says green is D+ too

[timid plover]

thanks - chat was offscreen also -
My cable is on order - but I see now in the product site:
Red wire connects to 5V power (from USB host)
Black wire connects to common data/power ground
Green connects to D+ data positive
White connects to D- data negative
( thanks to @ professor "sparkles" 🙂 )

@rapid hornet - FYI: the github getting started

@timid plover Note that some (generally cheaper) USB cables do not follow the color code, it's a good idea to check before hooking it to something you care about.

[prime sentinel]

I'm amused a company on the east coast has a server in the us-west region, but cloud computing is like that.

[rapid hornet]

@prime sentinel it's because I started it 🙂

[prime sentinel]

So much has sprung from your effort! I do enjoy this server.

@haughty quiver you should try hooking up a Lithium Ion battery and Powerboost 1000C to your Pi 3 A+ to make it more compact.

Hi.

Remember to take a cell phone or a camera for iNaturalist 🙂 ❤️

[timid plover]

good afternoon all - my kaluga arrived today! ( waiting for USB breakout cable to arrive 🙂 )

[gusty wedge]

Any hack to bridge the S2 so that it can use the internal antenna?

Any updates on the "orange" soc?

high-level synth (hls)

[timid plover]

I didn't notice the difference between -i or not till I ordered - then I asked the question here - and learned ( so now I have both - will be looking for the antenna like you have shown today - starting my search now
( will be watching for the part number you found 🙂 )

[rapid hornet]

https://www.digikey.com/short/z522tn

[timid plover]

this might be the hack you are looking for https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cam-connect-external-antenna/

[strong acorn]

@timid plover yup, that's it, I have an I and a non-I and I can see the difference (tiny tiny resistors) in that little triangle by the IPEX connector

[simple fractal]

and i did build it last night from the native_wifi branch. so that worked. more or less from scratch to see if it all worked

[simple fractal]

it built but there was some error with some microchip submodule. which is odd

this "
fatal: not a git repository: h"

fatal: not a git repository: hw/mcu/microchip/../../../../../.git/modules/lib/tinyusb/modules/hw/mcu/microchip

[timid plover]

thanks for the digikey link - it looked good enough to place an order ...

i had found this before, not totally up to date but fun https://github.com/kelu124/awesome-latticeFPGAs

[balmy tinsel]

I'm here for the deep dives what ever they are

[simple fractal]

i have an ambition to do some FPGA stuff. so far not realized 🙂

[gusty wedge]

@simple fractal I'll recomment Icestudio for starting with FPGAs. You'll be playing with logical gates and leds in no time.

[simple fractal]

thanks, i did just download that, so step 1, tick 🙂

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[waxen thistle]

Good afternoon all you wonderful folks --- watching in the background as I'm handling other challenges

[gusty wedge]

Do you have any intended uses for this i2c soc?

[nova totem]

Natural gas explosions are not all that much fun

[gusty wedge]

yuck gas, in mid climate change.

Having the bitstream in a local flash sounds nice. Rebooting fpgas is not...

[timid plover]

maybe your research will bring users to adafruit for easy to use solutions!

[simple fractal]

SportyScott mode

[nova totem]

Sports likely has continuous focus on

[simple fractal]

wifi crashing last week

[gusty wedge]

The learning curve for fpgas is huge, and there aren't any good sources for docs. There is a community called FPGA Wars, but they mainly create content in spanish (Obijuan).
Fpgas will sell like bread when they are at least as easy to use an arduino. Hopefully as easy as cpy...

Yeap, mid crashes on scanning.

[timid plover]

you just changed the initialization from { 0 } to default 🙂

[simple fractal]

i guess we could rewatch

[timid plover]

( actually I think you did that after signing out )

[simple fractal]

so when i do git status i get an error. everything builds but error is sad times

fatal: not a git repository: hw/mcu/microchip/../../../../../.git/modules/lib/tinyusb/modules/hw/mcu/microchip
fatal: 'git status --porcelain=2' failed in submodule lib/tinyusb

this was from a fresh clone, submodule update --init

i will try again lol,

did that.

[wispy linden]

Hey hey, sorry which branch are you doing this on? I have an ESP32-S2 and would like to play along from home 🙂

Got it thanks 🙂

[simple fractal]

ok, doing a make now. lets see how lucky i am

yes

i iddnt do the --recursive this time

this is ubuntu20.04 under wsl2. its a race. my laptop vs linux desktiop 🙂

[gusty wedge]

Well.. esp32s2's have camera interfaces...

[waxen thistle]

Is there a thermal exhaust port at the end of that trench? It'll be about 2 meters wide and ray shielded.

[balmy tinsel]

Maybe take some video you could add it to the Adafruit contruction montage

[strong acorn]

expose AP wifi_auth_mode_t from scan too?

[timid plover]

love to watch other people work :-)
but combining 'street cam' with google street view might conflict with you protecting your shipping address 😦

[simple fractal]

worked here as well.

so pro tip, dont do --recursive 🙂

[gusty wedge]

the hardware for "esp32-cam" is so nice, small and cheap. But of course, no snaky software so they are a pain to use.

[waxen thistle]

[Star Wars reference -- Death Star trench run]

[simple fractal]

i could flash the cucumber. i think

lets see

[gusty wedge]

There a nice couple of dozen reasons why S2 is cool.

[simple fractal]

my new organization system is fast food trays. stacked up.

bladerunner, enhance

sorry, just realized what i said

nope. all good

[gusty wedge]

Is there a way to dump the filesystem from the board?
So that if there is a filesystem corruption, that image can be used to see the difference.

And when does the fs gets weird?

It happened to me while debugging the neopixel pr, when I changed from stock to neopixel, but I know you said that a change in the flash would make things weird, and I'm not sure if that was it.

[simple fractal]

well the cucumber flashed and is workng, with whatever code version was on github just now

i like that the cucumber board has two usb-c sockets and a few i2c peripherals ion the board. makes it super easy to explore

connectors i meant

it even came with the antenna 🙂

[balmy tinsel]

Yeah having the second usb port on a dev board can be very nice. Leads to an even bigger mess of cables though.

[strong acorn]

and twice as many USB ports in use o_O

[balmy tinsel]

wow 😮 that's a lot of ports

[gusty wedge]

I think this dumps the filesystem if I can chop it up.
esptool.py -b 460800 read_flash 0x00000 0x400000 flash_4M.bin

[muted mesa]

split on .?

[timid plover]

are there ways to call into python code from c in circuit python ?

[muted mesa]

how is the object structured? could you just dump the split into the object's struct to avoid wasted allocs?

[gusty wedge]

Focus has been nice all stream. Last one it was autofocusing.

[balmy tinsel]

Would a bitmask work as well for this?

[strong acorn]

fwiw, this is legit: ping 1.1

yup... expands to 1.0.0.1

[timid plover]

are there other fragments of code that if there was a generic/easy way to re-use python code ( where performance might not be an issue ) -

( I realize that we don't know if someone would be using the ipaddress where they need better performance )

[balmy tinsel]

I see makes sense

[timid plover]

could strtok be useful here?

[glad mortar]

1.1/1.0.0.1 seems to be cloudflare

[wispy linden]

native_wifi build working, now just to get it running on my board

[timid plover]

parts called octets ?

wikipedia says:
For this purpose, an IP address is recognized as consisting of two parts: the network prefix in the high-order bits and the remaining bits called the rest field, host identifier, or interface identifier (IPv6), used for host numbering within a network.

[gusty wedge]

Well, you do use verilog. You just don't write it by hand. You python (with nmigen) to do it for you. 🙂

[timid plover]

it's good exercise ! - and you know you will be the author - and can control the licensing !

[gusty wedge]

🙂

[simple fractal]

hmm, i'm back for training in unrolling loops

[digital crescent]

would have been right the first time with a loop

[tender spruce]

Even if you put it in a small loop; isn't the compiler optimization just unroll it?

[simple fractal]

on would hope

[timid plover]

if you are going to rewrite - consider strtok() for parsing

[muted mesa]

hehe. this is why i'm still in the split boat. let the existing code deal with the parsing, then just reuse the returned list object. 😄

[simple fractal]

i do remember having lots of arguments about C compilers and PIC microcontrollers

[timid plover]

strtok_r() for reentrant

[simple fractal]

i have a dinner stop soon

[strong acorn]

wi-fi scanning... expose wifi_auth_mode_t too?

[timid plover]

you will be in vacation mode shortly - ( even if only a 3 day weekend ) enjoy!

[gusty wedge]

I haven't seen ESPNow mentioned in the S2 docs. I'm guessing that is what they call mesh now?

[timid plover]

your camera froze

[simple fractal]

yes

[wispy linden]

naive question -- i've flashed this to my board and get the circuitpython startup on the serial -- should it drop into the interactive command-line?

[simple fractal]

very still scott

[gusty wedge]

Will mesh be supported?

[simple fractal]

i think you need the other usb for the repl

at least on the cucumber i flash on one and repl on the othe

[timid plover]

nice to have you back!

[strong acorn]

@wispy linden https://gist.github.com/askpatrickw/0a276c7e2d4f54e442b2cb6eaa0d32ea

[wispy linden]

last lines I get are:
I (1451) cp wifi: reset
Heap summary for capabilities 0x00000004:
At 0x3ff9e000 len 8192 free 8 allocated 8024 min_free 0
....

[timid plover]

froze again 🙂

[simple fractal]

yes, in my case the repl will be on the native usb

i'm using a board that has two usb, one is the serial to usb that is used to flash and the other is the native esp32-s2 usb

anfd i do like the two scott , one moving and the other looking side eye

[gusty wedge]

wait, load the term.

[simple fractal]

is this linux specific?

[muted mesa]

if you send me that dmesg output, i can compare to the issues i was having on RPi w/Ubuntu

[digital crescent]

@muted mesa you are able to build this on a pi?

[simple fractal]

i guess i need some circuitpython code to exercise the wifi

i think i tried on a pi, ran into some issue with esp-idf.

[muted mesa]

@digital crescent haven't tried. but in a previous project, i would run into USB crashes on reset...

[digital crescent]

oh

i tried to use a pi to build this, but got an xtensa error that it doesn't exist for arm

[balmy tinsel]

Is Scott's camera frozen for anyone else again?

[timid plover]

I guess you could import the password from another file

[simple fractal]

i think i had something similar. i didnt see the point as i have enough laptops to build elsewhere

[timid plover]

he knows it's frozen

[muted mesa]

Scott, another debug datapoint: set the udev logging to debug, and check the syslog. most of my hangs would revolve around the SCSI block/device ordering. just never nailed it down.

[balmy tinsel]

Oh okay stepped away for a movement and wasn't sure what happened

[viral sail]

Thanks Scott.

[simple fractal]

thanks, all good. i fixed something. so success. 🙂

[gusty wedge]

Cool stream, thanks.

I'll try to break the fs on my saolas.

[simple fractal]

i am actually learning something doing this.

[modest vector]

Thanks Scott! Hopefully the cat comes back next time too.

[balmy tinsel]

Thanks for the stream Scott always such a good time!

[rapid hornet]

thanks all!

@modest vector ya, he will be if the sun is out. today is just relatively cold

and now fedex drops off the package 🙂

[wispy linden]

thanks all, I've managed to get this running on my lilygo board ... much fun to be had!

It’s the simplest of #Eurorack modules! Only 8 components, including connectors, but gives you capsense touch control of a CV and a gate (albeit at 3v3). All controlled by an @adafruit Trinket M0 and #CircuitPython https://t.co/kCBZgMhD0N

I just updated it to support the "rec" button so you can record patterns

[nova totem]

The capacitive touch is neat, didn't know it could do that. I could potentially use that

[cinder wind]

[waxen thistle]

Gah, I had a phone call. Gotta rewatch the Trinket Trigger segment.

[wispy valley]

Yeah, wish the M4 had that feature

[lavish patrol]

Hello, all.

[waxen thistle]

The worst part, it was a scam call. "Power bill" refund. Ugh.

[cinder wind]

@wispy valley I think capsense is supported in CircuitPython on M4 now

I was called because I'm wanted for social insurance fraud again apparently. Better stock up on some iTune cards for the government

[lean canyon]

position of the sky? generally, up?

[lavish patrol]

Unless you're on the ISS...

[viral sail]

@lean canyon Sidereal time tells you what hour of right ascension is crossing your local meridian. It basically tells you the positions of the stars, so it's not really a "time" even though it's called such.

[cinder wind]

Sort of a reminder for myself that CircuitPython on M4 chips can do touchio capsense 🙂 https://twitter.com/todbot/status/1294012752566992896

I've only found micrometeorites so far. (unconfirmed...)

[wind spoke]

Perseids for me...

[gusty wedge]

This is not important because of uf2, but could you flash a diff instead of the whole thing?

[waxen thistle]

I had a friend who went to Antarctica to search for meteorites. Is it ok to be just a little jealous?

[gusty wedge]

In CR, the president has to sing a decree every time there is a new ham radio operator, so it sometimes takes years after you pass the exam 😦

Some years agon there was an experiment (almost artistic) to listen to meteor shower. This might be related for the technical explanation: https://www.space.com/25949-new-meteor-shower-camelopardids-listen-live.html

Actually, I normally "watch" showers by using an SDR, as it always cloudy when there is something nice to watch.

There were quite active like 5h ago... during the day 🙂

@haughty quiver I just thought of a question -- I saw you had a manfrotto magic arm for your desk -- is that how you're holding onto your workbench downshooter? If so, how are you eliminating wobble from it?

[asking because I'm fighting that very issue]

[haughty quiver]

I have a couple of manfrotto arms in here, @waxen thistle one is a two segment magic arm and is nice and tight, the other is a three segment non-magic one and I have two guy lines with trucker's hitch knots in them tied to pipes to help eliminete wobble.

@robust horizon You should support the OBDII devices for access to car internals.

@opal fulcrum thanks

[paper schooner]

Does anyone know if Adafruit carries any "load switches" I want to use a GPIO pin to control sending 3.3 v to a bunch of sensors(like 4 breakout sensors from Adafruit). I would like it to have low loss if possible in the off state.

something like https://www.ti.com/product/TPS22919 but in a circuit (big enough to be usable in projects).

[prime sentinel]

This could probably be modified: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1400

Or you could just use a power MOSFET like https://www.adafruit.com/product/1794

[paper schooner]

thank you @prime sentinel. What should I be looking at on the spec sheet for how much current it uses in the on and off and from the on pin?

Gate-Body Leakage Current?

Zero Gate Voltage Drain Current?

[prime sentinel]

The gate-body leakage current, I think. Should be essentially zero.

[paper schooner]

If you can read a circuitboard, you can "copy" hardware. Might as well make it open.

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[waxen thistle]

And think about it -- if you make something really awesome but closed source, there will always be someone who'll take the time to reverse engineer it & attempt to profit from it. It's not going to stop the determined.

[lavish patrol]

@split gazelle It makes us smile also.

[waxen thistle]

I used to say the CircuitPlayground was my goto prototyping board. Now it's the Clue.

The inclusion of that wickedly awesome IPS screen makes all the difference.

That parrot has some sass. 🙂

[split gazelle]

@waxen thistle same! it's great for getting demos going and i love the form factor

[waxen thistle]

@split gazelle I just need to get some of the acrylic snap cases for it, and I'll be able to carry it around....when we can go around, eventually.

[split gazelle]

@waxen thistle i'm forgetting if you have access to a 3D printer but there is a very nice slim case designed by the Ruiz brothers

[deep scarab]

I just gave away my Clue. 😫 I mean, it did go to a friend for his birthday, with the adabox grow kit, so it's got a really good home. But I guess I need to order one now! 🙂

[waxen thistle]

Seriously, that parrot sparked a smile from me -- and that's a challenge to do lately, @split gazelle. 🙂

[robust horizon]

what is the origin of party parrot?

[nova totem]

@robust horizon Thanks. I had most success with the raft to hold it up and slowed the print speed down to 20 or 30mm/sec

[robust horizon]

.. oh it's from slack?

[split gazelle]

this is the full origin story. i looked it up because often memes have a not so great origin or meaning from before they get popular and didn't want to promote something like that: https://mashable.com/2017/07/13/cult-of-the-party-parrot-slack-reddit-meme/

[nova totem]

That's a cool story where it came from

[waxen thistle]

@split gazelle Totally unrelated question -- I saw you were using a pan head on your tripod. I've been looking into getting one, and I wanted to ask for your thoughts on the one you got...

[split gazelle]

@waxen thistle i love mine- i can get really smooth shots. when i bought mine in 2017 it was 150, looks like the price has gone up or there might be a newer model circling somewhere: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JS86SW/

If you can do advance voting or vote by mail where you live, I highly encourage it. It's a good way to avoid waiting on voting day yourself, but it also in a sense "frees up a spot" in your line on voting day.

♥️ NTP

[wispy linden]

@open girder I would like to see a guide on how to design a board from scratch, e.g. Circuit Playground from drawing the schematic to the PCB manufacturing and assembly. Is there an existing guide? I couldn't find anything specific.

[waxen thistle]

"So I ripped out the werewolf's eyes...."

[open girder]

@wispy linden check out the maker to market series we did with DIgi-Key, its on youtube, their site, ours, etc.

it's the entire story of making the circuit playground from start to shipping

[wispy linden]

🙂 amazing thanks, just found it

[waxen thistle]

It's a very informative series, a small case study on hardware manufacturing -- you won't find that level of detail even in business courses.

[split gazelle]

that was a delightful edit and soundtrack

[robust horizon]

@wispy linden do you do circuits on breadboards? Learn how a traditional schematic version of your breadboard project would look, and get comfortable drawing one (either one you already made, or one you imagine) in the schematic software. It's like its own language.

[lavish patrol]

The Disney Hole In The Ground...

[robust horizon]

both kicad and eagle can be used for free (kicad is also open source) and there are a lot of internet articles about both of them

then you take your schematic over to the PCB side, place the components, add the copper traces, etc.

I think fritzing can be used for PCBs but I've never tried it

[light stump]

Awesome LED animations. Congrats on the new CircuitPython libraries!

[robust horizon]

I think it's critical to just expect to spend time -- a lot of time at first -- before using these programs feels natural. Learning the language of schematics is a process too

[wispy linden]

Thanks @robust horizon Yes, I start with a schematic sketch on paper or Kicad and then breadboard it. Next I put them together on prototype PCB's. I am at the stage where I want to try PCB production and SMD assembly.

[robust horizon]

mea culpa, at my old job which was NOT adjacent to electronics at all, I'd spend downtime messing with my personal copy o Eagle

[wispy linden]

For simple circuits this is fine. But complex / integrated boards like Circuit Playground feel a little out of my league right now. 🙂

[robust horizon]

awesome, sounds like you have a great basis already.

in case you don't know we do have a dedicated channel #help-with-hw-design here

[wispy linden]

Amazing 🙂 thanks, I will have a read of that channel too

[robust horizon]

Having your boards come back anywhere from useless to slightly wrong is part of the game, something else to get used to.

I do a small amount of SMD and it's stll nerve wracking each time I solder down that $5 chip on the board it would take me 3 weeks to get more of, in case I do it wrong

[wispy linden]

😆 Great insights, thank you. I'm about to place my first PCB order, thru-hole for the first iteration. I'm practicing my SMD hand assembly, but not quite that confident yet.

[robust horizon]

[solid wyvern]

adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit

[robust horizon]

(and honestly that's mostly limor's design 🙂 )

the previous board to this one I did the solder paste and stencil for the first time and .. I think that' s a really good idea when working with such parts, even at small quantities. https://644db4de3505c40a0444-327723bce298e3ff5813fb42baeefbaa.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/d9b7d8571f113be83a59e909da918f76.png and a very cheap hot air gun, not even intended for hot air soldering

[robust horizon]

[robust horizon]

@wispy linden there's bound to be something you can find on the local market
