Adafruit Grand Central M4 Express featuring the SAMD51 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4064

[simple goblet]

@eager sapphire i don't really get how to reply to discord - sorry - it was just something fun for kids to do at dinner party and learn something new - so they learned how to use heat gun and understand hdpe - they left feeling empowered using a new tool - the heat gun - it was a fun melty skull xmas 😉

[lavish patrol]

🚂 🚋 🚋 🚋 🚋 🚋

[haughty quiver]

nice

[eager sapphire]

Absolutely, @simple goblet , understood. It was just an interesting expression to understand immediately, like that

[pearl shoal]

Q for the Q Section - how many of the pins on the Grand Central can use Touch IO?

[waxen thistle]

Can it be powered over the micro-usb also?

[rapid hornet]

we don't have touch support on the 51 yet

[pearl shoal]

What about via Arduino? Ladyada's Touch library?

[rapid hornet]

I'm not sure if dean did it

[molten ether]

is it possible to access the QSPI Flash (for logging and such) from c++ arduino code on the M4 boards?

[lavish patrol]

Keyboards, train whistles... What a funny day. 😃

[fiery coyote]

Can you do rgb on a e ink display?

[sage aspen]

RGB isn't possible yet on eInk due to the way the technology works.

See ya all next week!

[river peak]

Thanks to the keyboard crew earlier this evening, my keyboard is now completely apart and I'm using my spare.

First off, keyboards are gross

Second, plan is to replace the pure-blue LEDs with RGB ones. Because I can. And likely replace the whole driver chip, also because I can.

[pearl shoal]

Not sure where this goes (#general-tech?) But is there a Makefile or process for rebuilding the Fritzing library files? I see new file from @low fractal from just a few days ago, but it doesn't look like the library files are updated.... just hoping there's either a continuous integration (like @clear matrix manages for CP) or some script I can run?

[clear matrix]

@pearl shoal I'm not sure I understand the issue you're having.

[pearl shoal]

Sorry - I tried to download the Adafruit Fritzing library

It doesn't have all the parts in the Parts folder

Like the M4 boards

https://github.com/adafruit/Fritzing-Library

parts were updated 8 days ago by @low fractal but the fzbz file with all the parts was not rebuilt

[clear matrix]

Mine is up to date...

Locally. I have the nRF52840 which is what was added.

Did you clone the repo?

[pearl shoal]

I grabbed the file from the web interface

[clear matrix]

@pearl shoal Ohh.... the files in the main page of the repo? Ok yeah I have no idea how those work. I've always worked directly from a cloned copy of the repo which has all the parts in it.

[pearl shoal]

Strange that it says they're 1 year out of date

Ok, I will clone and work from there

[clear matrix]

There's a parts folder that contains everything.

[pearl shoal]

Yes, I found each one I needed

Just wanted to get the whole library

and it looked out of date

[clear matrix]

That it does.

[waxen thistle]

The big red button reminds me of 2001. "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid can't do that.

[pearl shoal]

I love it when they listen to me 😃

[eager sapphire]

I thought it was an “easy” button

[waxen thistle]

....that explains why I never find any of those buttons in my line of work.

[eager sapphire]

...unless they are labeled PANIC

(Stuck on)

[waxen thistle]

EPO (emergency power off) under a lift cover or a shatter-glass panel. Those terrify me. Because usually they're connected to Halon.

[dense marlin]

DON'T PANIC

[eager sapphire]

In large, friendly letters

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

[inner spade]

or SCRAM in the control room...

[eager sapphire]

Our labs had nitrogen sensors that took, oh, a year of proper calibration. We got a lil jaded. They’d go off at random.

Hold your breath, finish the test, run out lol

[pearl shoal]

You're doing great 😃

[lavish patrol]

@eager sapphire Given that the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, I could see how that would be problematic.

[pearl shoal]

If you want to get fancier, ask your High School Robotics Club for help 😃

[eager sapphire]

I think they were set to something like ... 90% +

[pearl shoal]

Don't lose that little piece of plastic!

Or you'll short against the shell

[eager sapphire]

A serious nitrogen leak would displace oxygen quickly - but such a leak I’d think would be audible

[pearl shoal]

Push-On Push-Off buttons might make sense too

What game are you playing? It looks like a good one for teaching use of XBox

I've been practicing with Minecraft (very boring)

[inner spade]

Q: can the XAC accept open-collector or open-drain input or just switch contacts?

[pearl shoal]

Wired correctly, (paying attention to ground and polarity) it should be OK w/a Darlington... but relays are always good

[waxen thistle]

There's no limit to what you can do with limit switches!

[pearl shoal]

And the Left and Right Triggers

[eager sapphire]

Literally, drive it up the wall

[pearl shoal]

Johnson

CoPilot is worth mentioning - it's not just for using two controllers, it lets one person (sibling, parent) manage some parts (motion) but gives one or two events to a child with severe limitations

Reach out to your high school robotics team if you need help with the soldering etc.

We (atmakers.org) can help them find them

I feel like I hijacked your show 😃

[eager sapphire]

It’s an excellent cause and use of technology, @pearl shoal

[pearl shoal]

Games with no timing issues are hard to find and great for teaching

[dense marlin]

Cool project. I like the fact that this could be done without soldering. Helps in educational settings.

[inner spade]

Excellent project @haughty quiver. Looking forward to your guide.

[pearl shoal]

Nice work, John!

[pearl shoal]

For those following along, HID Gamepad support via the two USB ports is ... forthcoming

Basically HID Joystick (which nobody does) works if you match their expectations exactly

HID Gamepad doesn't yet work correctly

but @paper peak and I are working to adapt CircuitPython to match their expectation and Bryce is working to improve support for more common gamepad setups.

Look for an update in the next few weeks

[dense marlin]

@fallen siren hope you enjoy my little jams

[blazing atlas]

@pearl shoal this is awesome info!

[prime sentinel]

The PlayStation Classic uses USB joysticks, I wonder if they're HID

[waxen thistle]

@prime sentinel I was considering that myself -- look how precipitous the price drop has been for the PSC since release.

I am holding out for a fire sale to grab a few for "parts" and experimentation.

[prime sentinel]

I've read some of the teardowns, it looks like it's just an emulator in a box, and the firmware dump lists a ton of games that aren't on it, but presumably were tested.

[waxen thistle]

Most of these "classic" consoles are exactly that -- a linux board in a box. Which I have no complaints about, it's a smart move to repurpose old intellectual property.

But they're very limited in terms of what they can do -- can't import/export data, no network connectivity, etc. Even short controller cords (seriously, nintendo?)

So, I look at them as a novelty until someone takes it from 75% to 100%....and adds some innovative features. But that would mean doing work, and well....it's easier to toss ROMs and be done with it.

[river peak]

@waxen thistle If I remember correctly, some of the roms on the NES classic were traced to have been downloaded from a rom site.

[bronze stratus]

Can I talk with someone from custom service quickly?

I’m trying to convince my school board to buy Circuit Playground Express?

Quebec, Canada!!!!

Your product is not even on the famous ministry of Quebec education.

Did you guys send some promo to school board in each provinces in Canada or you’re not there yet?

[inner spade]

Suggest you post in Adafruit's support forum. They have been very responsive in my experience. https://forums.adafruit.com/

[bronze stratus]

Thanks CGrover, I’ll try that

[visual tartan]

@bronze stratus Knowing le ministère de l'éducation, maybe they passed on the Circuit Playground Express for lack of French labeling, documentation and the like. I remember when working in a Cegep that acquiring components and devices for usage by students proved tricky if not fully translated and localized

[bronze stratus]

Thank you odevee but probably you’re right with that. But, ...CPE is so great, I really wished language would not be an issue especially since I am an ESL teacher and using CPE already with my students. I bought them with my own $ and with Le Plan Numérique each school have a budget to buy stuff but unfortunately since CPE is not on THE list, I won’t be able to buy CPE.

[visual tartan]

@bronze stratus Circuit Playground Express is indeed an awesome device. Not just for students but also as a cool platform to keep around when experimenting. I truly love mine and it's my go to when I want to try stuff on SAMD21 without busting out all the equipment. It's not awesome that Le Plan Numérique doesn't take that device into account. Hopefully that list will be revised soon.

a while ago when the Grand Central was still in The Vault I think Ladyada mentioned the header block at the end of the board was pinned out to match the OV7670 camera module for PCC, did that make it into the final design?

[eager sapphire]

X11 has a decent font library, smart choice

That's a cool board.

[waxen thistle]

ok you're back

[young adder]

yeah, back

[waxen thistle]

it sounded like we stuck our heads into a van degraff generator.

[inner spade]

Bunch of clicks, low freq.

[sage aspen]

[waxen thistle]

I hear a lot of static clicks and you sound muffled

[lavish patrol]

Oh, Superman...

[eager sapphire]

Should we be hearing something?

Because.....

Not.

I hear his voice, yes

[inner spade]

The music sound was in there, just really low.

[lavish patrol]

It was very quiet, but I could hear it.

[eager sapphire]

If I crank up the volume, I just know he’s gonna play a track from Machine Head.

That proto-board solution looks just fine

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver Can you link the box you're using there? (after the show)

[haughty quiver]

https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/usb_midi/__init__.html

very minimal at the moment. will be expanded as Limor writes the higher level commands.

this is a typical note on message: midi_out.write(b"\x90\x3c\x40")

Hey now, peeking in my drawers at my header pin collection?

[lavish patrol]

Joy oh joy!

[eager sapphire]

All two of them?

Between the bot-face and the mustache, I think maybe the mustache

[waxen thistle]

[lavish patrol]

What about a bot with a mustache?

[waxen thistle]

That mug....I thought I heard it say "i'm not throwin' away my shot".

and I prefer Coca-Cola instead of Sprite. 😃

[eager sapphire]

Too much

[past nova]

hey all

I've been playing with the make arcade and loving it

[waxen thistle]

MakeCode Minute? More like MakeCode Half-Hour!

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

@haughty quiver The inconsistent BPM, do you think that's in the hardware or in MakeCode's implementation of it?

ok....that piano keyboard popup is pretty rad.

[naive ingot]

Note that in my experience when copying text in JavaScript (probably not possible to copy blocks) and pasting for new stanzas or from one example to another, MakeCode does not allow pasting text in JavaScript with right or left mouse buttons: key stroke of Ctrl +v works for me. Mouse click does work for copying; just not pasting-odd, MakeCode.

[waxen thistle]

"I'm inside the code"....finally, proof we're all part of the MakeCode Matrix.

[lavish patrol]

Lawnmower Man?

[eager sapphire]

Is there a scheme in Make Code to store those notes as an array (and loop through it instead)?

[lavish patrol]

Does anyone remember BASIC's PLAY function?

[eager sapphire]

E.g. typedef struct {int note, len} NOTE_T; NOTE_T music[length] = {....}

Instead of all those function calls

I do, Andy, wow time warp

[lavish patrol]

Long time ago. There was also a DRAW function.

[fallen siren]

@lavish patrol BBC BASIC?

[lavish patrol]

@fallen siren No, MS BASIC and GW BASIC.

PowerBASIC also had it.

[eager sapphire]

And even a variety called BÁSICA

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

[eager sapphire]

And BASCOM. Wow. Time travel.

[lavish patrol]

Ah. The 1980s.

[fallen siren]

The past is another country. Where does that reference/quote come from anyway?

[eager sapphire]

“The past is a foreign country” - JP Hartley (apparently). (Whoops that’s LP Hartley)

Thanks for this John

[waxen thistle]

Thanks for another awesome show @haughty quiver !

[haughty quiver]

Very welcome, thanks

[eager sapphire]

Indeed thanks

[lavish patrol]

Thanks, @haughty quiver

[signal latch]

Thanks

[eager sapphire]

Ok talking and typing at the same time — or, there is lag in these parts

[fallen siren]

Really enjoyed it @haughty quiver Thank you.

[haughty quiver]

Super!

[past nova]

thanks, awesome show @haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]

@waxen thistle I think the hardware could play the bpm consistently, it just doesn't seem to match the real world of BPM

[naive ingot]

Might ask you some time, since I have bought your boop toon, what , besides acknowledgement do you require for use on MakeCode and Hardware and MakeCode and Arcade YouTube channels with video? Allowed with your name and link to purchase site? Or not allowed, we understand if that is the case.

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood before.

Thank you 😃

[lavish patrol]

I must away... night all. 🙂

[haughty quiver]

@random urchin sure, an acknowledgment and link -- here's the CC license I used: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

[naive ingot]

OK, thanks.

[haughty quiver]

@eager sapphire yes, great idea, I think I've put measures of notes that repeat in to loops before

i have been watching SO much Star Trek TOS while I've been working on my helmet this week, I've got all the sound bites echoing in my head forever and ever until the end of time
