with jetson nano you get some compute power for it so 3D models got scanned better say object detection so it focus on it

plus for jetson nano is that it have those pi gpio also

[waxen thistle]

If a normal picture is worth a 1,000 words, how much is a 3D picture worth?

[shell mason]

@waxen thistle now with mixed reality think the 3D model of the product you can show it in app and light up it in real life lts say its lamp

[haughty quiver]

[turbid sparrow]

You could still share pictures 😄

[open girder]

[waxen thistle]

Live, from Seattle....

[eternal schooner]

Is there a show-n-tell tonight?

[rapid hornet]

not sure where the button is

[muted mesa]

@waxen thistle i was literally saying the same in my head. 😄

[open girder]

as per twitter (other folks complaining) it's down for users, we are getting the same errors

[eternal schooner]

It's like the next level of maker charades...

[rapid hornet]

how do I start it?

[eternal schooner]

I'm thinking of a project...

[lavish patrol]

What are we doing?

[open girder]

@rapid hornet if it does not have a broadcast button then you cannot

[waxen thistle]

Scott might rebrand the show as "CircuitPython and Tell" 😛

[rapid hornet]

ah, just on the video page?

[open girder]

events page for the hangout creator

[smoky patrol]

where might I find the video page?

[open girder]

the vid page would not have it (that's for users)

[hard hollow]

@open girder we tried launching the hangout from youtube dashboard and errored out as well. no dice

[eternal schooner]

Oh nooooo....

[rapid hornet]

😦

[lethal lagoon]

Thanks for the shoutout @lavish patrol and @waxen thistle ! I’m at Joann’s but running back home for AAE

[smoky patrol]

Perhaps Ask an Engineer will be working?

[waxen thistle]

I actually have a question for you when you get back -- what make/model of mini fabric iron do you prefer? I see them in Hobby Lobby, but they look flimsy at best....

[rapid hornet]

@smoky patrol it should. it's done through a different system

[noble grove]

Is YouTube the only video platform? It seems to be there used to be other options...

[rapid hornet]

for show and tell yes

[smoky patrol]

Thanks. That is what I thought but was just checking

[noble grove]

What about AaE?

[rapid hornet]

AAE is done through wirecast and restream.io which goes out to a bunch of places

[soft idol]

So we get, what, 5 seconds each to demo?

[open girder]

for AAE we have facebook, twitch, youtube

[lavish patrol]

@noble grove Vimeo's still alive. Then there's Twitch...

[open girder]

today hangouts is down it seems for users who can broadcast

[rapid hornet]

we do have #show-and-tell for times like this

[waxen thistle]

@open girder @rapid hornet Thanks for trying. 😃

[open girder]

not a bad run, this is maybe the 2nd time in almost 10 years hangouts has been down

[lavish patrol]

I am disappoint.

[rapid hornet]

just means my demo will be better next time. 😃

[turbid sparrow]

Hangouts wont be a thing at some point, it might be worth investigating an alternative soon 😄

[rapid hornet]

yup, we just need more of a heads up

[waxen thistle]

Live demo gremlins

[rapid hornet]

I was hoping discord would do a public video chat like the audio

[waxen thistle]

@rapid hornet I think they're working on it, from what I've heard. But as to when, who knows...

[rapid hornet]

nice! that'd be epic

[open girder]

if hangouts does this again, we have tons of options folks, do not worry about that 😃

[eternal schooner]

Is there any way to broadcast it on Twitch?

[open girder]

@eternal schooner not in the same way as hangouts works, but we could make it work

[lavish patrol]

BRB. I'm off to watch Destin mix some paints.

[eternal schooner]

Andy, I just watched that... it's pretty awesome.

[rapid hornet]

as I said in youtube, now is a great time to upgrade your circuitpython projects to 4.0.1 😉

I've been thinking, my home automation project using Lora -- Instead of using a feather + buttons or small screens....just use a pybadge/pygamer + lora board

[echo canopy]

That would be super cool

Top secret time 😃

[lethal lagoon]

super cool AR!

[slow spire]

Exactly, @waxen thistle. The latest Py* boards with screens may replace some of my custom-built stuff.

[muted mesa]

ohh! nice AR.

[ripe blade]

how loud is the buzzer on the circuit playground?

[echo canopy]

NICEEEE

[acoustic kiln]

is Adafruit a scam? I just ordered $500 worth of stuff from there , couple Arduino boards and stuff

[waxen thistle]

These "all-in-one" multifunction boards (from CPX onwards) just save SO MUCH TIME. Very little if any breadboarding, soldering, etc. Just plug and play.

[open girder]

no, adafruit is not a scam 😃

we are literally doing a live video from our company 😃

[tender pecan]

lol

[lavish patrol]

Halloween soon? I must have slept in...

[slow spire]

@acoustic kiln https://www.youtube.com/adafruit/live

[waxen thistle]

Suggestion for PyGamer2 -- inclusion of X+Y buttons with the A+B buttons

[viral sail]

Full VGA

[muted mesa]

i'll vouch! 7+ years as a customer. very happy customer at that (their customer support culture is amazing)

[waxen thistle]

Likewise, been buying stuff since (looking it up)....November 2012.

Man, it's been a great 7 years.

[muted mesa]

yeah..i think its "7+". could be plus-er-minus

[shell mason]

that 32bit one from last week had big screen so it could be nice for Pi-Gamer

[slow spire]

[checks history] Almost 6 years ordering from Adafruit here.

[waxen thistle]

@shell mason The 32blit is a Pimoroni product, and there is strong desire to port CircuitPython to it 😃

[slender jay]

Any chance on Adafruit carrying an ISD 1820 voice module?

[tender pecan]

Im new to ordering on adafruit but I've bought a lot.

[echo canopy]

Cool thanks for the answer guys 👍🏻

[waxen thistle]

@muted mesa I second that, regarding the support and culture. In the day and age where everyone is cutting corners, racing to the bottom -- too few like Adafruit are going the extra mile with quality. Plus, puppet shows. PUPPET SHOWS!!!! 😃 😃 😃

[shell mason]

ARCore for android

[echo canopy]

Yes I have .. I got one at Microcenter since Adafruit has an agreement to carry your products

@open girder Thanks again for another evening of awesome shows! Even if one had live-demo gremlins!

[echo canopy]

Another great show guys!! Thanks for all you do !!!

[shell mason]

for apps unity3D have AR foundation now so it could be cool way to show

[lethal lagoon]

[sage aspen]

Goodnight everyone

Goodnight all!

[dim knot]

See ya all next week!

[waxen thistle]

Thanks for the links @dim knot !

[tender pecan]

these shows are addicting

[slow spire]

So. Addicting.

I was sorta mad PyGamer didn't sell out faster, because I was so tempted. (Just got PyPortal AND PyBadge.)

[tender pecan]

I bought the Pygamer but I'm still waiting on the Pybadge. I got the portal with the Adabox subscription

[slow spire]

Thanks, @dim knot !

[acoustic kiln]

Hopefully the stuff I ordered comes before my final project is due

I knew I should've not waited till the last minute to order my stuff 😂

[prime sentinel]

I made a similar mistake when I ordered some rare chips along with the ones I needed quickly. It's been two weeks and it hasn't shipped because the rare chips aren't in yet.

[acoustic kiln]

rip :/ , hopefully the things I ordered come by next week. My final project for this engineering class is due in 2 weeks

[muted mesa]

what's your location, and which shipping did you choose?

[acoustic kiln]

I'm in Virginia

I did UPS

[muted mesa]

you should be good. my last order was on the 17th (night), processed on Saturday, shipped UPS, and should be here tomorrow. oh, and here is FL.

[acoustic kiln]

ah good

was planning to use amazon, but would be a hassle to order the whole kit through amazon.

[prime sentinel]

When I need AdaFruit stuff in a hurry, I order it from DigiKey

[acoustic kiln]

ah

[opal wing]

up and down the I95 corridor usps rules. So many hubs.

[acoustic kiln]

First time using AdaFruit , so 🤷

[prime sentinel]

Although it looks like DigiKey is out of stock of the PiGRRL kit at the moment. 😕

[muted mesa]

that shipping department... 🤤. loved when blessed us with streams from their facility.

[acoustic kiln]

anyways, thank you guys for answering my questions. I will go back to studying for my Calc exam. I'm surprised you guys had a discord 😂

[muted mesa]

oh..and missed this some how. welcome to the community @acoustic kiln!

[haughty quiver]

hi there!

[lavish patrol]

Evening Mr. @haughty quiver

[young adder]

we have music !

[inner spade]

bleeps and bloops

[eager sapphire]

Getting blippified tunes here

[haughty quiver]

excellent

[lavish patrol]

Blippification is go.

[waxen thistle]

Bleeps bloops and moogs are live

[inner spade]

Very good music levels:

[lavish patrol]

Bleepety Bloopety Moog.

[dense marlin]

hi

[young adder]

talking about music : using adafruit wonderful products, how could I play sounds (bleeps, weeps, clicks) on cue, along with some background music (8-bit loop music) ?

Those heat shrink tubes are hot.

[odd stream]

Not too hot! Otherwise they'll be smokin'

[lavish patrol]

Are they shrink wrapped?

[inner spade]

The color heat-shrink tubing is nice, too.

[young adder]

smokin' hot heat shrink tube ?

that ain't good ^^

[lavish patrol]

I saw red when I got my colored tubing...

[hard hollow]

@pine marten that is so cool, keyboard graphic is a nice touch!!

[inner spade]

brilliant!

[cinder wind]

very clever!

[lavish patrol]

This is the key to how to do this stuff...

[waxen thistle]

This project struck a chord with me.

Really resonated.

[lavish patrol]

I'll take notes.

[inner spade]

I'll need a rest.

[waxen thistle]

I-IV-V-I sequence

[odd stream]

@inner spade Yes, I picked up a pack of 5 colours in various sizes quite a while ago.

[lavish patrol]

I think John's upsetting the local dogs.

Good old dithering.

[waxen thistle]

Dithering is just a glissando for images.

[young adder]

Which microcontroller can be used with MakeCode Arcade ?

[lavish patrol]

Whu am I thinking Frogger?

great stream @pine marten !

[haughty quiver]

Grazie @dense marlin

Danke shoen @hard hollow

[odd stream]

I'm loving the pygamer stuff. Mine arrived today. I'll be looking at using circuitpython, though.

[young adder]

is there a feather wing that can play music kind of like the pygamer does ?

[haughty quiver]

terrific @odd stream can't wait to see what you make with it!

[dense marlin]

schön 😉

[haughty quiver]

haha thanks :)

Danke shön

[dense marlin]

gerne

[inner spade]

There's always the Wayne Newton pronunciation.

[haughty quiver]

@young adder that's an excellent question -- I don't know if you can get the Feather M4 sound stuff working in MakeCode Arcade yet. But you'd need an amplifier added on to hear it.

Maybe w the Prop-Maker FeatherWing.

[young adder]

I'll have a look at that. I want to build some game stuff that will use a giant screen make of NeoPixels, but that game will need music !

and sounds.

[shell mason]

is it plugged into Feather headers or JST/STEMMA?

[lavish patrol]

Sorry I' late. Here's my note: 🎵

[haughty quiver]

Rad, thanks!

[waxen thistle]

I'll augment that note 🎶

[haughty quiver]

It would be so cool to import sprite sheets for scrolling through animated Marios and whatnot

Sharp of you @waxen thistle

[twin flower]

Ooh nice!

[haughty quiver]

That filament is so nice and shiny and sparkly!

[lavish patrol]

I'm feeling flat.

[twin flower]

Yeah @haughty quiver Thought it was acrylic for minute

[haughty quiver]

crazy right?!

[waxen thistle]

Doing awesome projects does anything but diminish things!

@hard hollow @rocky reef lost audio

[twin flower]

Yeah! That's pretty smooth

[waxen thistle]

Audio is back

[did that happen for anyone else?]

[haughty quiver]

yes

[lavish patrol]

Yep. Me too.

[twin flower]

Yup

[shell mason]

[waxen thistle]

Ok, just making sure it wasn't me. Didn't know if their vamp was just a sustained rest.

@hard hollow @calm nebula lost audio again

oops

[haughty quiver]

I always take the Arduboy or Arduboy Tetris w me when I travel.

[twin flower]

It'd be cool if you used an old psp thumbstick

[lavish patrol]

It wouldn't be 3D hangouts without audio gremlins... 😉

welcome back!

[lavish patrol]

We can hear you now.

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/vR3t.gif so @haughty quiver wanted cake

[haughty quiver]

hah, I recommend studying space-work, improv, physical comedy, and mime before becoming a livestreamer

[rocky reef]

yay

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver No joke, I've heard similar things from others. Well, not the mime part, but totally doing improv and standup.

[haughty quiver]

I currently have no translucent 2.85mm filament and now I really want some for these excellent PyGamer cases.

[waxen thistle]

That's a rather transparent problem.

[twin flower]

XD

[lavish patrol]

It's clearly an issue...

[twin flower]

Hides from puns

[haughty quiver]

Ruiz Bros. snap fit game is TIGHT

What brand filament is that clear?

[waxen thistle]

Seriously, that has the fit and finish of a legit professionally made product. Not to lessen the work you do, it's seriously legit.

But you're two makers with a 3D printer making things better than most mass market setups.

@hard hollow @rocky reef lost audio again

[lavish patrol]

Lost audio again.

[waxen thistle]

Back!

[lavish patrol]

@hard hollow and @calm nebula you need a sound solution.

[strange mantle]

like viewmaster, but film

[slow spire]

Kodak disc film, out of it's cartridge.

[waxen thistle]

The sound effects from that remind me of Commander Keen.

[slow spire]

Sounds casino-like to me.

[ornate coyote]

That looks awesome @haughty quiver !

[turbid sparrow]

Looks like some sort of arc reactor 😄

[pearl shoal]

It was truly horrible film - very high noise due to the tiny image size

[haughty quiver]

Thanks @ornate coyote

⏱ 🎮 Take note! @haughty quiver's MakeCode Arcade Minute was 2min20sec of I-IV-V-I arpeggios. Easy to do -- never diminished, and it'll help augment your coding experience! Stay sharp folks! 🎮 ⏱

It's very approachable, isn't it?

[pearl shoal]

Question for later: Now is the Sparkfun SAMD51 different from the M4 Feather Express?

[viral sail]

That's wicked cool.

[slow spire]

The Sparkfun model isn't an Express – sans QSPI flash that's on the M4 Express.

[sage aspen]

@pearl shoal at a glance I can tell it has a Qwiic connector on it.

[waxen thistle]

You can have your cake and eat it too! Just don't eat your actual CPX.

[slow spire]

It's pronounced Jwiic.

[sage aspen]

Yeah, just fixed it. 😃

[lethal lagoon]

Ahh thanks @pearl shoal and @waxen thistle I’m so glad someone is actually reading it hehe 😊

[slow spire]

And Adafruit sells Qwiic cables, now.

[slow spire]

I've been dragging Arduino UF2 files on/off the Feather M0 Express for a while now. But yeah.

[open girder]

@pearl shoal we could use some helping encouraging arduino to add this

[pearl shoal]

I (now) LOVE CP, but there are times when it's not fast enough, a device isn't supported, or there's just existing code to do something in Arduino. This lets me send someone a device and the end user can edit a config file & restart.

They don't have to install the IDE, board manager, etc. etc.

[slow spire]

Yep yep

[waxen thistle]

100% @pearl shoal

[pearl shoal]

And if I need to send an update, I can send a UF2 file and some reasonable instructions

I will make them a friendly video about this tomorrow when I'm back on brand & my setup works 😃

[open girder]

@pearl shoal (please do!)

that will help

[turbid sparrow]

This might be really cool for like the Arduboy

[slow spire]

Pro tip: Zip your UF2s and they get really small.

(At least the Arduino UF2s.)

[pearl shoal]

Pro-AT tip, @slow spire - Don't 😃 Our users don't even need the step of "open the compressed folder and click extract"... seriously... very often the person doing this work is 100% non technical caregiver (or para-professional who's trying to help)

[slow spire]

Yeah, I thought about that. It is an extra step.

[turbid sparrow]

Super cool! nice job

I'm dealing with executives, so I should probably rethink my tip. 😄

@pearl shoal check the arduino developer list too, we asked about uf2 support (and this disk access) wi think if we can show how/why this is good for users they'll consider adding it

Question about pyPortal ... it has an example to play a coin tone ... can you explain how to create your own tone ? Is there a free “editor” ?

[slow spire]

My least favorite connector is USB Mini B.

Especially when I get a newish board that uses it. I'm like, why?!

[tender pecan]

i agree

[waxen thistle]

I have a set of wireless headphones that use it. Same for WiiU Pro controller and PS3 controller. Those are the ONLY devices that need it.

Then I have a single device that uses USB-C, and several Lightning. And everything else Micro USB.

So frustrating needing three different sets of cables.

[slow spire]

It's Quadraphonic!

[waxen thistle]

Ok, these are wicked awesome.

[haughty quiver]

Haha, I kinda like Mini-B USB, just because it's a bit more robust than Micro-B and harder to jam it in backwards.

@echo canopy we use .wav files and this guide will give you some details on making or converting your own: https://learn.adafruit.com/microcontroller-compatible-audio-file-conversion/check-your-files

[slow spire]

I'm hitting refresh every hour on that page.

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver I'll agree with that -- and for "cheaper" devices, they don't surface mount solder Mini USB, but they'll do a lousy job surface mount soldering Micro usb. I've had them snap off more than once upon first use.

[echo canopy]

Awesome thanks John!!!!

@echo canopy I also like getting files from freesound.org

Adafruit AirLift FeatherWing – ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor https://www.adafruit.com/product/4264

[strong acorn]

🎈 Q: On the new Airlift FeatherWing, are the pins labeled A0, A1, A2, and A3 actually connected to the ESP32 (if so, which pins)?

[haughty quiver]

some may require conversion to mono, 16-bit, 22Khz.

[slow spire]

Question: @open girder
Will the AirLifts support BLE at some point?

You can plug and play whatever you like! *

*But be sure to read the product guides so you can resolve pin conflicts. 😃

[echo canopy]

@haughty quivers I might have explained it wrong .. this is for the Ardunio sketch on the PyPortal .. playing a coin.h when you press the button

[haughty quiver]

No worries

But I’ll use that link for other file convention .. thanks!!

Questions!!!

[echo canopy]

Is there Top secret ? Or did I miss ?

[open girder]

[phone]

[slow spire]

There was. It was a 2.13" eInk bonnet for Pi.

[waxen thistle]

👊

[echo canopy]

Ohh ohhh thanks

[slow spire]

The nice thing about this upcoming eInk bonnet is that it's higher resolution than commonly available eInk bonnets.

[haughty quiver]

@echo canopy we've got a tool somewhere on GitHub to create the .h headerfile from audio, lemme see if I can find it.

[echo canopy]

Ohhh that’s would be super super super cool

[slow spire]

Congrats, @sacred isle !

John need that PiCake

[haughty quiver]

I haven't used it before, but I think it's probably one that Paul Stoffregen created for Teensy: https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Audio/tree/master/extras/wav2sketch

[slow spire]

That's nice. I wish it were Python rather than .C or .EXE, but who am I to complain.

You are sneaky, I was so confused yesterday when you had this segment: https://youtu.be/EIHTz0hifjk?t=1764

when I saw the exact same segment 2 days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bWba0PU4-g&feature=youtu.be

until I realised that it was just a video in between and not time travel 😐

[paper schooner]

Great shows yesterday! So many cool things. Loved the game with Digi-key

I love Wednesdays now 😃

[waxen thistle]

Good afternoon all you wonderful people!

nice verter demo @haughty quiver we used it on our dice roller project

[waxen thistle]

When you don't want to gamble on power....

[young adder]

Not practical to power NeoPixel strip though ^^

[inner spade]

Don't see the prerequisite diode for reverse protection.

[young adder]

It is probably a terrible idea but we'd rather see you doing it than us !

[hard hollow]

spec sheet says it have over voltage protection but not reverse polarity 😃

[lavish patrol]

What about the lemon?

[young adder]

just use a big lemon !!

many lemons in series ?

[lavish patrol]

@young adder John blows up his Verter so you don't have to. 😉

[young adder]

@lavish patrol exactly !

[waxen thistle]

When life hands you lemons, grab your verter and power a CPX. Then make lemonade.

nice @pine marten can you swtich back to block editor when u edit the ascii?

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

[inner spade]

Just confirmed via the schematic and boost chip datasheet. NOT reverse-voltage protected.

[hard hollow]

yay

[waxen thistle]

The paddle is called a "Vaus", and in the original Arkanoid, the enemy causing all this trouble is named "Doh".

[odd stream]

I remember doing a homebrew breakout game from scratch on the NDS in C++.

[waxen thistle]

NDS...nintendo DS?

[odd stream]

Yes

[waxen thistle]

.....just learned you could make games in C++ for the DS. Today has been an awesome day, just learned something totally new 😃

[odd stream]

It handled hitting with the corner of the paddle, as well as velocity transfer from the paddle to the ball.

Yeah, you need some homebrewing hardware (at least when I was playing with it)

[waxen thistle]

R4 card? Or something more specific?

[odd stream]

I was using an R4 I believe

https://bitbucket.org/dastels/breakout/src/master/

[lavish patrol]

Bleeps and bloops.

[hard hollow]

nice and square

[waxen thistle]

Hip to be square.

[lavish patrol]

[waxen thistle]

I wonder if we can find an original Arkanoid arcade trackball

I stand corrected, it looks like a rotary encoder!

That should be easy to implement

[young adder]

Too bad those coupon codes are not usable on DigiKey 😕

[waxen thistle]

I think it was a game like Centipede that had the trackball

[young adder]

ordering from Adafruit costs me more in shipping than the products themselves !

[hard hollow]

rotary encoders are in stock 😃

[waxen thistle]

@haughty quiver Thanks for another awesome show!

[odd stream]

Centipede had a trackball.

[lavish patrol]

Another great show, @haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]

thanks much!

[inner spade]

Thanks!

[hard hollow]

good show! @haughty quiver

[young adder]

thanks @haughty quiver !

[haughty quiver]

Oooh, I love that.

[odd stream]

Seems overkill for breakout since your movement is 2d... but the interia might make it harder,different.

[lavish patrol]

I can see the screen burn-in from here.

[signal latch]

thanks!

[haughty quiver]

I really want a nice, smooth, weighted rotary encoder knob like that!

[waxen thistle]

looks on ebay for legit arkanoid hardware

[inner spade]

The control looks like a slotted quadrature interrupter:

[odd stream]

I remember Tempest had a weithted rotary encoder. That was one of my favourite games.

[haughty quiver]

Yes, same here @odd stream !

[waxen thistle]

Here's a sold listing -- gives you an idea of what to expect...

[haughty quiver]

@odd stream there's a nicely maintained one at the local arcade Neon Retro in Pasadena. http://neonretroarcade.com/

[eager sapphire]

Would be fun to machine a weighted rotary encoder - really heavy

[waxen thistle]

Never played Tempest, but wow....that looks so much fun. A real throwback.

https://stopxwhispering.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/game-masters-arcade-tempest.jpg?w=742

[odd stream]

It's a neat game. The control is crutial: heavy rotary encoder with tons of intertia. Great for those panic moments when you can give it a good spin and spam the fire button.

great stream John

[waxen thistle]

@odd stream I got an error when accessing the bitbucket link you gave earlier....I'm not very familiar with bitbucket, but my guess is permissions? My username there is mrcertainly

[odd stream]

@waxen thistle Doah.. it was private. Try again.

[waxen thistle]

Still the same. I'll give it a minute.

Woo hoo, got it! thanks @odd stream !

I have an ancient R4 card and a DS lite that still surprisingly holds a charge. I'll have to give it a go.....I really loved the DS lite handheld, such a great little system.

[haughty quiver]

@waxen thistle I've started converting some DS lites to Game Boy Macros, it's very fun and satisfying with a great result -- a dedicated Game Boy Advance with a big backlit screen for a $15 used lite and a 330 ohm resistor!
