The mp3 decoding is in "C", since 5.0.0
but the rest is just circuitpython with displayio and such

oh in regular CircuitPython? fancy

nova totem
I just got my first pull request accepted! And my fear was I'd break everything, somehow
gusty wedge
I think you can cache dependencies with build-ci
yeap, with github's ci
Where it says "uses" now you have ubuntu.
You could have a docker image called "cpy-builder", use ubuntu as a base, and add the packages that are apg-getted in the build script.
(to respond to Mark's suggestion)
waxen thistle
@gusty wedge Would you recommend any resources to get started with this process?
[docker is something I hear a lot about, but haven't dived into yet]
gusty wedge
@waxen thistle Docker could be a bit large, in the sense that you can use them as a tool to run stuff, or you can develop docker images. What would you like to do?
waxen thistle
I'm very comfortable with virtualization. I run my own ESXi hypervisor & vSphere, etc. Maybe using docker to compliment this existing skillset.
gusty wedge
The perhaps running openshift (the mini-shift distro is perfect for learning) might be more interesting.
drifting arch
@rapid hornet https://gist.github.com/k0d/09bdeb17f3bc89b4a3676a410328968e Sample docker image that would install the deps
gusty wedge
And since there are docker images for everything, an openshift admin mostly consumes previous images. And if you need to change them, you'll see it as part of the creating process and dive in from there.
waxen thistle
Would openshift be a good "hello world" project for Docker, or would something else be appropriate?
gusty wedge
Openshift would be an infraestructure to run docker images on top. So once mini-shift is installed, I would say, run them all π
Distros, distros with applications installed, groups of docker images working as a cluster, etc.
+1 to alpine.
(or slackware-riscv, but I'm partial to that)

@waxen thistle They have PAPRs' these days. It's a hood connected to a filter filters depending upon task and contaminants.
waxen thistle
That helps a lot too -- PPE has advanced pretty well
Fortunately for me, I do very little that's chemical or dust, and I can do it outside -- so an N95 (or chemical respirator) outdoors with excellent air circulation is a fair compromise with a beard.
upbeat coral
They're forced air and you can use them without a drs order. My old company (3M) required health physical to wear any other kind of respirator, including a dusy mask.

@rapid hornet Can you give more specs about what you would want for a CPU?

@fallow fractal it's not so much the CPU but rather the SoC around it. For circuitpython we need native USB and at 32k minimum RAM but 256k+ would be competitive.
fallow fractal
Would USB 1.1 and micro usb-b be fine?

full speed is OK but high speed is better (iMX RT has it). micro usb-b shouldn't be defined by a cpu

@fallow fractal The bazaar and the cathedral, by Eric Raymond, is a good book for projects/companies about open source. It has a rule about "release early and release often".
It is a good idea that as soon as stealth is off (.... soon) to open up to the community and show them what you have and ask what devs and board makers need.

Not only Lady Ada, but some makers in this community are designing boards live on the web so people can ask and suggest things. That for CPU design would just blow everyone's mind.
fallow fractal
Also small chip production runs have a bighish initial investment on masks even on old nodes. How much are you currently rougly paying for your chips and would an open source one need to be cost competetive or could it have some premium?

@fallow fractal I recommend checking prices of the chips we use on Digikey

@drifting arch are all those extra vias on the left just keeping your ground plane together?

It seems like a good trick, I'll have to remember it
I routed a much simpler board recently and had trouble with my GND falling apart
seems like careful placing of the vias would also inhibit "between pads" routing where it's undesirable

PetSmart sells the foam but in different shapes and sizes
Love that camera.
Just make sure you have a good power supply for the Pi4.

I'll have to rewatch part of the 3D hangouts, I had a call I had to take. Looks like Noe and Pedro had a lot of fans for the show π
Stay safe @hard hollow and @rocky reef π

I wonder how good that camera will be with macro photography. It's a super small rig, might be good for it....
split gazelle
i'm really excited to play around with it
waxen thistle
@split gazelle Have one?
split gazelle
@waxen thistle on order π
upbeat coral
@waxen thistle you're only limited by the imagination and lenses you have
waxen thistle
Well, if you get the tele lens, I'd love to hear what you think of it after you get a chance to play with it π
waxen thistle
@upbeat coral Indeed -- I have a few teles here for Nikon that do some macro work, but I've avoided getting a dedicated macro rig mainly due to cost.
If this tiny critter can deliver an acceptable quality, it'll be cost effective AND easy to adapt diy lighting accessories.
rocky reef
awesome @upbeat coral please post photo samples when you can
hard hollow
thanks foks, cya tonight π
upbeat coral
Are your lenses C or CS
rocky reef
we got the C mount version
upbeat coral
Camera comes with an adapter
You don't need it for the wide angle lens. It's a C mount. The tele lens is CS and you do need it.
rocky reef
ah okay!

Thanks for the info @upbeat coral π·

Off topic - I put new springs on my Ender 3 Pro and recalibrated and set the bed. BUT, now my flat surfaces feel like sandpaper. Any suggestions
upbeat coral
Is the stiffer bed maybe causing the nozzle to drag through layer. Using PLA on the stock magnetic bed.
Got a glass bed to try out but wanted to make one mod at a time.
Bottom is fine and walls feel good. It's just the larger flat surface.
Also tried two different filaments - Hatchbox and Solutech.
rocky reef
so its picking up the texture of the bed surface?
rocky reef
oh okay, it might be too close to the bed
i use a .2mm feeler gauge to check the height of the nozzle
upbeat coral
and it has a strange pattern. The interior is actually higher than the walls.
On the first few layers
rocky reef
ah yea, might be too close to the bed
rocky reef
or the initial layer height is set too low?
upbeat coral
Initial layer (Cura) is set to .2, same as other layers.
I used to set a thiner layer to get it to stick but since I started keeping the bed cleaner, I backed off.
I picked .08 cause that's close to the thickness of a Postit. and everyone seems to use those.
I'll try 0.2 on next print (The cartridge from today). Thanks for feedback. You guys are the best.
upbeat coral
Oh well, 0.2 wouldn't stick. Compromised at 0.1. So far so good.
