@haughty quiver There you go JP, board design idea to expand the Feather line capability's. Instead of just having the doubler, trippler or quadrupler Feather boards. Have a single expand board that would plug in horizontally with other ones, allowing a maker to connect 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6or more together that they could then plug in a verity of Feather boards onto each slot. or have a connector that would allow a maker to link a doubler with a tripler for instance.

@haughty quiver Ok, There you go JP, what do you think?
haughty quiver
I see, so double rows of all the header pins on the outer edges so an IDC cable or similar can interconnect them?
ivory kiln
No there would be right angle male & female headers (say male on the right & female on the left) so they could be joined. Plugged end to end allowing for 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 etc, Feathers to be connected at once.
@haughty quiver Customizability, one of my personal favorite things about being a maker. 🙂 There is also an option of making a single board version as well, but with that same quantity customizability of connecting them side by side to create the length board they want to join what ever quantity of Feather's that a Maker wants for anyone particular project; & then pull them apart & use a different quantity for the next project.
haughty quiver
I see, very cool
ivory kiln
As well as of course also having the option of connecting them via IDC cable incase they need to have one group of Feather's in one location of their project & another group in another area.
Do you think that this design might be something that Limor & Phil might be interested in?
haughty quiver
Best bet is to build a prototype and bring it on Show & Tell
ivory kiln
there being the rub, I don't have the parts, nor cash to get the parts. 😕

You could build a PCB like that in Eagle or Kicad as a start.

Actually, I do have an unrelated question for the two of you - @hard hollow & @rocky reef, do you still use that blackmagic 4k camera? I'm looking at it as a possible addition to my setup.
How do you feel about it after using for this time? Anything you'd do differently with it, knowing what you know now?
rocky reef
@waxen thistle we still love it and use it on every project video
there are always firmware updates so it feels like it will be support for a while
can't think of anything i would do differently besides only needing the 12-35 lens
the only other lens we use is the canon 100mm lens for macro shoots
waxen thistle
I think that says everything, that you use it for every project video 🙂
waxen thistle
My current setup is a slightly aging Fuji X100T (with an even older Nikon D300 for photos, but prime glass is fine).
Since the BM 6k came out and dropped in price, it pushed the 4K model down even more. Which got me thinking it might be time for a refresh.
Any reason why the 7d beats out the BM 4k for timelapses?
rocky reef
oh wow i didn't realize the price dropped, it was already at a good price for the image quality you can get out of it
for timelapse i use a slower shutter speed that we can't do with the BM. plus they take a while so we can't have it tied up just doing timelapses
waxen thistle
that's good to know about the BM
Yeah, the 6k is down to $2k and the 4k is down to $1.3k currently
waxen thistle
Video is something I've avoided in the past -- mainly due to the learning curve, file size, and costs.
Well, awesome software like Resolve is cheap/free. Resources are plentiful for getting awesome results. And what would've been Hollywood quality a decade ago is off-the-shelf consumer today.
So I'm tiptoeing back into it
nova totem
What do you use to drive the timelapses? Internal camera control or is it hooked to something else?
waxen thistle
I think they made a homemade tabletop dolly as a project....let me see if I can find it
Anywho, thanks @rocky reef for letting me pick your brain 🙂 I sincerely appreciate it.

@nova totem we use the octoprint plugin octolapse and a magnet switch to trigger the camera when it moves the printhead away

i'd use chrome if you can @fallow fractal have your mic and webcam hooked up ahead of time. when you click on the link to get into streamyard you'll be prompted with a preview of your webcam and you can test your mic in your browser. then there's a button to join the broadcast. when you enter you're put in a "green room". you won't be seen live but pt & ladyada will see you're on and will call on you to join. they take care of making sure your camera is being streamed out, etc. you'll just need to unmute your mic and share
also chances are the broadcast will be full for a bit at the beginning- if that happens wait until someone is done and try to join right after. by around 7:30 it gets easier

@split gazelle COuld you make the note clickers smart so they could run on some sort of bus? (Less wires)
split gazelle
@fallow fractal i am using two multiplexers (mcp23017's) over I2C so the only pins actually being used on the itsybitsy are SCL, SDA, 3V, USB and GND but for the solenoids they still need to be wired up to the drivers
the breadboard is a little messy but once they're on protoboards it won't look as scary (i hope). i've also got LED's hooked up right now for troubleshooting

The oddball designs -- like the mount for the PS4 controller, are great ideas when we have our own non-standard, non-parallel surfaces to adapt to. So thank you 🙂 The problem solving you folks did will save someone a headache months or years down the road.

@next ridge if you have answers for folks, I can read them off
next ridge
catching up with the questions, 1 moment
rapid hornet
one we had was whether you could dma to gpio
and whether the wifi conflicts with adc
and lots of time of flight questions
next ridge
re. DMA: There is I2S peripheral which supports parallel input/output (unlike regular serial I2S). Can be used to drive displays and work with cameras.
we actually use I2S with cameras in ESP32, but now it is much more flexible (don't need to waste 32 bits per sample, can use 8 and 16 bit per sample)
ToF is in progress but unfortunately won't ship in IDF 4.2 as there are higher priority features on Wi-Fi side in progress... Will be part of IDF 4.3.
You can follow feature development progress in https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14532
Re. Wi-Fi conflicts and ADC: there is now a hardware arbiter which allows using ADC2 and Wi-Fi at the same time... Wi-Fi still has priority, so you may get lower sample rate. But the driver will automatically retry sampling if Wi-Fi grabs priority.
So, the situation is better than with ESP32. Still not completely independent ADC2, though.

Another example of "change is good." Although mildly frustrating, the Hangouts shutdown led us to an even better solution 🙂

@split gazelle It's bad when you seriously know examples where you can drive entirely down into a pothole and back out. Well, you hope you're able to drive out....
