@open girder - during the Q&A - Ladyada's videos on Eagle are awesome. It's how I learned PCB layout. Yet I had to find a supplier & navigate that process (I use PCBWay and it works well). Do you guys have any desire/plans to add PCB service or partner with someone & have a standard path from your guides to a completed PCB?

odd stream
#

@tired shale It uses CircuitPythons random.randint

waxen thistle
#

@strange mantle Thanks!

odd stream
#

@tired shale Not sure if that uses the SAMD51's true RNG.

That is so awesome to watch!!

Love the new OctoLapse

tired shale
#

@odd stream Interesting, I was just joking though. I don't expect it to be truly random

@tired shale If it takes advantage of the hardware RNG, it would be.

@tired shale - I think the answer is yes - @paper peak would know for sure

@odd stream yeah, but I wouldn't expect it to be used just for this, it makes more sense to have it common across boards

Well.. all the SAMD51 boards.

@tired shale @pearl shoal the seed for the random module uses hardware random when available

cool, thanks @rapid hornet

pearl shoal
#

Gotcha - cool πŸ˜ƒ

#

What headers are on that?

#

Looks like it's made for holding stacking headers through it?

#

No, the pi headers - they look like they can take stackers through them

eager sapphire
#

I missed hearing some of that - will it include .h/.c/.cpp sources?

fallen rivet
#

Q: How many of the RPi I/Os are left after the CrickHat takes what it needs?'

pearl shoal
#

Almost all of them - they use i2c

wanton dome
#

Most? I think it just uses i2c and i2s

#

and you can still have more stuff on the i2c bus

pearl shoal
#

Yes, i2c is unknown to me (hence the almost)

#

i2s

#

not i2c

odd stream
#

The serial interface is a nice touch

wanton dome
#

fo sho

#

I assume they come with butter and napkins 'cause they're gonna sell like hotcakes

odd stream
#

Plus, it's on a Pi, so you can use any language that gives you access to I2C (which should be all).

pearl shoal
#

I can get rid of my pi->feather adapter now πŸ˜ƒ

waxen thistle

I don't know how I'd use the cereal interface, is it good for writing fruit loops?

Just be careful if you load Bon Jovi as your song -- otherwise, your GPS will be telling you that you're only "halfway there."

Thanks @haughty quiver ! The Launch Deck will be a real time saver for KiCAD and my DAW, not just app switching.

haughty quiver

let me know if anyone has a favorite hotkey app launcher for Linux

young adder

Yeah my goal is to emulate keys inside a running software, so it should be a piece of cake ! just have to send the correct keycode

Thanks for the tip there John! I didnt know that Windows + a number opened the program on that slot of the taskbar

haughty quiver
#

yes, 1 through 0!

young adder
#

Well, actually, if the launcher can start OBS for me then it's even better !

haughty quiver
#

OK, here will be the upgrade challenge if anyone gets excited about it -- add virtual pages of buttons to the Launch Deck that you access by tilting it left and right.

sage aspen
#

Nice idea

young adder
#

not very practical but very fun πŸ˜ƒ

#

have the keys turn a certain color to indicate which page is active

#

that would be cool !

lavish patrol

Or you shake it to send things to the trash. 😬

young adder

this shortcut is on the red page, this one on the blue page !

lean grail

I mean, That doesnt sound tooooo hard to do John, though i dont know the tilting part so id just have it page using 2 specific buttons

waxen thistle
#

@haughty quiver Without even opening the VoD, from reading the comments -- it sounds like you used the M4 Neotrellis as a DIY "Stream Deck" for mapping actions on one's computer/specific application. Probably as a HID with keyboard shortcuts?

haughty quiver
#

YES!

#

Well deduced my dear Certainly.

waxen thistle
#

Haha, awesomesauce. That's one of the things I plan on doing with the M4 trellis, and taking that code & tweaking it for a handheld version with a dual neotrellis PCB board.

#

Pair it with a wifi featherwing

#

Baby steps

#

[I'm irritated, they no longer make the etekcity "hook hub" for my non-smart wireless lighting setup... I think I have to figure out how to do it manually at the 433 MHz range]

smoky patrol
#

@haughty quiver is it possible to have a single launch deck neotrellis be able to feed commands to multiple machines? Where can I find a recordind onyesterdays program?

#

should be "recording of yesterday's program"

shell mason
#

its in adafruit youtube page at least

haughty quiver
#

@smoky patrol I don't know of a cheap/simple way to use one USB device simultaneously on multiple computers. I found once company that sells a device for $500 that does! http://www.vetra.com/844Ukmtext.html Does anyone here have ideas on routing HID to two machines?

#

I imagine one way would be to add something small like a Trinket M0 and have the Trellis M4 send commands over UART to the Trinket M0 which is plugged into your second machine.

prime sentinel
#

There are USB host adapter chips available, it seems like using a few of those and a USB capable microcontroller would do the trick.

haughty quiver
#

While the Trellis M4 sends USB to the first one.

prime sentinel
#

One such chip is the MAX3421E

haughty quiver
#

some searching shows an old virtual KVM software solution for mac https://github.com/abyssoft/teleport and this one for Windows and mac and Linux https://symless.com/synergy

#

Although I'm not sure of those allow a single HID command to go out simultaneously to multiple machines or not

delicate depot
#

Trinket M0 can operate as USB host using Arduino. See the example USBHost | KeyboardController. The TM0 must be powered via its USB pin.

smoky patrol
#

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have used Synergy and have it on my systems and it works great but I have an idiosyncratic setup.

#

I will look into some of the suggestions and let you all know if I get something to do what I want. Since I have a trinket M0, I will start with that.

fathom sparrow
#

@haughty quiver Synergy doesn't actually let you connect two devices to two physical machines -- it's desktop-sharing software. Host machine has the keyboard and mouse, sends commands to other machines via network. All machines must be running Synergy. Not expandable past keyboard and mouse.

haughty quiver
#

OK, got it. Thanks.

#

@fathom sparrow

#

@smoky patrol -- excellent. I think my approach to test that would be two Trinket M0 boards talking to each other over serial, and a button on the primary one. Press button, primary Trinket M0 sends a USB HID command to computer one and a message over serial to second Trinket M0, which sends the same USB HID command to computer two.

smoky patrol
#

@haughty quiver - I want the behavior to be different on both machines so I will have the trellis send the machine A commands (machine identified A buttons) to machine A and send the machine B commands over serial to the M0 connected to machine B. Are there any problems with this scenario?

haughty quiver
#

That sounds good @smoky patrol

It's a phrase I happily borrowed from Ducktales (the original cartoon). Gizmoduck's activation keyword was "blatherin' blatherskite!"

If I had to trace back my DIY inspiration -- if I pointed to media, it would be Gyro Gearloose on Ducktales (making crazy contraptions)....and the 1936 cartoon short "Christmas Comes But Once a Year" where the protagonist makes toys for an orphanage out of random, commonly available household items.

@haughty quiver it works on all, but you can't mix the board types. e.g. can't use a Trellis uf2 on a Feather M0 uf2; memory locations are different.

#

@dense marlin i'm working on the guide right now, should be out tomorrow or Monday.

dense marlin
#

okay, I just realized, as my Adabox is not jet there, I have not all components anyway.

#

I play around with the Arp

#

The arp from the library example makes some background noise, is this normal?

#

Maybe it is a ground noise from powering via USB.

haughty quiver
#

I'll test it out again here, I don't think I had noise w the arp

#

Ah, OK, I do hear a bit of hiss using the synth mode (not MIDI mode). It's the same w USB battery and wall supply, so I don't think its a ground thing.

inner spade
#

@dense marlin So that I can recreate your setup, are you using a TRS or TRRS plug for audio output?

dense marlin
#

Hi @inner spade I use a TRS plug

inner spade
#

Thanks. The Trellis has an interesting TRRS arrangement to support the mic input that uses a floating ground -- that allows dual use of the mic input for a control switch. Don't know if that could be a contributing factor (shouldn't). This will be an opportunity to learn! I'll be looking into this tomorrow. @dense marlin @haughty quiver

haughty quiver
#

Oh good point, I hadn't thought of that -- It may be a good test to try two sets of earbuds one TRS and one TRRS and see if it changes.

#

I think i have a TRRS breakout adapter somewhere that I can use to try some things. @inner spade @dense marlin

inner spade
#

@haughty quiver @dense marlin I'll also check the stored sample levels and the software mixer parameters. It could potentially be due to a low output level. That can happen with linear (summing) mixer algorithms that set channel volumes conservatively low to avoid output clipping.

inner spade
#

@dense marlin @haughty quiver The tests I performed this morning appear to be mostly power supply -related. The noise decreased from about -34db peak (relative to a single note arp peak) to -39db when moving to an isolated battery without any digital circuitry. The noise spectrum changed as well indicating quite a bit of bleed-through from the host computer. Compared to running the ARP code, placing the Trellis M4 into boot mode caused the noise level to decrease when powered by USB. The noise essentially disappeared when in boot mode on the isolated battery, probably because the DAC output pin was disabled (high-impedance state).

#

My guess is that we're seeing power source bleedthrough when the M4's DAC is enabled. Given the spectra, it doesn't seem to be caused by something in the ARP code such as the tone generator or mixer because of the high-frequency components.

fallen siren
#

I know I will feel foolish for asking but...what is ARP?

inner spade
fallen siren
#

Ah haven't got to that one yet, thanks. I have had my TrellisM4 since the 22nd of last month. It is the first product I have purchased direct from Adafruit. I live in the UK and the shipping costs + import duty are quite high. No complaints though I think it is great that Adafruit do international shipping. Anyhow the TrellisM4 ticks all the boxes for me and I'm having a blast playing with it.

inner spade
#

Yeah, the NeoTrellis M4 is a super design and implementation. Its STEMMA interface is very flexible for interfacing with a variety of devices and equipment, particularly for some of my Eurorack synth projects.

#

Pretty lights, too.

#

Just wish it could be a USB host, too...

#

BTW, is that a TTY35 in your profile pic? Nice.

#

... or 33?

fallen siren
#

Yeah I was going to add I love the LEDs too. I know v little about synthesisers but the 80s were my 16-25 decade.

#

I am embarrassed to say I don't know the make/model of the TTY. I found the picture somewhere online and am using it (w/o permission!) because it looks very much like the first "computer" I ever used back in 1975/6. My Dad was on UK/US military exchange. We were living in Montgomery, AL for a year and Dad brought home a TTY very much like the one in the picture. We connected to a USAF mainframe somewhere - Ma Bell, acoustic coupler modem (1200/300 baud ?). I played a lunar lander simulator on it - I was 11 or 12 years old and I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

inner spade
#

Nice. I used to work on them after college, back in 19(ahem). They were being slowing replaced by more modern devices, but the company I worked for still had dozens of them, mostly used to capture research data on the paper tape punch. I remember lots of oil and patience required.

#

Most were 110baud. The older ones were 72baud, if I recall.

fallen siren
#

I attended a Sixth Form college in 80/81 that still had a couple of terminals with paper tape punch/readers and I used them but I did most of my course work on Commodore Pets.

inner spade
#

TTYs, Pets, Apple II -- very transformational devices at the time, weren't they? I'm really glad that we've moved past them, though.

fallen siren
#

Yes and no. The BBC Micro launched in England in 1982 with the Model A and Model B (if you had the money). That is where the Raspberry Pi got it's model names from. As I understand it the first ARM processor was developed as a coprocessor project on the BBC Micro at Acorn in Cambridge. When the Acorn Archimedes came along they were amazing and everything with an ARM processor now traces its heritage back to those machines.

inner spade
#

Indeed. I appreciate the architectural strides and milestones that formed what we have in-hand today. Looking forward to the next generation, too.

fallen siren
#

Definitely. I just like computers, microcontrollers, SBCs, consoles, anything really. I count myself lucky to have been around to play with so many different machines. And yes I'm looking forward to what comes next too. I have a not quite five year old daughter and I get to experience the excitement all over again with her.

It's interesting you should be talking about background noise and USB. I was recently having a lot of trouble with noise on my mixer. It was a combination of ground loop and 5V noise. The solution was to isolate all of my audio gear from the PC's USB power (via a separate 5v supply) and an iFi Circuit iDefender 3.0. (I may have been able to do this other ways)

odd stream
#

@young adder Did you get anywhere yet with making a memory game for the trellis? I was bored last night so I had a go at it. There's just a few polishing touches left to add.

inner spade
#

@jagged aspen That's a good solution. For in-studio and field audio recording, I've used a combination of power supply isolation/substitution and audio signal transformer isolation techniques, depending on the situation. Once all that was needed was a ferrite bead on the USB cable. In that case, it was a noisy external power supply.
