Q: Is there any technical reason why making a Pi doubler/tripler would be a bad idea? There are too many less-than-fullsize faux-hats that are handy but hose stackability.

Other than using millis(), what options do we have to run multiple "threads" on Arduino? Does CircuitPython support multithreading?

@paper peak @harsh bone Regarding listservs before, for some reason I got my wires crossed with newsgroups. Although I got started with tech a while ago, I'm not that vintage 😉 I never did get into the newsgroups community.

@waxen thistle np - listserv is a pretty antiquated term (the software is pretty antiquated itself). I was using newsgroups when UUCP was a big thing.

Get an ABC fire extinguisher for your workspace. Small ones can be had for $10-25. It's the one single-tasker item that I am happy to keep, and hope to never use.

@lethal lagoon What you need to do, is spend a lot of time hyping it up and talking about it, and then just find someone with a really smart crow you can borrow for Show and Tell

lethal lagoon Oct 12, 2017, 1:22 AM

@river peak omg never tell anyone you're going to do something, that is just jinxing yourself! forgot about that...

#

now i'll definitely not finish it

river peak Oct 12, 2017, 1:23 AM

So, by that logic, I should just tell everyone I'm going to fail, and then jinx myself so that I do the opposite, right?

Adafruit Perma-Proto Half-sized Breadboard PCB - Single

Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of most basic perf: its always crummy quality, with pads that flake off and no labeling. Then we thought about ...

heavy siren Oct 12, 2017, 8:24 PM

Very nice. Will have to get some of those boards.

So the sound board is polyphonic? More than one voice at a time?

inner spade Oct 12, 2017, 8:27 PM

#

not poly, just one at a time

heavy siren Oct 12, 2017, 8:27 PM

#

Oh, monophonic, like my moog

inner spade Oct 12, 2017, 8:28 PM

#

yes, but stereo if you need it

shell mason Oct 12, 2017, 8:28 PM

#

@haughty quiver that glass zoom thing remind me from National Treasure movie

heavy siren Oct 12, 2017, 8:29 PM

#

Active low? right?

shell mason Oct 12, 2017, 8:30 PM

#

mini vape could do it as @hard hollow have wanted to make some testing for project

heavy siren Oct 12, 2017, 8:31 PM

#

I think I would use sockets so the circuit boards could be removed.

#

Imagine wirewrapping them instead of soldering.

inner spade Oct 12, 2017, 8:37 PM

#

Thanks for soldering for us.

#

Just the organic gummy bears.

I use what I call Pre-Magnifiers that help make my magnifying glass work better. Most people just call them "Labels". 😃

OK. so what gives with the Radio Shack thing??

inner spade Oct 12, 2017, 9:04 PM

#

test the sensor with voltmeter while powered on?

#

I keep a roll of gaff tape next to my blutack.

#

now to upload the correct code!

heavy siren Oct 12, 2017, 9:16 PM

#

@haughty quiver It's always the code eh? How many times, which version, gotta love it. Pure prototyping at its best.

haughty quiver Oct 12, 2017, 9:20 PM

#

Right?! I think the latest version of my code is only on the Trinket on the breadboard. Oops! At least I can open it from there and then save it to Github.

shell mason Oct 12, 2017, 9:26 PM

#

well sometimes you forget somethings

Speaking of getting started with electronics, I'm thinking of working through the Art of Electronics (+student lab guide)...figured I've been putzing around for too long, time to really hunker down. Anyone else worked through that book?

@waxen thistle Although the new 3rd Ed. is probably a lot different from the 2nd Ed. we used in undergrad when that edition was current, that's what we used for our electronics course for physics majors.

Yeah, the wind is kinda crazy. The lights were flickering the entire time... My local utility has everything below grade, but the Bonneville Power feeders that come up I5... That is a different story....

analog acorn Oct 19, 2017, 12:01 AM

#

I wish all manufacturers were like Adafruit. I got some Wemos ESP32+OLED boards just to play with, and the lack of coherent documentation is annoying and inhibiting.

shell mason Oct 19, 2017, 12:01 AM

@glossy glacier you have any wind speed sensors?

waxen thistle Oct 19, 2017, 12:01 AM

It's nice when companies do things right....amazing how far something like a little bit of documentation goes.
