[analog acorn]

I'm glad you're still here, @little oak

[flint beacon]

@trail zephyr i was probably around your age when i first got sciatica. it doesn't happen that much for me, but just last week...

[strong spear]

wow 4 heart attacks. I'm sure you are cherishing the time you have.

[little oak]

Oh yeah, they don't scare me anymore.

[flint beacon]

don't get complacent now

[little oak]

I spend 100% of my time "Pursuing Happiness". ERIOD.

[flint beacon]

good

[trail zephyr]

my dad had a heart attack a year ago...was scary for me because I never had to go to the hospital for my parents before

[strong spear]

@little oak just remember....It could always be worse

[flint beacon]

i have to remind my se;f that everyday

[little oak]

@strong spear Yup, your right. 2 herniated L4's, Cateracted eys, bacterial ulcer and tinnitus.

[strong spear]

It puts things in prospective.

[fickle umbra]

@hard hollow That.. that was cool as hell

[hard hollow]

@fickle umbra It was all PT's fault 😉

[fickle umbra]

@hard hollow That.. that sounds like I story I need to hear

[hard hollow]

Admitting I had a lot of fun learning how to design a deck in CAD

[strong spear]

@hard hollow The Ruiz brothers are always on point!!

[fickle umbra]

OMG that lantern is pretty.....

[analog acorn]

@hard hollow Oooh my Prusa wants to print that lantern!

[hard hollow]

I think it was one of those idea's Phil thought was unique and playful. Phil is a skateboarder and likes the culture so "why not".

[flint beacon]

yea, that's cool @hard hollow

[strong spear]

The Prusa MK2 is very nice.

[hard hollow]

@strong spear I hear good things about those!

[strong spear]

@hard hollow I received mine about 6 weeks ago......Very nice..Close to my UM2+

[flint beacon]

what was that thing they just showed that allows servos and neopixel control?

[strong spear]

@hard hollow I think you guys would be impressed. But, you guys are the experts. I just had one issue with it which was easily fixable.

[hard hollow]

@strong spear that's great to hear! More and more low-price printers are really getting good.

[fickle umbra]

@flint beacon https://blog.adafruit.com/2017/07/03/breakout-mini-microbit_edu-microbit-microbitlove-microbitmonday/

[flint beacon]

thank you @fickle umbra

[fickle umbra]

@flint beacon Yer welcome 😉

[strong spear]

@hard hollow I also ordered the Creality CR10. It's in transit from China.

[little oak]

I got a uArm coming Friday. It's a desktop robotic arm

[lament flume]

@strong spear never with compiling, sometimes on upload if i have the serial monitor already open

[little oak]

I am sooooo stoked....

[analog acorn]

Ahhhh, now I understand a GitHub issue....

[rapid hornet]

let me know how it is @little oak !

[little oak]

Aybody into robots?

Will do @rapid hornet

[analog acorn]

Aye, @little oak

[strong spear]

@lament flume ok, my console was closed. Its a weird problem.

[little oak]

The uArm Swift Pro is way cool.

[flint beacon]

don't fall for them phil!

[little oak]

It will 3D print, Laser engrave, see with openMV and lots more.

[flint beacon]

haha foxes love fake cheese

[remote delta]

Foxes are freaking adorable.

[lament flume]

@little oak I bought a couple of toy cars to to robotify a while back

I bought motor controler chips from china

took over 90 days to get to me :/

Will get back to it at some stage

but a lot of other things on my plate first

[regal garnet]

Congrats, @little oak for calling in!

[little oak]

HOLY COW, I got through on the phone.

[trail zephyr]

awesome

[flint beacon]

cool! @little oak

[lament flume]

Busy night @little oak

[regal garnet]

Hey, I used to live in Chicago

[flint beacon]

we heard you

[lament flume]

you may as well move to New York your spending so much time talking to Adafruit

[little oak]

WOW, this Adafruit is the absolute BEST.

[trail zephyr]

ah you are the guy with the tape thing that was cool

[flint beacon]

@regal garnet is that where you moved to ca;ifornia from?

you mentioned new in ca with garbage reminder

[regal garnet]

@flint beacon No, I was actually in New Jersey for a while

[flint beacon]

ah

[regal garnet]

I get around. LOL

[flint beacon]

haha

i gotta take a break but will continue private discussion shortly @regal garnet

[little oak]

What a great evening I had. Show and Tell, Phone call, I actually spoke to Ladyada.

[flint beacon]

cooolest @little oak

[little oak]

This is one for the books.

[distant harbor]

@little oak What a great night for you! 😃

[final narwhal]

Ikr

[pliant surge]

@little oak were you caller from Chicago area?

[little oak]

Yes, I was

[pliant surge]

Awesome, nice job

[final narwhal]

Cool

[regal garnet]

They only use Fortran in Chicago. LOL

[little oak]

Thanks eh?

[pliant surge]

waiiiit i hear canadian in there

[little oak]

SHHH, don't tell anyone sKrOd

Grew up in the UP, I'm a Yooper.

Cloe to Canada.

[ocean musk]

@little oak dont you mean don't tell anyone aboot it. lol

[regal garnet]

ha ha

[analog acorn]

Ok, Ada-Crew, I've been in the office for 14 hours. Time to pack up and walk home. 😃

[rapid hornet]

congrats @little oak

@analog acorn don't get stuck in traffic 😛

[analog acorn]

Hahahahaha. It's just a trail through the swamp back to the apartment. 😃

[rapid hornet]

#332314038757359619 now gets notified when new tunes and voicemails hit soudncloud

[pliant surge]

i can't keep up with all of these comm methods!

didn't know about discord an hour ago

[little oak]

I gotta go people, good night, stay safe and most of all, MAKE a great day.

[ocean musk]

is glitter being ditched now for this?

[pliant surge]

ok back to the real world, MAKE it count folks.

[rapid hornet]

good night @little oak

@ocean musk I'm still on gitter but this is nice and general

I like how webhooks make it easy to get notified about all of the adafruit activity

bye @pliant surge

[strong spear]

@little oak Good night Northern

[ivory kiln]

For the special Show n Tell next week at 7p, is the regular Show n Tell still going to be on at the regular 7:30p time or not?

[strong spear]

@ivory kiln What

s @ivory kiln What's the special show and tell about?

[ivory kiln]

The special show n tell that they talked about tonight

look at the show at 11:17, thats where they mention it

[rapid hornet]

ok, will do. I pinged phil on internal chat about it too but they may have something afterwards

@ivory kiln my guess would be that show and tell will be an hour long

[remote delta]

Do you think putting my Pi in a regular PC case would be a bit much?

[fickle umbra]

define "regular"

a pi in a full atx tower... is a bit comical to think about

[remote delta]

Like, one of the cheap ones you would buy off of amazon.

[fickle umbra]

Possibly a bit much, yeah.

[remote delta]

I think it would be a bit sillier if I did that, but with a Pi Zero.

All that space that would be left unused.

[little oak]

I think the Pi would enjoy all the room. Lots of space for peripherals.

[remote delta]

Yep.

Hmm... I think I now have a few ideas.

[little oak]

idea are good...

[remote delta]

Yep.

I just thought about it when I was searching for cheap PC parts.

Would be a lot of space for cooling.

[distant harbor]

Depending on it's intended use, just throw it in a normal Raspberry Pi case.

[little oak]

Sure, why not. A case for embedded systems is always a challenge.

My 3D printer solved a lot of those issues thou...

[remote delta]

I'm mostly concerned about the thing burning itself out. It is freaking HOT over where I live, right now.

[little oak]

Ahhhh, good point. Heat.

[fickle umbra]

@remote delta unless you're doing something hardcore, I doubt you'd fry it unless you wrapped it in packing foam... it's designed to throttle itself

[distant harbor]

Get some heat sink, throw it in a standard Pi case and it should be fine. They make Pi cases you can add a tiny fan to

[remote delta]

I'm using it for things like Youtube, Discord, Diep, and a few other things.

I have a heat sink, And even then, the Pi sometimes complains about over heating.

Oh god, I just thought about how small the Pi would be compared to the case, and I think it's hilarious.

[little oak]

Ok, now add a power brick, USB hub, display, GPIO stuff if any... Things add up.

[remote delta]

Nevermind. Much bigger now that I think about that stuff.

[little oak]

It could ALL be contained within a reasonable PC desktop case.

[remote delta]

Hmm... I think I have a few ideas.

And now they're gone.

[little oak]

You got to write them down ASAP

[distant harbor]

Even the official Raspberrypi.org case has no fan.

[remote delta]

Wait they're back. Gonna open that Libre office.

[distant harbor]

I have overclocked several Raspberry Pi's to the max, and ran N64 games using Retropie... Still has never overheated.

[remote delta]

Mine starts to heat up like mad after ten minutes of Mario 64.

It's not over clocked.

[distant harbor]

It's always going to be warm/hot. Are you monitoring the CPU temp at all? Or just hovering your hand over it?

[little oak]

How does the Pi complain about heating up. I don't use one so I am simply curious.

[distant harbor]

It will usually either lock up, or power off if it gets too hot.

It won't just burst into flames. Lol

[little oak]

Really? Wow, POR's suck...

[distant harbor]

POR's?

[little oak]

Power On Reset.

Bottom line, that's what happens.

[distant harbor]

If you use the official Raspbian Pixel image, it works fine. If you use something like Retropie, it'll lock up once in awhile during heavy emulation.

@remote delta if you want to see something that will both look nice and monitor your Pi temperature, check out Conky: https://youtu.be/OB7Nfe_05h4

I've used Conky in other Linux distros, just not on my Pi. This guy has a Conky rc file he configured specifically for the Pi.

[lament flume]

@NorthernPike#5809 great job on the stream (I'm just catching up on YouTube)

[remote delta]

Conky looks nice. Thanks for sending it.

I don't understand it at all.

[rapid hornet]

I think the pi will also slow down the clock speed when getting hot. Some laptops do that too. Thats probably why frames get dropped.

[remote delta]

That's actually a smart tactic.

[distant harbor]

@rapid hornet Yeah, I believe so.

@Peppercatt, if you follow the instructions in the video, you should be all good. There's not much configuration required.

@remote delta*

Haha your handle from the YouTube broadcasts was saved in auto correct.

[remote delta]

What does that mean?

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[fallow fractal]

@rapid hornet looks like this double posted

Might want to look into that

[remote delta]

Oh my.

[fallow fractal]

Also the circuitpython GitHub stuff is posted to both #adafruit-github-feed and #circuitpython-dev

[rapid hornet]

@fallow fractal The double post must be a bug with IFTTT. The circuitpython notifications are intentionally both places.

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[rapid hornet]

live stream is going 😃

[distant harbor]

So yeahhhh, Linux Feather board line.

Pretty awesome idea by Lady Ada

[pearl shoal]

Love the idea.

[rapid hornet]

😄

[pearl shoal]

I do lots (and lots) of Linux work. Lots of languages, environments, abstraction levels. Many Linux users can't spell I2C 😃

So a library/module that exposes the most basic Feather data (the ones from the board itself, not wings) would be very helpful.

[distant harbor]

That's great @pearl shoal !

I have been tinkering with both Arduino based projects and Raspberry Pis for a while now. As a hobbyist, I'm not an engineer or pro

[pearl shoal]

It can build on top of i2c of course as far as the SAMD is concerned. But having a Bash script that read /proc/feather/a0 to read an analog input value would be exactly what the Raspberry Pi is lacking..

[rapid hornet]

@pearl shoal I want to bring the circuitpython libraries to CPython at some point

[distant harbor]

I know enough about Linux to get my hands dirty

[pearl shoal]

To turn on a digital output -> $ echo '1' > /proc/feather/d1

[rapid hornet]

thats a lot trickier I think because it relies on kernel hacking

[pearl shoal]

Sort of - it requires a kernel module

That gets loaded after the kernel boots. It would rely on the i2c kernel module and read using i2c, but expose those "files" in the /proc filesystem

I'll tell you what - if she makes the i2c interface on the SAMD and exposes it, I'll take a stab at the kernel module (I've done one before)

[rapid hornet]

@pearl shoal does that hold true if I do it? 😉

[pearl shoal]

Sure!

(Gotta run!)

[rapid hornet]

bye @pearl shoal !

[shell mason]

@rapid hornet @pearl shoal think Circuitpython with Cython

for Linux Feathers life here is Ubuntu for Windows 10 and Suse I try to look at it https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4msv6

[distant harbor]

@shell mason The Linux on the feathers would probably be some extremely cut down distro designed for embedded systems. There most likely will be no GUI.

Ubuntu would be a good starter distro for people to familiarize themselves with using Linux however.

[shell mason]

@distant harbor Fedora and Suse are also to windows store as support WSL

[rapid hornet]

Just over an hour until the bonus Show and Tell!

[regal garnet]

bonus? There's a bonus??

[rapid hornet]

yup, there is a TE racecar one a half an hour earlier than the normal one

[pearl shoal]

Hoping to get in on that: all setup for a live demo of the robot chassis kit turned into a powerchair 😃

[rapid hornet]

awesome @pearl shoal !

[pearl shoal]

Looking forward to the S&T link 😉

[rapid hornet]

my demo is failing! gotta fix it in the next 40 minutes

my rpi is hating me

[pearl shoal]

Nothing like a bit of stress on a Wed evening

Two minutes to air & no link? Is the live Show & Tell after a video or something?

[rapid hornet]

there is a video from jp

I'll post it when I see one

[pearl shoal]

Ack - missed the link!

[shell mason]

@rapid hornet no pressure as you didnt get demo working in digital signal processing

[rapid hornet]

@pearl shoal https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/zbd2f4fjsfddrijko5j7qotmw4e

bonus show and tell is live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey4UcIKagxc

[shell mason]

you have your pi project working @rapid hornet

[rapid hornet]

think so @shell mason

thats so cool. barbie has a power chair!

[waxen thistle]

That's a great idea to prototype controls for a larger scale item

[rapid hornet]

Yup! Seems like an awesome toy too.

[shell mason]

i going to off my desktop so i go silent

[rapid hornet]

ok @shell mason

[shell mason]

i going to be youtube chat

[rapid hornet]

k, I'm there too

@pearl shoal someone in youttube chat would like to know if your code is public somewhere

[analog acorn]

@rapid hornet Do you know if PT is monitoring Discord for questions during Ask an Engineer? Or do we need to do Twitch chat?

[rapid hornet]

looks like hes still in the hangout and paying attention

[waxen thistle]

@pearl shoal The work you folks do is awesome.

[rapid hornet]

@analog acorn I'm not exactly sure. He is @open girder so maybe.

[analog acorn]

Ok, thanks!

[waxen thistle]

I think Phil has mentioned this earlier -- there needs to be a multi-platform streaming client, a single dashboard/pane-of-glass for chat and video 😃

I feel bad for him, he's got goodness-knows-how-many chat clients open at once

[rapid hornet]

yeah 😃 I try to be in them all too

I don't get any work done but oh well

[analog acorn]

LOL. I'm vainly trying to work now...

[waxen thistle]

hahaha....work.

[blazing atlas]

haha @analog acorn , same tabs

[harsh bone]

hi

[analog acorn]

Nah, got Discord on one computer, video on a second, and working in my notebook (paper and pen, not electronic)

[rapid hornet]

hi @harsh bone !

[blazing atlas]

what kind of notebook do you scribble on @analog acorn

[rapid hornet]

show and tell hangout link: https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/qnjftildnza27ofx6ikurarkcme

[analog acorn]

Levenger Circa or Code and Quill. I use various fountain pens for writing, or a mechanical HB pencil.

[blazing atlas]

ooh code and quill ones are purtty

[analog acorn]

Yes, I like them a lot!

[rapid hornet]

should be live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx6YPrIauVU

[blazing atlas]

;D

[rapid hornet]

lol

[waxen thistle]

That's really cool 😃

[blazing atlas]

Cool stuff! @rapid hornet

[rapid hornet]

thanks @waxen thistle and @blazing atlas

[waxen thistle]

did you use anything as a reference/inspiration for your testing framework?

[rapid hornet]

@waxen thistle travis and github

[shell mason]

CircuitFruit would be cool as all fruits connect circuitpython boards

[waxen thistle]

FruitSalad 😃

[pearl shoal]

That was awesome - two projects in one night 😃

[blazing atlas]

@rapid hornet when you described what you were working on, first thing that went in mah head was a wall of all adafruit boards

[rapid hornet]

yes, its gonna happen @blazing atlas

[waxen thistle]

All in all you're just another fruit on the wall.

We need more STEM education. guitar riff

[blazing atlas]

could be a functional art installation

[shell mason]

think you have Adafruit looking hub so you hook circuitpython boards to it and boom Continues integration tester and hub have pi in it

[rapid hornet]

thats the idea @shell mason

[shell mason]

CircuitFruit could be the thing what it be called 😄

[waxen thistle]

Two engineers for the price of one! BOGO! 😛

[rapid hornet]

live on http://twitch.tv/adafruit

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCi-CAecWTA

[distant harbor]

Instead of telling the people who ask really complex questions in the livestream chat to go to the forums... We can send them here! 😃

[blazing atlas]

My Adafruit package was shipped out via DHL today

prolly will arrive before end of the week :3

[strong spear]

DHL? where are you located?

[blazing atlas]

its surprisingly FAST

Vancouver, BC

[waxen thistle]

@distant harbor Or they can do both 😃

[pastel pike]

hi

[waxen thistle]

This is great for quick answers, and the forums are great for archival of solutions

[distant harbor]

This is true @waxen thistle

[waxen thistle]

and of course, with the historical logging on here, there's a bit of functional overlap. That's awesome

[glossy glacier]

Hello everyone!

[distant harbor]

You beard is excellent btw @waxen thistle

[blazing atlas]

Hello!

[distant harbor]

Hello!

[waxen thistle]

haha, thanks @distant harbor

[blazing atlas]

@strong spear just checked my last order, was shipped on the 6th of june -- arrived day after

[distant harbor]

You're welcome @waxen thistle!

[strong spear]

wow. that is fast. Faster than I could get a package.

[blazing atlas]

DHL + Customs is cheaper for me than the other shipping options too

[waxen thistle]

Adafruit has always been stellar with their shipping

[distant harbor]

They sure have.

[rapid hornet]

hi @glossy glacier

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[rapid hornet]

about time twitch bot

[waxen thistle]

*pats twitch bot on the head. Who's a good boy? who'sagoodboy?

[distant harbor]

Does the Twitch Bot depend on IFTTT?

Because IFTTT lags for a lot of things

[rapid hornet]

yeah @distant harbor

[distant harbor]

It's prob IFTTT then.

[rapid hornet]

yeah, makes sense

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet Do you know how long you get for setup at seatle maker fair?

[rapid hornet]

@glossy glacier I know who to ask

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet Or if we can work something special out...

[blazing atlas]

😮 oooh!

[rapid hornet]

yeah, email me and I'll add richard

[waxen thistle]

I wonder if seattle still does the lego festival (BrickCon?)....I remember that back in the day, so much fun

[sorry that was neither here nor there]

[blazing atlas]

ive never heard of brick con 😮

how long ago was back in the day?

[glossy glacier]

@waxen thistle Looks like it is still going on.

[waxen thistle]

@blazing atlas I was in seattle 2007 and 2008

[rapid hornet]

pretty graphs!

[blazing atlas]

ah! Seattle was home-away-from home for me from late 2008-2014

OooO

[waxen thistle]

@blazing atlas Yeah, I graduated college in 2007, and started in the seattle area that summer...stayed there for 2 years, then left for a better opportunity back home on the east coast.

I do miss certain things from out there though

[blazing atlas]

I really like this data analysis stuff.

[rapid hornet]

@glossy field let me know if you visit

(I'm visiting NYC next week if you are there.)

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet Are we going to see you on Ask an Engineer?

[blazing atlas]

@waxen thistle its changed a lot since, havent been back for a year now -- miss the fooods

and amazing amazon prime service...

[rapid hornet]

@glossy glacier I hope to crash it

and maybe do some other streams

[waxen thistle]

@blazing atlas I can imagine...I miss Pike Place Brewery, Elysian.... the walking trails through redmond and the aboreatum

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet Sounds like a lot of fun.

[rapid hornet]

yeah, I'm looking forward to it

[blazing atlas]

@rapid hornet COOL! 😄 have you been in a video from the NY office before?

[rapid hornet]

@blazing atlas yup, last year around maker faire

[waxen thistle]

@rapid hornet NYC is a totally different beast than the pacific northwest (says the guy who lives in NJ and works in NYC daily).

[rapid hornet]

@waxen thistle yup. can you do lunch next week sometime?

[blazing atlas]

Yeah, I know ~ kinda miss the craziness though

and late night korea town karaoke

[waxen thistle]

I might be able to. I work at client sites every day, and my schedule can be a bit unpredictable. I'll send you a friend request on here and we can discuss this "offline" 😃

[strong spear]

I used to work in NY for over 14 years.

[blazing atlas]

ahh! I wish this kit was available when i made my order x)

[regal garnet]

I used to live / work in New York 20 years ago!!

[strong spear]

it's a cool place

[rapid hornet]

@blazing atlas https://youtu.be/8A3WFM81pfI

[regal garnet]

And New Jersey last year. Sorry to hear about the summer of hell, @waxen thistle

[waxen thistle]

@regal garnet Thanks for the sympathy, we need it. Have any tunnel boring gear sitting around? A shovel maybe? 😛

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet It looks like the maker fair call for makers is already closed... I guess i missed that one.

[waxen thistle]

@glossy glacier Wow that closed quickly.

Didn't it just open around the beginning of the month?

[distant harbor]

Don't have ny of that gear sitting round, but I have 90% of this electric car kit laying around from when it was a Adabox

[glossy glacier]

@waxen thistle I don't know when it opend.

[rapid hornet]

@waxen thistle seattle mini maker faire

[noble grove]

Hello

[rapid hornet]

email me anyway and we can chat with richard who is helping with it

[noble grove]

World

[rapid hornet]

hi @noble grove !

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet Will do.

[waxen thistle]

I have one of those distance sensors, and before this was a call-to-action, I was debating on making something similar -- a couple (or more) wifi controlled cars for racing on twitch. Couple of viewers doing what they can, but the delay could be a challenge.

@rapid hornet Ah my bad. @glossy glacier sorry, I thought you were asking about the NYC maker faire

[rapid hornet]

nyc just opened up I think

[vital bane]

Discord, not just for pokemongo anymore..

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet @waxen thistle Well, a truck and trailer will solve that...

[blazing atlas]

:p @vital bane

[vital bane]

Adafruit needs an x-ray machine 😃

[rapid hornet]

I think its only a matter of time @vital bane

[glossy glacier]

@vital bane There was a couple on craigslist in washington recently... I didn't get one but I think a frind may have.

[vital bane]

I would be too afraid to have one... Marie Curie scared me off of them..

[glossy glacier]

You can take the DOE nuclear physics and NRC radiotion worker courses online for free. When you know the dangers, you can manage them.

[vital bane]

This is true.

[alpine nova]

hi y'all

this show is particularly interesting as i have been working on the motor on my bicycle, but i don't know much about motors/controllers

actually not working on the motor itself, but the wiring between the motor, throttle and controller

i apparently destroyed my throttle and determined after deconstructing it, the sensor needs replacemenet

only because i broke one of the pins off

[heady verge]

bicycle? moped?

[alpine nova]

bicycle

i have an old hub motor/controller/throttle a friend gave me which i installed on my bike. it works sometimes, but i've had to make many repairs to it over time

there's only two wires coming from the motor and four from the controller

it is very appropriate, phil!

[waxen thistle]

LUNCHBOX! 😃 😃 😃

That's a sweet racecar kit, folks.....get ready

[blazing atlas]

\o/

[rapid hornet]

congrats @alpine nova

[waxen thistle]

Congrats!

[glossy glacier]

@alpine nova Congradulations!

[distant harbor]

Congrats @alpine nova !

[blazing atlas]

congrats @alpine nova !

[alpine nova]

yay!!! thanks y'all!

[alpine nova]

so excited

[rapid hornet]

good work!

[quick mesa]

Has anyone here had trouble with Cyclone chips getting zapped JTAG pins?

I am using a cheap "USB Blaster" clone, but they've been fine for years.

[rapid hornet]

cyclone like fpga?

[quick mesa]

Yeah. Cyclone III. Now the chip will configure (apparently), but then Quartus / SignalTap says it can't access the SigTap instance on the chip?

I don't think it's configuring properly either, so I'm suspecting one of the pins has been zapped.

[rapid hornet]

ah bummer

[quick mesa]

It has happened before, so I started adding series resistors on all JTAG lines, but I forgot to do that on this board. 😦

[rapid hornet]

writing code to use a samd21 as a usb->jtag bridge is on my list

[quick mesa]

It's definitely worth adding at least some resistors, and possibly some clamp diodes to all JTAG lines tbh.

[rapid hornet]

k, good to know

[quick mesa]

I had it happen on a previous board where it zapped the internal ESD clamp diode in the Cyc III as I plugged in the USB Blaster from the PC. I should have known. lol

The logic timings do often change when you re-compile though, so it's possible it's a marginal timing issue.

[rapid hornet]

I've only played around with an ice40

[quick mesa]

You can lower the JTAG TCK freq on newer versions of Quartus, but only version 13 still has support for the older Cyc I,II,III chips.

The crazy thing is, even the latest version of Quartus doesn't appear to add much, yet the old Quartus 13 SP1 still supports the newer Cyclone V.

[rapid hornet]

yeah, engineers like to reimplement things 😃

[rapid hornet]

phil has a meeting but then after thatsomething

[lament flume]

[analog acorn]

@lament flume Sneak previews as in "not Top Secret but not quite released yet"?

hows the audio folks?

[blazing atlas]

i can hear machines

[rapid hornet]

can you hear me?

[blazing atlas]

yup

hiii! waves

[analog acorn]

Yessir.

[blazing atlas]

cool! i have not seen this

[hollow quest]

Hi @rapid hornet. Watching you live 😃

[analog acorn]

Awesome! I love the Python keyboard!

[blazing atlas]

are those 3D printed keys?

[fallow fractal]

I was telling someone about that hover-cam the other day.

[blazing atlas]

cool and also terrifying!

have you given it a name?

[fallow fractal]

can u put the cam on the feed?

I want to see it chasing you around the shop from its point of view.

[blazing atlas]

omg!

\o yay

[fallow fractal]

<golf clap>

[rapid hornet]

@fallow fractal the drone can't record and stream at the same time apparently

@blazing atlas nope, they are from pimpmykeyboard

[uneven fossil]

[analog acorn]

I was going to order another Razer keyboard but now I'm thinking I should build one....

[uneven fossil]

😕 very expensive

[rapid hornet]

do it! my PCB files are on github

yup, not cheap though

but feather powered 😃

[analog acorn]

Have you seen how expensive a Razer is? 😃 And if I make it myself I can literally make it any way I want.

[blazing atlas]

If I didnt already have heaps of keyboards, id build one.. looks nice!

... but a custom one specifically for when i do design work is a nice thought :>>

[lament flume]

Even direct from China mechanical keys are pricy

And who knows the quality of them

[fallow fractal]

Charley Shattuck built a steno keyboard from a Feather M0.

https://github.com/CharleyShattuck/stenomod-C-M0

[lament flume]

I have a number pad peripheral that I want to stuff a pro micro into

[blazing atlas]

I'd add some dials and knobs on mine, what do you call those knobs you can use as a push button too?

[lament flume]

Rotary encoders often have buttons I think

[rapid hornet]

@lament flume they keys from signature plastics (pimpmykeyboard) are actually made in the same state that I live in

[blazing atlas]

next to photoshop i prolly use lightroom the most out of any other application.. would be so handy to have those to dial-in settings

[rapid hornet]

@blazing atlas its doable 😃

[lament flume]

@tannewt awesome! I didn't watch the stream yet

[rapid hornet]

its just me running around adafruit and chatting on discord 😛

[blazing atlas]

added it to my list of neverending things i want to build xD

[lament flume]

It's actually a nice evening in Ireland!

It's 10 o'clock and it's still warm out

It's 10 o'clock and it's still warm out

It's 10 o'clock and it's still warm out

Oh,... I sorry

[rapid hornet]

love that list @blazing atlas 😃

[lament flume]

@blazing atlas know that feeling!

@blazing atlas know that feeling!

I don't see that happen to anyone else

😦

[rapid hornet]

I think its because you are on mobile

[blazing atlas]

@lament flume doggies! also I always imagine you spelling out song lyrics when your messages dupes xD

[lament flume]

Worst song ever

😂

Yeah I mix between the two

[rapid hornet]

the live broadcast recording's audio is way shifted

[lament flume]

Ive noticed that before with adafruit YouTube of live streams though

[blazing atlas]

@lament flume I've heard worse 😆

[lament flume]

Just picking a random part of the video it seems fine @rapid hornet

[rapid hornet]

ah may be me then

[lament flume]

Maybe a tiny bit

But definitely not off putting

[fallow fractal]

There was no appreciable lack of sync between human speech (video) and human speech (audio).

[rapid hornet]

on refresh its better

good! 👍

phil has a higher quality video too

[fallow fractal]

I watched Tony live on Twitch (most recent). At some pt the sync went out; I reloaded and it was fine again.

(friday night 10:30 pm I think)

[lament flume]

https://youtu.be/a8VNBel7xZA

Just watch the start of that, video is slightly behind

(although I'm always terrible at telling which way it's wrong)

Probably worse than the video today

[rapid hornet]

yeah, its better now after I did a refresh

[fallow fractal]

I usually Download YouTube as MP4 and use VLC to correct playback issues, if it's a serious disparity.

[lament flume]

Ah yes, the old ctrl + k trick if I'm not mistaken

[fallow fractal]

BTW curious lack of #arduino here 😉

[rapid hornet]

I'm biased. Happy to add one if people want one @fallow fractal

[fallow fractal]

@lament flume can you explain this trick and it's use please?

[lament flume]

@fallow fractal are you talking about blu tac on the #general-chat trick?

[fallow fractal]

@rapid hornet well then it goes to Raspberry Pi and NeoPixel and .. and .. and 😉

[fallow fractal]

@lament flume no, the ctrl + k thing

[rapid hornet]

yup, thats why adding on demand is good

[lament flume]

its audio offset on VLC

[fallow fractal]

@lament flume ah

[gray nest]

Oh hai, live broadcast

Oh wait, youtube lied to me.

[blazing atlas]

was live a few hours ago @gray nest

[gray nest]

Yeah, I see that now

[lament flume]

@rapid hornet the audio of the drone wasn't.. Great 😂

[analog acorn]

Thank you! Order in. 😃

[distant harbor]

Hey <@&327289013561982976> ! Remember when we were talking about the whole Arduino open source or not shenanigans?

Well Arduino cc just released a subscription based IDE for Chrome OS... $1/m

So that essentially targets non profits and schools who use Chrome OS devices to keep costs down... So why the heck would Arduino CC target them for a subscription fee?

Just glad you guys are around to offer Arduino alternatives.

*End rant

In case the topic comes up again today during ask an engineer.

[analog acorn]

@open girder @rapid hornet Can I make a request for tonight's AAE? Can we get an Arduino drama update? @distant harbor brought it up and I'm interested too.

[rapid hornet]

@analog acorn I'll mention it to Phil

[distant harbor]

Here's the post from Arduino cc: https://blog.arduino.cc/2017/07/17/arduino-create-comes-to-chrome-os-devices/

[hollow quest]

That posted about the self adjusting wire strippers prompts me to (finally) get one. I have the cheapest possible kind of strippers which I've used my whole life. Time to treat myself 😃

[lament flume]

I bought one recently and it seems good, but probably too heavy

It terms of stripping thinner wires

[hollow quest]

Ah. One thing I like about my el cheapo is it is very thin and fits easily in a pocket or etc with other tools (wire cutters, forces or etc)

[lament flume]

Nearly more for stripping mains cable

[hollow quest]

Well, you have a big tool there...

[lament flume]

...

Ah it was pretty cheap so not upset over it

[hollow quest]

Yea, I checked that link and was surprised at the low cost. I may get one for use in major project and keep my small one for one-off stuff

Even it was a step up, for the longest time I just used a pocket knife to do my wire stripping

Some of my wires got a bit bloody that way 😉

[open girder]

@distant harbor & @analog acorn yup 😃

[blazing atlas]

zooms in

[waxen thistle]

I'll make some popcorn for the arduino drama update :)

@rapid hornet Thanks. I went a bit faster that I wanted to, but i keept to my time!

[rapid hornet]

yeah, you'll get it refined. the mic was a bit weird too

[glossy glacier]

@rapid hornet thats to bad. i don't get to use my old mic, so I had to barow a cheaper one.

[lament flume]

1970...

[pliant surge]

Adam - seems like Hangouts was attenuating you kind of randomly, maybe you can turn down gain on mic a bit?

[lament flume]

Nothing like a bit of ACDC on a Yukalelel

[harsh bone]

That kid was pretty good...

[glossy glacier]

@pliant surge thats odd. My mic gain was way low and I was not peakin on my monitor.

So was that adafruits first copyright strike?

[harsh bone]

Adam, was it wireless?... looked like it...

Might just be in a bad band

[waxen thistle]

live on twitch 😃

[glossy glacier]

@harsh bone Yeah, just a cheap lav mic.

[lament flume]

Just caught the end, but good job

that Yukalalee looked awesome

[hollow quest]

I haven't bought anything under an Arduino brand in years

High priced and under-featured

Plus a bad set of karma

[lament flume]

What I need more than a probe is some nice weather

[waxen thistle]

here in NYC, it's in the low-mid 90s and really nasty humidity

[lament flume]

BBQ is ireland is a rare enough thing

[distant harbor]

It's hot AF here in Michigan too

[lament flume]

We also call it dfferently to you guys

[waxen thistle]

@lament flume What is it called there?

[lament flume]

What we call "BBQ" is what you call Grilling

what we call Grilling you call Broiling

[analog acorn]

BBQ implies smoke.

[lament flume]

and What you call BBQ we would call smoking

yeah

I'm down with the American lingo 😄

[waxen thistle]

Yeah, most people here in the states think the same. Unless you've had real smoked meat, most BBQ is grilling + slather on a mollasses sauce until it's burned off.

[lament flume]

#weber4Life

BBQs are so much more expensive here than there too

like a Webel Silver or whatever you would call it

is 2-3 times the price

[fickle umbra]

@hard hollow Did you guys check the runtime on those? I'm really kinda curious how long the battery would last

[fallow fractal]

That video was really good. Amazing how two glowing eyes says HUMAN HERE in the dark.

[waxen thistle]

There's an amazing bbq place in NYC -- maybe @rapid hornet would like to know (and pass it along to anyone at adafruit). It's John Brown's Smokehouse in Long Island City. It's a bit of a haul on the E train over to Queens, but man....it's worth it.

Kansas City style smoked meats. Get the burnt ends and pulled pork. Cornbread and mac and cheese. drool

[rapid hornet]

thats closer to where maker faire nyc is right?

[waxen thistle]

eh, about 1/3rd of the way there

[analog acorn]

Aw, man, you're making me hungry!

[lament flume]

Don't tell me that...

[waxen thistle]

makerfaire is WAY out in queens, john browns is right across the river

[rapid hornet]

ah

[lament flume]

Im not sure its even possible to get low and slow bbq in Ireland

No where near me anywaya

[waxen thistle]

@lament flume Gotta do it yourself then 😉

[lament flume]

Maybe somewhere in Dublin

Send me some weather! 😂

[waxen thistle]

That's why i bought an electric smoker....back home in Pennsylvania, there's no good BBQ around. Most is grilled + sauce. No. Just....no. That's not proper bbq.

@lament flume Cloudy? Rainy?

[lament flume]

Both

Often

[fickle umbra]

@lament flume I'll trade some rain for the 30C days we're having...

[lament flume]

That's the good 30c

Right?

Not the snowing 30C 😂

[fickle umbra]

Er, I meant to type 38c, which is 100f

def not snowing

[lament flume]

[blazing atlas]

I want to build one now-- to control my octopi.. arcade controls on a 3D printer with a big red stop button i can mash for emergency stop x)

[rapid hornet]

I love all of the controller hacking

[blazing atlas]

same, also like the sound that arcade buttons make

used to go to Gameworks in seattle a lot and the arcades under the space needle before it turned chihuly

[rapid hornet]

@blazing atlas are you in seattle? (I am too)

[blazing atlas]

I feel I missed out

[rapid hornet]

the SEM was working live

[waxen thistle]

That. is. awesome.

[blazing atlas]

peltier?

[harsh bone]

@glossy glacier ... They make Tuneable Inductors

[lament flume]

I guessed by try reaction and the @glossy glacier ,good job Adam

I'll check it out tomorrow

[haughty quiver]

@harsh bone @rapid hornet weird, I'm on my wired connection, and incoming video looks great

[waxen thistle]

Conductive mosfet.

[rapid hornet]

@haughty quiver whats your upload speed?

[lament flume]

@haughty quiver it got better, but initially it was very blocky

[nimble egret]

@rapid hornet , Thank you for the link

[harsh bone]

@glossy glacier Peltier cooler... Adafruit has some

Prod# 1331 for example

[rapid hornet]

np @nimble egret did you make it?

[nimble egret]

yes i did

[rapid hornet]

you did the glowing adabox?

[haughty quiver]

6Mbps up

[nimble egret]

my son did a cameo, lol

[rapid hornet]

awesome!

[nimble egret]

yeah

😀

[rapid hornet]

@haughty quiver weird, maybe it was your cpu

[lament flume]

I don't even have 6Mb down 😐

[harsh bone]

@haughty quiver ... It wasn't happy...

[haughty quiver]

lol, sorry @lament flume lot of good it did me : )

I am running on a fairly elderly computer...

[blazing atlas]

@lament flume you speaking to us from sleep?

[analog acorn]

@haughty quiver Hows the AC working out? 😃

[haughty quiver]

OMG, it's so nice to have AC in here

[gaunt plume]

@blazing atlas his watchdog timer didnt expire yet 😉

[blazing atlas]

@gaunt plume XD!!!

[lament flume]

@blazing atlas you sound like my mom

[waxen thistle]

I'm in NJ, and man...the past few weeks, I don't know if I could've survived without AC

[haughty quiver]

@waxen thistle I dig. It was over 100 here in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. That's when I decided it was time to get AC

[blazing atlas]

@lament flume 😄 boils ya a pot of tea

[waxen thistle]

How was the humidity, @haughty quiver ?

[lament flume]

☕

Guys just move to Ireland, you'll have terrible Internet but no need for AC

[waxen thistle]

Phil sounds like he's doing the Animaniac's song "Countries of the World" when he talks about where DHL is shipping to!

[rapid hornet]

I thought ladyada was doing overwatch

[glossy glacier]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I am so happy this scope is finaly working!

[analog acorn]

@glossy glacier That was so freaking cool!

[nimble egret]

Nice work @glossy glacier

[waxen thistle]

@glossy glacier Awesome work man, you're so enthusastic with this!

[glossy glacier]

It is so hot in my shop. I am drawing about 25 amps right now, the majority of that is being turned into heat...

Next step is adding a plug for my fan...

[paper peak]

@glossy glacier which part(s) of the microscope draw the most current?

[rapid hornet]

lol, priorities. SEM then fan

[glossy glacier]

@paper peak The vacuum pumps and water chiller draws a lot. The rotary vain pump is not bad, but the high vacuum oil diffusion pump is literaly a big heater!

[rapid hornet]

it'll be nice in the winter

[paper peak]

so, everything, except maybe the actual electron source !

[glossy glacier]

@paper peak That is only about 3 amps...

@paper peak The rest of the scope does about 7.5.

My water chiller is supper crazy in efficent right now. That alone does 10 amps.

[blazing atlas]

also feats mysterious inky screen

Good bot

[analog acorn]

Gonna have a mongo mailbag video next week. I keep a "next order" wishlist on Adafruit, and I just looked. It's over 400 bucks of stuff. 😃

[fallow fractal]

@analog acorn Your wallet probably hates you

[distant harbor]

@analog acorn Free shipping! haha

[waxen thistle]

@analog acorn I keep a OneNote very much like that, and the discount code really helps...it's a great incentive to spend just a wee bit more too 😃

[rapid hornet]

thanks for paying for me @analog acorn

[blazing atlas]

aw swt

[analog acorn]

Hahahaha. Glad to help out! 😃

[distant harbor]

When I order stuff in Adafruit, it's usually in large orders too.

[blazing atlas]

hahaha

Self birthday and Christmas presents

[blazing atlas]

[analog acorn]

@distant harbor That would work for me too if I didn't order weekly. 😃

Freaky weird people rule.

[rapid hornet]

braces for arduino news

[waxen thistle]

gets the popcorn ready.

[analog acorn]

And the Intel news! Did you read PT's blog post on it this morning?

[glossy glacier]

@glossy glacier Also, as far as I know, the other people who own a scope are Ben Kravsno with his JEOL and DIY scope (http://benkrasnow.blogspot.com/), Sam Zelof (http://sam.zeloof.xyz/), Bob who owns a ISI super IIIA like me (http://members.tm.net/lapointe2/Scanning_Electron_Microscope.html), John Mcmaster who also has a ISI super IIIA (http://uvicrec.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-new-toy-arrives.html), Jerry Biehler with a Hitachi S-450 (https://hackaday.io/project/3281-hitachi-s-450-scanning-electron-microscope), my contact in sweeden with another ISI super IIIA, Andrew Back with some cambridge instruments scope (https://twitter.com/9600?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author) and a couple of others that I am probably forgetting.

Not exactly. More that they're not making Arduino compatible boards anymore.

[distant harbor]

Ahhhh okay

[analog acorn]

The blog post that Phil wrote had an interesting viewpoint...

[glossy glacier]

Was my audio better this week?

[analog acorn]

Yeah!

[rapid hornet]

definitely @glossy glacier

What a shame, ya know? They could've done so much with the momentum they had.

[rapid hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

we'll keep on rocking

[trail zephyr]

this arduino stuff is so confusing lol I just want an open source board I can play with..is that too much to ask? lol

[rapid hornet]

yeah, it should be simple right

[inner spade]

@rapid hornet is there support for the M0 RFM69 in the works?

[waxen thistle]

Float away from this drama, on a feather. 🐦

[rapid hornet]

@inner spade not actively

though you aren't the first to ask

[kindred socket]

Well if you know how to hook up a feather M0 and RFM69, can't be that hard

[blazing atlas]

oohs at the GPS bits

[inner spade]

I'll be patient. Have an legacy project with those that I'd love to convert to CP.
