@fallow fractal was there any Learn Guide, product page, etc. that should be checked also? or just the repo?
fallow fractal
@strange mantle I looked at some schematics and was confused
ivory kiln
O @open girder , Limor I had seen in your maker to market vids where u talked about making a mess of your desk while working on a project & then getting the satisfaction of cleaning it afterwards. When your designing & making new products, do you get on a project & just stick to that until it's done, or do you work on it, set aside & put it away to work on it later like weeks or months or even years (like when the needed tech advances more) then pull that project out & work on it further?
strange mantle
@fallow fractal ok, we'll try and update the repo. thanks @rapid hornet ...not sure why i got credit 🙂
rapid hornet
I couldn't find a learn guide for it

can you show us the sound of the bowl with the stick? kinda want to see how it works
that's pretty cool!

@robust horizon Try hot glue and hold it in place until it hardens
waxen thistle
With hot glue, you can use canned air to chill it before it can melt or deform the 3d printed material.
sage aspen
I've not had much trouble with hotglue deforming printed parts
lavish patrol
@waxen thistle Yep. And turn the can upside down for uber cold.

For the scarf hanger, maybe put the magnets on the opposite side of the bracket so they won’t pull out.

My personal project recently was moving as many programs on my Mac from self-contained installers over to HomeBrew (macos package manager)-- I wrote a script to update homebrew, casks, and AppStore all via the CLI.
The number of applications that aren't directly updated via that script -- or by a third party manager like MS Office Updater -- I can count on one hand 🙂
split gazelle
that's intense @waxen thistle !
waxen thistle
@split gazelle I got so....tired of manually updating each application as I needed it.
I knew I had homebrew for a few things CircuitPython related a while back, but never really dived much into a MacOS package manager. Well....a few hours later, most of my machine is running from it.
split gazelle
sweet, that's awesome!
waxen thistle
Now I'm looking into the same thing for Windows -- via Chocolatey or Scoop. .....because why not name package managers after dessert words 😉
split gazelle
if it works for android it can work for package managers
waxen thistle
That's the nice part of iOS -- one stop shop app stores. Known good installers, instantly know if you need to update.
I'd imagine Android works the same way (haven't used it for a few years now).
Hmm. KitKats.

@slow flint I'd say it's a different tool than the CPX -- better or worse depends on your use case.

I think this current crisis is helping folks be more mindful, but you'd be surprised at how much physical waste there is...."just because".
The amount of corporate waste I've witnessed due to "it's cheaper to throw it out" makes me physically ill. I can only hope we're more ecologically mindful as time goes on.
lavish patrol
I have lots of stuff I rescued from the bin when we moved our office years ago.
I.e carbon filament light bulbs.
clear matrix
@waxen thistle The alternate side to that is creating products where it's not cheaper to throw it out. There needs to be give from multiple angles there, it seems. Like printers for example. When the ink is as much as a new printer...
waxen thistle
@clear matrix Absolutely! Or following the printer example, when there's sensors/artificial limits placed upon what you can print [max # sheets per cartridge or not allowed to print black if out of magenta].

As a general heads up: Be careful when picking up items intended for trash. Some localities have laws/regulations where anything put out is now property of the town, and you could run afoul if you rummage.
[I'm not saying they're ethically right with laws like that, but laws like that do exist.]
And always, be careful physically -- there may be chemical or biological contamination [i.e. bedbugs], other detritus, sharp objects, etc mixed in with items put out for the trash.
lavish patrol
Well, the things I, ah, liberated were not actually thrown away; they had been stored away as they were no longer used. They would have sat in the cupboard in perpetuity.
They'd still be there now. 🤔

I like the use of the pygamer's neopixel strip as a vu meter, neat
2000s because I remember them 🙂

My mother used to recalibrate me with a whack, as well. Worked most of the time.
robust horizon
ooh I should bring my pyruler project to a future S&T

Where did you source the velcro @cinder wind
robust horizon
"It's terrible velcro material" -- youtube automatic captions
gaunt plume
aaaah tear-able
tame geyser
when you consider the velcro designed to hold cable can be $5 a cable thats a realy good deal 🙂
robust horizon
this one comes with a little cutter ... https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Adjustable-Gardens-Gardening/dp/B00NC5C38W

Cool stuff. I'm building some astro apps with this as well. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4768
cinder wind
that's a huge E-ink display!
glad mortar
@cinder wind ooh nice designs
robust horizon
oooooh that is awesome
I had imagined you had a lot of images but perhaps there's not enough storage
viral sail
That's really nice.
cinder wind
JEALOUS. want that sticker

will this PR be for those ESP32S2 boards from Digikey? (I just got one too)

+1 for WebCam Settings -- I use it all the time. It's not perfect as it's a bit older, but it's super useful.
[there are some small glitches here and there, where you need to select the settings for a cam twice]
cinder wind
Thanks @haughty quiver !
rapid hornet
@cinder wind the PR will be for the ESP32S2 port generally
robust horizon
On Linux, v4l2ucp lets you control all those settings
That's tomorrow at 2:30PM Pacific and 5:30PM Eastern right @rapid hornet?
viral sail
Great. Thanks everyone. 🌘
glad mortar
good stuff, thanks @haughty quiver
cinder wind
oh good so I can play along at home with my ESP32-S2 board

haughty quiver
thanks @glad mortar -- btw, this shirt and the mug are two of my favorites :]
waxen thistle
@haughty quiver Thanks for another S&T!
glad mortar
@haughty quiver how do you keep the design from falling apart, do you only cold wash it? o:
tame geyser
great shout on webcam settings will have to cheack that out 🙂
wispy valley
Thanks everyone!
glad mortar
I wash it at 30°c which it says it should be able to take but its already failing after a few washs :/
rapid hornet
@cinder wind yup! you'll need a usb breakout or cannibalize a cable for native usb
robust horizon
mp3 player for pygamer: https://github.com/jepler/JEplayer/releases/tag/v0.0.0-alpha3
cinder wind
Yup. I have a breakout ready to go. Pins 19 & 20 I think
waxen thistle
I use it for my C920 logitech cameras on my macbook, and it's the best way to control exposure & whatnot "in-camera"
robust horizon
if you try it out please drop me a line and let me know if you ran into trouble.
haughty quiver
@cinder wind I'd be pretty into your next song being titled "Terrible vel Crow".
cinder wind
sigh. now that I hear it, all I can hear is "terrible" and not "tear-able"
haughty quiver
@glad mortar I never wash my clothes, I just stare at them with such intensity that they become clean.
glad mortar
wait wat, for real? 😄
