Folks, watch out for those little lipo batteries - ones not sold by adafruit - can have reversed polarity. I learned that when one I got from amazon and it let the smoke out when I plugged into my pygamer.

waxen thistle
To mirror and expand what @fallen siren said about batteries -- sources of power aren't something to be trifled with. Cheap lipo or 18650 batteries can have "really bad results". Buy from trusted, reputable sellers. And even then, use best practices and be safe 🙂 🔋

I would like to add a microphone to my Pygamer. Does adafruit sell one that can be plugged into one of the stemma? connectors
haughty quiver
I think this https://www.adafruit.com/product/4346 but you'll need a STEMMA QT to STEMMA connector, which I don't recall if we're selling yet
for now you could combine these two: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4397
fallen siren
@haughty quiver TY I want to do the EdgeBadge TensorFlow 'stuff'. I think the Pygamer and the EdgeBadge are basically the same apart from Pygamer not having a microphone.
haughty quiver
Ah, yes very cool.
fallen siren
@waxen thistle Agreed. I bought from amazon because adafruit's UK vendors were/are not selling the adafruit ones - marked 'PK' one 'gotcha' is that even though they have keyed connectors, the manufacturers (in this case marked 'PL') chose to assemble with reversed polarity.
waxen thistle
I hear ya, beware third parties. Beware Amazon specifically. Even "Shipped by Amazon from Amazon" products might get pulled from third-party stock due to the inventory-sharing agreements Amazon has with resellers.
So even if you spend more for a seemingly "genuine" product direct from Amazon, you could easily get a third-party counterfeit/non-genuine/reversed polarity item.
This happened with me with the Art of Electronics book. It wasn't until I showed Amazon AoE's counterfeit page when they refunded my money. Which I turned around and promptly spent at Adafruit as they're a trusted reseller.
As Han Solo once quipped: "No reward is worth this."
fallen siren
I have to admit, I don't think I've ever even heard of counterfeit books. AoE you say? I have a copy of 2nd Ed I bought 28 yrs ago. People hold it up as the definitive text but I found it too... dense. I seem to recall that it was originally the text for a single term course in Electronics - I can't see how you could ever get through it in 10 or 12 weeks, even if you studied 24/7.
waxen thistle
Counterfeit books are absolutely a thing, sadly. Especially with higher value books, such as those used for college texts. It's something where you have to be really careful about where you source the products you buy. Another feather for Adafruit, no pun intended 📚
[But nothing beats borrowing books from your local public library.]

@muted mesa The important things 😄

@clear matrix What do you think of the phone clip? I'm starting to research them, might have a need for one soon.

@waxen thistle I did destroy a Manfroto tripod once. If you need to do that, shoot in salt water for a day and forget to rinse it out....
waxen thistle
@analog acorn I was reading the first part of your comment, how did you manage to do that? But then....salt water would happily do that.
clear matrix
@waxen thistle It's a 2-part 3D printed clip that uses a hair elastic to hold the phone between the parts. It works pretty well, but it's specifically designed to fit in a Gorilla Pod ball head clip.
waxen thistle
My only complaint is my tripod is big, bulky, and tough. A bit of a pain to haul around. Can't have everything 😉

@waxen thistle I got a link from @haughty quiver the other day for one he's using that's super cheap and he really likes it though. I can send you the link if you'd like.

Oh and count me as one vote for the blue fruit Playground Android version. I'm sure it's far from a trivial port, but I am jealous of those features, and there are no functional Apple devices here except for a dual processor power Mac g4 and a few of its ancestors 😉
Is there an AdaBox-specific channel on discord that I'm not seeing? Would be kind of neat
waxen thistle
I know this might not solve the android problem, but here's an alternative.
Currently, BestBuy is having a special on an iPhone SE (mostly same specs as iPhone 6s in the iPhone 5 chassis), tied to SimpleMobile wireless carrier. Total price, $60.
But you have no obligation to activate the cellular aspect of the device -- giving you effectively an iPod Touch on the cheap. Relatively low cost entrance into the iOS ecosystem.

Well that didn't last long. My daughter walked by, saw the CPB and the app, and immediately had me install the app so she could steal the CPB. All gone now. I didn't tell her I have two other ones. 🙂
waxen thistle
@analog acorn what a lovely problem to have.
analog acorn
She seems unduly happy with it. I don't mind one bit.
drifting wyvern
Lol. I was just thinking, it's nice to have the cpb because I had gotten a cpx with the eventual goal of sharing with the kiddo. Well, long story short, make code happened and now it's definitely hers.
waxen thistle
More than once I scoured my adafruit wishlist to bump me over the $300 "free CPX" threshold, just so I'd have one to give to friend's/coworker's kid.
The CPX makes it criminally easy to get started in electronics & coding.
And I shrug and think -- I was going to get that stuff anyways, so everyone wins.
drifting wyvern
Hmm. The (Android) app isn't working on my Galaxy s8 - can't connect. Wonder if it's a battery thing.
And the index in the bootloader points to product 4300, go figure
drifting wyvern
Oh, guess I can't use Bluetooth classic and le at the same time on my phone. Weird
Ok, that was reasonable successful: got circuit python and ble working with the neopixels, and the cyborg eye on the tft, but not tft and ble at the same time. Since this has to last 3 months, that works for me. Good night all!

@waxen thistle Re: Adafruit CPX. I have no less than five, in the original wrappers, that I carry around to "electronics/programming/STEM events" where there are likely to be kids who would love to get started. I just give them away like candy. @rapid hornet got me into the habit.

"My christmas tree hardfaulted" is such a 2019 mood.

@clear matrix That's a sentence you'd probably never consider saying 10 years ago --- "my christmas tree hardfaulted."

We had to JLink the tree. 😄 Still haven't solved it - it was specific to the nRF5840, so it's currently running off of a SAMD51 and isn't crashing anymore. No bluetooth control at the moment.

Imagine someone at Jlink seeing this -- "oh wow, our tool is being used....to troubleshoot a tree?"

Do you use a larger nozzle when printing filament with glitter in it?

I think it's awesome that you guys include the Fusion 360 files. It makes it very easy to remix like with the legs on the camera slider I made.

Point of thought for the Star Trek communicator. You could give it more capacities, by doing a list of preset numbers that could be selectable by turning the dials.
