Right!

@open girder those mics are cool when asking question so you raise hand and mic is throw to you and you catch it and ask the question

hard hollow
what is this!? week 3 or 4 of doing discord overlay and still have no clue how to get it to work ๐
shell mason
no guide how to get it work
hard hollow
weird thing is that the URL works fine in browser, just doesn't load in wirecast
shell mason
weird stuff
hard hollow
testing
eager sapphire
Reading you five by nine Noe
hard hollow
poor wirecast is still confused ๐ฆ
shell mason
Grumpy Wirecast
eager sapphire
Is there a fixed URL to find the 3D Hangouts stream on youtube, or do we just find it by looking on the Adafruit user page?
hard hollow
@eager sapphire should be on https://youtube.com/adafruit/live
eager sapphire
Ok thanks Noe
eager sapphire
Is discord's output connected to wirecast via "streamkit overlay"?
hard hollow
yep, it was embedded via URL
that would load fine in chrome browser but wouldn't in wirecast
eager sapphire
Do you get any kind of meaningful or meaningless (the usual) error message from discord?
Ok
Roger that
(Looking up wirecast+discord issues)
hard hollow
nope no errors, the overlay just stayed stuck "loading" indefinitely 
:
TBH, this happens every week but normally kicks in after 5min or so of standy
eager sapphire
Saw something online about a nominal delay streaming to youtube (because of bandwidth tests done by google) but so far nothing on that symptom with discord chat
If it works fine in chrome, that eliminates a whole mess of potential issues with the streamkit
A note on discordapp support suggests that "it says #loading because the channel you chose has images/files that were directly uploaded to discord instead of as a link. The only way to fix it is to delete all those images"
I don't know if that applies to your situation, but it's the closest I could get, so far, to your symptoms
According to that same site, this image loading bug was fixed some time around Oct 16, 2016
YMMV.
This kind of thing ONLY HAPPENS when you approach a live event. Murphy's law.

Hey Twitch Link ?
shell mason
https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit @devout knoll
@hard hollow @rocky reef was there Raspi 3 flat version
rocky reef
yup - @shell mason will be like this: https://learn.adafruit.com/diet-raspberry-pi/steps

@rocky reef also that could have expanind RJ45 connector what is a slimmer from original
opal wolf
Pimoroni did a recent Bilge Tank episode where they slimmed down a Raspberry Pi.
That was episode 107.
shell mason
think if you could put USP-C and separet connectors
rocky reef
ah yes, we saw it - they did an excellent job

for that thing, don't you have to modify the servo?

It's too small for a soldering iron, but it helps when you need like 3 hands holding larger items than alligator clips

@mossy condor the express boards should show up as a flash drive?
glossy glacier
@heavy plinth The cost of the hardware is not the end all be all of hardware in the maker community. In many cases, the support and software that goes along with a board is way more valuable to the end user than the hardware itself (eg: circut playground). You could buy a aurdrino clone or an adafruit clone from a vendor on alibabah, but you would be forgoing a lot the the support that you get along with it. Support cost money, so you have to sell the hardware for more than you would if you were just trying to break even on the hardware side.

a bunch of the logitech stuff says you can use the dongle or use bluetooth instead.

@vital bane really? wish i had known that before. i just saw @fickle umbra 's suggestion to put it in pairing mode - with logitech's software i guess?
logitech control center that is
vital bane
@alpine nova I have not tried but was looking for a bluetooth mouse and noticed it in the product descriptions..
alpine nova
just got the mouse out and turned it on and opened logitech control center - it says no logitech device found
and it's actually referred to as wireless with no mention of bluetooth
river peak
It's possibly 2.4Ghz
alpine nova
maybe. i think it's proprietary.
river peak
From what I've seen, if it's not Bluetooth, it's 2.4Ghz. That doesn't mean any 2.4 dongle would work, though
alpine nova
well i have the usb receiver that came with it, but i find the thing to be jerky, unresponsive at times, and often delayed, so not practical for use in live performance
river peak
That seems pretty terrible.
alpine nova
it's a drag
river peak
You should get one of those Bluetooth feathers and program it as a USB mouse.
ER, bluetooth mouse
alpine nova
i have it plugged in right now and it seems to be fine, or at least better. perhaps my system is just too taxed when performing with video mixing software, midi input, and video input
i have one - maybe i should try that
but i'd have to build something or can i hack this logitech mouse?
river peak
For that, I have NO idea
river peak
Well done
alpine nova
the thing about this logitech mouse is it has a thumb controlled trackball which i like very much. i've been using these off and on since i got my first computer in the '90's
that was funny

it was funny out of context @heavy plinth
river peak
Could be somethign you put on Show and Tell
heavy plinth
Jaden smith asks the best questions
alpine nova
@river peak well, i have no clue where to even begin with that
river peak
All the buttons likely go to microswitches. You'd have to connect those to the GPIOs
alpine nova
and put the ble feather inside?
river peak
The trackball likely goes to IR sensors or Hall Effect Sensors or something along those lines, so you'd have to both connect those and figure out how they work/measure
Yep
You could probably hook the internal battery up to the feather
Since feathers have LiPo charging circuits

hmmm, not sure that's a project i want to take on. the thing should just work right! i mean, it retails for $50
glossy glacier
Heads up everyone I am showing how I etched the adafruit logo on my stream right now! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_v3Hwa40W7ZU-qgV8KOMA/live
alpine nova
something tells me it's my system - too much connected when performing
no, but that's a good idea. i usually try to figure it out myself because cs can only help so much
river peak
A mouse should be one of the last things to start acting up, really
alpine nova
i don't always have it on when i start up. should i?
oh nevermind - i misread
yes, you are right about that
i think ultimately it would be best if it was straight bluetooth. i have definitely noticed as my show progresses, the midi, connected via usb, gets more and more finicky and sometimes stops working altogether til i pull the usb cord and replug it. usb is known for it's issues.
river peak
That seems mildly annoying
alpine nova
mildly is putting it mildly
river peak
A hacky solution for a problem that shouldn't exist: A USB "Extension" cable with a button that temporarily disconnects it.
Instead of unplugging and re-plugging, you just hit the button and it disconnects/reconnects
alpine nova
that's a good idea
river peak
Save you a few fractions of a second at the very least
alpine nova
problem is i'm not always aware the midi isn't cooperating until it stops working. it might be running really bad for a while first. i'd prob end up resetting every few minutes. if i could program it to do that it might be useful - though that'd prob require another usb connect for arduino or whatever. btw, i am also using arduino during my show to motorize a lazy susan, but am running off of batteries.
river peak
Well, a circuit board could be made. USB one end, USB other. ATTiny or something in the middle, powered off the USB with, say, a transistor on each USB wire going to the "OUT"
Set it to a timer and it'd automatically reset it
alpine nova
i will consider this idea, but ultimately i feel like i am putting band aids on top of band aids until i create my all inclusive control center. i have a dream to build my own custom portable control center for my lightshows - sort of like an audio mixing board to a sound engineer, but with software, displays, media server, and input keyboard all part of device. it is a huge project that overwhelms me every time i start thinking about it in depth as i am not an engineer or programmer.
i do appreciate your effort to help me resolve this small mouse problem @river peak . i will have to weigh out the amount of effort i want to put into something that obviously should work, and wether it is my busy system causing the problems or the usb/bluetooth receiver.
river peak
That is precisely how you become an engineer and programmer, though!
Find a project. Make it.
Repeat.
alpine nova
that is true, but i move soooo slowwww with this stuff. i struggle with the coding and what i know about electricity, well, it's coming along. i do know worlds more now than a few years ago.
river peak
I had an arduino for maybe a year or two and didn't do anything with it and didn't think about anything with it aside from "I can do neat things"
Then I saw a thing, thought "I can make a digital version of that!" and two years later I'm working on building up a company on electronics and stuff that I've designed.

They're far too mcuh power for the stuff I do.

i want a pi, but can't justify til i have the specific project for it
river peak

I also have an Orange Pi One and an Orange Pi PC Plus
But those have specific purposes.
alpine nova
it is all about inspiration - that and necessity
river peak
I'm making (Slooooowly) a D&D gaming table
Player stations will have Android mini-PCs
Was going to use the OPi One because it's $10
but the PC Plus is $23ish, and comes with eMMc, so it doesn't need an SD card. Also has more USB ports, more RAM.... and I'd pay $10-$12 for a decent SDcard anyawy
alpine nova
that's cool. i'm constantly seeing things that could be done diff with an arduino or pi, but i can barely handle one project at a time
0pi = pi zero?
river peak
OPi = Orange Pi

ah, you're starting to go over my head. i don't really have a grasp on processors or other tech specs beyond some very very basic stuff. those little kids on show and tell would prob laugh at me

haughty quiver
thanks @heavy siren !
when I built the Arduino GRANDE a few years ago, it was a bit under 6x, due to restriction of the size of my laser cutter @heavy siren so I was determined to make this one with an easier multiplier!
@fickle umbra no, for now the 3D printed parts are just for show, other than the barrel jack that holds the battery and boost, and the NeoPixel Jewel that acts like the on-board NeoPixel indicator of the Metro Express. On my Arduino GRANDE i had a working reset and all the pins were broken out to the banana jacks on the giant headers. That's my goal as I refine this one, except to move to 1/4" phono jacks/plugs.
@waxen thistle yes, the 1000C powerboost.

@haughty quiver now just make a version from metro express giant one that add translutent and neopixels to it so the logo lights up

Ooh!
heavy siren
Don't leave us hanging....
inner spade
Going to "breadboardize" an AD9833 SOIC-10 chip this morning to start.
I need to design a special sensor that involves string, a ping-pong ball, and some Hall-effect senors.
So I'm not quite ready to talk about the details until the sensor proves out.
heavy siren
Analog Devices eh? With SPI. Nice looking chip.
inner spade
The last one using the ping-pong ball and a flex sensor worked okay, though.
heavy siren
Very low power too.
inner spade
It's not the arbitrary waveform generator that I will eventually use, but it'll be perfect for prototyping.
inner spade
Not exactly -- need to be able to create sounds from samples and/or algorithms on the fly.
I'll be able to talk about it more when I confirm the fundamental concepts -- not too certain that it will work just yet.
Still in the Sparky stage (but without involving explosive liquids)

@thorn adder fyi. when you respond to your own post, it drops off our radar making it hard to see that it needs a response.

thorn adder
ah makes sense
so I don't think it is a hardware issue because I took the card and plugged it into the 3 and my external controller wouldn't work. I am going to try plug the bonnet direclty into the 3 with this card
