Call me crazy, but there are moments in DS9 that I absolutely love. Pretty much anything with Garak.

If Garak was placed in Westeros, we'd have maybe 2x seasons of Game of Thrones, at most.

Hello! I used to go to school for electronics but they started us with 2 years of theory so I got bored and didn't really study. I want to get back to it. Do I start with basic electricity or the low level stuff like half-adders - what I am interested in doing with electronics is - making my own tiny devices from scratch, that will handle some I/O, LCD, etc, also making my own USB devices, also I am interested in reverse engineering electronics (mostly arm driven keyboards) and USB devices. I have alredy played with Arduino and NodeMCU and done some basic stuff but I want to make sure I properly understand everything even at low level.

@open girder Q: Hello! I used to go to school for electronics but they started us with 2 years of theory so I got bored and didn't really study. I want to get back to it. Do I start with basic electricity or the low level stuff like half-adders - what I am interested in doing with electronics is - making my own tiny devices from scratch, that will handle some I/O, LCD, etc, also making my own USB devices, also I am interested in reverse engineering electronics (mostly arm driven keyboards) and USB devices. I have alredy played with Arduino and NodeMCU and done some basic stuff but I want to make sure I properly understand everything even at low level.

Q: Where are the ESP32, and nRF52840 in terms of speed compared to the M0 and M4 that Adafruit uses for most Circuitpython devices. And since ESP32 runs MicroPython, any plans to port Circuitpython?

Lowering the barrier to entry + obstacles for someone just learning is the most important thing. Momentum is so hard to generate and even harder to maintain. 🐊 clips are your best friend.

waxen thistle Feb 6, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

@haughty quiver Though, I'd hesitate personally with a LACK cabinet. A 3D printer generates heat, there is always a risk of fire, and the LACK is literally cardboard-filled particleboard.

On the other hand, you can dress it up nicely with neopixels, RPi streaming camera for remote monitoring, and smoke detection.

rocky reef Feb 6, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

@waxen thistle @haughty quiver i see some people use ikea cabinets, they add acrylic walls

haughty quiver Feb 6, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

Yeah, I think enclosing it is probably a good idea in a lot of ways, but also a bit of a pain for getting at all the parts.

rocky reef Feb 6, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

also set the bed hotter? maybe 90c

shell mason Feb 6, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

soon @haughty quiver have tempcamera with sensor to detect temp flux in workshop if it get away

haughty quiver Feb 6, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

oh wow, that's quite hot compared to the 60c i'm using @calm nebula!

#

It actually finished the print, but shifted 2mm halfway though and had the sad Ultimaker is too cold error displayed

waxen thistle Feb 6, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

The nice part about the LACK is it's just a table....you can design it so the upper portion just lifts off the base to access all the parts inside. And it's dirt cheap.

rocky reef Feb 6, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

or 70? just to compensate the coldness

prime sentinel Feb 6, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

I'd probably try enclosing it in some simple fashion (cardboard box), then adding a temperature sensor, fan, smoke detector, and alert beeper, maybe a heater (light bulb) and some Arduino code to make sure it didn't get too warm or too cold and alert if something went awry.

rocky reef Feb 6, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

ah good idea @waxen thistle

#

@haughty quiver oh wow, didn't know the ultimaker could display that cold error

waxen thistle Feb 6, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

@prime sentinel Solid idea -- there's about a half-dozen projects one can generate from such an enclosure. Smoke sensor, camera, fan, temperature, etc. Combine it with adafruit IO, etc.

haughty quiver Feb 6, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

@haughty quiver I wonder if a 3D printer cab could be built with a traditional sheetrock interior lining and fire-resistant insulation, like Owens-Corning 703. Yeah, would be heavier than cardboard, but safer and warmer. And very quiet.

prime sentinel Feb 6, 2019, 9:53 PM

Or the paper-free sheetrock or just even heavier cement backerboard.

Speaking of Does anyone know what sim cards work with FeatherFona in the UK?

heavy siren Feb 7, 2019, 2:40 AM

If you want cellular, I'm assuming, you may want to look at Adafruits line of micros from Particle. They have an Electron that may fit the bill for you. I have thier Photon for my weather station and it works great.

What are you building @dusty salmon ? What kinds of messages and bandwidth do you need? Is LoRa an option? (It can be free.)

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

I was trying to build my own phone for text messages and ideally phone calls that could also interact with i2c. Mostly born out of disliking the last 3 phones I had and wanting to see if I could make something to work how I like. I want to re program it instead of settings that don't fit my needs.

#

If I set a calender event I want the choice of actions to be only limited by my imagination or have an incoming call event trigger a servo just because that's how I feel that day

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

That sounds all kinds of fun!

#

I've integrated the SIM808 module that powers one of the FONA boards into a product, it's interesting.

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

I recently stayed in a smart house with remotes that had a 4 line high display, accelerator and wifi that could control lights, blinds, music (including searching Dizzer for songs and playlists) you could transfer music from one room to another. That was fun!

#

nice

Cool. Sounds like 2G would probably be enough, @dusty salmon . Try posting a question asking about UK Fona 2G SIMS in:

#

I'll book mark that for tomorrow, thanks.

#

The remotes controlled TV's XBox One's and even the heating (but that part was dodgy)

#

The house had Alexa Show (Alexa with 7 or 8 inch screens built in)

#

All I could think was Adafruit makes everything in the remote and many things the house used

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

They're sunsetting 2G in most of the UK, so you may be stuck going with a more modern chip (Telit and ublox make some good modules).

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:08 AM

#

Most of the time my phone only works on 2g internet so I hope not too soon. 3g tries but never works

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 3:09 AM

#

Ah, that's handy, there are a lot more 2G modules out there, and they're cheaper than the LTE versions.

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:09 AM

#

my contract is still a year on it

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 3:09 AM

This is a great module and you can plug it into a breadboard, but at $115 it's not cheap https://www.mikroe.com/4g-lte-e-click

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:12 AM

That looks super useful, my current phone contract should be 4g despite it's performance.

Here's one of the earlier Mikrobus modules in a project I was working on.

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

did you steal that?

#

it says stolen

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

Heh, it receives notification via SMS over the cellular modem (as well as some geofencing type processing) and marks itself as "stolen". We later changed the wording to "lost".

#

We also later changed the cellular modem to a FONA 808 😃

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

So looking at the pin out it's UART and powered by 5v, would I need to give it 5v and 3.3v I normally only use adafruit and rasberry pi based stuff

#

that's built to stack on a fixed format, this mikroBUS is brand new to me

#

do adafruit have a feather wing to RPi adapter hat to put feather wings on a Pi?

dusty salmon Feb 7, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

ooohh, the flip and click sam3x acts as both an Arduino form factor and 4 socket mikroBUS and runs Arduino and Python. bu it is $49

prime sentinel Feb 7, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

As you can see, I didn't have any Mikrobus hardware, I just plugged it into a breadboard and wired up the signals I needed.

#

If you want a soldered down instead of breadboarded implementation, you could get a Proto Hat and solder up something workable.

haughty quiver Feb 7, 2019, 9:36 PM

Yes, it's very maker friendly.

#

I have created arpeggiators for it with a Trinket M0, it's very easy to hook into it.

#

Moog did a nice series of tutorials on hacking it.

Yes, saw them. But I don’t have one jet.

haughty quiver Feb 7, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

https://www.werkstattworkshop.com/

dense marlin Feb 7, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

So back to the project today. This is not working with the M0 Bluefruit right? I’m still confused with the difference of these boards.

haughty quiver Feb 7, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

The nRF52840 has so much more speed and space that it's the best choice for BLE on a Feather in CircuitPython.

dense marlin Feb 7, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

And the M0 Bluefruit is better for Arduino than.

haughty quiver Feb 7, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

Either is good to use with Arduino.

#

However, I was able to get BLE working on the M0 Bluefruit feather: https://learn.adafruit.com/munny-lamp/code-with-circuitpython

MUNNY Glowing Friend with Bluetooth Control!

Your colorful, glowing, wireless vinyl desk buddy!

#

I think you'll run out of room quickly if you try to do much more on the M0.

#

I don't think you could necessarily load all the libraries needed for today's project on the M0.

dense marlin Feb 7, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Okay.

cinder wind Feb 7, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Also on the M0 Bluefruit feather, the BLE function is on a separate chip, so I don't think you can use the BLE functions of CircuitPython, even if you had the space. (In the Arduino realm, you talk to the BLE part of the M0 Bluefruit as if it were a serial device)

#

It is confusing though, because there are so many different ways to do things

haughty quiver Feb 7, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

Yes -- if you look at the code in the Munny project it is much more of a brute force hack that Limor created to get it working

#

it's BluefruitSPI

#
