Hello, I'm currently part of a team that's designing a pronged pressure sensor that measures nerve activity. We were going to use the raspberry pi zero as the master board that controls all the mobile components(servos, battery, strain gauges) but we wanted to also include a touchscreen. As of right now, the touchscreen is using up all of the pins on the board. Is there a way that we could access pins on the board after installation of a screen? Are there additions that we could purchase? Do you know of another board that would be better equip to handle our project? Thanks any help would be much appreciated

I need a laser in my life

tight sinew
#

Yah will keep yall updated and probably will be back to bug you guys lol

sage aspen
#

@tight sinew I did a graphing calculator project using a pizero and pitft. I removed the connector from the pi TFT and manually soldered wires so I could use other pins. I had to reference the schematics though so I knew the minimum wires it needed.

lavish patrol
#

@waxen thistle And WD40.

tight sinew
#

Ohhh true thats cool, and was it easy to connect the soldered wires to the screen?

sage aspen
#

I just soldered the wires between the pitft and pi zero

#

I mean, no harder than soldering any other wires

tight sinew
#

ok cool, yah we'll totally try that! thanks

sage aspen
#

To remove the pitft connector, I pried the plastic part off and desoldered the pins individually.

lethal lagoon
#

@sage aspen ๐Ÿ‘

strange mantle
#

@tight sinew there's the 2.4" one, and some other sizes also, but in general, they each have a way to get access to the GPIO header, typically via a separate header

tight sinew
#

Ah gotcha, this is my first project like this ever, I'm still learning the basics, whats the GPIO header?

dim knot
#
tight sinew
#

is the 2.4 the smallest touchscreen to your knowledge?

sage aspen
#

The GPIO header is the 40 pin double row connector

strange mantle
#

the 2x20 row of pins - where you connect everything

tight sinew
#

Ohhh gotcha

strange mantle
#

GPIO = general purpose input output

strange mantle
#

@tight sinew in terms of the PiTFTs - yes, looks like 2.4" is the smallest one with touch, there are lots of sizes, hopefully i didn't miss one: 2.4", 2.8", 3.2", 3.5"
and there's a 2.2" without touch

Im upgrading a electric [12v or less DC] fake arm for a shoulder amputee.. I am new to adafruit.

Also, I'm thinking a geared motor with a lot of torque will have much more lifting capability than a servo.

@slow spire there are servos with tons of torque but of course they're $$$

super interested in e-ink but haven't played with it yet

dim knot
slow spire

How functional does it have to be? Is it a prototype?

They're basically geared motors with feedback anyways

sage aspen

Look into Metal Gear servos. Much less likely to strip.

bright epoch
#

shoulder movement needed to lift forearm to position..3lbs

sage aspen
#

Like @slow spire said, Servos may note be able to lift 3 pounds with just direct drive.

slow spire
#

Do you just need to demo it in 3 weeks? Can you iterate on that build afterwards?

sage aspen
#

At least not anything affordable

bright epoch
#

yes

#

it never been invented and can help shoulder amputee vets

sage aspen
#

Another idea to consider is air powered actuators

#

Especially if you need some speed

slow spire
#

Might look at something like spooling/unspooling a cable to do the lifting.

odd stream
#

@bright epoch what range of motion (in degrees) do you need, and how fast does is have to move? I'm thinking about those door lock motors in the store (90 degree movement and fairly slow... but strong)

bright epoch
#

I can build this kit that can be connected to chest harnest that can be used for other amputees

i thought a a wire wrap servo that works with pully

Hi, all! Great show again! Thanks.
Question, if it's not too late. Does the PyPortal use a self-signed TLS cert, and can you update it yourself?

#

And can it do TLS 1.3? Can you force it to use no less than 1.2?

sage aspen
#

I'm not sure about a certificate, but you should be able to update it yourself.

#

It uses ESP32 over SPI to connect to the internet.

Ja. I'm digging in there.

(Thinking more about this, the PyPortal is a client only, and isn't running a server (I hope), so as long as the root certs can be updated in the firmware (via the roots.pem, if I'm reading it right), no worries.)

A short treatise on why itโ€™s necessary to flash those pixels like that, to please the demon that is E-Ink, would be interesting

The offering to the eink gnome is minor, but if you do not appease them....they will make your project wrought with complications.

If it was a LCARS eink interface, you would need to reverse the polarity.
