I've had a purpleair sensor (go, citizen science!) for a year or two, and it is very cool, but I've been quarantined in place in New York since early March. Of course had I an ISP crisis back in New Mexico a few weeks after they shut travel down in NY, and I haven't been able to bring the purple air sensor back on line remotely. I had to change ISP's, and also WiFi infrastructure in my New Mexico home, and the new WiFi is very fragile, since it is based on Apple Airport Extreme base stations and repeaters, and they aren't very well supported any more.
cinder wind
I've been using the purpleair maps a lot these last two weeks
analog acorn
AQI here is 222 right now. sigh
halcyon linden
Where I live it is 17 right now. I'm no where near the west coast
woeful shell
Anyone know how to roll your own purple air sensor?
solid wyvernBOT
adafruit is live at https://www.twitch.tv/adafruit
halcyon linden
I checked the purpleair map and there is one right across the street from where I live. That unit shows the API at 33.
turbid pine
Because the pourpleair sensor has 2 measurement channels for validation
sage aspen
The reason for the 2 values is there are 2 labels and that data is transformed to the AQI and description.
turbid pine
It has two separate sensors
sage aspen
Yes, but that is part of the debug output for the setting values to labels.
woeful shell
Adafruit only sells the 2.5 sensor
analog acorn
They're out of stock
turbid pine
these show up in teh map as channel A and channel B
wind spoke
Will those project be compatible with matrixportal_m4? Are all the guide gona be updated?
analog acorn
The PM2.5 sensor from Adafruit measures PM0.3, PM2.5, PM10, etc.
The python-aqi library will gen it for you.
Purple does NOT allow non-Purple sensors, so you have to shell out 250+ to play.
woeful shell
That's what I wanted to know, no roll your own, sounds like, too bad. Citizen Science rules!
analog acorn
@woeful shell I agree. I thought about standing up a more open platform....

Apart from opensource vs free, there's also libre (in the philosophical sense) - of the entire supplychain - vs just code that happens to be opensource. This includes working conditions in factories where each part is manufactured. Something that didn't strike me as significant until I started looking at hardware.

Well I'm working on setting up my EdgeBadge so I'm sure I'll have lots of question lol
modest vector
Can you expand about what you just said about C and python?
You said something about speeding it up by using C. Maybe I misheard.
tacit swift
is it because all of the libraries you have to import in python
nova totem
Does the C part have to be built into the circuitpython compiled executible right?
modest vector
@nova totem Beat me to it. That was my next question.
nova totem
Hmmm yeah, was thinking for libraries that are cross-portable, but that's a good point
modest vector
Would producing an .mpy allow one to achieve a 'c level speed;, or is that something else?
wind spoke
Same VM but you skip the compiler.
tropic inlet
Also you can use a logic analyser for IO timings
wind spoke
In Circuit Python, you may want to write in C stuff that need to run in the background, in parallel with Python user code.
In the Java world, ByteCode could be "compiled" into microprocessor instruction. Translate once, execute multiple time. So it should be possible to boost things.
simple fractal
So moving uPython 1.13 does that get uasyncio etc
tacit swift
Writing exceptions is pain lol

those rooms of lawyers have got to get paid

Where is the best place to talk to other people working on the edge badge? I'm a dev but this is my first-time working on micro controllers and I also have xp with PI's
rustic oyster
I've been waiting on a pid.codes review/approval for a month now. They're many months behind on PRs 😦
simple fractal
yes, you can ask various semiconductor mfgrs for a PID
but some companies like nordic just say 'Use our VID and pick any PID' which doesnt work
gusty wedge
I have an openmoko here. Lovely dev, not a nice phone 😦
I did met some of the devs when they came to Costa Rica.
rustic oyster
I like gotta say, I kinda love nordic's approach: "use our VID, but we're not allocating PIDs, so hope you don't collide, good luck!"
lilac tusk
You can get a PID if your project is open source

Maybe the CircuitPython Foundation should have a VID for members ...

So essentially, there are no "private" VID/PIDs setup in the same style as non-routable IPs? Something like that would be useful just for people like me that want to play around with building and designing my own board, but don't intend to sell it.
simple fractal
IANAL (as i like to say)
that was I AM Not A Lawyer
there are so many companies with VIDs using tiny parts of the address space, unfortunate
strong acorn
@modest vector or local MAC addresses

i know a company who has a VID for 3 products
i was just looking at this a week ago, hence all the links

@strong acorn right, something like that

Woah, he answered you? That's awesome, I got no reply 🙂

I guess what happens with all the various companies making esp32s2 boards, and dont care about getting a VID, or even a PID
clever summit
Sounds odd to me.Lat time I checked the agreement with the USB consortium prohibited you from handing out ID's.

Thanks Scott, looking for more as I will be working with the esp32-s2 soon.
tropic inlet
Oh thanks for the S2 Spi fix also, I just saw that in the repo (not tested yet) @rapid hornet
simple fractal
there is this quote i found on eevblog
That depends on the mating connector. I've used PCI connectors and boards made using normal process (gold plated, but light plating) with no bevel. It is hard to estimate the number of insertions, but it was probably close to 100 or so during the debugging. And there was no significant damage. You could clearly see wiper traces on the contacts, but no deep scratches or anything like that.
So looks like practical experience says 'it may work'

looks like the AURA chip is custom silicon. I'm basing my little doodad off of the SAMD11:
if you google that chip number, you'll find a bunch of aliexpress listings for the chip
but there's a project (open rgb i think it's called) that has reverse engineered a bunch of the different protocols that different RGB control software uses, and the Aura stuff looks like it's just some really simple packets over the HID control channel

nobody told me my code was gonna be in Desk of Ladyada 😜 and I missed it
interestingly there ARE some CAN transceivers that run from a 3.3v single supply, and I actually have used https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn65hvd230.pdf on an amazon breakout board. With the TI name on it I assume it's meeting the spec, but CAN is a bit of spec soup and for instance it may not work in all the same conditions. Sticking with a part that runs from 5V supply seems like a sensible idea.
Other chips like NXP TJA1050 definitely require 5V to operate properly
The primary board I've been using for dev has ATA6561 which requires 5V as well

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

@balmy tinsel You can sorta do it but you have to assign the 3d model into Eagle and then that exports to Fusion. I barely know how to start Eagle so not as easy as their videos were for sure
balmy tinsel
I've had some limited success designing circuit boards inside fusion and then generating the 3d models from those. Seems like the same or a similar method to assigning the 3d models in Eagle. The big issue right now is 3D models will randomly disassociate. Wish their was a better way.

This ESP32 Arduino library for an 64x32 RGB LED (HUB 75 type) 1/16 Scan LED Matrix Panel, utilises the DMA functionality provided by the ESP32's I2S 'LCD Mode' which basically means that pixel data is sent straight from memory, via the DMA controller, to the relevant LED Matrix GPIO pins with little CPU overhead.

Or 5G? A 300GHz antenna would be tiny, right?

Yeah, the wavelength is only 1mm. Though the propagation characteristics are not that great.

When I was working at an engineering/physics lab, they had a "millimeter wave" lab where they were exploring such things, which are sort-of RF and sort-of longwave infrared light. They'd have microwave-style waveguide and horns, and optics style prisms and lenses, it was neat stuff. I didn't expect it to have practical applications any time soon.

@haughty quiver About a decade ago (wow, time flies), I got a the Maratac Bail Out Bag. I don't recall which generation or size, but it was my go-to field service bag for quite a few years. I used it to haul datacenter cables, tools, etc.
It was very well made, lots of thoughtful pockets. I stopped using it when I transitioned to working nearly exclusively in NYC -- and in army olive green, it visually sent the wrong message.
I still occasionally use it when I need a lot of pockets for medium-to-smaller tools.

So... we can invent a new 7400 that never existed?

@rapid hornet Are you ok with me selling your feather-saola thing, and this stemma-machxo32 bare boards on tindie? for EU buyers...
OSHPark isn't great for EU peeps
gusty wedge
Someone left Herkes on a loop...

Or one 7400 that has all the possibilities, and a way to configure with dip switch what chip you want.
tropic inlet
So only one chip at a time?

I've been wondering about logos on open source hardware for a bit. Would it be better to remove them from the source to begin with so that you do not need to worry about others forgetting / not wanting to remove the logo who may want to reuse / resell the design?
drifting arch
2nd on the search list!

This could be electronic preservation... some component will disappear. If you want to rebuild a very old personal computer, and one chip is missing, you could replace it with some FPGA replacement piece.
balmy tinsel
Seems reasonable thanks for taking the time to answer my question 🙂
terse sparrow
Not talking about MiSTer, but some retrogaming/preservation group are doing that.
This is becoming too serious: checklist, list of topics, timestamp. Seriously, what is happening to you?

I've been there!

how does this UF2 stuff play with the ESP-IDF?
gusty wedge
(afk, will catch the stream when uploaded. Thanks for showing the puzzle and for a cool stream.)
drifting arch
With the new debug-edge version
clever summit
Cute!
tropic inlet
I think you have mentioned it before
drifting arch
@rapid hornet the machxo symbol seems to be missing from your kicad-libs
balmy tinsel
I'm here for it
warm dust
me!
tropic inlet
Adafruit Circuit Python bundle is a bit of a nightmare use of submodules..
drifting arch
I'm wondering why you're pushing debug-edge...isn't it the kicad-libs I needed?
simple fractal
i think micropython has make targets to setup the submodules.
simple fractal
lol
here we go, git magic
never do this at home
this is how i have to restore from backup
balmy tinsel
Is their a rule of thumb for when you should / shouldn't use submodules in git?
simple fractal
you're a professional, as an amateur i know my limits
drifting arch
Is there anyone in the chat who isn't at home right now?
drifting arch
There is a bug in TinyUSB for STM32F1 that I need to add my fix for 😛
tropic inlet
@rapid hornet needs a 'git status' button on his keyboard
drifting arch
We can't use CPY with F1 without the fix...the IRQ priorities stop things from working.
balmy tinsel
Makes sense
simple fractal
i dont think west uses submodules, they use multiple repos under one tree. or at least thats the elevator pitch

Hello all, slept in and missed the start 😄 doh!
simple fractal
well yes, but done their own way lol.
simple fractal
this is an exciting start
wispy linden
wooooooooo timecodes 😄
drifting arch
no .gitmodules

Hey @drifting arch my hot air station should arrive today, so this weekend, the femfemfemfemfemto will be miiine
drifting arch
haha...nice!
simple fractal
one must never break the beam
i did something with a submodule yesterday, and managed to have to edit .gitmodules
drifting arch
Got it 😉
drifting arch
Now the schematic looks good 🙂
simple fractal
yes, fast branches ftw

new one has ble

Hi all. Oh no, I'm really late today. There is a puzzle today? Darn, now I'm really sad I missed most of it.
With a cat around? That sounds dangerous 😄
fair fulcrum
we have a lot of issues with not getting enough detail in error messages from UBLOX and Sierra modems. very frustrating.
clever summit
Same thing with Quectel errors.

https://github.com/chickadee-tech/stemma-machxo32/pull/1 << First PR 😄 Don't merge it yet...don't divert again....🤓

☑️ Option 2 seems nice and clean, no disruption to installed base
warm dust
Deep Sleep PR is in
drifting arch
Have checked out your schematic...only thing I find that might be an issue is SDA/SCL is connected twice...is that correct?
oops...I tried to not make it a question...
gusty wedge
(back)
over-looking at the code, it seems that can and uart are both tx-rx.
What, is it using ULP for this?
simple fractal
i think deep sleep uses a stub in RTC memory.
warm dust
@gusty wedge code.py is a bit different then the one in hibernate issue
will post new code.py in the hibernate issue
drifting arch
Don't forget my post a little higher up...
gusty wedge
you sent them to deep sleep 🙂
simple fractal
we're just waking up here in canada. or getting ready for dinner at least
wispy linden
Which MACHXO2 part is it? The schematic seems to reference a generic footprint
Nice, thanks 🙂
gusty wedge
Can I buy a tinyfpga and use it to test your code?
tinyfpga ax2?
A local provider has them.
correct.
Cool, I'll get one.
Great stream as always, the part I saw. I'll download the rest and have a look a deep-sleep (yey!).
warm dust
Nice Stream 🙂
tropic inlet
Thanks scott, great stream
simple fractal
thanks again scott and all chatters
rapid hornet
thanks all!
modest vector
Thanks Scott. I'll have to stream it later since I missed most of it.
wispy linden
Thanks Scott 🙂
modest vector
But I was distracted with these eerie sunsets lately.
strong acorn
Thank you, educational as always!
rapid hornet
@modest vector are they eerie due to smoke?
modest vector
@rapid hornet I assume so. I'm all the way in Pittsburgh, but I think we are getting smoke from the West.
rapid hornet
ya, I think pt mentioned they were seeing it in NYC

smoke particles have come to Finland too from forest fires in cali

Limor on the new tv on the new covered patio... it works!
Hard to tell if there is ghosting in the last digit or if it’s mpeg compression

Is there much of a power savings on top of the speed improvement?

The Great Search - SPI NOR FLASH Memory
It took all weekend but we refactored our E-Paper library (dubbed ThinkInk) to add fast partial updates. The QT Py has plenty of pins to drive your next EPD project, and lots of RAM as well. It's quickly becoming my favorite board.
Want to upgrade your QT Py to add onboard flash memory? There's a spot on the bottom. We love NOR flash memory, it’s cheap and easy to use when you need only a few MB. Lets show how to search on Digi-Key to identify the different models of SPI NOR FLASH as well as some of my hard-learned tips-n-tricks.

Thanks, curious if I put this in my weather display

would be a cool addition @nova totem
