In shield form factor

The rounded rectangle drawing can get a little wonky, but I substituted a function that used lines and arc or rects and arc depending in if you wanted it filled.
I've never seen one in shield form factor
slow spire
Fun story, @sage aspen , on how Steve Jobs had to convince Bill Atkinson that round rects were a thing that needed to happen.
sage aspen
Thanks for sharing that. It was a good story.
slow spire
Surely.
Seems like every new GUI gets a moment of rounded corners hotness.
I remember our designers wanting to do them on the web in 2008, and the awful HTML/JS hacks that ensued.
sage aspen
Heh, yeah. Drop shadows used to be difficult too.
slow spire
So the smart display I was trying to remember using was the Gameduino2.
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1654
sage aspen
Yeah, that looks like an interesting product.
slow spire
It was ambitious, worked well, a little pricey, and probably ahead of its time.
sage aspen
Similar to a PyPortal
sage aspen
Nice
slow spire
that FT800 graphics coprocessor, or something like it, might be worth a second look, given all the new CP badges/games/portals
sage aspen
Yeah, that could be interesting to integrate into a new board.
slow spire
It seems to mesh with the recent general Adafruit trend to offloading/delegating
I'm thinking M4 + airlift, and almost epaper + SRAM
sage aspen
Yeah, that could be fun.
slow spire
This appears to be their latest version of Gameduino 3X:

Been wanting to get CP and/or Arduino working on the nRF52840 dongle (PCA10059). Found this guide that uses a Pi instead of a JLink.

Hey all, does anyone know if there's a pinout for the mapping of this anywhere?
Or should it be the one I use for the guide @open girder & @proper trench want? ๐
Assuming it maps the same (and it looks like it might), this product might get much more popular
wanton dome
@pearl shoal I'm not aware of one, but I know a guy who makes awesome pinout diagrams ๐
slow spire
I thought about cobbling up a Feather adaptor for the similarly shaped ItsyBitsy M0/M4, @pearl shoal :
So, you could make your own with the FeatherWing Proto, and a Perma-Proto:
inner spade
@slow spire I designed something similar for the ItstBitsy M4. Needed a breadboard friendly version for testing. Not Feather compatible but close in size. https://github.com/CedarGroveStudios/ItsyBitsyBreadboardAdapter
odd stream
@slow spire Yeah, I hacked one together when I was waiting for the Feather M4 Express to come out, and the ItsyBitsy M4 was available.

If you are a beginner kind of advanced do you need an oscilloscope??

@maiden tangle It depends on what you want to work on. If you're doing mostly digital stuff, you may find a Saleae or other logic analyzers more useful. If you're doing more analog stuff a oscilloscope would be very useful. Either way there is plenty of learning to be had before you need either one

@rapid hornet That's cool. I know y'all are busy getting everything up and running in CP.

Cool; I'll check it out. Great tip on hacking 3rd party displays to use Adafruit driver board. My designers are always asking for uncommon sizes of stuff.
fallow fractal
I tried to run a full terminal on one of the big waveshare modules, it worked... until the constant refreshes from boot messages killed the display, so be careful of refresh rates
rapid hornet
@fallow fractal that's why I'm redoing the refresh model. now you must call refresh yourself
the only time it'll automatically refresh is once the code is finished
fallow fractal
@rapid hornet that's super smart
slow spire
Yeah, I know from my reading that after a certain amount of partial updates it's necessary to do the conventional full-screen update.

Hey @open girder & @proper trench I have a Question for the Ask part...
The joystick standard I am mimicing sends 12V and then wants the joystick to send back 6V +/- 1.2V back. That is it uses the "center 5th" of the voltage it sends. Is that so that it can handle voltage drop over the wires? It seems strange that it uses such a small band.

If you're not 100% comfortable working with mains power (wall power) -- you're best off using the above relay module or a PowerSwitchTail.
If you're comfortable with mains power, then a relay featherwing or similar product might work for you.
Mains power @ 110v (USA) or 220v (many other parts of the world) can easily cause serious injury or worse. Whereas 3.3v or 5v power can cause harm, it's much less likely -- as always, follow all appropriate safety practices.
