@lavish patrol Cool!

#

Great show guys!!! ❤️

#

Yay!!!!!

dawn orbit
#

I ordered the PyBoard AdaBox tonight. I can't wait to get my hands on this thing.

echo canopy
#

It’s amazing TimGT

#

I’ve done a few examples with python .. but I’m much more confident with Arduino 🤷🏻‍♂️

dawn orbit
#

I'm excited to see what I can do with it. Been doing a lot more with CircuitPython as of late

haughty quiver
#

Excellent!

echo canopy
#

And the Adafruit IO+ card !!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

haughty quiver
#

It's so iridescent!

dawn orbit
#

Yea I forgot about the IO+ card.

#

Bonus!

lavish patrol
#

Well, it's way past my bedtime, so I'll bid you all adieu. 💤

#

John, watching the video now, thanks so much!

dawn orbit
#

Adieu Andy!

haughty quiver
#

Right on @latent coyote enjoy!

#

Nite @lavish patrol

echo canopy
#

Goodnight everybody.!! And great work to everyone at the Adafruit Team!

heavy siren
#

Ok, at Adafruit.com, under Products, where is the PyPortal at? I always use that menu as my jump-off...

#

Ah, IOT got it...

echo canopy
#

Ohh okay!

heavy siren
#

Out-Of-Stock, bummer, oh well...

echo canopy
#

The AdaBox011 has it as a kit .. in stock

#

Product 4061

heavy siren
#

I'm trying to figure out if there is an accel on the pyportal or not.

#

I have the box. want more pyportals. have lots of project ideas.

echo canopy
#

Alright ... cool cool well I’m about out of battery .. so I’m signing off .. GN!

haughty quiver
#

Nite!

heavy siren
#

GN

#

Yeah, the M4 has everything including the kitchen sink but no accel.

harsh pebble
#

Joined the live broadcast late, almost at the very end. Just going back over video posted earlier in the chat. I like Ladyada's comment about the next box being even better. Adafruit packs a lot of goodness into each ~$60 box! There are so many awesome new products to choose from. And also thanks for letting us non-subscribers in on the AdaBox fun, Adafruit.

odd stream
#

@heavy siren Video accel?

haughty quiver
#

Ah, I think @heavy siren was wondering about accelerometer @odd stream No, there is not one built into the PyPortal.

heavy siren
#

@haughty quiver Right John, I want to use an accelerometer to measure g-forces.

haughty quiver
heavy siren
#

I want to put a PyPortal on my dashboard, rev the engine to 4000 rpm, then pop the cutch when the light goes green.. 😃

haughty quiver
#

Heck yes.

#

Set sensitivity level to +-16g mode :0

heavy siren
#

Yup, was looking at that one today as a matter of fact.

#

Actually, I'm looking to use it in the 2-4g range. It takesa a top fuel dragster to achieve 5 g's of force on the driver.

#

But if I can pull 2+ g's, I'd think I'd be happy.

#

Just something different.

odd stream
#

@heavy siren Ah.. -erometer, not -erator

heavy siren
#

@odd stream Well, the -erator will trigger the -erometer to measure and record, remember, the g-forces for a quarter of a mile with peddle to the metal power shifting ... 😃

#

I think the display with touch is perfect for a dashboard device.

odd stream
#

@heavy siren With a screen, being mobile (i.e. in motion) isn't as relevant I guess. There's I2C so you can always add one.

#

Oh... true enough.

heavy siren
#

Exactly,,,

#

And cars come with USB power these days.

odd stream
#

An I2C based expansion board is an idea...

#

Just generally

#

an accell, a seesaw and/or 23017

#

Make it with matching mounting holes.

heavy siren
#

There're lots of I2C Accel boards. It's the range that needs to be considered.

#

+-2g or maybe 4. dunno...

#

Mr. Park suggested this. ADXL343 - Triple-Axis Accelerometer (+-2g/4g/8g/16g) w/ I2C/SPI, which looks like a perfect fit...

#

It has interrupt lines and lots of software support.

#

I like interrupts.

odd stream
#

As opposed to interuptions.

Head's up @haughty quiver - the title of the mini ASK matches your show 😕

Yo @haughty quiver

#

Flappy Pixel 😃

pearl shoal
#

STEMMA = I2C on standard jacks, right?

odd stream
#

If you put a color sensor over each button on the neotrellis you could program it to play flappybird on itself.

inner spade
#

@pearl shoal yes. Stemma can be either 3.3v or 5v so beware.

#

Trellis = 3.3v, Pyportal defaults to 5v but can be changed.

pearl shoal
#

Is there more standardization on it than that? Like do all of the STEMMA products use common I2C registers/libraries?

#

Or can it just be any i2c?

inner spade
#

STEMMA is just an electrical std.

inner spade
#

Just breaks out of the second while loop before the 30sec (or 5 min) is up.

pearl shoal
#

Pretty Please, @haughty quiver - walk folks through how to undo that mistake... when the PC can't write to the CIRCUIPY drive, it's awful hard to fix if you don't know how

#

Enabling writing to flash means that the PC can't write to the CIRCUITPY drive. IF you don't give some mechanism to get back into that, you can be screwed.

#

Opening the REPL and wiping the filesystem is the only fix I know of

#

Yes, @paper peak sent me the instructions... just saying that they can't write from both is useful

#

Didn't mean to derail you

clear matrix
#

There is a mechanism in place to allow writing from both, it was necessary for some of the PyPortal image rendering, but it can cause issues so it has a long-and-danger-zone-sounding name. Enabling it can lead to filesystem corruption if you write from both at the same time. Using an SD card with your PyPortal eliminated the need for writing to both as the rendering can use the SD card while you write to the flash.

pearl shoal
#

Cool - John said he was writing to the Flash, and it triggered my "brick" fear 😃

waxen thistle
#

@haughty quiver Thanks for another awesome show!

pearl shoal
#

@clear matrix adding instructions to just remove boot.py from the REPL would be solve the issue

#

I only know how to completely wipe the filesystem

haughty quiver
#

thanks @clear matrix for the much better explanation.

@haughty quiver No problem 😄

Doggoneit, I missed some webcasts today. Didn't know about them. Does Adafruit make a "TV Guide" sort of document or webpage that shows when the shows will be broadcast. I realize there are the usual's, but these off-schedule shows are hard to catch. Just wondering....

This was a one off. Usually you'll have 3D printing stream on Wednesday morning , Show&Tell and Ask an Engineer Wednesday Evening, John Park's Workshop on Thursday. I think that's the whole regular schedule

@shy topaz do you mean the board holes or the standoffs?

the standoffs have M3 threads already

Tap the board holes and use a screw to hold on the wiring.

PCB's probably not thick enough for a good tap

the board is thin fiberglass; any threads you cut won't stand up very well

My local Kohl's uses electronic shelf labels for almost everything.

Soldering, that reminds me, I have a soldering marathon scheduled for this weekend. About 6 Feather boards to do with a trippler.

Safety first. Get some rest...

You are probably right @heavy siren

heavy siren

I'm a Techie Turned Trucker and in the Trucking industry, Safety always comes first. Seriously. Get some rest so you will do it right the first time.

And remember, soldering is a Knack, not everyone can do it correctly.

Yes, in reference to somebody having the Knack to do something, a good ability.

Maybe I'm missspelling it.

Nope, I got it right, an acquired or natural skill at performing a task

You mean, if you have the knack for soldering. It's a noun.

Sorry, grew up with a fifth grade school teacher and proper english was always required.

#

I was trying to find the German term for "core memory cores" the other day. The closest I managed was "Ferritkerne für Kernspeicher".

haughty quiver
#

@dense marlin that Brunswick kit should be a lot of fun!

dense marlin
#

@prime sentinel I don’t know what a „Ferritkern“ is?

#

Ah, „Ferritkernspeicher (englisch magnetic-core memory oder englisch ferrite-core memory)“ (german Wikipedia)

#

So „Kernspeicher“ is a synonym for „Ferritkernspeicher“ which translates as „core memory“.

#

That is what your translation means. That thy are synonym (for=für).

#

So I would translate it as „Ferritkernspeicher Kerne“ or „Kernspeicher Kerne“. But as I never heard this term before, hard to say, if this is correct.

#

In German you would make one word out of it „Kernspeicherkerne“ but this word google doesn’t know.

prime sentinel
#

Cool, thanks! After doing some basic experiments with an ordinary ferrite toroid core (not designed for use as a memory, so its characteristics aren't very good), I found someone selling cores of the correct type. They were made by KWH (Kombinat Veb Keramische Werke Hermsdorf) and I was hoping to find some information on them, but have had no luck searching in English.

dense marlin
#

A good soldering iron is very helpful.

dense marlin
#

@prime sentinel mysterious, I never heard of the town Hermsdorf, the copmpany "Kombinat Veb Keramische Werke", this product or the concept of a ferrite toroid core. …

prime sentinel
#

They were made about 60 years ago, it's hardly current technology.

dense marlin
#

Ah, I see.

prime sentinel
#

Amusingly, for an unrelated project I was sending probably sloppy machine-translated German to the folks at http://www.lectron.de/ in hopes of buying some of their excellent electronics teaching wares, but I suspect they won't ship to the United States.

dense marlin
#

This lectron company is not so far from were I work.

prime sentinel
dense marlin
#

Again, these are german works, but I don’t know what thy mean.

prime sentinel
#

They appear to be building-block versions of core memory modules, and an associated amplifier to detect the small signals created when they're accessed.

also EL wire is always kinda bendy

Pretty! Can you add an Ultraviolet emitter?

A soft lighting source. Will be handy.

Those emitters would light translucent PETG really well

Are the fiber optic cables in pre-cut 1 meter lengths?

Just wondering if you could install a shutter system above your YT "studio" that closes automatically when you "go to the overhead" and opens to let the light back in when not? Random moment. 😃

Why are the Metro M4 boards labeled "beta"? Is there a planned update to them?

But, it's a "'cause we can" kinda thing. Lol

Is getting an M4 feather with the ATSAMD51J20 possibly on the roadmap? Considering that chip is twice the storage/ram as what the m4 express is?

?? When using analog sensors do you take several reads then do an average? I see variability from read to read. any thoughts?

It's pretty awesome that a 30-year old console still works as expected.

I have a PS3 that's given up the ghost after only a few hours of play. I can't tell you how many Xbox360s I've seen with a red ring. And forget about the graveyard of iphones, ipads, and other consumer tech.

eager sapphire
#

Red ring?

#

Que?

lavish patrol
#

Yep. Today's throwaway society.

Red ring of death.

But a gameboy? Aside from a slightly scratched screen....still works just as great as the time I last picked it up 15 years ago.
