@haughty quiver the joystick project is based on a nRF52 chip and uses <bluefruit.h> in the sketch. I can't compile it on a Feather M0 Bluefruit.

#

I tried the ios-switch-control-using-ble learning guide from above, but was not able to add another button and commands like Volume Up/Down etc.

Oh good, is is working now?

Yes, it works. But only with 3 Buttons.

Nice, didn't know there is something like WoR

I'd like to point out that Mr. Ladyada figured out how to force the MakeCode background green with a javascript hack, and then the MakeCode team liked it so much the made a real feature for it.

@river peak no, I missed that, lemme search.

Thank you sir!

the app actually detected my BLE light bulb which is not at all an Adafruit thing

haughty quiver

You can also use it to send data from the Feather back to the UART display on the phone, which is super cool for some applications.

young adder
#

it gave me a lot of info about it, but could not drive it.

haughty quiver
#

Haha, yes, I turn on the filter that only shows devices with UART to keep the list small.

would the app be able to "talk" to a Raspberry Pi or some other intelligent, non adafruit devices ?

Oh I don't mean the OS

#

I mean the direction of the company and MacOS hardware

#

If I could have MacOS without buying Apple hardware I would

#

It's a nice compromise between Linux and Windows

odd stream
#

@quick veldt Too many seatbelts and airbags for me. Too much stuff getting in my way.

#

With MacOS?

odd stream
#

Windows and MacOS are increasingly designed for the non tech-savvy.

#

To be fair, that was always the vision of Macintosh

#

I, personally, prefer a wickedly sharp powertool.

quick veldt
#

To me, MacOS is Linux with software support

odd stream
#

Linux with rounded rects 😃

quick veldt
#

Windows is the king of software with the worst possible way to manage packages

#

MacOS has a delightful and great to use appstore

#

Linux has a great package manager without all the of same software

Do you ship the board as black or purple?

black, the purple is the prototypes

Has anyone looked at creating dynamic bitmaps for PyPortal within the CircuitPython code running on the PyPortal? I have one arriving this week and am thinking of using it to show status of forecast/actuals by creating squares to represent 12 months, 4 quarters, year end and based on JSON data downloaded daily, I would rebuild the bitmap to show squares as green/yellow/red as data changes daily/weekly/monthly. I know there appears to be APIs for text and graphics besides pulling down a bmp file from site. I am guessing I would have to rebuild the pixels for each square as color changes based on data. It would be similar to updating counts but those are text fields instead of graphics. I guess I could also have a serverless function in the cloud somewhere that builds the bitmap and then I would just refresh the bmp at intervals rather than do the processing on PyPortal.

@rocky reef is the STL for that pyportal stand available ? Missed the show but will catch it when I get home. So disregard if you mention it.

Heh. Just checked thingiverse and there it was. Will print a couple this afternoon!

#

@hard hollow The two orientations are a nice touch. Any reason the base is open on one?

hard hollow
#

@odd stream oh yea it was mainly to save on print time (cuts about half hour)

I only used to get excited about Friday's.. obvious reason, end of the week. Now since I got hooked on adafruit and fell down it's rabbit hole.. I love Wednesday's too 😃

#

So thanks adafruit for helping us get thru our work weeks 😃

odd stream
#

@paper schooner I totally agree. And now that I design, build, and write about projects Fridays have no special meaning.

Purple PyPortal is so good looking

odd stream
#

The PyPortal is a kliller piece of hardware. All that might be missing is some I/O brought out to a header.

#

But it's easy enough to hook up a 23017 to add digital I/O

#

@hard hollow FWIW I just did some printing with translucent filament (for lighting effects). Cool stuff.

I'm definitely going to have to put together some CircuitScheme support for PyPortal.

haughty quiver
#

@odd stream I haven't tried it yet, but there are a couple pins of IO brought out to the 3 conductor JST connectors on PyPortal.

odd stream
#

@haughty quiver Yes, 2 digital/analog connections.

pearl shoal
#

Hey @odd stream I had that thought about the 23017 too... but the truth is the SeeSaw breakout board will be more effective & adds analog!

#

And I think the 12c connection can be converted to two digital (maybe analog too) pins (not sure)

#

Looking forward to "the best 1/2 hour of the week" 😃

#

Yikes - everyone got quiet!

@pearl shoal That's true.. had totally forgot about the seesaw. My experience with the 23017 goes way back in comparison.
