From the man who brought you Atari and Chuck E Cheese

[gaunt plume]

For some reason, the actual arcade cabinet is larger than I thought i twas when i saw it in learn. It's still mini (< 5') but not micro

[lavish patrol]

It's reminiscent of the video game in "Soylent Green"

[shell mason]

not like have power glove

one not simply make holographic cabinet with that style

[lavish patrol]

JP - Ahah. That's what they thought we would be playing in 2022. It's 2025 so they were not far off. 😄

[shell mason]

PCTG seems now way to print transparent things

[lavish patrol]

Resin printing seems to be the way to go. 🤔

[shell mason]

PCTG is similar to PETG filament

[fast steeple]

I Like PC, Just always leave my print head a mess.

[shell mason]

medical industry use PCTG it seems

[fast steeple]

I should order some feather stacks like that before the prices go up :/

is there a feather breadboard ?

stackers are cheap enough to sacrafice as breadboard

[wind spoke]

Product number for the USB breakout... is that with the 2 port hub?

[cinder wind]

yeah. SKU 5997 I think

[wind spoke]

Adafruit CH334F Mini 2-Port USB Hub Breakout
Product ID: 5999

[cinder wind]

or that

[fast steeple]

wish you could run one core ARM one RISC-V

someone needs to build that 😛

[wind spoke]

PID: 6267 - Adafruit Metro RP2350 with PSRAM
PID: 6309 - Adafruit TLV320DAC3100 - I2S DAC with Headphone and Speaker Out
PID: 5999 - Adafruit CH334F Mini 2-Port USB Hub Breakout

I need a double check on that list. 😉

[cinder wind]

Can't wait to see the "Exploded Fruit Jam" made with all these parts

[fast steeple]

I guess you could stack the 2350 feathers

[cinder wind]

we can't see your screen, JP

[wind spoke]

Take the 2 port hub.

Now checking what I have left in my wishlist...

[cinder wind]

grrr that stupid reset pin on the DAC

[shell mason]

the filament option for you this is clear https://www.amazon.com/3d-filament-dimensional-accuracy-transparent/dp/B08TW5BSFN?th=1

[lavish patrol]

Panic? Panic? What, me, worry? 😄

[shell mason]

lars dont have panic

[tulip canyon]

Can one run http server?

[wind spoke]

I'll try building mine...
Adafruit has been teasing us for too long with that Fruit Jam. We have all kind of learn guide, but we cannot get the product. This is torture.

Beautiful Downtown Burbank... 😉

[cinder wind]

Do you need to hit Sync button on receiver too?

[wind spoke]

I think Erin is an expert on the topic.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

[tulip canyon]

The docs show it uses UDP
https://kno.wled.ge/interfaces/udp-notifier/

Do you have that active on wifi?

[shell mason]

that when you have mesh system

[cinder wind]

UDP should normally be on (it's how DNS works)

[wind spoke]

UDP does not need to be enable... but if it does multicast, then most wifi need that to be enabled.

There is no "enable/disable" for UDP, only a firewall would block UDP, but local on you wifi, it should be fine.

[dawn magnet]

Tnx JP great show

[lavish patrol]

Thanks, JP. 👍

[fast steeple]

yup, thanks. fun stuff as always. I feel better when the experts have to battle to get things to work too. 🙂

[wind spoke]

HAHA I got it working!

I turned on a setting called "Send notifications on direct change"

I think otherwise it would only synce on playlist changes but not my noodling around with the color wheel.

[wind spoke]

Hi, do you put all of the Fruit Jam project in a same folder in the Learn Guide repo?
That would help stay bellow 1000 and make them easy to find.

Good too.

This is JohnPark new music stuff: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/pull/3033

Hi all 👋 As if by magic a new release of the beta datalogging firmware just landed this afternoon!
WipperSnapper Offline Mode for datalogging with an SD card using no-code (ESP32-S2 / S3 / RP2040 / RP2350): https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Wippersnapper_Arduino/releases/tag/1.0.0-offline-beta.3
An Updated help guide now links to the Config Tool to easily create (or modify using import) your offline config file: https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_Wippersnapper_Offline_Configurator/

Not quite live-broadcast related. During Limor's cool demo of graphing via javascript + web-serial she mentioned not having gels as color refs.https://www.stagespot.com/expendables/gel/gel-swatch-book.html

Only $9.95 for a set of sample gels from rosco's industry standards. Shipping is pricey - I bought several sets - they make great gifts.. might even be a cool addition as an item at adafruit.com
(Price is so low I suspect they don't make money on them since they're sales-support items?)

Good evening, @clever summit 👋

[cinder wind]

"what are you syncing about?"

[rich wing]

Matching them would be fastest to do with a third control board and send the control signals to the shoes, would also eliminate audio overload from walking/dancing/backflips, or sync with a time code of sorts and delay the sending shoe's displaying of the code by x ms.

[tulip canyon]

Let that sync in

[rich wing]

Videos of her show when it's done please❣️❣️❣️

[devout crow]

I think you can also sync using ESP NOW as the protocol so you don't need to join a WiFi network.

[lavish patrol]

Is that wher you can have two ESP32 etc. talk to each other, sans WIFI?

[devout crow]

ESP-NOW is a connectionless wireless communication protocol developed by Espressif, designed for direct, low-power, and fast communication between ESP32 and ESP8266 devices. It operates as a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol, meaning devices can communicate directly without needing a central access point like a Wi-Fi router.

[proper prawn]

Hi Tim, happy Friday!

I received, among other stuff, an Adafruit Metro RP2350 with PSRAM which I bought via Pimoroni Ltd (UK).

Yesterday received

[nova totem]

👋

[proper prawn]

Created an issue today on raspberry-pico by EarlPhilHower to get PSRAM functionality for the Metro RP2350 in Arduino activated. Earl immediately created a PR that solved the problem. Now one can select the amount of PSRAM the Metro RP2350 has in the Tools menu of Arduino IDE v2.3.5.

[wind spoke]

I am very interested with what you try right now with the Sparkle... because I installed CP on my TTGO-Watch-2020-V3, and it is ESP32 (old), so less easy to use than the CIRCUITPY drive. 😦

It is likely empty...

f.open("settings.toml","r")

Don't forget the \n when you write your SSID and Password.

Ok, I should have done that... I created the settings but using f.write("blablabSSID='MySSID' ")

You could also try BLE workflow... and ESP32 can do that, right?

The web installer should also be able to create the "settings.toml" file... but it failed for my watch.

I was able to type command via BLE, from the phone...

If you could show how to upload MPY files... don't you need some library that are not build in? 😉

Whaou... great, I need to try that.

[unreal bay]

hey all 👋 Is there a policy on keeping board builds light, I assumed if onboard component then noepixel module should be included in board build, but not dotstars necessarily (although useful)...

[wind spoke]

That hardware has one function... but the most usefull library is missing??? Yeah, strange.

[unreal bay]

it's an early release / board build to be fair

[devout crow]

You should be able to use "circup --host xxxx install -a" to automatically install all need files in code.py

[wind spoke]

I kind of forgot to order a Sparkle when I ordered my "Franken Fruit Jam".

[unreal bay]

I like having the python versions instead of frozen, but as a user you just want it all to work out-of-the-box

[wind spoke]

If you have an *.py file it overwrite the *.mpy or a frozen library... at least that is what I believe.

[unreal bay]

if in the root folder instead of /lib then yes

[upper sandal]

the unofficial policy is kind of to only freeze in libraries on boards that are tight in RAM

like the matrix portal libraries

[wind spoke]

Like M0.

[upper sandal]

well, so far it has been mostly the big libraries

[unreal bay]

And as a new user you can read the code (with python versions of libraries) even if you don't fully get it yet, useful to diagnose other peoples examples + yours

[upper sandal]

like the trinket M0 wouldn't have space even for frozen libraries, though it could benefit from dotstar to save ram when unsing its status led for example

[unreal bay]

Almost need a bunch of checkbox options where you choose to have a build with certain modules frozen in (could do live build or use a load of cached variants)

[wind spoke]

When you have an error message, you get the line number... but if you use an MPY file, it is not really usefull. 😉

[upper sandal]

we could almost do that with the custom build github action

[unreal bay]

exactly

but a gh-pages front end

fortunately circup fixes all if missing modules after update\

[upper sandal]

when there's an exception in a library, I go to the github page for the library to read the matching line, rather than install the py version

[wind spoke]

You already have too many firmware with all the languages and all the merge... you should strive for less, not more.

[unreal bay]

got a stemmaQT to dupont cable, stick in the screw terminals for i2c test?

[wind spoke]

You can read information from the internet (like number of human in space) then turn on that number of neopixel...

[unreal bay]

I find frozen in makes support complex, would be lovely if could be on filesystem partition in lib as mpy instead of frozen into core

[wind spoke]

Was there a way to take a UF2, and add something to it to have additional files on the file system after installation?

[upper sandal]

depends, but not really, on RP2 you can dump the entire flash into a UF2, but on ESP32, tinyuf2 doesn't allow writing to the drive partition

[unreal bay]

I believe there is mkfs.fat32 and then could add what you need, then use uf2conv.py to merge

or maybe you just cat the uf2's together. Each block has the address to flash so it cats together safely I think

Pimoroni did some concatenated uf2 for their micropython builds

[upper sandal]

you can use esptool to dump a full bin including a prepared drive, and flash that back

[wind spoke]

Interesting, I was more interested in a way to do that without the hardware, like in github actions.

[upper sandal]

yeah like Tyeth says it should technically be possible with such tools, on platforms where you can flash the drive with the UF2

[unreal bay]

or my web version 😊 which now supports oEmbed:
https://adafruit-playground.com/u/tyeth/pages/esptool-js-with-partition-table-listing-data-saving-easily-backup-your-device-before-installing-circuitpython-whatever#live-oembed-version-3198638

[upper sandal]

yeah you can't "add" to a drive with a UF2, that would require knowing what's already on it to avoid overwriting the files table and all that, you would have to overwrite the whole drive

[wind spoke]

You have to try that TAB stuff. 😉

[upper sandal]

is it like tabs for tabs ?

[unreal bay]

yeah that's what I wanted, editting secrets but without booting device (assume broken code). Seems fatfs and littlefs should be doable, but I got a bit lost in rp2-land due to some flash size confusion with nuking

[wind spoke]

I hope you can recursively put tabs into tabs into tabs...

[unreal bay]

refresh after making it narrow

[upper sandal]

yo dawg I heard you like tabs, so I put tabs in your tabs

[unreal bay]

give me document/widow widthheight please

ignore that, we know it's "special" and due a revamp

[wind spoke]

By chance, does anybody know or have "watch code" that I can use to play with my "Lilygo T-Watch 2020 V3". I don't want to re-invent the... watch.
Any Playground, learn guide or else? It does not need to be for that watch specifically, but it need to be CP. 😉

[proper prawn]

I just flashed CPY onto my new Metro RP2350. The text in boot_out.txt says: "Adafruit CircuitPython 9.2.7 on 2025-04-01; Adafruit Metro RP2350 with rp2350b". As far as I have read the documents from Adafruit, Adafruit say that the RP2350's now are only type RP2350A (not B)

[unreal bay]

pretty sure the metro rp2350 is B, needs/offers that many pins, and fruitjam

not the feathers tho

[wind spoke]

Yeah, he has a watch...

[upper sandal]

I have a twatch 2020 with a "watchface" on it, let me check

[proper prawn]

@unreal bay tnx

[wind spoke]

I know RetiredWizard played with that watch, and Bill Sideris too. I will see if they posted something.

Oh yeah you made a library...

[upper sandal]

that's the code I have on it

[proper prawn]

I have a simple one: https://github.com/PaulskPt/Arduino-UNO-R4/blob/main/R4WiFi_RtC_NTP_Joy-it_LCD1.28R/SBC_LCD1_28R_Arduino_NTP_Clock_Example.ino

[upper sandal]

and now that I look at it, it looks like the hands are not synced with the time ?

might have to fix that code

[proper prawn]

[wind spoke]

I need to remember that for Hug Reports.

[upper sandal]

not like I read analog clocks anyway 😄

[unreal bay]

give it a second matching alias

[proper prawn]

Mine is using ntpclient

[unreal bay]

even the mini has an IR input, just unpopulated AFAIK

[wind spoke]

I love it when someone in the community give me a hand (pun intended).

[upper sandal]

my code has a feature where if you hold the button for 2 seconds it switches between low and high brightness

[proper prawn]

Thanks Time and all present. Have a nice weekend!

[unreal bay]

Thanks Tim, have a lovely weekend all!

[proper prawn]

Tim

[wind spoke]

Thank you, this was great timing for me to have an ESP32 refresh (I just flashed the watch today).

[upper sandal]

👋

well, it looks like the hands positions in my code needs fixing, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader 😇

[proper prawn]

On the product page of the Adafruit Metro RP2350 with PSRAM (prod id 6267) is this text: "Please note: The Adafruit Metro RP2350 comes with the A2 version of the RP2350, ..."

[unreal bay]

Curious! I think the pinout page of the learn guide suggests GPIO numbers above 30 so maybe it is the B after all. There may well be a confusing revision naming system in addition to the Chip model A or B.
As far as I'm aware all rp2350 chips are affected by Errata E9. See the pinout here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-metro-rp2350/pinouts

A few years ago after thse ISL displays were first released I actually did program a clock with 2 of them. Didn't know how to do 3D CAD stuff yet at the time so no case for it though, but you can indeed stick them side by side seamlessly

I would also recommend some kind of diffuser if possible, these things are bright

if you want to make a grid, also you need to be careful about the heat from the LEDs...I also tried that a while back and it melted my grid lol

how do you set the alarm? 🤔

ah got it

I've wanted to make something like the Stargate Universe countdown clock, but I'd need 5 of these ISL displays lol. Instead have been thinking of using one of those cool rectangular displays to do it

Is this Tristimulus? 😉

Wait, there is a green LED next to the color sensor?

Great, from the camera angle, it did feel wrong to do that. But LadyAda think about everything.

[smoky island]

This morning I am trying out a silly idea I had to transmit data over blinky color LEDs, you can follow along on the stream on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2J74lKmfCQor twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch

[brisk bone]

I recently joined, how about an additional color at the end that would be kind of a checksum of previous 3 colors that were send? Does it make sense when dealing with so few possible values?

Do you have a sensor on both sides of the "connection"? Can both sides detect a color?

If I understand correctly now it is like a color transmitted UDP

[brisk bone]

Could you show how it looks like inside the box?

Nice! And it looks super cool 🙂

One non third party server you could use is: http://wifitest.adafruit.com/

http://wifitest.adafruit.com/testwifi/ give you 200, the previous URL give you 403

[old surge]

Could you explain a bit about how GitHub actions and this server work? (sorry I missed the first few minutes where you also probably explained what you're working on)

Does that mean one part of a test suite (container?) will be serving files to another?

Javascript has a keepAlive method; is there anything similar?

(You were concerned about 'serve_forever' being blocking, just wondering if Python had something similar)

MockServerHandler, then?

Any tips/tricks when working with multi-file programs?

Watching you work on FruitJam inspired my question. Thanks for off-the-cuff remarks; I'd also like to hear if you develop fuller thoughts 🙂

Hello from Belgium

[vagrant flax]

aw the rotary encoder tail is adorable

[upbeat coral]

It looks like Usagi Electrics tube device on his YT channel

https://www.youtube.com/@UsagiElectric

[vagrant flax]

ah!

I know why the matrices are like this

this bit me very early on, and I actually am the one who reported the initial issue lol

yep it's the RGB order of the LEDs

it is, 100%

I had to account for this in my mini marquee text scroller

the only way to know is by trial and error as far as I can tell

🙌

I love the black LED acrylic with these

if you can get the grid right (difficult, since the pitch of the LEDs is so close), you can do both a grid and the black LED acrylic, but it's tough to figure out a mounting situation for that

yeah I didn't like the gels with these matrices either

the color order thing should be easy to fix fortunately, I think you can set the option in code when setting up the matrices

[shell mason]

having those rabbit clocks near rabbit for footage for reaction

[vagrant flax]

yeah you can set it when you initialize the matrix, like neopixels

well, you might still want to make sure to set these in code, even if you do get matching matrices, because:

if other people make these, you have no idea what color order their matrices will be

[shell mason]

Rabbit RTC clock might be fancy

Hey Tim, happy Friday!

With portalbase you get all the network helper stuff, adafruit IO functions etc.
Yeah depends on the NINA-firmware for the airlift boards (which is being extended for ESP32-C6)

frozen module stuff? Shift them all to root folder

lol 0bytes, nice, love the FAT 0bytes insanity

[old surge]

👋

Yeah, that was last week 🙂

Ooo, I'll be looking forward to that!

[unreal bay]

Like a merge props, interesting... Is there some cunning pythonic way or do you just add to a dict (extend) or something?

[old surge]

Like parent/super class?

[nova totem]

👋

[unreal bay]

more like a factory generated class, like it supports X/Y/Z interfaces, but relies on the concrete interface/class implementations

do you also need a fallback to do any defined at the FruitJam class level (like get_attr will only support properties now in peripherals)

[old surge]

Maybe something around Abstract Base Classes/Abstract methods?

As in implementing an abstract method on your "sub" classes for your FruitJam class to access?

Yeah, it's a serious head-scratcher for me at times seeing how one file pulls in from another during runtime (more reason to look forward to your guide!)

[unreal bay]

maybe DAC initialised with different gain settings or something?

[old surge]

I hear it intermittently

[robust hemlock]

Garbage collection and display updates cause all kinds of crackeling on Metro RP2350 with that DAC and display

[unreal bay]

yeah like a sonar reverbed version

Factorio, that's fun

[old surge]

I'll have to watch after-the-fact, but haven't you worked CircuitPython into Factorio before, @smoky island ? I vaguely remember one such video

[smoky island]

Yes, I did one a few years ago integrating a physical button to launch the rocket in the game. I am basically picking back up on that. I got it functional at the time but only really proof of concept level. Now I am trying to get the relavent bits of it into a factorio mod with proper custom entities made for this purpose instead of just hardcoded references to existing entities in the world.

[old surge]

Right on - it'll be really cool to see you building on that project 🚀

[smoky island]

I am getting started for the morning now. As noted working on communicating between circuitpython devices and factorio. You can follow along on yt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ogO9PX3sQ8 or twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch

[unreal bay]

I've been resisting the factorio thing for a while, but this might push me over the edge

oh that's a lovely red button (and the other two)

Nice, thanks for explaining the full cycle.

So Factorio is now the greatest MIDI synth of all time?

I've not played it (just watched), but get the impression you can make anything, loop anything, and decide on anything. Now combined with MCUs

[unique cairn]

Yep, you can convert any MIDI file into a Factorio blueprint that will play the sound: https://miditorio.com/

[unreal bay]

You did make me wonder if we're now at the point of a tool watching youtube with the transcript, then giving you the inferred project code from the video

Yeah both. I read the screen frame by frame sometimes (if I am curious enough), then combined with the general descrtiptions from transcript, must be viable. Two MCP servers, the frame by frame code OCR, then the transcript one, and claude opus at the top orchestrating

[unique cairn]

Was your original code for written Factorio before 2.0? If so, there's likely a few breaking changes.

Yep, logistic groups is a Factorio 2.0 feature.

They're officially called virtual signals (https://wiki.factorio.com/Circuit_network#Virtual_signals).

Double curly braces can be used as an escape sequence for curly braces in f-strings.

[glass stag]

Howdy all

[glass stag]

My experience with Factorio is also nill

We should make a statue for who ever invented tab completion.

The message did go through. Weird, I must have deleted it from Discord accidentally.

Nevermind, it just combined it. It seems I am running slow. Lol

[dim knot]

Adafruit Gift Certificates https://www.adafruit.com/product/3331

[wind spoke]

That factorio hack looks like Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi where you could use the GPIO and link that to red stone (was that possible?).

[smoky island]

I did show something similar to that in minecraft a while back as well. I had a Feather RP2040 built with blocks inside the game that was "linked" to a physical feather and the redstone pins in the game would sync to the physical pins on the real one.

I think on the RPi there was some ability to interact with IO pins as well, but I didn't play much minecraft on the Pi so I'm unsure of the details.

[near tartan]

@gaunt plume I think the Visuino Display support is a bit easier to use 😉

[dim knot]

Oh - this is great!

[nova totem]

Very cool @cinder wind

Pretty sure there was a book, and an electronic kit to connect Minecraft to GPIO on something you connect to your PC. But what?

Hi, all!

[wind spoke]

So the "Minecraft Pi Edition" had a GPIO trick. But my kids were not happy with Minecraft on the Pi and they asked for a real PC and I added a self hosted server.

But that is not the think I am looking for. It was a hack of the server to have a program interact with Minecraft. I don't have the right search keyword to find it tonight.

“PPS stands for Programmable Power Supply, allowing for variable, on-the-fly changes in current and voltage that fall outside of the normal, fixed PD charge rates“

in theory you can also specify the amps, but actually it's only declarative and you have to limit it yourself IIRC.

"Trump said Wednesday that base American tariffs on Chinese goods will increase to 55% and Chinese tariffs on American goods will be set at 10%."
