^ you got me!

proper trench
#

😛 i wish

#

because then i wouldnt have to do it

#

k both types are in stock, please get onlya s many as you need so we have plenty for folks - i left a limit of 3 which i think is reasonalbe 😉

@proper trench Can we get the QFN-56 RP2040 chips in the store when you get some, pretty please with a cherry on top?

proper trench
#

yes

#

i have like 10

@proper trench How does it feel to work on NDA when most of the stuff you do are in the open?

cinder wind
#

"oh RP2040... that's the name of my cat"

proper trench
#

i work under NDA all the time

#

you just dont know about it 😉

#

many chips i get early under NDA so boards and drivers are ready early.

Where in memory does the PIO code go?

wind spoke
#

Max 32 instructions...

waxen thistle
#

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who forgets to plug in a cable.

wind spoke
#

Does the PIO code survive power off? reset?

rustic oyster
modern night
#

issues because I forget the cabeling are my bread and butter

rustic oyster
#

spoiler, it was not.

waxen thistle
#

Plugged in my DB-9 serial cable into a production server that was having connectivity issues, powered on my laptop, and outright had a panic attack when absolutely no output appeared in Putty.

....yep. I forgot to plug in the USB-to-Serial adapter into my laptop.

wind spoke
#

Next is, does this cable have data.

waxen thistle
#

Nope, just Lore.

brittle meadow
#

also, it's scary how many things from el cheapo MCU boards to multiple hundreds of thousand $ industrial equipment is fixed by power cycling

rustic oyster
waxen thistle
#

@rustic oyster Modem or null modem, that is the question.

wind spoke
#

"cross-cable ethernet and roll-over console cable for cisco gear was my issue"

nova totem
#

I had an ethernet crossover cable where one TX/RX pair wasn't crimped right. COuld not figure out forever what was wrong

waxen thistle
#

Now some systems use USB-micro or USB-mini for serial/iDRAC connectivity. And some have...cough customized USB-mini cables that aren't standard.

rustic oyster
wind spoke
#

So what was your flash split decision?

#

I noticed this video on YT being recommended under the live stream... LadyAda on the RP2040 boards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMfRA_k-EYQ

Something to watch after the Deep Dive

nova totem
waxen thistle
#

@rustic oyster I carry 2x at least of each cable just to be on the safe side. Both are known to work, one is the daily workhorse -- the second is a spare. Because the "spare parts box" that's onsite never has the cable you need.

rustic oyster
#

✂️ <-- that's what happens to misbehaving cables

waxen thistle
#

And ✂️ USB cables that are unknown if they're power-only or power+data.

@rustic oyster Commercially available, or homemade?

"and human sanity tester" is no joke

waxen thistle
#

Thanks @rustic oyster -- and I love that, "human sanity tester".

I have a whole document for each system that is a list of "Sanity Checks" for both hardware and software. So I'm totally onboard with another sanity tester 🙂

simple fractal
#

yes thats the one, or similar to what i have

wind spoke
#

Ok I don't have a scope like you... can a CLUE or something else be turned into a lowcost scope to display a graph of pin state?

grand tusk
#

Ah, we're back to counting cycles.

wind spoke
#

Can you do the 1 twice longer than the 0 ? Or something like that.

timid plover
#

The "Freq" label in logic read something around 800Khz before

simple fractal
#

actually i think you could use the pico as a simple logic analyzer 🙂

waxen thistle
#

Allright, I hate to leave -- but dinner awaits.

[Porchetta, baked sweet potatoes, vegetable medley]

simple fractal
#

i also have some aliexpress usb cable tester.

#

lol

#

i am hungry

timid plover
#

so how is the clock calibrated ? ( if you needed exactly 800KHz - how would you do it?

grand tusk
#

Buen provecho

I'd love to see an rp2040 based logic analyzer in the next adabox 🙂 @open girder 🙂

Oooh... It's tempting to write a basic pico logic analyzer support into sigrok.

simple fractal

that would be nice, sigrok that is

cinder wind

#

a plethora of projects. pick one, any one

rustic oyster
#

how does bitmagic talk with sigrok?

timid plover
#

800Khz +/- 1% ?

opal summit
#

😍 RP2040 logic analyzer 😍

cinder wind
#

at least it's an error msg

grand tusk
#

simple fractal
#

isnt the bitmagic FX2?

#

which is probably supported directly by sigrok.

rustic oyster
cinder wind
#

you need an oscilloscope, digital boy

simple fractal
#

i have a bunch of fx2 boards that i leave connected to some projects

rustic oyster
grand tusk
#

Yay

cinder wind
#

lololol

wind spoke
#

CP will use the PIO and user will want to use the PIO. How do you deal with that?

left pier
#

He mentioned they're going to manage access to the PIO in CP

#

Whereas in MP you can have at it directly

simple fractal
#

its is interesting, I guess some peripherals will use a PIO. instance.

left pier
upper sandal
#

maybe a Metro RP2040 Airlift board ?

wind spoke
#

There are two I2C on the RP2040, and the Qt-Py RP2040 expose SDA/SCL and a StemmaQT. Is it the same I2C bus or two separate?

#

Pimoroni also plan a Wifi add-on with an ESP32 on it.

simple fractal
#

lots of fun options. we need at least one of each

timid plover
#

that's a lot in 4 instructions!

simple fractal
#

reminds me of vliw stuff.

sweet drift
#

well, these are very large instruction words - 16 bits!

grand tusk
#

Is this microcode?

timid plover
#

so how to the bits get from CP into the pull bits ?

rustic oyster
#

sm.write()

glad mortar
#

I feel this will be a gateway drug for many to get into FPGA development

rustic oyster
#

I really hope someone (not me) creates a PIO "emulator" with a nice logic analyzer style visualizer.

glad mortar
#

pun intended

rustic oyster
timid plover
#

is the intensity/brightness controlled - or is the green blink something else ?

wind spoke
#

Are we going to be able to program the other M0 in assembly langage from CP???

glad mortar
#

I'd love to just be able to have a different binary running on the other core and have an API to talk safely between them via DMA or so

warm dust
#

something similar for s2 risc-v core

left pier
#

And is this a standard assembler or is it specific to the RP2040 (I don't know much about assembler). Just curious where we point people to learn about the input program.

simple fractal
#

its rp2040 specific

rustic oyster
simple fractal
#

at least i've never seen it before

wind spoke
#

Can I skip the assembler and directly provide the HEX value?

simple fractal
#

not that i've seen it all, yet

#

i thknk you need a front panel and key in the bits

#

i had a supervisor in my first job who would key in IBM Assembler binary from the front panel of the mainframe

timid plover
#

earlier I asked about getting EXACTLY 800KHz - would you have to calibrate the frequency into the state machine instead of the even 800000 ?

left pier
wind spoke
#

The RP 2040 will take a week to here... can I use that library on another CP board, just the assembler library?

opal summit
#

The RP2040 is going to be so much fun!

timid plover
#

the color loop looked like a constant, did I miss something ?

glad mortar
#

@wind spoke that is all highly specific to the RP2040, that wont work

timid plover
#

ha - thanks !

wind spoke
weary ravine
#

must leave. looking forward for thr picos bye now

glad mortar
#

yea but you can't really do anything with it on a different board 🙂

proper trench
#

but they will be gone soon

#

so really if you want any, i recommend getting em now

opal summit
#

I happened upon them being in stock earlier and grabbed 3! I'm so excited 😁

modern night
#

aw I want more, but I've already ordered a few. I'll wait until the rush is over for more 😄

glad mortar
#

like, you can compile the machine code on any board with that library but you can only do something with the output on an RP2040

modest vector
#

What a fright. I went to checkout and my pico's were out of stock! Fortunately the ones with headers are still there 🙂

smoky island
warm dust
#

nice..! looking forward to over-clocking the development of CPY for RP2040

autumn turret
#

The Pico RP2040 with headers is what I got. Figured it was a) my best chance to get them when they stocked day 1, and 2) Why get a separate product/item for headers!

rustic oyster
#

presses ctrl+p its a book now! 😈

autumn turret
modern night
#

How do you feel about it being used in education--like as a college ee course before intro to embedded systems: that way students can get use to concepts like i2c protocols before worrying about learning about the embedded level

rustic oyster
#

embedded meaning: fighting with poorly named registers on poorly documented chips? 😄

proper trench
#

stm32F405 Feather runs both pretty well

#

its another good comparison board since it has 1st class support in both

fast onyx
#

The RP2040 looks like maybe the perfect chip for circuitpython. All reflashable over USB, which is great!

modern night
proper trench
#

the rp2040 is probably the FIRST chip that was explicitly designed for use with Python!

wind spoke

(speaking of, I noticed today the STM32 feather product page has outdated info about CPY support)

@modern night Python lets you jump in and its great for hardware interfacing learning. you dont have the nonsense and toolchain pains, can get right into using hardware

Not live anymore, but I have a question about the programmable ldo. "On-chip programmable LDO to generate core voltage" Does this allow me to run the pico at 2.75v or maybe communicate with an analog 2.75v device? If not, what does this feature do?

Is this a library for a specific display?

Or a general touchable display library?

How is adafruit deciding when to switch a library's default branch from master to main

it can work with any displayio device and any "touch" or other interface that returns a "point" object

I did not know about pylint and black, nice. Time to install and set it up on my end too.

autumn turret
#

You can also run them as part of your local pre-commit, if the repo is setup with the "pre-commit" utility, like the main CP repo

modest vector
#

So is sphynx basically the doxygen version for Python?

modest vector
autumn turret
#

Not on what changed, but on what fails. It runs the same process as the Github actions

#

So on repos that have the .pre-commit-config.yaml file already in place, it will test those rules. If you add it as a pre-commit hook in the repo, it just works

I disagree. I think your computer knows how to spell colour just fine! 🙂

DESK OF LADYADA - It's an RP2040 & Pico Party! https://youtu.be/jIUV9gYLYpk

Can you believe it was only Wednesday when the Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 was released? We'll chat about this chip and some of the board designs we've come up with over the last few weeks we've had with it. Also, we've got CircuitPython support available in our mainline branch. Come on by with any RP2040 questions ya got!

Itsy Bitsy!!

autumn turret
#

So is anyone else impressed with how under-the-radar the RP2040 and Pico came? There were those "in the know", but the NDA/embargo was so respected that not a PEEP was anywhere until it was announced

#

Hmmm, mutual respect? How novel! "big business" could take a lesson

untold current
#

I was really surprised of the announcement and never saw that coming.

nova totem
#

yeah given how many people were involved I thought the same thing

pearl shoal
#

We’ve had good luck with usb-c as a host. In fact on the itsy bitsy/qt py version I’d love it if the protective diode was jumperable to allow hosting

#

I am impressed by the secrecy as well

autumn turret
#

There wasn't any "fixin' to start getting ready to design a project plan for a spec of a chip architecture that..blah blah blah". Just as PT put it, "getting it done" spirit and attitude.

I can only imagine the production ramp-up for the fab has got to be going overtime

mellow thunder

whole library compatibility!

light stump
#

@pearl shoal I’m curious about your USB host wing using the RP2040. Can you use one core for USB host and the other for general processing and CircuitPython? Specifically I’m interested in a way of getting USB Keyboard input and still doing “normal” CircuitPython things.

#

Hmm... just looked at the datasheet a bit more. Perhaps there is only 1 USB controller so only acting as host or device, not both. If you find out differently I’d be interested to hear more.

pearl shoal
#

The idea is to make a wing that pops on a feather. It would use i2c/uart/spi to pass usb data to the main device

#

Rp2040 just drops the cost and adds speed

I just wanted to let you know, @hard hollow and @rocky reef , I absolutely love and admire the quality crafting you put into the projects, and not just the finished product. But the amount of design work to make projects look good, to assemble them with ease and no exotic parts, and make them multi-functional when appropriate. For example, this week's project fits and snaps together beautifully, no need for 20x7$ fittings from a specialty supplier, the ability to make a mount onto a standard tripod mount. The ease with which you make it for other makers to follow suite is unmistakable and beautifully executed.

Bravo you to!

@timid plover I backed it a bit ago, a couple of years earlier I backed the 1bit^2 icebreaker fpga as well (but I haven't touched it yet because life is like that).

One thing about the PIOASM stuff... it is definitely not for beginners. I think the "for beginners" tag for CP should maybe become "Easiest way to run Python on hardware..." or something like that

The PIOs can offload measurement the clock cycles between edges and push those up through the fifo

Hi @split gazelle

Can you imagine a CircuitPython working the Arduino way, like running on your desktop and producing an UF2 that does everything.

MicroPython vs. CircuitPython. Try it yourself and take the Pepsi Python challenge~

modern night
#

yeah, in the python discord there's been a fair number of users asking about it as if it's an embedded linux device as well. In time it'll clear itself up I think

tropic inlet
#

@brazen quail depends on port but CP uses QSPI on ESP32S2

cinder wind
#

Arduino is great because it doesn't create a "floor" of efficiency: you can drop down to bare C SDKs or even assembly. That is not possible in CircuitPython, until maybe we get the ability to load binary modules

tropic inlet

(flash and psram)

TG-Techie: on what board?

grim robin
#

Heh, just a follow up on the OTA question... what I meant was the support fr changing the files (like code.py) on the mass storage and not circuit python itself. Would that be still be considered OTA?🙂

left pier
#

The ability to use CP libraries across boards is HUGE.

#

in MP many libraries are port specific

tame dew
#

CircuitPython is common with the exception of the ESP32SPI Ethernet support... e.g. there are things that work only in ESP32 WiFi right now and not in Wiznet5k

grim robin
#

awesome, TY!

#

if you can, please link that PR in the doc

brazen quail
#

Consider QPIO over (older) QSPI to/from flash. Nuggets in datasheet linked at SparkFun for their Feather 🪶 rival.

tame dew

Also, the ESP32 had more built in than Wiznet5k

E.g. the socket registers

Will UART work over old skool pins (instead of or in addition to) through USB ?

@tame dew don't all circuitpython processors have RTC?

@strong acorn something about the NTP library required ESP32SPI. Maybe it was another sockets thing

strong acorn
#

@tame dew it used an esp-speciic function, but I think it will get standardized / abstracted so it will work UDP for any connection

Can you take advantage of the parallel read/write across memory banks to improve throughput on the Pico?

#

for fast audio

#

I guess you might do that for multi channel audio

Does it have any dsp that will allow to modify the audio?

Ah nice I can post here now. Ok, so as promised - here is episode 0 of the Bela DSP course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVLRUyPBBJk

As I said, I'm not affiliated but I am a fan of Bela. The course is aimed towards using the Bela platform but frankly it's a great c++ and DSP course in general. I only have a pocketbeagle with the Bela mini cape but I've never really felt like it was lacking. For reference, Bela came from the experimental music section of Queen Mary's University in London, and the course on YouTube is created by their lecturer who collaborated on the project if I'm remembering correctly. @rapid hornet

Lecture 0 of C++ Real-Time Audio Programming with Bela. This introductory lecture gives an overview of the course and takes you through your first Bela projects.

In this lecture:

The Pico has built in Interpolators and integer dividers which could be useful for audio processing/resampling etc..

There's an old entry in jobs.adafruit, from adafruit, asking for people who know about filters. Can't remember if audio was the context.

could you inject ramp PIO instructions for the transitions?

Those kind of filters are so cool when they work. My 🧠 doesn’t get it either Scott

"//" rounds down.```>>> 4//2, 5//2, 6//2
(2, 2, 3)

(-4)//2, (-5)//2, (-6)//2
(-2, -3, -3)

#

good! Thought I'd stop by

#

Yes, the idea is that there are "old fonts" that have neither, and "new fonts" which have both. I don't know why you'd implement a font that has only one.

pallid sail
#

int just drops the decimal , so I guess you could say everything is rounded down

#

yup

pallid sail
#

is there a repo or other resource that has some of font files ready to use?

#
git remote rename origin foamyguy
upper sandal
#

if it's a grep it wants regexp I assume ?

pallid sail
#

That is a great trick

#

if you use quotes I think grep will treat everything inside as a string. That was why the * didn't work inside the quotes.

upper sandal
#
  • alone in a regexp is not valid, I think that's why it's treated as a literal star
pallid sail
#

Thanks!

#

yup, needs the / so /*.pcf should have worked.

upper sandal
#

.*

#

/* matches 0 or more /, . matches any character, .* matches 0 or more of any character

#

I use them so much, but I still get tripped from time to time, having a tool to test them as you write them is very useful 😉

DESK OF LADYADA - Stemma Sunday returns... with a CO2 monitor and TCA8418 Keyboard Breakout https://youtu.be/VpVMo1Qf-GA

Whew that was a week - but we're finally wrapping up January and what better way to hunker down in preparation for a snowstorm than to bring up another STEMMA QT board? this week its the TCA8418 keyboard matrix driver which is also going to make an appearance in a new mystery board we'll sneak-peak. We also have a cool CO2 monitor project coming...

They have the case curved so when you push to release it, it is pressed against the case so you still have to pull it out.

Hey there ! That CO2 monitor reminds me of something we saw on last week's Show and Tell ... 😉
I am finishing up a guide for the design that I showed you then, which I intend to post online soon. I was about to send it to you as well as per PT's request, but maybe it no longer is of any use, since you are about to post a guide of your own. What do you think ?
Let me know.
Stay safe !

when is usually a good time? I'm thinking around 7:30pm Eastern Standard/4:30pm Pacific

autumn turret

Depending on how long you plan on going, that typically works well for me (Central Time).

lilac tusk
#

i'd probably go as long as people people still had questions or conversed 🙂

#

probably not longer than 2 hours

2 hours is typically a decent stretch, especially for folks not used to (or out of the habit) of streaming.

it's funny that I can write 5 lines of code and it takes me hours to write it... and other times I can write 100 lines in like 5 minutes

#

good times

autumn turret
#

yeah, or take 10 time the amount of time to document/comment it in a reasonably rational manner so that future me, or another coworker, would know why it looks so goofy

lilac tusk
#

documentation is hit and miss for me lmao

#

I document really well when doing Arduino drivers because Doxygen is so nice

#

but python code... not as great at that

autumn turret
#

We don't generate any documentation, so I'm not that [un]lucky. Since I mostly write C# code, I try to add XML comments an all public, protected and internal (friend) methods, so that it's helpful to get the intellisense for it when it's called. There's already WAY too much bad code already, that it wouldn't be fair of me to add onto it

lol

#

We have to document well in my job
