When my family's portable DVD player from 2011 broke just a week ago, I tried fixing it, and failed.

The timing requirements on the DotStars is not as stringent as NeoPixels, so you can very easily drive them from a Raspberry Pi, for example.

Better hurry, @rapid hornet , clouds moving in from the SE...

btw i see an html error in the adafruitdaily page for the python check box... there's a missing equals sign on the "for" attribute of the label

changing that with developer tools make it checkable again

@lethal lagoon At least your alexa doesn't laugh in the middle of the night.

analog acorn
#

Hmmmm, stay here for a few hours and teach myself KiCad, or go home for the evening. Methinks I'll stay and KiCad.

lethal lagoon
#

@waxen thistle probably because she's too depressed about the weather πŸ˜ƒ

waxen thistle
#

Seriously, she did that a few days ago -- creeped me out. I was half dozing off and i hear laughter on my night stand and the ring lit up.

#

@analog acorn don't forget dinner!

waxen thistle
#

I was like.....brb Alexa, gotta perform an exorcism

lethal lagoon

@waxen thistle oh it happened to you?! i heard about it but didn't hear anything out of mine

scary!

#

The power of binary compels you!

lethal lagoon

it's hard to tell if her head spins around, she's too cylindrical

waxen thistle

I mean, mine activates randomly rather frequently -- i could be sitting reading a book, and it just reports sports scores. Uhhhhhh.....thanks?

lethal lagoon

maybe you could 3D print a little head for her so you can tell

If Alexa automatically places an order for pea soup, watch out.

ours hears questions in movies but she doesn't activate in complete silence, or hasn't yet

my alexa ordered something by herself once

but it turned out i needed one anyway so i kept it πŸ˜ƒ

right? i couldnt tell if it was a fortunate mistake or skynet

#

uh oh the jig is up

I got a dot over a year ago as a test platform for connecting it to feathers -- and although that project was shelved for the time being, I mostly use the Alexa ecosystem as a really swell alarm clock + timer + weather vane.

@lethal lagoon I won't forget dinner! Going to order Chinese at the office....

The new "play the same music across multiple Echos" feature is rather nifty, but only if you play from their approved list of music providers. I can't stream from my own sources or library.

lethal lagoon

oh i didnt know about that limitation

i think it's weird to talk to one echo and hear like 3 of them answer back from different rooms

i only have one echo and one dot but i can imagine

@analog acorn nice! MIDI is reminding me she needs dinner too, so i'm off to obey

The Cozmo looks cool because it's got this whole Python SDK and I believe is open source.

Say "That again"?

Cozmo looks like a micro bobcat.

that's why i feel i need to learn circuit py

@lavish patrol I'd rather have a full sized bobcat.

"Dude." Whats mine say?

river peak

Either the animal or the vehicle.

@river peak The vehicle.

I wouldn't mind a large cat, either.

@slow flint do it! I doubt anyone will mind if you're using Adafruit products/libraries or not.

when bre pettis and i both lived in seattle, wa and he was an art teacher, i had hired him at MAKE to work on the videos with me since he reminded me a lot mr. rogers (he did puppets too)

@rapid hornet NYC Maker Faire is the weekend before, too

does adafruit carry hidden ink?

@alpine nova Yes, but you have to find it first.

@lethal lagoon I agree with kattni. that thing is beautiful!

@river peak I was considering skipping maker faire in favor of OSH summit

#

love the music πŸ˜ƒ

eager sapphire
#

yes, and the slurp SFX

alpine nova
#

that's way cooler than an amish fireplace

river peak
#

Maybe could stretch it out. Maker Faire is Sat/Sun, summit is on Thursday. It'd be a busy week, but you'd have a few touristy days in there too

rapid hornet

nah, I'm ok missing it. I went the last two years

can't be away from home and circuitpython that long
