Oh no, bye mosfet. Losing a cat isn't fun, I've had 3 cats for 10 years until last year I lost one. Cats are good animals, and they teach us more than we think

@open girder I didn’t say much earlier, as I was still processing what happened. And when it comes to things like this, I’m not good with my words. In our own ways, I think we all stumble to make sense of things. But I’ve given this a bit of thought, and wanted to share what was on my mind.
I believe I speak for everyone here when I say, we are deeply sorry for your loss. It was always clear the love and affection that you had for Mosfet, and that same love helped shape the community and even the maker world as it is today. Without Mosfet, I think Adafruit and the maker world would be a very different place.
Mosfet was also very much loved by this community. Though he never spoke, he always had a lot to say. He was more than a mascot, he was family. I think we’ll all hold our four legged friends a bit closer tonight, give them a special treat just to remind them…and ourselves…of just how much we love them.
Since the very beginning, you have done so much for your community. Now it’s our turn to be here for you. Our thoughts are with you during these times.
haughty quiver
A part I was going to use for today's build is DOA, so I'm open to suggestions for what to build today. Any thoughts?
Any interest in seeing how to make your own lock picks?
waxen thistle
Only if you address how inaccurately they do it on TV and in the movies 😉
*here, let me insert two hair pins into the lock, rummage around for a moment, then CLICK....I remove both and open the door.
No lock ever behaves like that.
haughty quiver
Right! I'm still impressed when a show uses a tensioner and a pick at least, and not some magic skeleton key :) low standard, huh?
Mr. Robot did a good job, although for reasons of pacing it always is about 100x faster than real life.
waxen thistle
My respect jumps ten-fold when they break out a tensioner! I'm like...wow! The producer did their homework.
Then in the next scene, they "crack" a multi-digit keypad by solving one digit at a time.
I can't say I've seen Mr. Robot -- I watched the first 3-4 episodes, then for some reason I didn't keep following. Is it worth a watch?
haughty quiver
I'm a huge fan.
waxen thistle
Yeah, homemade lock picks with stuff you'd commonly find around home...or a purse. Try the ol' paperclip + hair pin routine.
analog acorn
@haughty quiver Sprung steel brushes from street sweepers make great picks.... Just sayin'. 😃
analog acorn
Yowza! That's quite the collection!
haughty quiver
I started collecting them in 1985, but things really took off when I moved to Burbank, where you can find one every two blocks.
analog acorn
Ok, then I vote for "make your own picks" for the show!
haughty quiver
I have enough stock to make one for every viewer! :]
analog acorn
That'd be cool, but then there would be shipping. I had a really nice set, but then taught my daughter to use them. They've been appropriated. 😃
haughty quiver
nice! Well, I think sharing the knowledge of how to make them will be the next best thing to sending them out :)
turbid elbow
I wouldn’t mind a handmade pick
Although, I’m still awaiting for someone to do video on making tensioner

When you brought out the dremel, you said where to place the metal on the rotating part so that it's safe. Do you have a list of general dos and don'ts when it comes to dremel tools that you can share?
haughty quiver
Ah, one thing I recommend is unplug or pull battery on portable before chucking in new tools. Too easy to accidentally start it up w fingers on the bad place.
lavish patrol
Ouch.
onyx arrow
Thanks John
haughty quiver
Also, it's tempting to hand tighten some of the chuck types they have, but don't. Use the lock button and the little wrench!
Welcome @onyx arrow
onyx arrow
Dremmel has a few Quick release/lock attachments that makes it way easier to securely attach tool heads
haughty quiver
Oh, yes, that's right! I like the cutoff discs that fit that tool head.
onyx arrow
I much prefer the corded ones because the batteries on the others dont last nearly as long as I'd like
haughty quiver
Another fun dremel use is to chuck work onto it -- instant bead lathe!
onyx arrow
This attachment is useful https://www.bunnings.com.au/dremel-225-flex-shaft-direct-drive-attachment_p6325587
haughty quiver
@onyx arrow I'm with you so much on that -- I have about 3-4 mostly dead dremel batteries and keep vowing to never replace them.
I just reach for the corded one instead.
onyx arrow
ha ha- same here. I end up using the sub standard rotary tool because the battery runs out
I'm not selling bunnings 😉
waxen thistle
I remember a really nifty hobby dremel -- wireless, battery powered, pistol grip. Really ergonomic. But after reading reviews saying it was a non-replaceable battery, I noped right out of that purchase.
I'm sticking with my Grizzly tools knock-off dremel. 😃

onyx arrow
@haughty quiver Thanks
nimble jackal
Fine on YouTube
onyx arrow
I use an Ozito as well and the reason I prefer dremel (or any other better manufactured rotary tool) is when there's too much friction on the tool and it starts spinning freely, it starts spinning much faster than the setting i set it to
Dremmel seems to regulate the speed much better
and there are many more fittings for it - at Bunnings at least
haughty quiver
Good to know -- I think I've always used Dremel brand so didn't know what the differences were.

Thanks for the Dremel project link, @haughty quiver. I think my grandson is ready for the soda bottle muffler project. I recall seeing that before, but had forgotten about it. I relish in creating projects for the nieces/nephews/grandkids that produce noise. BTW, harmonicas are also a wonderful parent torture device in the hands of two nephews at the start of a 4-hour drive home from the uncle's house. You're welcome. 😉

void widget
bah, lost one monitor's power supply
void widget
what is the easiest way to do this as a python staement:
#define LFSR_MASK ((unsigned long)( 1UL<<31 | 1UL <<15 | 1UL <<2 | 1UL <<1 ))
fallow fractal
def spiwrite():
global cmd
for i in range (7,-1,-1):
sclk.value = 0
if (cmd & (1 << ((i)))):
sid.value = 1
else:
sid.value = 0
sclk.value = 1
Uses a similar idea (just a bit similar) and is working code.
afaict it promotes 1 to a power of two indexed by the range of the 'for' construct.
Then performs an AND test on it (essentially to test if a bit is set or reset in 'cmd').
Bitbangs a logic '1' if the bit was set. Bangs a zero, if not.
Runs backwards because of the order in which the bits must be sent to the listening device (an LCD controller chip that wants to see/hear the MSBit first).
I don't know what the rules are for bitshifting using that operator and what the operands do, exactly. I use it like voodoo as the syntax escapes me. Not too difficult to guesswork it until its correct (but not trival for me, either).
fading meadow
@void widget I may not understand the context of your question, but the value of LFSR_MASK is just 0x80008006 , correct? so does LFSR_MASK = const (0x80008006) do what you are looking for? Sorry if I am way off base since I did not hear the broadcast you may be referring to.
or better yet : ```>>> LFSR_MASK = const(1<<31 | 1<<15 | 1<<2 | 1<<1)
hex(LFSR_MASK)
'0x80008006'

@haughty quiver Suggest a 100pf to .1 uf cap in series if the other end is connected to ground. You could also try a 5K ohm resistor in series with the end of the antenna and ground, just to be safe. However, in my experience with radio, leaving the antenna open-ended works best, especially if the ground is separately connected to an earth ground or antenna ground plane.
