That would be really handy for a DAW work

But if you need those words, you’ve got it covered.

That could be your adabox being delivered....

Admiral Ackbar approved.

[shell mason]

Its a tarp

[glad pasture]

That is great fun JP!

[waxen thistle]

Audio is good.

[eager sapphire]

LOL Janisku I said the same thing cleaning the shed today, trying to figure out what a giant sheet of plastic was — it’s a tarp!

Choraplast? Kora-plast? What is this magic?

[glad pasture]

No, no... it's true. I am a sicko. sigh

[inner spade]

Clever project, @haughty quiver .

[waxen thistle]

Twitch is having issues.

[glad pasture]

I thought it was my network.

[inner spade]

A few UV LEDs and some luminescent paint on the ants/spiders.

[eager sapphire]

As is youtube - lots of buffering

[waxen thistle]

And youtube is buffering greatly.

[fallow fractal]

same here for youtube

[waxen thistle]

@eager sapphire Ok, it's not just me then

[eager sapphire]

No, lots of packet drops as well

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver We might be seeing network issues -- twitch and youtube are having live broadcast Gnomes rummaging around the packets....

[glad pasture]

Loved this particular show @haughty quiver so many great ideas! THank you!

[haughty quiver]

very welcome, thanks for the kind words

[fallow fractal]

cool ideas, thank you

[waxen thistle]

@odd stream Those fiendish technology gnomes had it out for us again!

[inner spade]

The HalloWing is sooo versatile, especially with CPy bitmap graphics support. Thanks for showing us a spectrum of ideas.

[haughty quiver]

you bet, I think we'll see lots of very innovative and fun projects from people using it. Plus, it's a skull.

[waxen thistle]

I'm really digging these multi-function boards with a plethora of sensors, neopixels, displays on them like the hallowing and the CPX

Anything that avoids breaking out the big box of breadboards, leds, and resistors is a win in my book --- reduce the barrier to entry in every way possible.

[haughty quiver]

yes, any friction you can remove from the process of trying an idea quickly is very welcome!

[waxen thistle]

When teaching, it's so hard to build momentum & interest....yet so terribly easy to lose it.

[fallow fractal]

Like calling 'em "You people" for example. ;)

[shell mason]

https://giphy.com/gifs/star-wars-trap-its-a-l0DEJBPAYHW7XLCp2 @haughty quiver could this show in hallowing?

[haughty quiver]

Not able to do gifs or movies currently, but maybe one day?

[shell mason]

perhaps one day @haughty quiver

encode gif/movie to undestandable way to hallowing that might be possible

[rose mason]

maybe seperate all the frames and switch between the bitmaps fast?

[haughty quiver]

That's a good approach in general I think. Currently the switching between bitmaps is not fast, however.

[shell mason]

@haughty quiver MXChip board what i have use shakeshake animation for animating shake with static const unsigned char shakeimg []

you animate It's a trap like that then it would be good

if you compine them to list of images what contain hex values it could work

Out of context, that would be very bad.

Great for prototyping, but doesn't stand up to a lot of use/abuse.

There are hundreds/thousands of yards demos for BLE5, but 5 isn't absolutely necessary.

@ivory kiln i have a bit more in common with capaldi , and i changed my avi on every service to that due to mood 😛 kinda.

[lavish patrol]

Lol. Lots of LEDs.

[ivory kiln]

"you have question we have answer"

[fallen rivet]

Sorry, I used "it's" and "its" correctly in the same sentence. You won't see that on the Adafruit website... 😃

[odd stream]

@waxen thistle It's sort of "So you think you know what computer programming is? Mr. Knuth laughs at you."

[waxen thistle]

Meant for an intermediate-advanced programmer, comfortable with most CS topics? @west vigil

[quick veldt]

I feel like Arduino is in the rear view mirror nowadays.

[ivory kiln]

lol, nice @slow flint

[quick veldt]

Arduino hardware

[slow flint]

and im actually tinkering with the time vortex as we speak, so it all works out

[ivory kiln]

lol

[quick veldt]

Kind of hard for Arduino hardware to compete with amazing adafruit hardware

I’m a bit biased toward black circuit boards ;)

[lavish patrol]

I'm looking forward to this Sunday, when the new season of Doctor Who starts. 😃

[slow flint]

bounces in place...yazz

[ivory kiln]

This Sunday??? @lavish patrol

[waxen thistle]

@quick veldt Arduino has its place -- you can manage memory and code very directly with a lot of control. But it's not beginner friendly like CircuitPython + Mu. I look at it as "the right tool for the job."

[lavish patrol]

@ivory kiln In the UK.

[quick veldt]

Well, every Circuitpythonadafruit board has Arduino support and Circuitpython

[muted mesa]

ESP-WROVER-B datasheet mentions "features 4MB SPI flash/8MB SPI PSRAM", but mentions support for "multiple external QSPI flash and SRAM chips". so...yesno?

[fallen rivet]

lol

[waxen thistle]

@lavish patrol Wait, the new DW is this weekend?! Woah. Time has sure gone by fast.

[ivory kiln]

Ya, but US networks will probably start it, if not then soon there after.

[midnight tulip]

Are you going to do a crickit for the metro m0 express?

[quick veldt]

I don’t think that’s very practical

[lavish patrol]

I don't think BBC America is far behind. Probably the following week.

[quick veldt]

Feather form factor is much more convenient than Metro

[waxen thistle]

Did you hear? Disney is going to remake the Star Wars prequels!

Though, I question one of their new changes -- Darth Vader's mother is going to be named "Ella".

Ella Vader. Don't push her buttons.

[quick veldt]

Metro is probably still made just to keep compatibility with many many Arduino UNO hats

[odd stream]

This is really nicely done.

[slow flint]

winder if i can use it for my prop rifle

[eager sapphire]

@waxen thistle - that was so terribly awful, it was funny

[quick veldt]

I mean, metro also has 5v Logic right?

[ivory kiln]

will it be on Android tho?

[waxen thistle]

"Lasers"

[lament sluice]

what if i scan the Adafruit QR code skill badge?

[quick veldt]

Be ready guys! I’ve got lots of questions tonight ;)

[lavish patrol]

Lasers. Just... lasers.

[ivory kiln]

Now it just needs a Freaking shark. 😉

[quick veldt]

[lavish patrol]

Poor MOSFET.

[normal plover]

[lament sluice]

i sent in a really nice-looking $100-class scanning LIDAR sensor through the contact form a few weeks ago...

[severe inlet]

@lavish patrol , BBCA is airing the season premiere at the same time as BBC, 1:45pm EDT this Saturday.

[quick veldt]

Beagebone? I haven’t heard that name in ages!

[heavy siren]

Does the LIDAR have a minimum range???

[lament sluice]

https://www.seeedstudio.com/RPLiDAR-A1M8-360-Degree-Laser-Scanner-Kit-12M-Range-p-3072.html

it's a 360-degree scanning device, which is like impossible to get for this price

[slow flint]

the store code really should be time lady related... thats my vote

[fallow fractal]

Doctor Who?

[lean grail]

Hey Adafruit, when will we be getting Feather M4s with different things on it like the Lora or bluetooth or sd card readers etc?

[slow flint]

i use 2 pies at my business for monitoring my network remotely

[eager sapphire]

The home pick-n-place is sitting right next to you

[ivory kiln]

Lol, not a pic n place, YET...

[quick veldt]

Q: Have you heard of the feather compatible particle.io Argon micro-controller? Will it be possible to have Wifi + Bluetooth CircuitPython support with this board? It uses a nRF52840 and ESP32 coprocessor.

[slow flint]

m4 metro (full size) with go faster stripes?

[eager sapphire]

I meant Phil himself. I remember a video of him placing a part.

[lament sluice]

the metro M4 is great because it has infinitely more Ms than the M0

[slow flint]

i mean, i am doing the time vortex tinkering with the itsy bitsy after all.

[muted mesa]

@quick veldt yep..its been discussed. a lot of the CircuitPython devs pre-ordered the new particle boards...pretty sure it will get supported. will need to get the nRF52840 port finished first. ESP32...no ETA. (can't wait till my Argons get in).

[normal plover]

I want the Circuit Playground Express M4

[quick veldt]

Yeah but what about Circuitpython wifi and Bluetooth support?

[heavy siren]

Will the Convex Plastic Lens with Edge - 40mm Diameter be in stock soon? And will I get one with my Adabox???

[fallen rivet]

Sober Hacktober.

[quick veldt]

Ok I want to buy one...

@heavy siren yup in the box

Laminating the stickers might be helpful for reuse. not sure it was mentioned 😃

[shell mason]

@hard hollow think making Lego parts of all version of adafruit characters

@haughty quiver could make animation from them

HEY!!! My Adabox just arrived. Gotta go. 😃

[haughty quiver]

have fun!

forgot to mention the details on the 3D printed figure i had: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2222384

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver What do you think about Mr. StickyBones? I've never seen a figure that articulated, but the price is...steep for a hobbyist.

[haughty quiver]

it is excellent. You probably won't find anything as articulated and that holds a pose well for less.

I used to have an 18" "super poseable" spider-man action figure that was awesome, but also pretty darned heavy. and specific.

Some of the higher end wooden artist's mannequins are worth checking out, too.

Also, you can get pretty decent ball and hinge metal stop motion armatures for $50-$75.

look on Amazon

some are better than others at holding poses w/o lots of re-tightening.

[waxen thistle]

I will take a look. Thank you @haughty quiver

[odd stream]

Fun show @haughty quiver, even with the video glitches. Lego stopmotion is cool. Old school claymation is great fun.

[haughty quiver]

thanks @odd stream !

thanks @hard hollow yes, Stop Motion Studio is the one I used toda

today

it's free and works great, available for iOS, android, win, mac os

[odd stream]

I used something at one point on OSX that used an iPhone as the capture camera. It was pretty cool.

[haughty quiver]

Oh, great reminder! Tethered is a great way to go. iStopMotion can do that.

[odd stream]

That might have been the one.

yup.. from Boinx

[haughty quiver]

There are some that let you use iPhone as the camera and iPad as the screen and controller and playback, which is super cool.

Yes, Boinx!

Dragonframe can use iPad as the camera, computer as capture, but most people use a DSLR or mirrorless w DF.

[odd stream]

Hmm... I'm wondering how it could be used for doing physical build videos. Seems like it would work: taking stills and stitching them together.

[haughty quiver]

@inner spade did a nice build video as stop motion https://youtu.be/K1Rzu0hYI9I

These combination boards loaded with a plethora of sensors make projects and prototyping so easy -- the Hallowing, the CPX, Crickit...

[quick veldt]

hmm...bot a little late

[waxen thistle]

@quick veldt Such things happen, those pesky internet gnomes love to cause mischief during broadcasts

[quick veldt]

@proper trench Are all of the female headers connected to the M0 chip or just enough for featherwings?

they aren't all labeled if I recall correctly

[proper trench]

@quick veldt the JSTs do not go to the feather headers

they are connected to the 'remaining' pins

so there's no pin conflicts

[rapid osprey]

Nice engineering for the plugin neopixel strip

[quick veldt]

Don't forget the pullup resistor! ^

[shell mason]

@proper trench well having 2 hallowings to skull eyes would be so cool with lens

[proper trench]

yes! you could do that 😄

[waxen thistle]

Things would normally wouldn't hear on Ask An Engineer: "Milk Jug Skull" 😃

wait...

[rapid hornet]

hahaha

[waxen thistle]

Hey folks, the bug's proper name will get snagged by the bad words filter --- let's call it a "roach" for short 😃

[shell mason]

think having 2 hallowings and you just plug in hallowing to eye socket and then 2 other so making nice spooky halloween project

[quick veldt]

I left the roach in my drawer for anyone who dares to clean my desk! 😈

[shell mason]

[waxen thistle]

Btw, that roach got me into some serious trouble -- family member nearly lost it when I hid it near the paper towels. I owed her a really sincere apology and a bouquet of flowers 🌻

[quick veldt]

For everyone

[waxen thistle]

Likewise for me on Youtube -- dropping quite a bit.

[rapid osprey]

Yeah youtube stream

[quick veldt]

so odd

[eager sapphire]

I think i am at 72p

[waxen thistle]

Anyone on Twitch, can you confirm similar performance?

[quick veldt]

I think JP's network is struggling

[bronze gazelle]

I’m getting no picture on twitch

[lean grail]

ohhhhhh Is LadyAda in here tonight????

[quick veldt]

yeah

[shell mason]

works on twitch

[quick veldt]

hallowing video artifact!

kinda cool

[shell mason]

pure video in twitch by the way

[eager sapphire]

Wow, click LIVE, and jump into the future

[bronze gazelle]

Yes, correction, twitch is working fine now

[quick veldt]

are we getting normal Ask an Engineer tonight or is this replacing it?

[waxen thistle]

I switched to Twitch, much nicer

[ivory kiln]

O sweet! Terminator head

Finally got discord to work.

[rapid hornet]

wooo!

[shell mason]

now that @haughty quiver mention and ladyada earlier so I get idea of staff where hallowing or 2 are and get some effect

[slow spire]

Refreshing seems to fix it for many.

thanks very much for joining in!

[eager sapphire]

Thanks @haughty quiver

[proper trench]

thanks @haughty quiver - some awesome projects!

[ivory kiln]

Have you tried getting two halowings to work together @haughty quiver ?

[open girder]

next week we're back 😃

[proper trench]

(well they're all awesome)

[haughty quiver]

such a great Adabox @proper trench :)

[proper trench]

team adabox!

[waxen thistle]

Thank you @haughty quiver and @proper trench for all the work you do with the Adaboxes -- present, past, and future! Thanks @open girder and your entire team for another awesome evening of shows!

[lavish stream]

That was fun, hadn't seen a live unboxing for Adabox before. (Well, not when it was actually live.)

[haughty quiver]

thanks @lavish stream !

[ivory kiln]

Ooo, guessing from the other comments, that I'm behind.

[proper trench]

@ivory kiln you could do it! just send a signal from one to the other over the sensor port

[shell mason]

Terminator @haughty quiver

[heavy siren]

Nice unboxing @haughty quiver

[bronze gazelle]

Thank you @haughty quiver

[proper trench]

but we don't hvae an example for it (yet)

[clear matrix]

Great job, @haughty quiver!

[fallow fractal]

The colors on the milk jug skull did show when it was in the lower right hand corner of the video feed.

[haughty quiver]

I spent the first 15 minutes crossing my fingers the internet would behave!

[quick veldt]

@proper trench You hacked your switch with a trinket m0 yet? Seems it's quite popular. 😋

[ivory kiln]

Sensor port! ha! I new it. Thanks Limor! @proper trench

[proper trench]

@quick veldt - iave seen it but haven't tried it since i play games on my switch 😄

[viral sail]

Thanks @haughty quiver and good night.

[haughty quiver]

bye!

[rapid hornet]

@haughty quiver have you done a speed test from your wirecast box?

[shell mason]

normally ask for engineer would be going still

[haughty quiver]

yes got 12mbps up right befor the show!

[rapid hornet]

hrm, weird!

[slow spire]

@proper trench Will I get a new new new new new fix tonight?

[inner spade]

Appreciate the thought put into preparing Adabox contents and the plethora of supporting projects. Nicely done, Adafruit!

[ivory kiln]

Does anyone know what kind of glue would be best to adhere the Hallowing screen to the back light?

[lavish stream]

@slow spire lol

[proper trench]

@slow spire we do have some new products in the shop - DOUBLE NEW next week!

[haughty quiver]

new new new new new!

[quick veldt]

Fun Fact: http://fast.com uses netflix's servers to speed test, wile the other speed test website uses a random server near you.

[shell mason]

Pew pew pew pew pew pew

[proper trench]

@ivory kiln what do you mean? like tape?

[heavy siren]

@ivory kiln I would try Devcon epoxy.

[lavish stream]

The new song always makes my day

[proper trench]

@ivory kiln - we use double sided foam tape but any tape will work just fine

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[ivory kiln]

Lol, we need to get audio to work on here @haughty quiver it's not the same without Limor singing it.

[rapid hornet]

@haughty quiver weird, that should be enough

[heavy siren]

Double sided Carpet tape from Ace or any hardware is thin and very sticky and strong.

[proper trench]

🎶 new new new 🎵

[haughty quiver]

@rapid hornet I agree, something odd seems to be going on

[ivory kiln]

well not tape @proper trench but something that would get it to stick to the back light like it's designed to

[open girder]

i have found that the internet likes to slow on weds nights when we are live, or at least, it's the most memorable

[quick veldt]

@proper trench What do you think of a rectangle Circuit Playground that has the same functions and sensors as the CPX but more pins and female headers. It could be smaller than an Uno formfactor but larger than a feather, to fit all the sensors. I think breadboarding is an important skill to learn, and I much prefer it over alligator pads personally. :)

[ionic crag]

spoopy internet grimlins eating bytes....

[haughty quiver]

I believe there is adhesive around the edges of the screen that stick it to the backlight

[proper trench]

try wrapping tape around the edges, usually these screens dont like being yanked, but they can be taped back on 😃

[rapid hornet]

@haughty quiver its a new machine too right? the video encoding should be easy for it

[haughty quiver]

pesky internet @open girder !

[plucky glen]

(a) where is the eye source code? (b) I want to synchronize the eyes to get both show the same thing (c) I want one of the eyes to follow an accelerometer /gyro so they move the way I move my head (control direction). goal is to control one eye, and have the other follow it.

[haughty quiver]

yes, it's seeming to be healthy as far as the encoding goes. @rapid hornet

[ivory kiln]

O sorry @proper trench , I missed ur next post to me. Really that's just double sided foam tape?

[proper trench]

@quick veldt no plans at this time but we'll think about it. most people go from a CPX to a feather and then breadboard all the sensors they need 😃

[haughty quiver]

not the case w my old machine!

[slow spire]

@quick veldt Or how about a round breadboard to go with CPX? 😄

[proper trench]

@ivory kiln yep!

[open girder]

@plucky glen https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-hallowing?view=all

[ivory kiln]

I wouldn't have guessed it would have been something so simple. 😃

[heavy siren]

@plucky glen Ladyada suggested using serial for the two to communicate when I asked her the very same thing last week.

[haughty quiver]

I'm so psyched that I've got so many things built for Halloween already this year, thanks to the Adabox !

[ivory kiln]

@proper trench any suggestions on how best to safely remove the old foam tape? So I can put on new?

[shell mason]

HalloPark

[haughty quiver]

ha!

[proper trench]

@plucky glen @heavy siren @ivory kiln maybe y'all can work on it together 😄

[shell mason]

JohnWeen

[proper trench]

@ivory kiln carefully scraping it with a spatula type thing?

we dont remove the tape usually

[haughty quiver]

rubbing alcohol?

[lavish stream]

I'm pretty upset that I'll be at a work conference during Halloween. I'm thinking I'll bring Hallowing to wear in lieu of my normal lame badge to make me feel better.

[haughty quiver]

that's a great solution @lavish stream !

[fallow fractal]

We use baby oil. I make tape for a living.

[haughty quiver]

thanks @fallow fractal that's great to know

[ivory kiln]

Cool, I'm all for a team effort! Then we three can do a right up

[quick veldt]

yes my Hallowing looks so sharp I just want to wear it everywhere!

[heavy siren]

@crude rune I have a coupple of Hallowings. So I can try it. Just been so busy with my new job
I've had to cut down on the hobby time.

Got tired of retirement.

Turned from Techie to Trucker...
