BTW... 2 years ago I needed neopixel on an M7 running c# and .NET. Never could make the timing repeatable, so I gave up and went to seesaw as intermediary

Hey Tim 👋 So if it's all on a locked down user account does it make sense to use claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -c instead of allowing each command?

#

I'm always not doing that as I'm curious what's happening, but I do use "2" allow that going forwards, just curious if anything ever gets denied? Ah, thanks

#

I'm a monster, I tell it to use sudo -S with raw password, over ssh, but I've been bitten enough by RM / remove-item so that Bash(rm:*) is denied in most my repos. Rather do manual cleanup that let it blow away forgotten treasures.

#

Avoid on unscannable devices, e.g. the i2c thermocouple device (MCP one), it nacks rather than acks or something like that. Others stall on scanning etc. But commands work if no scan first

#

Thanks Tim!

do you foresee any problems with latency over network usb connections (usbip) either on host or device?

The fact that with AI you can write UIs and little nice features like drag a line between boxes without spending hours figuring out how is my favorite thing.

BLE workflow isn't reliable really, stick with Wifi / web workflow for now

#

With this HIL testing + zephyr they'll be a good opportunity for LLMs to attack BLE problems

Ah yeah the simulator testing, wish arduino had that properly, but not quite the same as BSP/SDK related BLE bugs

timid plover
#

was ui.perfetto.dev designed to show what the processor was doing (functions performed) to expose the timing? ( compared to logic analyzer looking at bits )

can viewtrace.dev show what is going on in the processor ( to explain whay the timing was not evenly spaced? )

#

it looked like the demo was from a profile log

#

there were a lot of pins on the raspberry pi 2350 with its PIO - what are the P4 advantages ?

Is this the field where FPGAs might shine or something? also - can the ULP core do anything while the other cores work (a bit like the run length encoding)

you could... but it wouldn't be valid or legal or similar reasons

these things are true for all the MOX sensors i know

#

ooh... sulfur compounds are.... kind of containation for most MOX sensors and similar... check data sensor

#

H2S is the rotten egg... turns into H2SO4...

#

NOx is NO and NO2

#

NO -> NO2... in the presense of water...turns in nitric acid... H2SO4 is sulfuric acid

might have to feed this as zephyr chosen node as well
zephyr,entropy = &rng;

#

chosen {
zephyr,entropy = &rng;
};

this just tells other Zephyr things what entropy source to use in a portable way. there are probably a ton of existing chosen nodes in ur board already

#

order is:

app.overlay covers up...
board specific overlays per your application (in boards/board_name.overlay)
board specific files (.dtsi in a boards folder normally)
then your SoC specific devicetree files

secret note

#

if you look in build/zephyr/.config and build/zephyr/zephyr.dts.* you can see the actual final generated devicetree and Kconfigs

#

oh did u set your second stage bootloader config

maybe this isn't how it's done anymore lemme go look

👋 as johnnohj's wasm port playground note was being mentioned, johnnohj was pushing updates 2mins before, fresh off the press!

old surge
#

I've been working on it pretty regularly, mostly finding what doesn't work 😅

old surge
unreal bay
#

It's going to be a fun year as the more recent and interesting things of web and hardware and ai tools intertwine.

#

That's exactly it, the native sim. WASM is a bit like the Pico-8, an ideal machine not a real one, in theory easier to design / compile for.

old surge
#

It is very much a runtime inside a runtime (...inside a runtime, inside a runtime...)

unreal bay
#

0x0 sounds better than 0x100 (my zephyr knowledge is weak)

old surge
#

Part of the challenge with the WASM port is deciding where to draw certain lines - do you want to use 'real' CircuitPython C hardware modules, do you want to run a 'pure' Python interpreter and have 'hardware' be Python objects (this is largely what PyScript does), or do you want to create JavaScript 'hardware' modules that CircuitPython can import and use?

unreal bay
#

I was kind of hoping wokwi creator might get bored and open source it, there was some wasm custom chip support so you could write the sensors etc you needed

old surge
#

Wokwi and similar board simulators definitely an inspiration for the WASM port, and probably the reason I've taken the 'hard' path of trying to incorporate the C hardware modules. The MicroPython webassembly port (which PyScript uses) is already excellent if what you're after is Python in the browser

Very cool I2SIn, there are lots of projects that will benefit from i2s mics.

Quick question, is there a connector similar to stemma that could be used for i2c mics?

#

Some i2s mics have the little hole, but in the back of the PCB

#

Yeah, stemma uses JST-SH 4pin.

#

But yeah, "chaining" the SEL would be interesting.

Close enough for a guitar tuner. (Very useful as a marimba tuner)

Cutting off the pin sounds like the short-term solution. The long-term solution is over-engineering over-voltage protection on all possible pin connections 😉

perhaps an intermediate level shifter board when needed - to not overcomplicate the p4 board?

What is LadyAda using to protect QTpy board from 5V?

old surge

So arranged in a way that anything over 3.3v goes to drive an LED? As in the LED 'draws off' excess voltage?

#

Is it still working?

timid plover
#

can you retest the logic analizer/capture on that pin after 'smoking' it ?

#

can you measure the current draw ( which would verify that 5V was really present )

I guess you could measure the voltage across the resistor 🙂

Jumper wires are required for rev1

sorry - joined late today

unreal bay
#

so this is effectively the logic analyser without extra usb + hub n gpio expander?

timid plover
#

so the HIL board will have headers installed to plug into like the breadboard?

#

but when used, there will be headers, right?

unreal bay
#

are you tempted to get a few copies fully populated with female headers

timid plover
#

do you envision needing 'hooks' or instrumentation in the CP code that is being tested, or is it a requirement that full HIL testing runs on a pristine CP binary ?

Hi Scott, I'm a bit late. I'll have to circle back later to see what this is about.

How much do you use an AI agents to help with PCBs?

What're we working on?

#

I seem to recall that the serial readline sees characters up to 'r/' to print, then applies the '/n' to prepare for the new print row. You may need to manually add an extra 'r/n/' to signal that there's no new line following.

#

(Or do the same thing in opposite, read in until you see the 'r/' before printing?)

#

Set to receive with a timeout?

#

If you were (re)starting the serial, there'd be the REPL banner printed out first, no? Is it trying to skip that?

#

Initially buffer until you see '>>>' ?

#

Is the runner script blocking?

#

(Kinder might be to rename an existing code.py, but that's not an essential detail)

#

Version override would be to receive something other than latest, IIRC

#

Oh, you know, I was thinking of something different - sorry

#

Looks like the logger logs to a LOG_DIR

Was there a code.something.py or did my eyes play tricks?

#

Gee, when I ask, "why did you do foo," it's because I don't understand foo and want to learn. I hope I don't come across as critical!

lament flume
#

Are you referring to something specific @analog acorn ?

analog acorn
#

@lament flume I was referring to LadyAda's comments about feeling like people question her thinking when she designs something.

lament flume
#

I'm just listening back to video today, I don't think the comment is related to someone asking why something was done a certain way, she even mentions later that "its the whole point of engineering"

analog acorn
#

@lament flume Ah, that's true. I guess it surprises me that Limor often feels that she's questioned or critiqued because she's a "she" instead of a "he." I just don't grok that attitude from people....

lament flume
#

Crazy, as I mentioned to in the dm, she has to be one of, if not the, most influential person in this space

analog acorn
#

Agreed. I still don't get how she has the time to do everything she does!!!

lament flume
#

I am very sympathetic to discrimination of any kind, but I guess I can't really truely understand it as I've never experienced it. You would hope more and more people judge people on ability rather than any other factor

#

One thing I've lots of discussions with people is the gender breakdown of people who are into Arduino stuff. I have a small YouTube channel (400 subs) the gender breakdown of my viewers is over 98% male

#

There is another YouTuber, andreas Spiess who has 30k subs and the last time he shared his figures they were the same

analog acorn
#

Ah yes, "the guy with the Swiss accent." He has good material.

lament flume
#

Yeah him

analog acorn
#

I've been the victim of some nasty discrimination and I still don't understand people who think that way. Unfortunately, I suspect the vast majority of people are pretty shallow.

lament flume
#

Sorry about that, people can be really shitty

#

I have a young daughter (10 months old) and I do worry about the way we raise girls compared to boys impact what they are interested in later life

analog acorn
#

Aye, they can be.

#

I agree, it's a concern. Fortunately my daughters are fiercely independent (as much as that has caused me grief 😃 )

lament flume
#

😂

analog acorn
#

A coworker has a 9yo daughter that he's trying to expose to "non-traditional" activities, so I gave him a configured Raspberry Pi that the two of them can work on together.

lament flume
#

That's a great idea

#

I don't want to force any activities onto my daughter, but I am really hoping we can work on stuff together when she's older! 😋

#

She seems to like Leds anyways so that is a good start!

analog acorn
#

I bought mine subscriptions to AdaBox. It didn't take. They have other interests, which is ok.

lament flume
#

Once they are happy!

#

We have decided to not share images of our daughter online at the moment, but one of my favourite pictures I have is from when I was resting out neopixels for the first time and she was sitting in her high chair beside me and her big excited face when the lit up!

#

Testing#

rapid hornet
#

Great discussion @analog acorn and @lament flume . I think theres a lot of unaccounted for descrimination in tech that contributes to the "death by a thousand paper cuts" category. That includes meeting a woman and assuming they aren't an engineer, acting surprised when you find out they are, assuming male gender for an engineer you don't know or groups of engineers. One thing I tried to be deliberate on when interviewing at Google was to write my interview feedback as genderless (they or them rather than he or she). I did this to minimize gender impact down the line but found it did shift my mindset too. I highly recommend just thinking about gender assumptions you make day-to-day.

lament flume
#

They're some interesting studies about gender less CVs (resume?) too

#

Where CVs would be stripped of anything that indicates gender before being giving to hiring team

#

So first impressions are not based on gender

#

Anyone show and telling this evening?

#

I think since the last one I got blink working on my Arduino 101, but only on my pc 😂

analog acorn
#

@lament flume I'm conflicted. There's supposed to be a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at 7:38 Eastern.... I'll probably watch the launch and jump in for Ask an Engineer.

Yeah, it is "old school" but I purchased it online and ripped out the guts.

i've had mine a while and there wasn't much guts

just wondering if determined to be the same size, if you would be interested in printing up another base for me to buy - i have no access to 3d printer at this time

I'm doing a learning guid about the project, so there will be a lot more detail at some point.

Measure the diameter of the light housing. Its probably the same.

Does Adafruit also sell things on Amazon? Neither me or my family use credit cards.

@remote delta yup, some resellers of ours do

also digikey, they take checks/cash (i think)

@flint beacon The printed piece is 82mm and 70mm for the inset ring that fits inside the glass front.

remote delta
#

Awesome! That is VERY convenient!

#

I wonder if the Pi Zero is on there, to.

regal garnet
#

@flint beacon You want to mount a 24 pixel ring, right?

flint beacon
#

@regal garnet , not originally, but seeing your project re-sparked mine which was on the back burner

#

but i don;t think they are the same size

#

the glass front on mine is bigger than 70mm

#

i do need to get it done in time for bm too

fickle umbra
#

@remote delta I don't think digikey carries the zero /zero w, but I know resellers on Amazon do.

remote delta
#

I don't like the ones on Amazon. They sell them for STUPID prices.

#

I've seen people selling them for up to a hundred dollars.

fickle umbra
#

@remote delta CanaKit marks their kits up a bit, but not entirely unreasonably?

#

and they sell on amazon

flint beacon
#

@regal garnet which guide was it you followed - was it a 3d guide or general bike light update guide?

remote delta
#

OK, Maybe I'll check that out. It's been quite a while since I checked the prices.

#

@remote delta If you have a Micro Center nearby that's a good place for them. Also you can use Amazon Payments or PayPal, if that's a help.

Thanks. I might check for a few centers. I have no idea if we have any, but I never looked.

@remote delta Meant to be clearer: can pay at Adafruit with Amazon Payments or PayPal.

Wait, so I can use Amazon giftcards on the official site?

#

flint beacon
#

@rapid hornet hi scott - i missed last week i think and have to read through all the stuff you posted (eg.rules, etc), but wondering (and may have asked this poorly day this discord started) is there an associated forum style space associated for not-real-time discussions or something like that?

paper peak
#

You can use Amazon Pay -- not sure if you can apply gift cards to your Amazon Payments balance.

#

Check at Amazon

remote delta
#

Oh, so I can use an Amazon account to purchase things from the Adafruit site?

trail zephyr
#

I dont think you can

flint beacon
#

or a place to carryon a discussion started here

trail zephyr
#

use your gift card balance to add to your amazon payment

#

I tried it before

rapid hornet
#

@flint beacon general works or adafruit support forums

fickle umbra
#

nope, amazon explicitly disallows

trail zephyr
#

that would allow people to use their gift cards outside of amazon

flint beacon
#

@rapid hornet is general voice only?

rapid hornet
#

yeah though if you have ideas for voice channel let me know

paper peak
#

@remote delta I think you could just buy general Visa/Mastercard, etc gift cards at, say, the supermarket, and then pay with those.

remote delta
#

Ah, ok.

fickle umbra

You'll probably spend an extra 5$ish every time you put money on it, but it functions just like a checkcard for most purposes

#

@remote delta you can make wishlists on your adafruit account 😉

remote delta
#

Awesome!

rapid hornet
#

Am I able to make an Adafruit account with my Google account?

fickle umbra

@remote delta it's an email/password combo

The Adafruit crew and community have some cool projects.

flint beacon
#

theyre amazing

#

i have to get back into my electronics projects - i think it's been two years since i was on s&t last

strong spear
#

Yes, unlike some other corporations their (Adafruit's) ethic stands out. That's one reason why I spend my money with them and support the Adafruit crew.

flint beacon
#

agreed!

rapid hornet
#

woo 22 people online!

analog acorn
#

Yeah, @strong spear , I buy first from Adafruit and only go elsewhere when they don't have something....

flint beacon
#

Reading up on discord site, what is the fossness of it?

flint beacon
#

i just discovered how to pm on here

rapid hornet

I think its closed @copper mango

#

though we do a have Gitter channel for CircuitPython and they just open sourced it

strong spear
#

Has anyone had an issue to Arduino IDE, with some feather boards in which sometimes the IDE works and then other times it gets errors compiling the same code on MAC?

analog acorn
#

Choices, choices. UPS delivered an Adafruit box to my apartment office, but it closes in 15 minutes. I can rush over to get it, or finish watching Ask an Engineer.... I guess I'll get my box tomorrow. 😃

copper mango
#

gitter is cool

#

mumble for voice

rapid hornet
#

@copper mango I'm liking discord more now though

fickle umbra
#

@analog acorn bring up AaE on the phone, and run to the office?

analog acorn
#

@strong spear I had that problem, too. I'm compiling on Windows 10 now (Mac died).

copper mango
#
