Reverse Retrpbrite

[ionic crag]

yellowing is usualy photo-oxidation.... can be UV... can be Ozone... can be chemical... can be reversed using hydrogen peroxide-based methods. happens to nearly all plastics at diff rates

[vagrant flax]

polymaker is my fave too, it's really good

[ionic crag]

clear coat has UV inhibitor... and also seals the plastic away from oxygen

[mystic warren]

shift doesn't seem to me to be the correct thing... you just want to do "address and 0b1000000"

that's or, not and.

& 0b1111111

to set the big, it's or, to clear it, it's and

*bit

it's doing or on both ways... 1 or 0 is still 1

might work. i'm losing brain cells on the shift. 🙂

it's the first shift. doing >>1 is going to ose the LSBit

lose

just do the &0x7

f

need to type slower. lol

the & will clear the bit, and the | will put it back if needed

so to be clearer... do & 0x7F first, that will clear the bit. then do or with bit << 7

do not do the >> 1

ya, that looks right

put it in a temp variable. foo = self.chip_id

those are decimal not hex

80 is decimal

is the "in" not working?

try "print(chip_id in {x,y}"

0x50 is decimal 80 i think ...

ya, 5x16 is 80

bin 0x50

can't tell... it's not printing in hex

buffer gets overwritten, it's not the old/changed value anymore?

when it prints 50 i think that's 0x50

print the whole buffer after it returns it to see what we're getting back

print whatever it is that we're indexing into

ya that looks right

i'd say only write the first byte

wait...

are the constants correct?

hex vs decimal consts

right

ok, good

that was funky indeed

🙂

Do you have a logic analyzer?

https://hackaday.com/2022/03/02/need-a-logic-analyzer-use-your-pico/

[nova totem]

I'm not watching live but I wrote something up on that a few years ago: https://www.hackster.io/markkomus/using-a-raspberry-pi-pico-as-a-logic-analyzer-with-pulseview-e12543

[smoky island]

Nice, Thank you!

[wind spoke]

Did you try turning it off and on again?

[inner spade]

Thanks for the stream! I was itching to get out the 4-channel ’scope and do some SPI-ing…

[unique cairn]

Does that have any benefits over the Raspberry Pi Pico trick mentioned earlier, in the context of SPI? #live-broadcast-chat message

[inner spade]

For me, it’s nice to be able to see analog artifacts like noise and power issues that could be superimposed on the digital signals. My analog scope has SPI and I2C protocol interpretation which also helps. A logic analyzer is more useful when you need to store a bunch of bus transactions — when analog noise isn’t an issue. The analog scope’s memory isn’t optimized for capturing long data streams.

[smoky patrol]

show and tell today?

[upbeat coral]

I thought I heard them say no S&T or AAE.

[bold roost]

Really? 😿

[upbeat coral]

I'm here anyway hoping I heard wrong

[nova totem]

If true, it is my fault for finally being home on a Wednesday

[smoky patrol]

I was hoping there would be a formal announcement on https://www.youtube.com/adafruit that there are or there aren't shows today?

[dim knot]

I'm not seeing anything on the blog about it either way.

[upbeat coral]

So, anybody here got anything to talk about anyway?

I jus spent 8 hours printing a AA battery storage box and the batteries don't fit.

[nova totem]

Can you jam in AAAs at least?

[upbeat coral]

HOWEVER, I did recover a original Model F IBM/AT keyboard. Cleaned up and WORKS!

Yea the AAA's will fit.

[dim knot]

Did you know there are AAAA batteries as well?

[safe fable]

I was gonna say this turned into a fail and tell chat, but then you start talking about successes.

[upbeat coral]

I though the KB wasn't working because it didn't work on my PICO 56 project. Turns out it needed an adapter and a few more volts/amps.

[safe fable]

Yeah. I had a stylus that used AAAA batteries. The only place I ever saw them on the shelf was at a Menards.

[dim knot]

Next time, crack open a 9 volt battery - there are 6 of them in there.

[nova totem]

Didn't realize 9 volt was AAAAs, knew they had the cells

[safe fable]

I cracked open a few and only one had AAAAs in it.

[upbeat coral]

Another thing I, I troulbleshot the keyboard to the point of complete disassembly three times because the Scroll Lock LED wouldn't come on. Turns out, Easpberyy Pi OS doesn't map it anyway and it worked great on my PC as long as I had it plugged in when I powered on the PC.

[dim knot]

Yeah, I think I cracked open one and it was a munch of carbon rods and dividers, not individual cells.

[upbeat coral]

I gotta find a dead 9V battery now.

[dim knot]

Here is a fun one - 1/2AA

[nova totem]

Does anyone ever actually use scroll lock?

[dim knot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#/media/File:½AA-cell.jpg

[upbeat coral]

@nova totem Nope. Not in the Linux world at least. I learned NOT to use my Pi as a test platform for keyboard functionality.

[safe fable]

I used to have a KVM that used the scroll lock to switch between computers. It seems like I used it before for something, but I sure can't remember what.

[nova totem]

I started to use a Zero 2W to receive radio via RTLSDR

[upbeat coral]

Cool. I got a couple pigeon holed away for a Pi Hole project.

[safe fable]

@dim knot I've seen the 1/2 AAs but didn't know that's what they called them.

That's what I called it, but I didn't read what it was called on the side.

[verbal river]

Well, if there's no show, they could at least point the webcam at the pick-and-place and run some Daft Punk or Philip Glass music. (remember that, @dim knot ?)

[upbeat coral]

Gotta back up on the battery holder. Only one hole in one row is tto tight. Wonder why.

Annnnd.... sandpaper saves the day.

[safe fable]

Would the pick and place be running now?

[nova totem]

What's the holder for? is it (or will it be?) wired to work?

[upbeat coral]

It's just a storage box. Got tired of the open plastic packs dumping out on me all the time.

[nova totem]

I keep looking at new 3d printers. Do I need another no, but could I have one...

[upbeat coral]

I picked up an E3 V3 SE at Microcenter a while back and it's been sufficient for me. I retired my perfectly working Ender 3 Pro that is modded to the bejesus.

My best investment has been my build plate. I got a Cryogrip Pro Glacier.

[dim knot]

Yes Mouse - I recall the days of them just turning the camera on and shipping. 🙂

[upbeat coral]

I also replaced all the wheel type bearings with rails and blocks. Quieted down a good deal at higher speeds

I used to work in a factory. Watching someone elses just isn't for me.

Gotta admit though, all our robots did was palletize boxes of tape.

[nova totem]

I've just been talking to friends with newer models and getting jealous. The biggest thing I'd love is a bigger build plate but that adds up fast

[upbeat coral]

Bigger MAY be better but I rarely fill my bed as it is. However, my biggest problem with bigger bed is a place to put it. I'm kinda Work Space Impaired.

[slow spire]

Is there an Ask an Engineer tonight? (Also, I forgot the special command)

[dim knot]

It doesn't look like it.

They might put something out later tonight.

[slow spire]

thanks, @dim knot !

[upbeat coral]

They do at least have a new product in the catalogue

[dim knot]

[lyric frost]

That was my thought train as well

There was a problem with that, I need to think about it for a sec

Ah, not all apps support the danger override, so if you set the common volume to something over the default 12 they will fail when they see the volume too high

yes, but if you have two apps, both know about safe volume, but only one knows about danger override, you can't use a volume over 12 because the one that doesn't know about danger override will crash

okay, I see

Have you flashed the fruit jam with absolute newest? there were some device/mouse updates recently

😁 nvm

I think there are some core updates after the one you have on there that impacted the core host usb functions

Love this app 😁

neat

The drums work best across the top or bottom

Yellow

I'm not sure but I think the configuration changes the number of bytes that get read each time so I don't think you can just not use the configuration change and not change other things in the app

okay, maybe I saw it somewhere else...

Set in definitions

I removed those changes

From an earlier commit

With the recent (this week) update to the core, you really should try/except catch device queries for device ID/product ID/Manufacturer, etc

nite 😁 thanks!

[smoky island]

[inner spade]

👋 ☕

[clever summit]

🇸🇪👋

[noble grove]

This is a real thing.

In this example all the CS are tied down but they could be attached to a single CS

Any SPI 'slave' will work this way. The 'master' and wiring need to be set up for it.

Adafruit devices are setup for individual CSs

Through, not over.

For this example that master writes 3 bytes and reads 3 bytes coming back. serial. 24 bits in a row.

No. Only the master knows where they are in the chain.

They are just shift registers.

They are in series.

Don't worry about it.

It's similar to the way that neopixels work, but with feedback.

Not too loud. No ringing in the ears. No pain.

[lavish patrol]

@cinder wind Until the smoke comes out. 😄

[unreal bay]

Just like powerline/homeplug right? send the ethernet down the powerlines, only sort of in reverse (using the hdmi ethernet lines for Mains AC), makes for a good heater (briefly)

[cinder wind]

gotta have some use for those old chunky HDMI 1.0 cables

[unreal bay]

Exactly! There's a limit to the number of macramé HDMI craft items the world could ever need/use

[lavish patrol]

Lol

[cinder wind]

I've not tried it yet but some displayio objects now have a contains() method that should help with collision detection (e.g. displayio.Group.contains(), displayio.TileGrid.contains()). I think FoamyGuy has been using it

[old surge]

John-ception

[cinder wind]

no clue. I've not tried it out yet. Last time I did such stuff, I was doing it like JP demo'd a bit ago

[bold roost]

I saw the chyron app yesterday. Very cool stuff and a great demo of the ESP32 wifi coprocessor on the Fruit Jam. Only thing I can think of that would make it better would be to support a USB keypad that could enter in the current product ID and update the listing rather than having to change the value in code.py and reload

But that's probably overkill 😆

mini cam froze when you changed colour type on capture card

[lavish patrol]

John Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

[bold roost]

My only recommendation with these basic HDMI capture devices is to get one with HDMI passthrough. Depending on your software/hardware setup, you can get a significant amount of lag which makes it difficult to test certain applications (ie: games). The passthrough with a separate monitor fixes that for me. 👍

[old surge]

Thank you for the tip!

[bold roost]

Does the ESP32 SPI bus conflict with HSTX? Is it DMA related?

[cinder wind]

Chryony? Shy Ronnie?

[rapid hornet]

what is the context of this? I fixed something a week or two ago

[bold roost]

Yep, I think that was the context. I wasn't aware that communication with the ESP32 over SPI was causing HSTX display glitches.

[rapid hornet]

It was the same thing as your neopixel report. If you DMA to or from PSRAM you can stall all DMA including the DMA to HSTX

[old surge]

Oh, yeah those plates are cool. I've picked up a few sizes. Definitely good for prepped in-advance setups. Some tacky mounting putty would be good for on-the-fly/easily repositionable setups

(Could also use a combination - stick down the plate with mounting putty to overcome too-stiff usb cables!)

No reason why not. They likely have standoffs you could mount with screws to the plate but would have clips on the other end. Adafruit's store used to have board edge clips, as well, to use with their acrylic board + half breadboard mounting base... Lemme have a poke around

Ah, last I knew, these were out of stock, but the clips: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1116

Not the same as through-mounting hole, but could be useful

I bet John Park could 3D print you something if DigiKey doesn't already carry what you need 😉

[old surge]

If I can ask: when you're approaching working with/from registers, what do you (personally) look for in the documentation to help you get orientated, in terms of understanding how a specific register is setup (word length, endianism, word size, etc)? Take this documentation as a for instance.

(Sorry, didn't realize it was so close to time)

(The only thing I could tell you about endian-ness is that it's a term taken from the 18th century novel Gulliver's Travels, so this is great information! (Thanks Tyeth!)) Thank you for your insight, Tim!

Fruit Jam is in stock.

[cinder wind]

I highly recommend anyone who uses Raspberry Pis to not boot/run off the SD card and instead run off an NVME or USB SSD. SO. MUCH. FASTER. and doesn't degrade in performance as fast the SD card. Even a USB thumbdrive is better. I finally started doing this on my Raspberry Pi servers. And I'll be blabbing about it more on next episode of The Bootloader podcast

[lavish patrol]

I used to read the Archie comics when I was a kid. But that was half a century ago... 🤔

Lol. Lars and a dinosaur.

@cinder wind That what I want, what I really really...

[cinder wind]

[old surge]

Sharp the brand, not just an apt description

[cinder wind]

btw, looks like each explosion line is causing a redraw of the screen.
two ways to solve this:

1. turn off display.auto_refresh and then do display.refresh() at bottom of main while loop
2. create explosion group on startup & add it to the display, but hide it. Then when explosion occurs, move the explosion's x,y to right location and unhide it

[clever summit]

🇸🇪 👋

[inner spade]

👋 ☕

It has over voltage protection regardless of the channel setting.

[dawn magnet]

👋

[inner spade]

Just connect the breakout to the MCU then connect the analyzer to the second stemma connector on the breakout.

No breadboard needed.

Lower signal noise if a breadboard isn’t involved.

Just use the breakout’s second connector.

It’s directly connected to the other connector, pin-for-pin.

Having the analog along with the digital signal is very useful. Cool.

You can see the noise and power fluctuations easily. Probably eats capture memory to have analog channels active (if not needed).

Use a regular Stemma to Stemma cable from the MCU to the breakout. Then connect a Stemma-to-female DuPont to the second breakout connector for the logic analyzer input.

Good point. SPI wouldn’t have a thru connection like Stemma.

[unreal bay]

💯 use the doubler. Sometimes being in the path is better, but often any point of nearly equivalent level is fine

And hi all 👋

[inner spade]

Yeah, I2C is just a bus.

[inner spade]

Learning to connect and use a logic analyzer from scratch. Nicely done, Tim.

If this was a gardening channel, you’d speed it up 4x and create a video short.

[cinder wind]

and here's that gist if anyone interested https://gist.github.com/todbot/b966f51307aca8dab64af70dc2954aee

[shell mason]

andy think lars generated fonts

[cinder wind]

Also note the fonts in circuitpython-fonts have like all the characters (or at least all the latin1 chars) so they're pretty big files if you're used to font files that just have ascii. I think there's a way to cull out all the character bitmaps you won't be using but I don't know what that is offhand, beyond running the FontForge gui

[old surge]

Did you remember to include the bodge pathway from the thermal exhaust port to the core?

[tulip canyon]

A neat idea would be to detect no motion after time and go into deep sleep.
I don't know that you could bring it out of deep sleep with the accelerometer though

[lavish patrol]

Can you not use web color names?

[tulip canyon]

Seems strange neopixel library isn't included by default.

[cinder wind]

It's 2045. All devices are CircuitPython-based. On editing the settings for my toast printer, I accidentally save over the code.py of my atmosphere processor. It's now raining bread in the living room and I can't get the CIRCUITPY drive to show back up

[old surge]

ORBITRON is displeased with your hot swapping

[lavish patrol]

"Incorrect bread setting."

@cinder wind I suggest cleaning the marmalade off your SSD...

[cinder wind]

JP, looks like you lost your whole /lib directory

[ivory flax]

Looks like your on a different board

[cinder wind]

JP, sometimes you can do circup install -a and have it work. This makes circup install all the imports found in code.py

[tulip canyon]

Shutdown to own the /libs (sounds familiar)

[ivory flax]

Line 8 is different on the board to your computer

Now that matches. So not sure what happened

I would think circup install -a would do it all

[cinder wind]

You can also be more explicit by creating a requirements.txt with the list of libraries (like normal Python) and do circup install -r requirements.txt

(A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about board mounts - I had mentioned Blu-Tack/mounting putty, you had wondered out loud about board clips other than board-edge mounts from the Adafruit shop link I'd shared. So, to follow up: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/essentra-components/CBLS350A/9342711 )

(Those are sized for the typical 3mm Adafruit board mounting hole, and there's one such on each side. They have others which are threaded female on one side, spear-tip clip on the opposite)

[inner spade]

☕

[noble grove]

Greetings and salutations from sunny Toronto

[inner spade]

Reminds me of the graphical interface logic layer of early versions of SynthEdit.

[noble grove]

Will you be able to have 'buttons' and 'outputs' tied to actual I/Os?

7

Black isn't a colour

[inner spade]

Black is a really dim color value; 0x000000

[noble grove]

Agreed. Black is a pallet value. 8 values.

"Right-click crashes instantly." At least it lets you know where you stand.

Are the gate symbols just bitmaps or made from graphics primitives? (circle, line, etc)

I missed yesterday. Will have to watch before asking a bunch of stupid questions.

Maybe when you 'cut' the gate (right-click) memorize all its properties, then when you 'paste' delete the original and create a new identical one so init runs fresh.

rather than trying to 'move' it

Next would be to have the existing wires move with the gate...

What about tri-state, open-collector & open-emitter outputs?

That makes sense

[inner spade]

Interesting idea. Those are shared signal bus outputs that could be fun to model, but represent a more advanced concept of logic design, I’m thinking.

[noble grove]

Agreed. A wired OR is a circuit implementation detail that could be drawn as an explicit gate in logic design.

[inner spade]

I regress: then there’s the concept of using digital gates for analog signals like creating an oscillator from cmos inverters and an RC circuit. And if you remember RTL gates, they could also be used as linear amplifier. There’s a rabbit hole for sure.

[noble grove]

A CMOS inverter oscillator is only analog in the sense that slew rate and propagation delays exist, but it's logically still digital. I don't know much about RTL.

Definitely a rabbit hole.

Not ahead of you, Tim. In parallel.

If you wanted to, you could make the wires green for 1, red for 0, and black for 'not connected' / 'floating' so people could draw charlieplexing circuits. (for example)

Make everything black while moving

If you are moving it the power wires are also not connected

Got it

It looks like there are actually 6 tiles in an entity, yes?

Yes, it made sense.

[inner spade]

Excellent progress today. Thanks for the stream!

[noble grove]

Thanks, Tim.

[noble grove]

Something for you...

[smoky island]

That is great, thank you!

[noble grove]

I made some more. Top and bottom inputs are in the middle of the unit tile so standard vertical line and elbow can be used.

Dark yellow inputs can be turned to background if unused.

[noble grove]

...and all the wires.

Well, actually there are two more wires but they're kind of superfluous.

My Arduino story is that I knew I was going to go broke buying "Basic Stamps" for everything I wanted to do.

[paper peak]

[upbeat coral]

I used to use Power Point to do that.

[haughty quiver]

love this @smoky island ! reminds me of this fun modular synth logic game wrapped up in a post apocalyptic story called The Signal State https://signalstate.io/

[tulip canyon]

In my day we wrote .pde files not .ino, and we liked it.

Zach and Jan, founders from from Edge Impulse remain at Qualcomm and this gives me some hope.
Also reach out to Loïc Minier - Director of software Open source at Qualcomm.
They are saying the right things so far

[dim knot]

What I'm trying to figure out, and what I am noticing, is that some of these companies refuse to evolve.

@clever summit Hello.

Can hear the AC more than usual...

It's not distracting.

[bold roost]

👋

[lavish patrol]

Aha. I have spotted the giant Arduino.

Steamboat Willy?

This project is making a splash...

Microphone, @haughty quiver

@haughty quiver you're muted

[dusk socket]

Push the button

[lavish patrol]

Lol

[ivory flax]

I am getting better a lip reading. Thanks

[bold roost]

Nice dithering!

[lavish patrol]

I'm good at dithering. 😄

[bold roost]

I remember my Duemilanove! I put that thing through the ringer...

[tulip canyon]

I have that one with the puffy Italian flag sticker

Thats the thing with Arduino, you never know what's on the board. It's one reason I love CircuitPython

Awesome project

Leonardo had the HID

[open surge]

Awesome, I always preferred the Sega Genesis over the NES

[bold roost]

I remember struggling with those chinese Arduino copies with the terrible CH430G chip

[tulip canyon]

Mickey can't have gloves yet 🙂

[lavish patrol]

Lars dithered

[tulip canyon]

I'd love to see the ffmpeg scripts you use. Doesn't look like Atkinson dithering is available

[lavish patrol]

If you dither the red only, it would be Pink Floyd Stienberg...

(Sorry, Dad joke there)

[dusk socket]

Good luck on the trip with Willy

[viral sail]

Thanks @haughty quiver . Have a great weekend everyone.

[lavish patrol]

Thanks, JP. 👍

[inner spade]

Thanks! Always fun in the workshop! Historical, too.

[tulip canyon]

Thanks JP, have a great day all

[lavish patrol]

Bye all. 👋

[lyric sphinx]

That rabbit hole I mentioned, on dithering and color correction is from https://www.youtube.com/@ooqui and goes into color perception as well.

[lyric frost]

👋

[lyric frost]

That's all fine, I was planning at creating a playground so I can move that there

Just so you know, it turns out tts_local works with kittenTTS as well, I posted the server.py script you need to the PR

They sound different but could be based on the same models on some level

Holding my breath, I don't have an AWS account to test with 😁

woohoo!

oh yea, the PR indicated three new pip packages

that you need to install in the kittentts env

uvicorn, scipy & fastapi

I think Kitten already install pydantec

Health may not work in Kitten, I didn't test

Yea, I didn't pay attention to Health

Thanks Tim!

[smoky island]

I'm back at it this morning testing the local TTS server with Spell Jam then working on a MCP server for connecting to CircuitPython devices. You can follow along on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr-3cjIn1OM or twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch

"except for when his internet service provider suddenly decides the middle of the day on a Thursday is an excellent time to do a many hours long maintenance" 🤣 I think they'll need to explain themselves to Mr. Lars, @haughty quiver

Hi JP nice day for a show

[robust hemlock]

Howdy!

[cinder wind]

Lars is in the HDMI Corner of Shame

[dawn magnet]

Hi JP and the group

[robust hemlock]

How does this compare to the TLV320?

[cinder wind]

And in both CircuitPython it's easy to run multiple of these DACs simultaneously, for multi-channel shenanigans (for Halloween perhaps!?)

[old surge]

Translucent breadboard seems very 80s, somehow

[cinder wind]

TLV320DAC has both a speaker amp and a headphone/line driver, and a I2C-controllable mixer to deal with a couple of analog inputs as well as the DAC audio. The TLV320AIC is a codec (ADC & DAC) and really powerful

JP, sound level is great!

Yup now just left channel now for audio

[viral sail]

Thanks @haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]
