@rapid hornet change the 'hotkeys' for KiCAD

#

i used it on windows last year sometime

#

jlink that is

#

yes, esp32, using an espressif board

#

i more of less followed the espressif docs

gusty wedge
#

@rapid hornet Do you happen to have a digikey PN for the jtag connect you have on you adapter?

#

Thank you.

drifting arch
#

I love that you can search for the adafruit SKU (4 digit) on digikey and it 99% of the time shows it for the first result.

#

and on mouser...just add 485- (485-4048 for example)

I know that pain of having your driveway dug up. Went on for 6 weeks 😦

Not so close to me. >2 weeks in the mail.

What would happen on a feather, to the pins that now go to the serial programmer?

#

@rapid hornet please please please test Raytracing 😉

@rapid hornet I found a BUG on the board!!!

#

I might add some of these to my PCB order with JLC...in case someone from Europe wants some...

strong acorn
#

Does anyone know if IO26 works as a digital output? it's a wpu, but I can't drive it low with the same set up as the other pins.

#

...so maybe use something else for D10?

#

or maybe I read that wrong

gusty wedge
#

V3.1 🙂

drifting arch
#

@rapid hornet I had it uploaded to JLC...was ready to press 'buy' as soon as you had done it...

strong acorn
#

no, just playing with Saola

simple fractal
#

lol

strong acorn
#

while we're at it, can I get you to reconsider IO11 as A2? it's ADC2 so can't be used as analog when wi-fi is on

#

IO6 and IO7 are ADC1 and otherwise unused I think

ornate coyote
#

@strong acorn well, we all know that sometimes Espressif don't deliver what they promise!

strong acorn
#

🙂

ornate coyote
#

But the promise is that there will be a "facilitator" that will allow for ADC2 + Radio, with radio taking higher priority

#

They also promised to fix this on the ESP32 - 2 years ago 😉

#

I'd like to hope they won't make this mistake again...

rapid hornet
ornate coyote
#

@strong acorn I'll ping some peeps and find out the "plans"...

clever summit
#

Mistakes? You only ever find them the day AFTER you ordered the PCB's.

simple fractal
#

ok, i ordered one 🙂

#

if it doesnt work i want my time back 🙂

#

i think it takes close to a month to get it here in canada

clever summit
#

Support your local Maker.

drifting arch
#

@rapid hornet I beat you to it 😉 mine ordered....and much cheaper 😄 😄 😄

simple fractal
clever summit
#

$3.10? What's the extra $.10?

drifting arch
#

$2.00 for PCB, $1.10 for HASL lead-free

simple fractal
#

about 23 days was the last shipping time. plus mfgr time

clever summit
#

Oh. Ah. HASL lead free. The thing I always forget to click.

drifting arch
#

@rapid hornet I had to pay $0.29 for shipping...already have an order in process...it should be here in under a week.

i like my lead

clever summit

Thanks! Cool stream!

I don't have micro-b connectors though....

The "DESK OF LADYADA - Finding a matching connector...." is cool. If you are considering other connector types, I'd be pleased to hear your ideas on small RF connectors, specifically connectors to attach antenna leads to PCB-mounted connectors. Thanks for considering this, and for all the cool work you do.

not a stalker.. but I would love to live next to @hard hollow and @rocky reef 🙂

no maker spaces near me.. maybe need to start one.

they would work great for an led stickman

waxen thistle
#

I've been doing some research into these LED "neon" lights. Been looking at some commercial installations, etc

They're also used in retail-sold desk lights, like stars, pineapples, flamingos, etc -- available places like Walmart, Michaels, etc.

4x 100watt equivalent LED bulbs are 13w each (52w total). Less than one 60w incandescent.

crazy the energy savings @waxen thistle you can get

waxen thistle

More than 6x the brightness -- instant-on too (no warmup time needed). and less waste heat (you can put your hand on the bulb while running -- don't ever do that with an incandescent).

I have replaced my florescence tube lights with led tubes.. much nicer

@rapid hornet - the other day when you unboxed the Wio Terminal - we were unsure about the date order on the label
I see in https://lbry.tv/@BnBe:4/is-the-wio-terminal-any-good-getting:8 that there is a date code of "04/15/20" - so it seems like it really is mm/dd/yy - like you were guessing.

Random thought from someone with a green thumb -- if you want to own a plant that's super hardy, can be neglected, and is on NASA's top 10 list of plants on the trip to Mars for air purification properties, check out "Dracaena trifasciata" -- aka Snake Plant blinka

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_trifasciata

Dracaena trifasciata

Dracaena trifasciata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. It is most commonly known as the snake plant, Saint George's sword, mother-in-law's tongue, and viper's bowstring hemp, among other n...

Good idea: Using the Adafruit Clue and Bonzai Buckaroo to water seeds you buy from the store! 🏪

Well, after a 5 minute struggle, I think one of the alligator clips won, haha. I can't seem to pinch it open without it spinning in its plastic enclosure. Any tips for getting it to stop spinning when I press it? Can I heat it like a heat shrink to tighten the fit?

I suspect even a piece of flat "fridge magnet" would be strong enough if you put it very close

@juan, hold the side with two fingers to pinch it in place

then you can open it with the other hand

@modest vector yeah I have trouble with alligator clips too, they invite you to do it all with one hand but maybe try what ladyada suggests

@haughty quiver @open girder @proper trench sorry for the late question - is the firmware (or the source for the firmware, even better) that's loaded on our adabox CLUEs available somewhere? I'm ready to start playing with circuitpython on it, but I don't want to lose this awesome grapher forever. I backed up the current.uf2 file, if nothing else

#

I could only find a learn guide for a CircuitPython version of the demo, though it mentioned the Arduino version

haughty quiver
#

@drifting wyvern the .uf2 you backed up is all you need!

#

I'll look and see if we have it posted somewhere.

#

This is one nice thing about boards that use .uf2 files, if you compile an Arduino sketch for a board and flash it, the .uf2 file can be dropped back on it at any time.

drifting wyvern

cool, thanks, so at least I have the binary.

@drifting wyvern @haughty quiver I was a little to quick to update my Clue from the Adabox and did not backup the .uf2 unfortunately. Would be nice to see the code for that version as it runs (well, it did run until I overwrote it) pretty clean.

@strong acorn thanks for the link. I had looked at those, but did not see the exact one that was on the board - starts with the DigiKey logo and then the bubble level. I could have missed it though.

clear matrix
#

@thin river It's not available anywhere yet. I believe the graphing part of the demo is the CLUE_test file in the Arduino library for CLUE. The spirit level may not have been posted. We're looking into it.

#

Or rather it's an Arcada demo perhaps? I'm honestly not certain. But either way, we are looking into it.

@clear matrix great, thanks for checking!

nota bene: SRAM is usually static RAM, DRAM is usually dynamic RAM, the difference being that DRAM requires fewer components but needs to be refreshed regularly (I think because it's based around a capacitor that leaks charge) whereas SRAM doesn't require rewriting to refresh, but uses more components and is therefor more expensive per bit.

( and thanks for taking the time and effort into your deep dives - I think we all benefit by listening to each other - I learn something new each time )

Trying to decide if I should plan ahead for the Orange Crap too 🙂

Does anyone know the difference between the

  • ESP32-S2-Saola-1M and the
  • ESP32-S2-Saola-1MI ( e.g what does the trailing I mean? )

#

The -I has an IPEX external antenna connector, whereas the base one has a PCB antenna, I believe.

timid plover
#

@thin parrot - thanks - I see this in the WROOM datasheet, with the -I having an external antenna

strong acorn
#

The "I" variants with the IPEX connector also have the PCB antenna, which makes me wonder if it uses the PCB antenna when no IPEX antenna is connected. I have yet to do signal strength tests to get a hint of whether this is true or not.

thin parrot
#

I believe there's a solder jumper or something which disconnects the PCB antenna by default.

The random LEDs that shifted in colors felt very familiar. I don't know from where, but it felt so comfortable. Like -- "yes. yes! that's exactly what a random cycling LED should look like."

Several years ago when I was doing the eyes with the teensy 3.2 I was able to find pictures of human eyes on the internet and digitize them for the animated eyes, they were very realistic looking having come from real eyes. I really wish Adafruit would get in some of the round displays that can be found on aliexpress and make a board for them. I plan to start working on the eyes code again and maybe get the scaled eyelids working since I figured out the problem with the code. (Hint it was not the eye code per se, but the way arduino handles memory) It is just hard to go back to projects that are years old when there are so many wonderful new projects to build.

#

Been programming various languages for 44 years now picked up a book on python. Does not seem too bad. Some weird commands though.

#

Probably would not have bothered trying to learn python if not for Adafruit.

@rapid hornet Where did you search for the USB breakout in the Apr 10, 2020 Deep Dive ( https://youtu.be/5zq8RHXVdSI?t=3454 ) - it was off screen
eventually I found a site that had the green and white reversed from what you said: https://turbofuture.com/computers/Color-Coded-Wire-inside-the-USB
USB Cable Colors and What They Mean:
Red color indicates the positive wire with 5 volts of DC power.
Black is always the ground wire in almost all electronic devices.
White is a "positive" wire for data as a "positive" wire, and
Green is also for the data, but as the "negative" wire.
