@rapid hornet btw, my AX2 (XO2) fpga is on it's way. I hopefully can have it for Friday's stream.
Any "homework" for it?
(even if CR is really small, same day delivery is not something providers do here...)
lilac tusk
hopefully so @gusty wedge
rapid hornet
@gusty wedge nice! I haven't done much on the software side
this is the library I started for controlling it from circuitpython: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MachXO
gusty wedge
Nice.
rapid hornet
that's kind of as far as I've gotten testing-wise
lilac tusk
I really need to get my feet wet with translating some of the C libraries for programming FPGA over SPI/i2c into CircuitPython
prime sentinel
You don't really need to translate them as much as put a wrapper around them to make them callable from Python
lilac tusk
well, that's sort of what I was shooting for lol. Though a true translation would be interesting.
maybe slower than a python wrapper though
prime sentinel
True, a pure Python implementation would be cool (and portable)

It is a seriously awesome board compared to other attempts I've made as using IMU data for this sort of thing!
nova totem
do you know offhand if it can tell you actual heading (like degrees?) I think that is caculatable from the magnometer anyways
inner spade
Great show! Quick and just thorough enough to understand the board and benefits.
viral sail
Thanks @haughty quiver
haughty quiver
@nova totem that's a good question, I'll check if it can output heading like that.
haughty quiver
@nova totem the orientation.x value from the bno.getEvent() call seems to be reporting the compass heading in degrees that agree with my iPhone compass.
viral sail
@haughty quiver what is the accuracy of the BNO055 when using the Quatenrion or Euler functions?
haughty quiver
@viral sail According to the Bosch data sheet: "high" :)
I'm trying to find a better answer than that.
viral sail
Thanks @haughty quiver . Thinking if it's within 1/4° it will be good enough to point a telescope.
haughty quiver
In pure Magnetometer mode they only claim +-2.5º accuracy for it @viral sail so I don't know if in fusion mode they could get it any more accurate than that.
BTW, this is a pretty good Q&A page on the sensor https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/tag/BNO055/tg-p/board-id/bst_community-mems-qanda
nova totem
@haughty quiver thanks, nice to know. Have to get mine out and see how much it reacts to interference next
viral sail
Probably not in azimuth, but elevation would likely be different, since it's the gravity vector. The 3rd axis would be redundant. Thanks for checking @haughty quiver .

It's a bit pessimistic, but as I've gotten older, I've gotten very wary of things lasting -- unless I can hack it, tear it open, repair it, extend it past the end of its "designated lifespan", etc. If not, then I tend to not bother adopting it any more than I absolutely have to. Only will get my heart broken as the service/product sunsets.

@waxen thistle Yep.
wanton dome
I hadn't seen that @gusty wedge , thanks!
gusty wedge
I know my variax bass will die one of these days, and there is no way to repair it unless I buy another one and gut it. 😦
It has piezo pickups and a huge pcb to change the sound of the instrument to make it sound like "famous" basses, and even synths and a double bass.
That is just black magic to me.
wanton dome
@gusty wedge pcbs can be reverse engineered, as can pickups 😉
gusty wedge
@wanton dome yeah, but is not as easy the firmware that does the modeling. For this you actually need to record the instruments and get parameters from the to control your chips.
wanton dome
If you're talking about fixing, you could probably swap out the chips
but yes, DSP is a thing and that thing is hard
gusty wedge
The pickups are stock-ish. And I have made a couple of custom piezo pickups for the neck of the bass for a friend.
dim knot
gusty wedge
And the thing is that I don't have the jaco pastorius bass to model the sound. And it's really precise. I can hear the roundwound strings and all.
wanton dome
tbh you'd want a second one if you were going to reverse it for reference/parts which just gets back to your original point
gusty wedge
And line6 didn't sell any more basses after the first run. The still sell variax guitars.

Network and mindshare effects are really important.
The reason that Linux is a thing at all is because of Free Software.
The GNU tools were available, Linus asked for help on a kernel, and AT&T sued BSD, which scared people off working on BSD.

I'm new to the adafruit ecosystem but I want to promote y'all. I'm looking at Titano as a good base-camp dev platform that starts with gentle CP. Do you seeTitano as a product with "legs" (i.e., a strong future?) Or should I wait for the Metros you mentioned (which I can't find on the shop pages.).
drifting arch
That reminds me...I have basic CPY working on L433...
simple fractal
nice
tropic inlet
@drifting arch is that just the 256K version?
drifting arch
Probably...I use the L433CC specifically so that CPY can run on it.
If anyone saw me on Show and Tell...and saw the ruler...that's got the l433 on...
tropic inlet
Nice
wind spoke
Maybe jepler will watch this stream... and see your side of the treatment.
tropic inlet
I don't suppose it's possible to use an L433 with 128K and add a QSPI flash to enable CPY?
wild urchin
@drifting arch I lost the ruler. 😦
wind spoke
Yeah, I tested gamepad and saw the problem and it was discussed on discord.
drifting arch
@tropic inlet I don't know how to split CPY onto spi flash...but I'm certain it has QSPI on, so should be good...
tropic inlet
It also allows memory mapping etc..

No, via SS7 so can basically "sniff" the incomming messages to a cell phone, and you only need to know the #
Nice buggy protocol from the 70's is controlling the base of auth for lots of sites and apps.
simple fractal
true but most hackers are not hacking ss7 , its most probably sim swapping
SIM swapping sees an adversary calling your wireless carrier and requesting that your cellphone number is attached to their SIM card. The hacker can then take control of your phone by resetting all your passwords via SMS.
ss7, cell phones, i guess its left hackable so that someone can listen in 🙂

The project I had on show and tell was the HalloWing M4. It's a great board for a mix of built in components and connectors and the wing header built in

QUESTION: Is Adafruit planning on making something like the LiIon/LiPoly Backpack Add-On for Pro Trinket/ItsyBitsy (PRODUCT ID: 2124) for the QT Py?
wild urchin
I don't work for Adafruit, I just think they should get all my money, because otherwise I'll just spend it on less worthwhile things.

"copper only"? why "copper only"? [the marking on one of the wire strippers]

@wild urchin I agree.... i made the mistake of looking at how much i have spent with Adafruit. I am pretty my collection could be used as warehouse overflow.

https://timeguy.com/cradek/01594932723 my friend works with much finer wire, I think it's somewhere in the 50s of the US wire gauge system, .012 mm diameter or something

Has anybody tried to solder the SOIC-8 socket to the back of a QTPy?
Because I sort of want to add the flash, but I presume I'll let the magic smoke out.
So having a way to replace the flash as needed seems like a good idea.

If you only have so many Adaboxes you're going to make, should some of us drop subscriptions? Are there people who want subscriptions who haven't been able to get them?
I think I've gotten every box since 004, and I've used some more than others. Totally made an M0 Hallowing 3d printed case and hung it as a lanyard...

@wild urchin we have enough slots for the folks that will want them, all good
so far the churn has been = to the new folks that want them
with some room too, so far good

I thought I had cancelled my subscription due to unemployment, rushed to add it back today.
Then discovered that I hadn't cancelled.
wild urchin
So, didn't add the new subscription.

Buy two kits, never run out until you lose both of them.

Q: @open girder is there a chance that you can back power the 3V pin on a feather wing that uses the STEMMA standard to a feather main board sitting above it? The STEMMA bus has a VCC that could source power from another device, so is a schottky needed on the STEMMA feather wing 3V pin for protection?

Question : can I run the metro m4 on 12 volts thru the barrrel connector Ie a car battery or a golfcart?
wild urchin
12V? YIKES!
robust horizon
Power the METRO M4 with 7-9V polarity protected DC or the micro USB connector to any 5V USB source. The 2.1mm DC jack has an on/off switch next to it so you can turn off your setup easily. The METRO will automagically switch between USB and DC.

Do you see traditional electronics "Kits" going away? (such as the nixie tube clock) Being replaced with break-out boards?

I thought I'd paid shipping last time to Canada (which was fine I expected to) I'll have to check this next time. Or maybe just import duties. Still worth it
robust horizon
the regulator itself says it is rated to 20V https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NCP1117-D.PDF but you'd also need to look at the power dissipation rating and the voltage rating of the input side capacitors
sterile forge
II guess that I can use a buck converter to reduce the car battery down to to 9v and then feed it thru the barrel connector.

Funny story.
