g,b) where 'n' is the LED to change and r,g,b are the color values. but you can also do .setPixelColor(n,c) where c is a 32-bit number like 0xff00ff

[vagrant flax]

there's also a packed color overload:

void setPixelColor(uint16_t n, uint32_t c);

where c is a hex value

[tulip canyon]

The Uber guide uses intergers
strip.setPixelColor(11, 255, 0, 255);

[inner spade]

It takes a village…

Now I will dream of DMX Xmas decoration...
Forget about WLED and all those easy things, go get old DMZ hardware.

ooo adabot, nice, and hi all

is that stalled one logging whether the request is returning the rate limit info (recently an issue where some endpoints/requests were unexpectedly not providing the rate limit header info)

lol, you wanted logs, you got megabytes of logs

think there was a PR for that so should be ok

[unique cairn]

You should subscribe to webhook events instead of polling the API for data. This will help your integration stay within the API rate limit.
– https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/best-practices-for-using-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28#avoid-polling

[unreal bay]

that's interesting/useful! In this case the rate limit is not requested, but added as a HTTP response header to most/all API endpoints

[unique cairn]

Okay, that makes sense why this wouldn't be the best option in the short-to-medium term.

[tulip canyon]

Can you visulize the log data? Might help see where all the errors show up?

[unreal bay]

timezones / gmt offsets, probably +1hr

oh that makes more sense

maybe github is a touch slower in sync terms, so it is still 0 left for the remainder of the second

looks in the log like you said, the check continues until the job is cancelled

you've got me curious, maybe print the headers from raw.github request

[unique cairn]

What if you search all open issues and PRs from the adafruit org, and ignore results from non-CircuitPython related repos? Basically, try creating an API call with this search query: is:open archived:false org:adafruit sort:created-desc

[unreal bay]

not worth it for 5 replaces, but that kind of find/replace is one of those times I love regex

lol, no it's a perfect example, both ffmpeg and regex are used fantastically when used well or at the right moment, and both have a weird situation that once you've mastered enough of either then your desire to shoe-horn it into every situation grows uncontrollably.

[unreal bay]

i'm awful at python, but I thought datetime was timezone unaware and always used local system time, unless you ask for utcnow

i did hear of some change. but got confused when trying to play in IO circuitpython+python with timezones, and yeah generally avoid timezones like the plague

[old surge]

GitHub's REST API considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by the pull_request key. Be aware that the id of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.
