@haughty quiver Interestingly, I'm using MakeCode for a lot of my small projects.

#

@odd stream Makecode + CPX makes prototyping simple things so easy.

I started teaching in a class this year...first year of teaching it... it is called Innovators and Makers...and I am starting a club sponsored by Girls who Code...this is awesome!
I introduced the class by showing Lady ADA! I am looking for help and collaboration peeps that teach middle school.

lavish patrol
#

Lol. You could have a lot of fun with those in the office.

haughty quiver
#

@waxen thistle @odd stream I agree totally! Also, now I'm using maker.makecode.com with other boards, like Metro M0 Express

odd stream
#

@waxen thistle Yup. Mainly because of the sensor events.

So it's especially useful with the CPX.

@lament sluice With science.

#

Adafruit teams up with Moscot, with contact lenses for giants.

muted mesa
#

@lament sluice i'm thinking paint before the pins are pressed in.

lament sluice
#

then it would have to be done by the factory that assembles the headers...

dim knot
delicate fractal
#

I'm pretty sure the pins are loaded into the molds before the plastic is injected....

haughty quiver
#

Happy HalloWing 💀

dim knot
#

I think the pins are molded into the plastic. No?

lament sluice
#

but you can slide the pins in and out if you press hard

#

at least you can on most headers

waxen thistle
#

Cyclops wing.

lament sluice
#

looks kinda like there might be a thin extra layer of colored plastic on top of the black?

delicate fractal
#

jesse: true, but that's because plastic doesnt bond that well to smooth metals.

lavish patrol
#

@lament sluice Silk screen?

lament sluice
#

yeah but how do they do it over the pins?

dim knot
#

maybe pad printing?

lavish patrol
#

Or aqua dipping.

#

Is that the right terminology?

delicate fractal
#

ooh! Aqua dipping! (it's something like that, anyhow)

dim knot
#

Or someone with a tiny paint brush and a lot of time. 😃

lavish patrol
#

Elves.

#

Header elves.

lament sluice
#

i feel like aqua dipping would be overkill for something like this, plus they'd have to align the piece super precisely

lavish patrol
#

Aha. It's a flat piece of plastic stuck on the top.

lament sluice

i thought i saw some extra plastic!

Q: Can you sense clear colorless liquid levels through a small clear glass test tube in a closed system? No access to the liquid. Can only see through the tube. Looking to measure liquid level or presence/absence of liquid. What sensors should be considered please?

haughty quiver
#

@odd stream do you know how many true analog out DACs that chip has?

Q: Why don't any circuit python boards support 12V power supplies (they seem to all max out at 9V)?

delicate fractal
#

So I can't ask about a trinket m4?

lament sluice
#

@merry gulch there are some weird black magic capacitive sensors

muted mesa
#

@haughty quiver 2 DACs.

@haughty quiver Too many?

is there a magnification value associated with the new glass lens?

Higher input voltage means more power wasted as heat since it's a linear regulator.

#

Q: Any plans to expand the FONA line, esp. Feather M0?

vagrant narwhal
#

Excellent, thanks for the answer! I will be buying a METRO M0 Express to utilize a 12V power supply. Maybe it's worth updating the documentation to clarify this is supported, I may not be the only one looking to use 12V blinka

#

@ Jesse, thanks for the link on sensing liquids. I will check it out.

#

The product page for the MetM0 says 7-9V input range.

lament sluice
#

i'm biding my time until there's a trivia product i really want adabot

rich perch
#

Do you believe micro-controllers like Arduino can be used for Machine Learning through logic programming, where it can predict output based on the previous data gathered?

fallen rivet
#

You could get a LM7809 and knock it down to 9V first.

lavish patrol
#

What happens in Vegas...

delicate fractal
#

I would think there is not enough memory in arduinos for ML

odd stream
#

@rich perch M4 for sure. M0.. maybe. Not for training, but for running the 'net.

#

But unlikely one of the 8 bit AVRs.

lament sluice
#

@rich perch also look at the (discontinued but still available) intel curie platform

#

they supposedly have a built-in tiny neural network, but documentation is very poor

waxen thistle
#

It's always so nice to hear someone so thankful and excited like that 😃

How the roar and the compressor is almost covering you up. Please investigate rolling off the lows.

@drifting parrot unfortunately the factory is humming along and those compressor sounds are probably not low enough to roll off without muffling voices.

“Cognitive dissidence” sounds even more intense than “Cognitive dissonance “

Circuit Python is only available on Express boards, right ? Feather M0 Express, but not Feather M0 ?

waxen thistle

Good afternoon all you wonderful people!

Remember to give your loops a forever home.

CircuitPython will run on non-express M0 boards, too.

Woah, that was a short make code minute!

I like the 30 minute format. Very good.

It's not much better on the east coast, muggy and humid.

NYC is getting Florida weather. Which isn't typical.

eager sapphire
#

Edvard Munch cat, wow

haughty quiver
#

Oh, I forgot to mention , I also made 3D printable models for the game parts if you don't want cardboard ones!

young adder
#

Hum.. there are multiple version of Circuit Python for the feather m0. Will "basic" work with the Feather M0 + WiFi ?

waxen thistle
#

I like the shorter format, it's much easier to digest especially in VOD form, but it's also nice to have longer format streams where we physically build things -- slog it out, through successes and failures.

hard hollow
#

@haughty quiver nice work! managed to listen to most of the stream. the adabot operation game looks great!

haughty quiver
#

thanks @hard hollow hope you feel better soon. Don't make me operate.

eager sapphire
#

Yeah, this operation game is NOT a license to practice medicine

young adder
#

@waxen thistle I agree ! The short format is good to get the ideas, the long format was good to see how it's build and how I should try to reproduce 😃 Now I actually have to think about it !

haughty quiver
#

Thanks for the feedback @waxen thistle @young adder

#

@fallow fractal yes, use the basic version for any Feather M0 other thah Feather M0 Express

young adder
#

ok thanks

#

quick question : can I go back to "Arduino mode" after installing Circuit Python on the Feather M0 ?

hard hollow
#

@young adder yep, sure can

young adder
#

Cool

#

Right, one bad point, if I may : it's not easy to install CP on a Feather M0 on Linux 😃

haughty quiver
#

Does it not show up as a USB drive for you when you click the reset button?

#

(I haven't tried it on Linux)

young adder
#

I'm not there yet 😃 I need to compile bossac to upload the firmware on the board

#

and of course I'm missing half the dependencies ^^

#

Right, that's done. Next !

#

Yeah !!!

Fusion animations are easy and really powerful

#

@pearl shoal I didn't follow that thread...

That was an attempt at a pun. I didn't work, obviously. 😬

pearl shoal

I was trying to figure out that comment 😃

lavish patrol

You just have to tap into my sense of humor.

rocky reef
pearl shoal
#

Probably good to make a reminder to not send the Servo beyond it's limits (10deg-170deg is safe)

#

What filament is that - the speckles look great

#

ESP32 still needs lots of love on the Arduino side - you still need to install via GitHub and it's not standard.

#

So sad

haughty quiver
#

@pearl shoal I was just fooling around with an STM32 Blue Pill recently, which really feels like the wild west ;]

pearl shoal

Also, there are MUCH better libraries for the ESP8266 for things like provisioning, AP Mode, etc.

Yes, I am unhappy with the state of WiFi boards right now - I have fallen back to ESP8266 or RPi Zero.

(Not @pearl portal's fault)

#

Big request on all of your demos - please add an example of how to not hard-code your SSID/PWD for each board. I could only get ESP8266 to work well.

#

Easy to brick a servo by overdriving it

lavish patrol
#

Shouldn't it stay up until the email is read?

pearl shoal

Mainly so you can change location and have it let you connect and reset the SSID/PWD

#

Must be printed on glass?

Worth shining that flashlight at all of your filament. I found about 40% glowed

Yay! I was going to ask for the F3D of that 😃

#

I got mine yesterday

#

Turns out it's perfect for some of our projects with the SwitchBoard

rocky reef
#

@pearl shoal yes, printed on glass

pearl shoal
#

Perhaps a project that uses a cylindrical 3xaaa holder?

rocky reef
#

@pearl shoal yes, flashing uv lights on filament is actually the first thing we do went getting new stuff

@eager sapphire great idea, maybe a future version? this one isn't fast enough like a DotStar POV so it works pretty well by triggering it and then moving at a constant-ish rate for a few seconds. Motion sensing would make it foolproof!

Rasterbats

waxen thistle
#

The ones where JP is illuminated, it's common to use an off-camera flash to give him brightness -- but not the background, so there's sufficient contrast between him and the lightsaber.

#

The exposures will vary drastically depending on ambient lighting. Probably 4-8 seconds as he mentioned, but low ISO (I'd shoot at 200) to minimize the "film grain" effect.

The aperture I'd stop down to f/8 or f/12, or lower. That's my best ability to control exposure if it's getting too blown out.

heavy siren
#

I see, was wondering how the images were rendered.

#

Very clever.

waxen thistle
#

For a very dark, contrasty background -- shooting at f/22 gives the darkest image. But some lenses might use a bladed-aperture resulting in a "starburst effect" on single point light sources (like street lamps).

In other words, it's all a bunch of tradeoffs -- and takes a lot of tweaking, practice shots, and knowing your gear.

I'm sure it'd be given two thumbs up by Wednesday Addams....and one thumb up by Thing.

#

If you want to practice long exposures, all you need is a camera with exposure controls -- a DSLR or equivalent (I'd avoid a cell phone or an older point & shot, usually they give poor results).

And a tripod. That's a great starting point to practice, get a feel for the process. You can selectively highlight things with a flashlight -- literally "light painting".

inner spade
#

Excellent project and build. Like the use of the building supply yardstick. I wonder if they have meter sticks...

shell mason
#

if you have motor and but LED stick in it so that motor go center then it looks nice as you could even have holographic 3D images

waxen thistle
#

Yeah, to build on what JP mentioned regarding focus -- for those f/stops you'll be using (f/8 to f/22), unless you are really close, set the focus control to manual and set the focus to infinity. You'll be just fine.

@waxen thistle was it also using an MCU and serial cam like @solid cliff 's (instead of USB + RPi?)

@strange mantle I honestly don't remember. What I recall it was an entirely wireless/remote setup -- that could do live streaming instead of a static image.

It's been one of those things to followup with on my "list", and your link simply brought it to the forefront of my mind.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, senility sets in early for me apparently 😉

@odd stream Got two of the electromagnets and that flex board for some cool ideas I have.

@heavy siren I'm curious about that board. Easy custom shapes could be very useful. Flex as well, but maybe not quite as much. Then again, the combination could be quite useful.

@odd stream Yes, I know, thinking of variable current to closely positioned electromagnets attached to the flex board for movement.

@heavy siren Sort of the other way around

heavy siren
#

@odd stream There ya go. Very cool video. But, yes, that's what I was sort of thinking about. Now, what the movement will do or how it will be applied is the next thing to think about. Like maybe drumsticks for playing on my 10 piece kit of Pearls. Just a thought.

Hay guys, is there a way to look up previous advice or replys that I've gotten on Adafruit discord?

@ivory kiln That's a very good question. All I may suggest is using the search box upstairs on the right corner of Discord.

Ya, tried that but couldn't get it to work

heavy siren

Ah, well, don't know if there is a history channel for that sort of thing.

@ivory kiln why didn't search work?

heavy siren
#

You might try asking @rancid stone to make a Bot for that. He's very good at that sort of thing.

Though that that was one of the benefits of Discord was that it all was stored, and retreavable

#

Hay @strange mantle , I couldn't remember specific wording from the advise so I search 'dao20' hoping that it would pull up all posts that I've posted. But just pulled up 3 different dao20 accounts

will the code that I do & learn in make code carry over to a feather? Ie, want to use a Cricket but not a CPX, want to use a feather & cricket as that's what the full size CircuitPython powered power chair will basically have.
