Any esp32wrover feather on the way?

[lilac eagle]

We got an unofficial yes @ocean musk

[dark crane]

Where's tonyD ?

[strong spear]

What the distance on the Adafruit APDS9960

[round willow]

Does the gif camera need wifi?

[steady fox]

We should have blade runner type projects or popular science fiction movies.

[ocean musk]

@dark crane tony d is on a hike

[versed karma]

wrover is 32mb storage and 32mb ram

[rapid hornet]

got a link @versed karma ?

[dire bane]

i'd guess you could use it for an IoT mailbox sensor

[lament flume]

@ocean musk what are you making that needs mega levels of sensors?

[raven rapids]

[versed karma]

@rapid hornet https://dl.espressif.com/doc/esp-idf/latest/hw-reference/modules-and-boards.html wrover module

[ocean musk]

@lament flume trying to replicate this http://vtol.cc/filter/works/motorgan

[steady fox]

I just love this adafruit company.

[tawny lagoon]

If you could create a position within the company, at no cost to you, what would be the job description?

[steady fox]

Ohm - bit - stab

[brittle nebula]

is it a full TriCorder?

[blazing atlas]

yay grats!

[dire bane]

@ocean musk try multiplexing inputs for that project

[round willow]

Canada!

[blazing atlas]

Wohoo canadians are taking ovahh

[rapid hornet]

@versed karma thanks! I've seen the psram discussion on micropython's forums

[strange mantle]

silent curtains?

[round willow]

Wave your hand and the curtain goes

[versed karma]

I ordered a wrover board/kit from analoglamb just to give it a try but of course I'd rather go with a feather if/when available.

[glossy glacier]

Ok, so I am still out here in my shop and I really want to get this vacuum leak fixed. Electron Microscope live stream starting soon!

[brittle nebula]

TTFN

[river peak]

A Vacuum leak? That sucks.

[eager sapphire]

Think I just figured out who would be thumbing down the show on youtube - the random chatters with naughty icons, probably.

[quick veldt]

Ok

[glossy glacier]

@river peak Oh yeah. This one is not big enough to do compresed air testing either.... It is a minor one, but big enough to be a no go on runing the SEM.

[quick veldt]

That was fun even though I dropped in at 8:40

[dire bane]

that blows...

[versed karma]

@rapid hornet yeah, this "loboris" person (you've probably seen it if you've been looking at the psram discussions) has built up quite a bit more of the esp32 port for it. Glad to see that RTC is in there because not having it in the main builds has been killing me.

[river peak]

@glossy glacier Is it in relation to the cleaning you did the other day?

[glossy glacier]

No, I have the scan colum capped off right now, so it is in the valve assembly.

[rapid hornet]

@versed karma nice! its on my radar but we're focused on the SAMD21 and SAMD51 at the moment

[dire bane]

there were naughty icons?

[eager sapphire]

You gotta squint a bit

[rapid hornet]

ok, I gotta run! bye all

[brittle nebula]

Does anyone have a preferred Android BLE Heart Monitor App for their phone. H Band looks unusable.

[shell mason]

hmm i didnt get any questions and what was a giveaway

for me ask for engineer stopped in new new new secment

[steady fox]

Has anyone installed the discord on Linux mint (mate) 18.1 64bit?

[paper peak]

@steady fox I installed on Ubuntu 16.04 with a cinnamon desktop

[shell mason]

i think i uninstall discord to my main pc as well

i didnt get notification from this channel for new messages and i have recently get new notification when my i was last write a message and it was scrolled up

[waxen thistle]

@ocean musk That foot pedal -- do you already have it, or is it on the way?

(apologies if you answered that question earlier, I didn't see it above...been out for most of the evening)

[shell mason]

ok so when i get ask of engineer feed it was behind already and it ended when phil ended the stream but as it was delayed it never catched up to the end

what comes to discord it seems that why it wasnt showing new messages to this channel was that i had discord open on this channel in pc as i was looking from laptop browser

[ocean musk]

@waxen thistle i got it

[waxen thistle]

@ocean musk what do you think of it? Is it a stiff or softer actuation? Noisy? Would you get it again?

[ocean musk]

@waxen thistle its fairly quiet and doesnt have that forceful click like a sewing machine pedal. Its built quite well for the price and also has lots of room inside box for fitting other stuff. Or even designing a taller lid to fit stuff in.

[shell mason]

@ocean musk how is the hunt for foodpedal?

[ocean musk]

@shell mason i think im going to just use the pedal action for shutter trigger, maybe put in a momentary lever on top or something if focus needed. Most time if doing overhead the focus is set to manual anyway

[ocean musk]

@haughty quiver any sneak peeks on what todays show will be?

[haughty quiver]

Yes @ocean musk it'll be a bit of a toy hack/mod...

[ocean musk]

awesome!

[shell mason]

so hack and mod in the today Workshop plate @haughty quiver

[shell mason]

same time as last week your show @haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]

Yes, thanks, it'll be hacking and modding at 1pm PST / 4pm EST / 20 UTC

[waxen thistle]

@Stuff With Kirby#8486 Did you decide to use that particular pedal, or a different one than the "TEMCO HEAVY DUTY FOOT SWITCH CN0003 - 1 QTY CAST ALUMINUM 15A SPDT ELECTRIC PEDAL MOMENTARY"

[lament flume]

Timezones are so confusing, I took a straw poll of my family and asked each of them what timezone we are in, everyone answered GMT

But currently we are in IST

[shell mason]

think if they answered our timezone

[lament flume]

So when someone is organising something and wants to let people in london/Dublin what time it's at, they nearly need to incorrectly use GMT

You're in Finland @shell mason ?

[shell mason]

yeah

[lament flume]

I think yours is CET is it? Same as Berlin/Paris etc

[shell mason]

+2 from UK

[lament flume]

+2 from GMT?

Cause UK is currently +1 from GMT

[shell mason]

now in +3 UTC

[lament flume]

It's 17:30 here

Ah ok

[shell mason]

so it's always +2 from UK time

[lament flume]

Cool, didn't know that!

[shell mason]

when you switch the sametime

from summer time to winter time

Sweden is -1 from Finland time

[haughty quiver]

if it helps you guys @lament flume @shell mason I'll keep including UTC when I post times

[shell mason]

it helps

[haughty quiver]

K! P.S. I have no idea when it switched from GMT to UTC.

[shell mason]

it have same meaning

but i guess UTC is easier to think than GMT

[haughty quiver]

(testing chat setup)

[neat sedge]

i heard that.

[waxen thistle]

I heard that too.

[haughty quiver]

(whad ya hear?)

(because I'm singing Vulfpeck songs to myself and my mic is on, even thought I'm not broadcasting yet. I think.)

I'll be live in 5 minutes.

[ocean musk]

I heard the oscar mayer weiner song

[solid wyvern]

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

[analog acorn]

YouTube is good!

[haughty quiver]

audio ok on video?

the pre made one that is

[inner spade]

audio good

[analog acorn]

Sounds great on YouTube

[haughty quiver]

thx

[shell mason]

the code part I think some layout to it @haughty quiver can add chat to side like @hard hollow and @rocky reef have in 3D hangout

@lament flume have you done projects like John is doing?

nice sketch diagram there

Pico Projector was cool but the parts of it or making wearable project with that would be nice

[inner spade]

I use blue painter's tape a lot to secure the pcb to the work surface. Usually no vice.

... or vise.

soft tactile?

[sturdy quail]

Adafruit: do you have any EEG (electroencephalogram brain activity) solutions?

[haughty quiver]

test

[quick flame]

Yep

[shell mason]

working fine

[quick flame]

Thanks

I dont have one...

[lament flume]

I'm just after finishing playing soccer @shell mason so I'm not watching yet

I think he mentioned that he was modifying a toy

It's on my todo list 😂

[shell mason]

@haughty quiver is hacking and modifying nightlight turtle

[inner spade]

internal pullup is 20k. would guess that 200 ohm should cause a digital low = 33mV

-ish

can you measure voltage when powered?

on switch input?

it's all good, JP - hard to do live, but is good example of iterative thought process. that's valuable for us.

sparky!

[shell mason]

@haughty quiver have earned badge @open girder

[eager sapphire]

...and, he has actual witnesses

[viscid warren]

Not a bust. I found it most educational.

[inner spade]

worthwhile. thanks JP.

[eager sapphire]

Sometimes the carbon layer is worn off on those switches

But usually show up 'jumpy' on a meter

[inner spade]

carbon dots inside hit pads on pcb

[eager sapphire]

Yeah, and lay down more carbon from the pencil lead end

[earnest ermine]

you need a "fail" prop

[eager sapphire]

That's a fine solution, really

[earnest ermine]

agreed on the educational, its nice to see folks working through the problems etc.

[eager sapphire]

Can you non-destructively take apart that switch?

Really curious about the mechanics

Looks like the carbon dot solution

(Sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story)

Clean them with alcohol

?

Or would that remove the carbon

[inner spade]

just tack on some regular tactile swithches

[faint nymph]

Could the switches each provide a different voltage?

[inner spade]

clicky

[whole gale]

Thanks Mr Park, I liked watching the reversing engineering. Hope you do some more vids where you mod stuff. Good luck finishing this project off

[eager sapphire]

It really is helpful to see the iterative process in these videos, much is picked up

[earnest ermine]

I second Matambale

[shell mason]

switches change

[inner spade]

use capacitive pin approach?

[eager sapphire]

Great show, again, @haughty quiver , thank you

[viscid warren]

Time well spent. Thanks John.

[haughty quiver]

you're very welcome all!

[inner spade]

👍

[haughty quiver]

must resist urge to keep hacking on this when I've got my Adabox 005 project to document!

[inner spade]

good luck with that!

i took a long look at your 'cluttered workshop' view to see if there were any 005 hints/clues

sadly, no

[shell mason]

007 the bond look @inner spade

[haughty quiver]

haha! I think there are, but very difficult to gain much insight with those ; )

[glacial tendon]

we are number one

[lament flume]

I watched the first few minutes of the stream back and I'm really curious how it will turn out (I have the spoiler alert of the though! )

I got to the pro trinket breadboard part but I need to go to bed

I think @shell mason what you might be thinking of is I did hack lights for my daughter but there were more like Christmas lights than a toy like this

But what I would like to do is modify a toy to allow my daughter to be able to control the lights

[shell mason]

@lament flume I was thinking your RC cars

[haughty quiver]

cool @lament flume the breadboarded part worked well -- but stay tuned for me to get snagged by resistive touch buttons!
I think I'll continue it next week

[shell mason]

@lament flume like having lights in those cars

[lament flume]

Very envious of that helping hand/ solder stand from JP's stream last night

ah now he's using Blu-tack, more on my level 😛

only about 16 hours late, but not too much @haughty quiver , I think its been mentioned but I added an ESP8266 to a toy car at weekend . I also plan to modify a toy to enable my daughter to control a set of lights in her room (just need to find a nice sacrifcial toy 😃 )

[shell mason]

Ikea light

[lament flume]

not at the moment @shell mason they are hopefully for wedding (If I can get them done in time), but i should have maybe 10 of the spare afterwards so she can definitly have a few 😃

I gotta make myself one of those scene changer devices for streams!

[shell mason]

I need one of those too

as i want to get more cameras

I shot and uploaded unboxing video yesterday

[lament flume]

oh cool

[shell mason]

so it would be easier for even livestream

[lament flume]

Do you upload in Finnish? (is that even the right word for the language of Finland)

[shell mason]

yeah it is

but I mostly do in english

[lament flume]

You should post one of the videos in the #show-and-tell

I have a Logitech webcam is my main camera that i use (C920) what i really like about it is it has a mount point for a tripod adapter

Sometimes i borrow my C910 from work if i need a second camera

[shell mason]

I am looking portable option what have Intel Realsense

as I could add gesture control as well

[lament flume]

The c910 doesnt have the mount point

that would be cool!

[shell mason]

Microsoft have this Project Prague where you can add custom gestures

so lets say you do a gesture with 2 hands like showing and saying it put overlay between your hands

that tech need depth supported camera

[lament flume]

I would have thought @inner spade is correct in terms of once the resistince of the button was less than the pullup it would still work as expected

Nice tip on the rubbing alcahol on the hot glue

Well correction, not less, it would become a voltage divider, but the values of the resisors in the divider would have it measuting on a couple of mV on the pin which would surely be enough to pull it down

@haughty quiver I guess maybe a next step would be measure the voltage on the input pin with and without pressing the button, but maybe it is bouncing like crazy though so it might not help

[analog acorn]

That's what I was going to suggest to @haughty quiver, @lament flume - you beat me to it. I would definitely measure the voltages on coming through the buttons to determine the path forward. I would also suggest measuring at the button itself and then at the pin (to isolate the wiring).

[haughty quiver]

thanks @lament flume and @analog acorn great ideas, I'll give them a try.

[shell mason]

Matrix would helps for those buttons

[haughty quiver]

like a keypad @shell mason

[lament flume]

I was just glad the was only an LED 😃

I was fearing the worst for the little turtle

[shell mason]

when @haughty quiver become a Neo from Matrix

[haughty quiver]

;)

@lament flume I actually now realize I don't think I smoked that LED -- I just temporarily lit it up via a short... gotta fish it outta the trash and see.

[lament flume]

yeah it seemed to go very quickly

[tawny lily]

[vast hornet]

wondering what works on electircal contacts to refresh surface.
I assume it would be same for old push wire contacts as it would be for contacts in a DSLR camera. My camera focus electricl contacts seem to be flaky.

[paper peak]

@vast hornet Sometimes just a pencil eraser will do it.

[vast hornet]

thanks

[brittle nebula]

@haughty quiver what was the deal with the starry night turtle switches? are they wired like SIP resistors with a common ground? Would enabling PU/PD on input pins help?

[pastel pike]

I there a 3d printing show today?

[shell mason]

@rocky reef or @hard hollow can answer for it

[pastel pike]

I do not see it scheduled

[analog acorn]

@pastel pike I see @hard hollow and @Pedro are back online, but given they were just hit by a hurricane I will personally issue a dispensation to miss this week. 😉

[shell mason]

it's up to them

[hard hollow]

hola dudes yea we're OK – setting up for the show today

[pastel pike]

[rocky reef]

yep, just finished rehearsing

[eager sapphire]

The show must go on! Eh?

Great that you guys made it through fine

[rocky reef]

yes, alot of our friends and family got hit really bad

still no power in a lot of areas

[eager sapphire]

Have a cousin in Largo, house is fine, his gate blew out but otherwise all is ok, power came back on yesterday morning

[shell mason]

from youtube in xbox

[analog acorn]

Just glad you are all safe. Damage can be repaired, but injuries/deaths cannot.

[opal wolf]

Good to see that you made it through the storm.

[kind thicket]

morning

bad tree xD

i hope they replant one though

[shell mason]

@rocky reef have 3D printed coffee mug handle?

[kind thicket]

i was to get my 3d printer today but delayed till tomorrow 😦

[gentle wraith]

3d hangouts banner is fixed! not thursdays anymore 😉

[kind thicket]

i almost moved to florida but glad I didnt. Michigan just gets cold

how expensive is it to live where the same day shipping is?

[shell mason]

3D printed chatroom right there in the side

[solid wyvern]

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

[kind thicket]

i had been wondering about a rock tumbler and ceramic bits for pla finishing

han solo in carbonite would look awesome in that metal

[analog acorn]

QQ: what's better for gluing PLA - CA or epoxy?

[rocky reef]

we use E6000 or just super glue

[kind thicket]

id like a dronie over a tony

[shell mason]

Superglue 101

[analog acorn]

Oooh E6000! Magic sailboat repair adhesive!

[rocky reef]

ah yes, the tumblers work really well for these

[kind thicket]

had u tried to tumble pla yet?

[lilac eagle]

patina

@hard hollow

[analog acorn]

Non 3D pondering - I wonder what drone they have. I think it's a DJI but I'm not sure which model.

[rocky reef]

we have the phantom 4, spark and mavic pro

[analog acorn]

@rocky reef Thank you!!! That Phantom is a sweet machine.

[kind thicket]

well eagle has a free version for all too

[rocky reef]

yes, phantom works great in windy conditions

[kind thicket]

i had not gotten eagle to fusion 360 integration to work yet. f360 drew my board incorrectly

[shell mason]

Fusion360 to Eagle integration think of it

[kind thicket]

autodesk recently added it but i hope works better soon

[shell mason]

think you get the part then need top part of the button to use in eagle

[kind thicket]

that learn.adafruit tutorial was good. but yes way out of date now

[fringe swift]

I'm really looking forward to getting the 3d versions of the parts so they transfer into Fusion360

[rocky reef]

link to the eagle lib for now https://github.com/djecken/Eagle-Parts

[fringe swift]

and make pretty visuals there.

[kind thicket]

that will be very usefull angrycub

[lilac eagle]

that's fancy

the milled PCBs

[analog acorn]

@lilac eagle Yeah, the Maker Garage has a number of mills, so I'll be buying the blank boards and tools for doing PCBs...

I think I like the copper game pad instead of the "professionally" produced PCB....

[fringe swift]

I need to find a local makerspace.

I think the milled pcbs to have a pretty cool look there

[dire bane]

home made plotter using old optical drives work too - you can then etch them

[shell mason]

what about 3D printed PCBs

@hard hollow @rocky reef so EagleCAD <==> Fusion360 integration

[kind thicket]

what is othermils called now? I didnt quite get that

[lilac eagle]

I need to see if I have access to something like that

please do make a video on milling PCBs!

[kind thicket]

im looking to use a laser and the laser paint method of making a pcb

[lilac eagle]

from twitch chat: "MineOreProphet: Limor did a video of milling a pcb."

[kind thicket]

liquid tin is good for that

[dire bane]

yeah, but it's expensive unless you're making tonnes of boards

UV soldermask is cheaper and easier

and you can choose your colours

[kind thicket]

i have to go. bye 😦

[lilac eagle]

oh, that's nifty @dire bane !

[sterile forge]

where do you get the self adjusting wire stripper

[hard hollow]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O0SOEI2/

[lilac eagle]

I just searched amazon

oh wow that's even cheaper!

[opal wolf]

The downside of that kind of stripper is that it doesn't work great with silicone insulation.

[analog acorn]

I should put my high power rocket flight computer in #show-and-tell

[eager sapphire]

This is one continuous after-party

Great show as always thanks R bros

[shell mason]

TypeR bros

[rocky reef]

thanks for watching folks!

[lament flume]

I have the same wire strippers , it's awesome

[analog acorn]

@haughty quiver definitely will be listening

[blazing atlas]

OMG! YAY! but honestly DHL is amazing. 1-day delivery to Canada

[dire bane]

shame there's nothing for Australia

[harsh bone]

YES!... Longer!

[nocturne turtle]

That's great news!

[heavy siren]

I like 30 minutes.

[strong spear]

4pm urghh, that's my commuting time.

[waxen thistle]

4pm eastern....that's called "trapped on the subway"

[heavy siren]

What's nice is it's project to project with no inbetween filler.

[nocturne turtle]

@open girder I know doing it longer is difficult, but just fifteen minutes more minutes might be a good idea. But if that is too difficult, thats totally understandable!

[blazing atlas]

I wish I had a CNC machine 😢

[haughty quiver]

how's your data reception on the subway @waxen thistle ?

[regal garnet]

Which CNC kit did you get, @haughty quiver

[waxen thistle]

@blazing atlas Everyone seems to like the Other Mill from what I've seen.

[blazing atlas]

😃 would be fun to play with

[haughty quiver]

it's the 3'x2' benchtop kit from CNCRouterParts

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver Sadly, not good enough for streaming.

[distant harbor]

Mad props to @paper peak !!!

[nocturne turtle]

Sounds like a lot of people are on the West Coast here? (that's where its four right?)

[waxen thistle]

I love the Scott in the Crawlspace project.

[regal garnet]

Had to have a little fun!

[distant harbor]

@analog acorn Me too

[willow pollen]

i'd love one - but the price is too high - so i'll just build one 😃

[regal garnet]

Might make an RFM68 gateway too. We'll see.

[ocean musk]

sounds like someone got upset that they already had the items

i could always use another pi

[analog acorn]

But I have to resubscribe to get 007!

[distant harbor]

@ocean musk Must be. Duplicates are fine, make more projects with stuff you have experience with

[regal garnet]

I get the AdaBox for my Son -- cuz I'm a cranky old Linux guy too.

[ocean musk]

or even try a riskier project where you might damage theboard

[heavy siren]

@open girder Exactly. It's complete.

[harsh bone]

[willow pollen]

the look on his face when ladyada said "you can play minecraft" was magic

[ocean musk]

i remember renting a sega from video store to play sonic

But when do you ship my adabox?

[distant harbor]

Right. They are clear on who the Adabox is for.

[round willow]

“You can play minecraft?!?!?!?!”😃

[thorn adder]

I love it and this one will be going to my 5 year old nephew! keep it up!

[open girder]

[haughty quiver]

kid was stoked!

[harsh bone]

I'm getting 20 AdaBoxes and clustering them 😉

[distant harbor]

Sure can @round willow !

[round willow]

That was my quote

[green pagoda]

I love Adabox, I never know what direction to go in and try to learn so I like the direction it gives me to try something new.

[heavy siren]

The rocket MUST survive. Otherwise certification is lost.

[distant harbor]

You can even mod Minecraft with Python @round willow

[ocean musk]

i like playing openttd on the pi also

[fallow fractal]

skipped my show and tell

[haughty quiver]

@harsh bone that's awesome -- I've seen Pi clusters, but never Pi Zero clusters, that would rock

[round willow]

@green pagoda that’s why I love them

[shy cipher]

I don't have 50 Pi Zeros, but since I can only buy them for a reasonable price when I'm on vacation near a Microcenter (and buy 1 per visit), I suppose I do have more than I really need

I wonder if maker faire chicago is still gonna happen this year

[hollow lion]

Could you add me to the NY World Maker Faire list? Thanks , Sally

[harsh bone]

Cool.. How do I get in to the NYC Maker Faire one?... I'll be there!

[willow pollen]

[haughty quiver]

@hollow lion tag @open girder or @river orbit to get on that channel

[distant harbor]

[open girder]

yah, go to #event and request it up!

i'll do a screencast on this, this week

[willow pollen]

the "women in hardware" series is going to be great. the first two, with the engineer from autodesk was really interesting.

[distant harbor]

I'll have to show this vid and the other "Women in hardware" vids to the non-profit I volunteer for

They have a special group to get girls into STEM curriculum/activities.

[zealous palm]

@fallow fractal right!? No sharing!!!

[haughty quiver]

[willow pollen]

[eager sapphire]

Yes

[open girder]

that being said, most cool events love the video video factory tours and live q&a here in a USA manufacturing place

[fickle umbra]

@haughty quiver Did someone give you coffee?

[open girder]

they get it 😃

[severe stag]

@haughty quiver you move so quickly!

[inner spade]

@open girder: that's how they get sponsor support. They like the "lobbist" approach to gaining new customers.

[open girder]

yup

the sponsors are sold on being able to trap folks like limor in person

not a great deal for limor

[inner spade]

'zactly\

[haughty quiver]

@fickle umbra I gave me coffee. Then I gave me more coffee

[willow pollen]

yeah, she can't fact check them while they talk

[fickle umbra]

@haughty quiver Good. Gotta keep the making fueled!

[eager sapphire]

You gotta be generous with yourself, sometimes.

[distant harbor]

Woot woot!!!

@haughty quiver nice foley, too

[open girder]

also, it seems weird to use jet fuel to go do a talk for 20 mins

[haughty quiver]

[willow pollen]

cons: uses jet fuel pros:you get to spend time with the TSA

[fallow fractal]

@haughty quiver One small suggestion for an otherwise outstanding video- try making it go just a little faster, or edit out the pauses that occur in real time. Just a suggestion, I ran into this with my teardown videos.

[distant harbor]

#circuitpython-dev

[fickle umbra]

@willow pollen "Pros"... I don't think that word means what you think it means 😉

[willow pollen]

lol

[haughty quiver]

thanks @fallow fractal good advice -- I'll put that into play when I deal with the 16 hours of the build video I shot : )

[eager sapphire]

Worked remotely for a VA company for nearly a decade - flying out there periodically was frustrating, burned the time I needed to complete the work rather than just talk about it after a long plane ride...

I'm still learning, but it's great practice for filming, editing, etc.

I shipped that drill off to Jimmy Diresta this week as a thank you- his channel is awesome and was very inspiring to me

[willow pollen]

[distant harbor]

@fallow fractal Jimmy Diresta is fun to watch

[fallow fractal]

He's very accessible too, his community vibe is very similar to Adafruit- very positive

[waxen thistle]

I had the pleasure of hearing Jimmy Diresta speak last year at Maker Faire 😃

[willow pollen]

this fixture is cool - looks like it has it's own clamps incorporated into it

[rapid hornet]

thats a giant mill

[heavy siren]

We called them jigs.

[fallow fractal]

Does anyone have a timestamp for the AIY kit? havent tuned in yet, but was looking if the m0 was in stock...and saw that... and then I was happy

I also tried adding music functionality to it

[severe stag]

that's a new one to me

[vital bane]

is the volume low for everyone else?

[willow pollen]

glad it's not just me that had never heard of paper printing

[ocean musk]

thats a fancy solder fume extractor

[distant harbor]

So jealous of that lab

[past pawn]

Is there an estimate on the amount of AIY kits that will be in the shop? it would really hurt to have it sell out yet again... yet again... yet again.. ... yet again..

@BusesCanFly#2237 you can build one without the kit - most of it is a breakout

tell them to mute the stream while calling

[harsh bone]

Uh oh!....

[rapid hornet]

someone on youttube got the voicemail

[severe inlet]

The questions are too difficult

[harsh bone]

Can I call and just say hi? 😉

[nocturne turtle]

@open girder The people that called say the voicmail is all they got!

[ivory kiln]

@rapid hornet Nothing in particular, I'm still learning & trying to wrap my brain around all of this coolness. I got to see the data sheets & what not for the Gemma MO but not the other two. So I thought I'd ask.

[willow pollen]

too many people dialled to win all the LEDs

[round willow]

It kept going to voicemail☹️

[waxen thistle]

I got a pair of Lora breakouts back in the day, very fun 😃 That led me to get some Lora feathers 😃

[rapid hornet]

@ivory kiln do you mean the learn guides? the datasheet for the microcontroller is all the same

[regal garnet]

run a little Asterisk PBX

[heavy siren]

It's better to have tried and crashed then to never have tried at all.

[viral sail]

Thanks and good night.

[blazing atlas]

have a good night!

[heavy siren]

Good Night World! ><>

[fiery coyote]

I am making a retropi and I was wondering if I could use my steam controller some say on online and some say yes

[opal wolf]

You'll have to hire Lily Tomplin... one ringy dingy, two ringy dingy...

[harsh bone]

[distant harbor]

Night all!

[heavy siren]

Good Night @open girder Another great webcast.

[waxen thistle]

Thank you @open girder!

[lethal lagoon]

night! fun show 😃

[willow pollen]

i thought the content was great two years ago when I got addicted to the adafruit youtube channel - but it just keeps getting better and better...

[ocean musk]

time to back to figuring out this sparkx game

[past pawn]

I have to say, cheesy as it is, after a day of school and hard exercise.... adafruit streams on wednesdays are always something special

thank you!

[urban gale]

woohoo! please add me to Maker Faire! I'm goin!

[rapid hornet]

@urban gale in ny? (not seattle?)

[urban gale]

yup

[rapid hornet]

@urban gale done

[urban gale]

my first time. I was at the first and only DC MF

@rapid hornet thx!

[rapid hornet]

awesome! I went last year. there is a lot to see

[urban gale]

gonna wear comfy shoes

[rapid hornet]

we'll coordinate in #world-maker-faire

folks are giving talks and we'll meet up at the digi key booth beforehand probably

[urban gale]

sweet!

[ivory kiln]

@rapid hornet
Ya I realize that it's the same, O wait a minute, doesn't the Trinket MO & Gemma MO use the smaller version of that same microprocessor then the Circuit play ground?
It's the Schematic & Fabrication Print like what is shown for the Gemma MO on: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-gemma-m0/downloads
The schematic in particular that helped me understand stuff a lil better.

[rapid hornet]

@ivory kiln its actually the same difference. the size difference is due to the extra spi flash chips on the express boards

without it 64k of the internal flash is used for the file system

ok, I'm off. ping me if more folks need to be added to events

[urban gale]

night

[ivory kiln]

Ah, ok Thanks @rapid hornet . Have a great night

[terse perch]

Did I miss it?

[brittle nebula]

ASF4 ??? what is it?

[fickle umbra]

@brittle nebula ASF4 is the low-level library that makes the M4s work, IIRC

[brittle nebula]

@fickle umbra By M4s, I take your meaning to be Arm Cortex M4s. Thanks for the breadcrumb!

[fickle umbra]

Ah, yes....

[brittle nebula]

Via Google search, I found a tutorial shows how to use the ASF or Atmel Software Framework in Atmel Studio 7 for ARM Cortex microcontrollers.

You know they, the great tinkers, used to say: "Necessity is the mother of invention." Therefore, I entered "ASF4" into the search box above, here in Discord, and found many uses of the term: ASF4.

[paper peak]

@brittle nebula ASF3 (Atmel Software Framework 3) is a static collection of software libraries provided by MicroChip/Atmel for their chips. In the past couple of years, they came up with "ATMEL Start" (aka ASF4), which is a web-based program builder where you pick and choose your components for a particular project on a particular chip. Though this is convenient for small programs, it's moredifficult for us to use: we need a large number of libraries and need to support multiple chips from the same code base.

[analog acorn]

@paper peak Ouch, so they treat it kind of like an Arduino?

It sounds like they intended it to be used only in embedded systems.

[paper peak]

@analog acorn Something like that, I guess. It makes life easier (maybe) for a single-use application for a single chip. That is probably a lot of their market. It means the code is not full of #ifdef's. But we need those to support multiple chips. It would be nice if they provided the software just packaged up as a zip.

[shell mason]

today there is @haughty quiver Workshop same Workshop time

[analog acorn]

@paper peak It definitely makes your lives a lot harder!

[haughty quiver]

Yes, thanks @shell mason I'll be on at the regular time, Thursdays @ 4pm EST / 1pm PST / 20:00 GMT

[haughty quiver]

test

[shell mason]

feedback

sorry return("test")

[haughty quiver]

live now!

[dire bane]

it's live

[haughty quiver]

roll call, where are we live?

thanks @dire bane

[dire bane]

Live in Australia!!

[shell mason]

Hounted House

[haughty quiver]

cool! on YT?

[sterile forge]

sounds good

[dire bane]

yes, YT

didn't know it was also on FB

[green pagoda]

Hi

[shell mason]

yeah youtube is cool

[solid wyvern]

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

[shell mason]

PiZ

PiZombie

[green pagoda]

Those dates are right!

[sterile forge]

why don't you do 1 hr parts annd put them in playlist

corona park in queens

[misty pendant]

How far is chat delayed

[eager sapphire]

Sound is fine here

Woo

Gah! Thought the pumpkins were frightening, what the..

[dire bane]

it would be real cool if the eyes follow you!

[eager sapphire]

They alllreeaddddyy dooooo thaaaaaatttt

[misty pendant]

Use eye tracking to check if people are looking and make it open it's eyes a few seconds after people look at it

[eager sapphire]

So you def. need a matte finish for the monitor

[misty pendant]

Use a huge ebook display

[dire bane]

so basically any pi that has 1080p HDMI will do it

[eager sapphire]

btw switched to twitch, considerably less lag/buffering, today. At least here.

[shell mason]

Samsung the frame is cool for this kind of projects

[inner spade]

I see gaffer's tape there -- theatrical baling wire

[eager sapphire]

Yes, that view shows a kind of eerie ghosting, but that might just suit today's theme

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

[shell mason]

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/the-frame-4k-tv-samsung-wall-art-standby-uhd-led-a7630716.html this could cool for @haughty quiver halloween haunted portrait project

[harsh bone]

Actually, that is what I was gonna ask.... How to get rid of the boarders

er, borders

[shell mason]

this the same tv http://24gadget.ru/uploads/posts/2017-06/1496658715_samsung-frame-tv-018.jpg different frame

[harsh bone]

There is an Overscan setting, but there is usually still borders

Upside down... 😉

[dire bane]

did you all see the LG ad that had a tv mimicking a window? it had a meteor heading towards the ground

it was a 4K one

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

[inner spade]

You need a snake-eye or alien-eye option.

[shell mason]

@inner spade like this? http://orig13.deviantart.net/6554/f/2012/047/2/6/mass_effect_3_reaper_landing_by_acethebatdog-d4pw3cw.gif

I see that @haughty quiver have still some practice of how to do window capture

well the one view looks like 4:3

[eager sapphire]

As always, great ideas/clever solves, thanks JP

[inner spade]

Thanks JP!

[shell mason]

good stream John

[haughty quiver]

thanks so much! Now, can I convince my family to allow this to be permanently displayed in the house...

[shell mason]

@haughty quiver the shot you had last where chat was bottom it had black sides so more space to your use

[inner spade]

At other times of the year, it would make a nice annotated family history display.

(that's how I'd sell it...)

[haughty quiver]

Perfect!

Oh, got it, thanks @shell mason I know what you mean now.

[shell mason]

@haughty quiver hope that notice help better streams in the future

[kindred ore]

Nice stream @haughty quiver ....the fact that you used actual relatives really brought home the custom nature of the project

[haughty quiver]

@kindred ore! thanks so much, It was fun to see him come to life : )

[open girder]

@everyone Ladyada @open girder LIVE with @MIT @HackMIT 1,000 hackers 😃 @MITTechX @medialab https://youtu.be/tZGeZV23t3s

[ripe blade]

Just joined in!

[shell mason]

testers and cool stuff

[frail flame]

howdy

[glossy glacier]

Hello everyone!

[gaunt plume]

Hello Adam!

[frail flame]

Feeder machine gun

[gaunt plume]

those stencils, for the record, are REALLY large

[glossy glacier]

I am really liking this live cart setup.

[gaunt plume]

ladyada's Six Hertz, Six Bytes shirt is a nice MIT HKN shoutout

http://andrew.nerdnetworks.org/six/sixhertzsixbytes.html

[glossy glacier]

lol

[shell mason]

this is good

[river peak]

Indeed!

[shell mason]

think @glossy glacier if there was STEM in Adafruit factory

[nimble jackal]

Limor is the spirit of open source

[shell mason]

@gaunt plume think if it also had 6Hz

[gaunt plume]

@shell mason ?

[shell mason]

the ladayada's shirt Six Hetz

[gaunt plume]

afaik the front of it is 6Hz for MIT's ECE Dept #

good response - re:makermovt not going away

[river peak]

Everybody likes flashy stuff

[shell mason]

maker movement is going forward

and it's growing

[gaunt plume]

😃

[shell mason]

even Microsoft invested lots of money to IoT foundation here in Finland and it's located in old Nokia car garage

[gaunt plume]

It's totally growing forward. quickly. even some core aspects like open documentation are becoming popular in academia and places outside of the mov't

[glossy glacier]

[shell mason]

think in Finland kids start to learn coding when they start they school
