@quick veldt yeah. there are times where C is better, like time-critical or interrupt support.

Usually C will compile to machine code and will be faster. CircuitPython is interpreted so code is slower but dev time is super fast esp. with iterating designs

You can make C slower than Python if you're determined.

@quick veldt It's pretty common to compare yourself to people who are "better" at stuff than you while ignoring the things where you're the "better" person. I do it pretty much by default, but you (I'm talking to myself here) should always take the time to pat yourself on the back for the things you do know.
If you've not had much time to learn stuff yet, take it as a blessing! The world is your oyster; if you stick with it you can learn ANYTHING

Usually I just think big. Not sure if it’s a good mindset to consider my life just a glimpse of the universe, but I find it quite inspiring.

You know, @quick veldt , one of the best teachers I ever had, ( I found out years later) was when I was in my 20's. I found out they literally at were only one maybe two lessons ahead of the class I was in. She had never taught before the class that she taught. She was a single mom of 3 kids, and had no time to do much of anything. But even still without any prior experience, nor with much of ANY for knowledge. was a great teacher. I'm telling Zenith, never doubt what you can be capable of achieving.
quick veldt
Will do
waxen thistle
Sorry, I had to dip out for a second there...
@ivory kiln Those aspirations you mentioned above will be a positive effect for the world regardless of any company you work for. We need more folks with your mindset -- it's comforting to know ya'll are out there.
And regarding learning electronics -- like anything in life, you aren't going to know everything about all topics. You can specialize, you can generalize, you can cherry-pick between those two.
Do what makes you happy in that regard. I generalize my learning until I hit a project snag, then I get frustrated -- and I stand toe-to-toe with the challenge until I not only conquer it, but I have mastered it inside and out. I've owned it. Beaten it into submission. It's the area where I'm a subject matter "expert".
ivory kiln
Lol, very true. As they say: do what you love & you'll never have to work a day in your life. 😃
waxen thistle
Well....hmm. That's a nice nugget of advice. And if I said it, it would be "do as I say, not as I do."
In polite terms, I've made compromises every step along the way. And although I can "always" change that, circumstances don't allow me to do so without strong consequences.

Okay, so i bought an arduino Nano, and im trying to connect it to a 12v rgb led light strip, and im trying to figure out how to connect it so that the usb 2.0 thats connected to the nano can power the strip also
heavy siren
@zenith pike Well, you shouldn't do that but you can by getting a voltage converter. Otherwise, get a seperate supply and use a 2n2222 trany to interface the signal line.
Adafruit has some very good guides on using 12 volt light strips. I suggest you check them out.
zenith pike
Okay, but this is what im trying to follow atm, and im just trying to figure out if i can connect the usb 2.0 to a wall adapter after i add on the program
because in the video, he leaves it attached to his computer
so im not sure
heavy siren
I suppose the wall adapter will work as long as it provides 5 to 9 volts. Your getting 5 volts from the computer via USB so just connect a 5 volt adapter like you want to do. I would think it will work as long as the 12 volt conversion is already done.
heavy siren
Anytime, that's what Adafruits Discord is for.
zenith pike
okay, sorry to bother you again, but I have another quick question
The led strip that i have has 4 wires, red, green, blue, and a 12v one
but in the video, theres only a red, green, and 12v one
haughty quiver
That sounds like an analog strip that you can change all at once, rather than a NeoPixel style strip that you can individually address each LED.
With those, you put 12V to positive voltage and then ground each of the R,G, and B wires to get red, green, blue or mixtures of them.
haughty quiver
Here's info on that type of strip: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips
zenith pike
Also, on amazon, every picture shows the led strip with different color lights at the same time
haughty quiver
These will not be powered by the Nano, but you can use the Nano to switch on and off the 12V supply to the different colors using MOSFETs as shown here: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/usage
Oh, OK, I looked at your Amazon link, forget what I said about analog strips!
zenith pike
okay haha
haughty quiver
I'm trying to figure out what those are and how you control them.
zenith pike
okay cool
haughty quiver
I don't think they're individually addressable, so more like the analog strips I mentioned, but not sure how they're doing the patterns.
I suspect it will come down to using MOSFETs like that guide shows.
zenith pike
mosfets?
haughty quiver
they are transistors that are used for switching power on and off to a big, power hungry device using a small control signal, such as what the Nano can provide to do the switching.

I was just watching your unboxing of Adabox 008 @haughty quiver while wondering what might come in Adabox 009. & a quandry arose. Has anyone ever tried, or do you think it could or would, 2 different CP devices, like The CPX on a Cricket interacting with a Hallowing? Say for instance, Hallowing goes to turn it's eye to the right so a command is sent & the CPX on the Cricket with motors steers to the right. Giving the appearance that it's a single unit, lol a single little creature, working as one.
Could even dress him in a fuzzy cloth or something, or print up a little head (for the Hallowing) & a body.
river peak
@ivory kiln I've used an ESP8266 talking to an ATTiny, and a 328p talking with an ATTiny. It wouldn't be terribly difficult
And, I think that you can (With some effort) connect the Hallowing to a Crickit
ivory kiln
That is cool @river peak . What kind of interaction was there between them? Sensor data, instructions?
river peak
The 328p was just an experiment to get it to work. The ESP8266 was a lot more complex. The 8266 controlled a TFT, while the ATTiny ran the buttons, backlight, voltage regulator/power, etc
It was all done via i2c
ivory kiln
Nice!
river peak
Also, the Crikit, the Joy FeatherWing, and the SeeSaw are all run by SAMD microcontrollers (Specially programmed)
ivory kiln
What do you mean by specially programmed?
river peak
They don't run Arduino/CircuitPython
ivory kiln
How do the CPX & the cricket work together if the Cricket doesn't use CP?
river peak
Just like any other periphrial.
If I remember correctly, the Crickit uses i2c
So, master device sends commands with a specific address. Subsidiary device with that address sees those commands, and executes them
ivory kiln
What language are the commands in? I2C?
river peak
They're not in a specific language.
You send the I2C device info, and what it does with that info depends on how it is programmed.
ivory kiln
Ok, got it.
What language does the Hallowing work in / communicate in?
As I'm guessing that there will be one in the Adabox I ordered. lol, My first Adabox, gotta admit I'm a little excited. 😃
river peak
Hallowing uses CircuitPython by default, but it can also use Arduino. Not sure if it's supported by MakeCode yet
ivory kiln
Guessing I should stop working on learning MakeCode & get back to learning CP then huh?
river peak
There's nothing wrong with learning MakeCode
but yeah, it does look like the Hallowing doesn't have MakeCode yet
ivory kiln
And assuming, (hoping) that one is going to be in AdaBox 009, I should switch. Ok @river peak , can you recommend the best tutorial / project for a total noob to start learning CP? Mind u the only board I have so far is a CPX.
river peak
CPX is a wonderful starting point.
Honestly, I don't have any specific recommendations right now (And am arguing with a headache and a dozen other things at the moment), but there are a ton of Learn articles for the CPX and CP
ivory kiln
O ya! Of all of the $1000 + of Ada products that I lost, I'm thankful that it's a CPX that I was lucky enough to still have.
B12 is really really great for migraines! B12, Magnesium, & Calcium combined work really well. Advil liquigels work really well for getting rid of my migraines.
river peak
I wouldn't call it a migraine, but thanks for the advice.
ivory kiln
Certainly, Hope you feel better & thanks for the help. 😃
haughty quiver
@zenith pike no, the Nano can supply 5V at a very small current (60mA IIRC). Those strips will require an external 12V supply. If you want to try to replicate the very cool cutting board mouse pad project more closely without adding additional power supply and circuit, you will want to use a thin NeoPixel strip instead of those 12V lights you linked to.

I was wondering if anybody can help me there's a sketch that's already been built I would just like to add a button so if I press it it will turn on and off and if I hold it it will dim my lights I'm not a programmer I can just flash edit a little code but that's about it any help would be appreciated

@muted mesa External. It's not burning it, although the air vents will occasionally smell very strongly.

I wonder why the book is only offered on the Kindle & not in any other digital format?
waxen thistle
🤔 Being made of decayed dinosaurs, does that make using coal & oil a form of recycling?
lament sluice

lethal lagoon

lethal lagoon

quick veldt
Someone suggest to me what to buy to make neopixel eyes
lethal lagoon

@river peak "how to fix broken car? buy a new one" is definitely a troubleshooting option. 😆
quick veldt
Over a grand?
ivory kiln

waxen thistle
@muted mesa Trebuchet is also another option.

@lethal lagoon Thanks for chatting & watching!
haughty quiver
@ivory kiln yes, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3108276
it works great, and I modified it for this: https://learn.adafruit.com/hallowing-magic-9-ball/build-the-magic-9-ball
ivory kiln
O geaz. I watched you use that case. Sorry & thank you.
I'm looking forward to trying the maze code. Used to enjoy playing that.
Hay @haughty quiver does the HalloWing have built a in lipo charger?
Scratch that, I found it & for anyone else that is wondering. yes it does. 😄
ivory kiln
Hay @haughty quiver I've been looking over the Adabox 009 & more over the Hallowing and noticed that it says: "LiPoly battery port with built in recharging capability" But where and how do you plug the power in to be able to charge the LiPo?
haughty quiver
Hi @ivory kiln yes, HalloWing has built in LiPo charging -- power comes in over the USB port.
This is the same as other Feather boards, BTW.
shell mason
@haughty quiver if you have those glass or plastic lens those would be cool if you dont have class cover in that hallowing side yet
ivory kiln
Lol, ya @haughty quiver I know now I had realized the bone head question after the fact. Sorry, a little lack of sleep catching up with me.
