Good afternoon.

[haughty quiver]

Lars resembles that remark.

and there's that disco sound on YT!

[haughty quiver]

[lavish patrol]

Yay. 😬

[inner spade]

Mic audio is great; peaking at -6db and in sync!

[cinder wind]

[lavish patrol]

@cinder wind But what happens if you need a virtual fire?

[inner spade]

Still amazed at the costume quick-changes during the cabinet of mystery segment.

[lavish patrol]

There are two @haughty quivers...

One is Lars cosplaying.

[inner spade]

Yikes!

[cinder wind]

ahah this is a great demo for this kinda weird part. Now we can computer-control all the random thriftstore radios!

Sorry to keep bothering you guys about the neopixels for the Dark Saber, but I am confused; something isn't adding up for me in the learn guide. It says=Reel of NeoPixel LEDs
This project uses a two strips of NeoPixels. Remove the strip from the plastic reel. Count and measure each strip. Each strip is cut using scissors. The strips should contain 34 NeoPixel LEDs each. This makes each strip measure to 1.13 meters (44.5in) in length. Now the reel of Neopixels connected to the project page has (60) LED's per meter, so it doesn't configure to 34 LED's in (44.5in) it's more. Maybe you guys used different Neopixels other then the Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - 60 LED/m

[rare mountain]

#askanengineerQ Would Lady Ada consider sharing business decision things like how Adafruit decides how much of a new board to produce on the first run, how to determine the price of a product based on cost and value, etc? Interested to learn business logic behind production choices.

[merry gulch]

Q? How do you deal with dithering or jittery sensor data? Like displaying temperature readings. I tried using a moving average but it doesn't filter out larger readings off of the average.

[rare mountain]

NRE?

Like molds and stuff. Ok tyvm

[hot frigate]

Non Recurring Engineering

[rare mountain]

Thank you so very much for this! So it's 1.5x the cost for wholesale, then 1.5x the wholesale cost for retail?

[strange mantle]

@rare mountain also maybe this series worth checking out?
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOWJbMxQ3Pj4EKufAbbfO6RZ

[hot frigate]

There are two ways to price engineering input, NRE (once and normally up front) and amortized (spread that cost out over time on each individual piece)

[lilac tusk]

I know I usually price for 50% margins on product so there’s money to reinvest into more product

[rare mountain]

Thanks! That's where I started ^_^

[lilac tusk]

It doesn’t always work out that way as you adjust pricing to determine price that maximizes demand

Like the Qt Py LiPo backpack sells really well at $5

[rare mountain]

If you can still answer more follow up. After the first 250 how do you determine how much for a second run? The speed at which the first 250 sold?

Thank you very very much!

[tidal sigil]

Having common parts has been a huge help in the things I make/sell.

[rare mountain]

Who do makers with a product talk to to see if adafruit is interested in carrying a product?

For when that day comes ^_^

[lilac tusk]

If I wanted to sell boards through Adafruit how would I do that?

[hot frigate]

I missed earlier discussion, but have been wondering how the RP2040 will displace/add to/ fit into the current environment of microcontrollers at Adafruit? Is it so good that some other boards/chips are no longer "useful" or relevent?

[rapid hornet]

@rare mountain (did they answer already?) generally show and tell is the place to start

[hot frigate]

Thanks Tan. I'll look at the earlier broadcast.

[rare mountain]

Sounds good ^_^

[rapid hornet]

@hot frigate I wasn't replying to you. I think time will tell for replacing stuff. likely the SAMD21 I'd say

[rare mountain]

Love you guys! You're amazing. Thanks again

[rustic oyster]

rp2040's hardware should hopefully light a fire under anyone who wants to keep making microcontrollers 🙂

[lilac tusk]

Ah okay cool. Qt Py LiPo back pack has been a selling for a little bit but I’m really excited about Rev B so I’ll reach out soon 🙂

[rustic oyster]

especially if the next rev comes with a fpu... though i'm incredibly impressed with the rp2040's action without a fpu!

[lilac tusk]

https://www.oakdev.tech/store/p6/LiPo-Power-Pack.html#/ I showed this off on show and tell a while ago which actually helped a lot at launch 🙂

[autumn turret]

Like ESP8266 did for WiFi, RP2040 will do for others. Pretty much definition of a "disruptor"

"You can't do that. Can't be done!".. until it can

[hot frigate]

The PIO's are HUGE. I can't wait to play with them. I wonder if the Pi foundation is going to make it somewhat of an integrated sister/daughter board, seemless.

[waxen thistle]

"Everything's impossible until somebody does it." ~Batman

[nova totem]

They're not to hard to get into either. I was showing off my project using them earlier tonight

[rustic oyster]

i think the pio is going to single-handedly change what people expect from a low-cost uC. Seriously, I joke but i really think it is analogous to what pixel sharders were for graphics cards.

[hot frigate]

I have very fond memories of Propeller Assembly code. I think it's going to be similar.

@rustic oyster, I agree!

[viral sail]

Great show tonight! Thanks @open girder and have a good night. 🌘

[autumn turret]

So could you build your own hardware too, that spits out the same MIDI signals?

[inner spade]

I love that MIDI FeatherWing!

[dense marlin]

I still have to build the midi host to midi host thing with two Trinket M0.

I tried to add a squirtgun to a robot once but the actuator I ordered was too slow...

[pallid sail]

@haughty quiver I am working a CircutPython community library to support additional wiimote accessories like the guitars hero and DJ hero extension controllers. I could use a tester on the DJ Hero one. https://github.com/jfurcean/CircuitPython_WiiChuck

[haughty quiver]

Nice! @pallid sail I'll be happy to test that out.

For some reason I have three sets of the DJ hero controllers.

[waxen thistle]

Does one really need a reason for having additional sets of DJ hero/Guitar hero controllers?

[pallid sail]

Excellent, the one I purchased second hand was pretty worse for wear. I had to replace the joystick and the clockwise direction on the table doesn't read properly.

[autumn turret]

For some reason....

[modern night]

Oh how do you like the tigard? I was on the edge of backing it, it looked fantastic

[modern night]

I'm excited to learn more about nMigen as well, it looks like a good way to get things up and running

[waxen thistle]

@rocky reef -- Howdy 🙂 During the heart milling video on AAE, y'all mentioned that you used a mini vacuum with a nozzle adapter to clean out the milling enclosure.

I've been looking for such a tool -- the closest I've found is a MetroVac [https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/599906-REG/METRO_DataVac_MDV_1BAC_DataVac_Pro_The_Next.html].

What make/model vacuum do you use for cramped quarters cleaning?

[hard hollow]

@waxen thistle hey hey, the vacuum is a dyson V8 with a flexible hose attachment and the "tiny tube" attachment. I found a similar one on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Attachment-Cleaner-Flexible-Cleaning-Keyboards/dp/B07C4G7D9M/ref

[waxen thistle]

In +/- 10H FOSDEM 2021 is starting... virtual. I guess the beer event is not taking place.

[simple fractal]

I will drink beer while watching 🙂

[upper sandal]

yeah somebody didn't like being suggested to try circuitpython 😛

Hello from a brisk South Dakota

[wind spoke]

That was in Raspberry Pi forum? That and the VS repo on "Raspbian"...

[simple fractal]

oh that reminds me. Can we get a TinyUF2 channel. I don't think there is a easy way for people to find stuff about it. But maybe nobody wants to know.

[warm dust]

+1 for TinyUF2 channel

[upper sandal]

oh @simple fractal I believe you worked on the Lilygo build ?

[simple fractal]

yep

my github name is skieast

[upper sandal]

I'd like to thank you for that, I learned about it and got one because of that 😉

[wind spoke]

Did you had a chance to play with Dazzle Gameduino x3?

[simple fractal]

i have a bunch of TinyUF2 builds for various boards, Olimex, Stetelthings, another lilygo board. Pretty trivial actually.

i have one of the gameduino here. still on the box

too many toys

wow, that was easy.

[upper sandal]

(and I use it to test my web libraries because the screen helps and the on-off button makes it clean to turn off when I don't need it)

[autumn turret]

Good afternoon Scott, Spook and everyone!

[simple fractal]

yes, and i like that the usb can be native or through the serial port

[wind spoke]

The one that take notes decide on the topic. 🙂

[gusty wedge]

I showed it to the free software-fpga people on twitter and they loved it. It's cool that those chips can be used by free software now.

[warm dust]

stuck with nvm currently looking into uart

[eager matrix]

Hi Scott, audioland is a good place to be.

[digital crescent]

I tried looking at sleep on the nrf, can you explain the esp32s2 code and where the calls would differ? Also, where do the nrf specific libraries live?

[gusty wedge]

(When I realized they where proprietary-software-only, I but them on a box under something...)

[wind spoke]

There is a game where one try to make a joke and see if Scott react.

[simple fractal]

i find it interesting that we chat back an forth on discord and youtube. at least we also arent talking on twitch

[wind spoke]

There is another game where you ask an interesting question and see if Scott jump into it.

[eager matrix]

HMU if you have any question. Audio is what I do all the time including my job.

[simple fractal]

how fast to build CPY?

[digital crescent]

@wind spoke the old make scott go on a tangent game.

[simple fractal]

i am impressed. Yes, QSTR takes forever

[upper sandal]

I can't chat in the youtube chat today, the window is too far on my second screen :p

[simple fractal]

I'm on a laptop, so hard to compare

[eager matrix]

I do that too, I'll say K instead of G.

[simple fractal]

crossfire maybe, crosshair is the cat version

[warm dust]

hi @digital crescent you can take a look into PR #3850, #3830 & #3767 for that

[simple fractal]

no idea

[upper sandal]

I'm building in a VM, I think that doesn't help, and it does take for ever

[simple fractal]

i try not to look at PC parts as I easily get into upgrade mode

[high frigate]

crossfire is how you run multiple AMD GPUs in one system

[simple fractal]

i do my builds in WSL2, so sort of a lightweight VM

[gusty wedge]

How many GPIO pins does the mobo has? :þ

All modern computers (since the OLPC laptop) should have GPIO pins, and analog in on the audio port 🙂

[wind spoke]

Don't show us, make us listen to it.

Is there a place on that mother board that can run CP?

[simple fractal]

UDOO have a PC compatible x86 board w/Arduino lol

[upper sandal]

is the OLPC still doing stuff these days ? I developed software for researchers using a fleet of OLPCs ummmm 8 years ago

[digital crescent]

I basically got as far as copying the code from the esp32s2

then found an nrf_power lib

but didn't know how to use

[simple fractal]

nordic is great for low power stuff

[digital crescent]

I got to that sheet surprisingly, but didn't know how to implement. I have an nrf with an airlift connected to an eink featherwing.

[wind spoke]

ESP32 is Espressif ... NRF is impressif

[nova totem]

Hi everyone, vacation starts now (which means i'll probably just be on here more cause where else can i go)

[digital crescent]

[gusty wedge]

Yes, I have a couple of stations listening in. (could not make it to s&t 😦 )

[wind spoke]

Cosmic ray is my second name.

[nova totem]

What're you using to listen? I've done some before via RTLSDR

[gusty wedge]

They use LoRa, so it works with the smallest antenna possible (sometimes)

Yes, the 3 of them are in sleep mode right now because of low battery. At least they are not dead (yet)

@nova totem We are using this project called tiny-gs (ground station)

https://github.com/G4lile0/ESP32-OLED-Fossa-GroundStation

It works a cheap esp32+lora out of the box, and of course with adafruit hardware as well.

[upper sandal]

it's a little bit finicky

[nova totem]

cool, did you use any special antenna?

[fluid drum]

wow. that is as super usefull app!

[gusty wedge]

@nova totem Stock antenna, but I plan to build a couple of custom antennas for ~915 and ~433 to get more packets/day.

[modern night]

how does it add boards? does it work with kicad files as an input?

[upper sandal]

put the phone on an articulated arm and output the image to a big screen

[gusty wedge]

Yeah, I would like to use some AR application, hopefully AR to show some archaeological petroglyphs that I want to show in real size.

[modern night]

Ah neat! Thank you!

[upper sandal]

Adafruit AR did identify mine with soldered pins and a reset button solder on top on the right

[high frigate]

that's neat as heck

[upper sandal]

oh yeah, add new boards with PRs and stuff

[eager matrix]

Is that a 10pin swd connector?

[brazen quail]

Suggested guest: Trinamic chips wizard (for quadrature encoder co-processor). Give hope for CP and closed loop feedback motor control.

[smoky island]

Yep streaming tomorrow morning 10am central time Thank you 🙂

Correct. 8am pacific

[digital crescent]

where do you stream @smoky island ?

[smoky island]

Twitch and Youtube, I will put links here in this discord channel a few minutes before I start

[brazen quail]

Trinamic is company LadyAda showcased on Eye on NPI a few weeks ago, to do motion control. Their dev board has editable art (layout) in Altium.

[high frigate]

that's kinda vaguely how a class d audio amp works

[gusty wedge]

I have a nice Peterson tuner. But using a Saleae seems better some how 🙂

[maiden lily]

wait do you mean the timer you're using to output PWM?

or a counter that's generating the duty cycles?

[eager matrix]

You could put a capacitor+resistor on the signal to smooth the PWM for the scope.

[maiden lily]

unless you're syncing to something else on that same timer, it won't affect DC offset or anything. the output PWM will be the same

[strong acorn]

ooh UPS 🚚 just delivered order 🙂 #multitasking

Hi mystery guest.

[viral sail]

Good evening @proper trench

[simple fractal]

i have a pile (generic term for lots) of picos

[timid plover]

great to see @proper trench ! welcome

[nova totem]

that's a crazy audio delay

seems better now

[eager matrix]

Somebody needs a ryzen 9.

[gusty wedge]

Why do you think they went with ARM and not RISCV? Lack of software? UK thing?

[wind spoke]

Hi Limor, @foggy shadow has the same RP2040 Zero sized so you both have one and wait for the chip?

[high frigate]

the naming convention in the datasheet makes me think other cores are in the works

[gusty wedge]

Will this end with the problem that some chips are not available for normal users? (e.g. we can't buy the raspberry pi 64 bit to build my own)

[fluid drum]

That is my hope, that the RasPi 5 will include the microcontroller as well, an all-in-one SBC/Microcontroller setup

[upper sandal]

by default I always blame Firefox, yet I always return to it sigh

[eager matrix]

It's going to do 2 things (at least). It's going to be a great teaching tool because of what the Raspberry Pi Foundation does and there will be a boat ton of boards for that form factor.

[tropic inlet]

Also they started it 4 years ago!

[eager matrix]

Also the Cortex M0+ IP license is free from Arm.

[gusty wedge]

Is everyone onboard with laser-etched chip coasters? 🙂

[wind spoke]

That was a great video. (AU Linux)

[high frigate]

wouldn't be surprised if the chip fab is the bottleneck

covid is doing a number on fabs

[wind spoke]

So RP2040 has enough pin to do two Feather. Feather seems to have so few pin nowdays. Would you do "dual Feather"?

[brazen quail]

@fervent iron We LOVE how you showcased Trinamic having Altium files for their multi axis closed loop motion control chip.

[wind spoke]

It does not run Linux. 🙂

[simple fractal]

i just got that board in. and realized i dont know what parts go on it 🙂

for some reason i assumed that the shcematic was on github

[timid plover]

@rapid hornet - were discussing about two different RP2040's communicating via PIO?

[wispy linden]

woo @rapid hornet and @proper trench talking RP2040 .. what a treat for Saturday morning 🙂

[gusty wedge]

There is "fifo memory"...

[eager matrix]

ESP32 is great for audio since it has floating-point and the ESP_IDF supports Bluetooth audio.

Also faust is directly supported on the ESP32.

[nova totem]

I'm going to try the neopixel thing if i get a chance this weekend

[eager matrix]

Oh man, I just got my home assistant hook up to adafruit.io

[wind spoke]

The boss is calling while you are streaming... what do you do?

[timid plover]

@rapid hornet - were discussing about two different RP2040's communicating via PIO?

oh - same chip, thanks

[tropic inlet]

The RP2040 has fifos for coms between it's internal cores

[gusty wedge]

LOL

I need that on a shirt.

[modest vector]

Hi all. Showing up very late. Were you showing your latest puzzle on the screen?

[gusty wedge]

Hola Juan. We are looking at a decaps of the new pi chip.

[rapid hornet]

https://twitter.com/johndmcmaster/status/1355093011923750912

John McMaster (@johndmcmaster)

Decapped to show copper bond wires connecting die to package pins. Initially used only nitric acid which destroyed copper bond wires (last image). Fixed by switching to mixed nitric + sulfuric acid

Twitter · Jan 29, 2021, 9:58 AM

[gusty wedge]

And, if you live in Costa Rica, around June we might be doing a decapping workshop, probably with pi and esp chips.

[severe vigil]

You did not talk about it

[modest vector]

Hola @gusty wedge, thanks!

Thanks for catching me up Scott, I'll need to scroll up and read the discussion.

[tropic inlet]

Its under SIOfrommemory

[gusty wedge]

That sounds like the Total Perspective Vortex from h2g2. 🙂

[severe vigil]

Is that one cycle pre pipeline stage or one cycle for the whole pipeline?

[maiden lily]

that's pretty specific. is this a common peripheral in other microcontrollers?

[severe vigil]

Daaaamn, interpolator 🚀

What's your least favorite part of the RP2040 so far?

[gusty wedge]

3 is the magic number...

[tropic inlet]

will there be anything new on the adafruit/CP pioasm front to support the all the features?

[gusty wedge]

What plans do you have for the second core, other than the cool debug you talked about?

[maiden lily]

So is this version of your code up on GitHub?

[gusty wedge]

I know that the electronic cats people tried programming it with a jtag and several other things, but ended up using the second core for that.

[severe vigil]

Would you say the docs are your favorite feature so far?

[eager matrix]

@gusty wedge I'm working on FreeRTOS for the pico and that will take advantage of both cores. I don't have a Pico yet but I'm working on the code now.

[maiden lily]

Thanks maybe I’ll take a look. Just put the headers on my pico too so I might try out the pwm and stuff!

[dry shore]

biggest surprise i ran into from a hw-less dev cycle, is that my toolchain was leaking arm32 opcodes into the binary

[timid plover]

only assembly - what about relocatable C code?

[modest vector]

So user PIO code, or you mean something hard coded in circuitpython?

[wind spoke]

[ancient grotto]

Good Morning

[autumn turret]

Good morning foamyguy

[fluid drum]

Morning, looking forward to listening in and learning a thing or two

[autumn turret]

Quick FYI, your chat window is either a bit low (not seeing latest messages) or frozen

Yep, radial progress bar is a "down the road" thought

[smoky island]

Thank you for the heads up on chat

[ancient grotto]

@hugo are you changing the text direction also, or this progress bar does not include text?

[autumn turret]

The [object Object] is DEEEP in the Discord server bowels

I have a thought, we can chat later

It does not include text

[ancient grotto]

I saw some issue on that so I was wondering

[autumn turret]

Sounds good. And it's still a WIP, so plenty of room to put in improvements

I'm taking notes too, so they can possibly be added to the library guide

[pallid sail]

thanks that is helpful to know

[autumn turret]

The "Moving from module to package" part

pip install certainly is the outlier, but with "blinka" getting more use, it will become less of an outlier

[pallid sail]

Yeah, I am working on a community library and there was a bunch of stuff in the setup.py that needed updating, including switching from a module to a package. I know there is a PR in the works to fix the cookie cutter for working with community libraries vs adafruit supported ones, but I am not sure where it is

[autumn turret]

Are you in your system environment or local virtual env?

[fallow fractal]

pip seems to bypass apt-get and dpkg.

[autumn turret]

Github notifications might be a good place to see where you're tagged

Top-right of the screen, then the bell

[pallid sail]

I started a venv just for CP

[fallow fractal]

sudo apt install python3-pip

This is acceptable. I'll do that much with sudo ;)

This suggested that:
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-pip-on-debian-10/

[autumn turret]

Was that to avoid installing pip with python itself @fallow fractal?

[fallow fractal]

@autumn turret It's simply to 'only install globally available packages using Debian tools'.

I am fine with compiling code as a single user and using it 'privately'.

Last time I ran into this was when Makecode first came out.

The online webbed version had an alternate you could install on your machine, to avoid using the webbed one.

Was too difficult to install without root password - leveraged pip3 iirc. (long time now).

So when I built my next system, I banned all use of pip out of superstition.

I'll use anything from an official Debian repository, no problem. ;)

[pallid sail]

should the individual files drop the 'adafruit_'?

so it just becomes progressbar.py and progressbar_base.py

did you do super.init()?

[autumn turret]

I saw something about that, and I also found that that's a Python2-ism

Sure thing! 👍

[fallow fractal]

$ ls -la /usr/bin/pip3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 303 Jan 20  201x /usr/bin/pip3

No sticky bit. ;)

[ancient grotto]

Interesting, I will take a look, but I normally tend to initiate first the parent and then do the init for the class

[autumn turret]

Saw most of that. Kids had a few things, but much appreciated

[autumn turret]

Like do super.__init(...) then the local stuff?

[ancient grotto]

meaning I will start with super()..

[pallid sail]

I have done the same

[ancient grotto]

and the def _init

*then

[pallid sail]

Call super first

yes

[autumn turret]

It might fail as-is, since some of the params to super have self. in them

Being an int is a separate issue. I didn't want to put TOO much in this one. When I started, the update was going to be "ALL THE THINGS!"

So it will be int, 0-100 by default. But can also customize the min & max. For example, a thermometer could go from -40 to +40 (or 130 for F)

Exactly!

or 0-9000 for RPM, etc

[pallid sail]

very good idea

[autumn turret]

Because the user/caller only cares about its value, not the percentage of its value within its range

Thanks @pallid sail 🙂

[ancient grotto]

Will do thanks for the library

you will need to change the font 😉

this is a bug

Was for analysis purposes

NEw

I will take a look, later

YEs

I added

I put it on friday i think

Yes it is new

I wanted also to try the background alignement also

[autumn turret]

Looks liek that was the paste history - Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V

[ancient grotto]

It is Hugo, thanks

[autumn turret]

It's a JetBrains IDE thing

IDEA I think is their base IDE

[ancient grotto]

Yes, in the original issue, there was also the comment to align the background box

[autumn turret]

That's the majority of JetBrains' IDE & IDE Tools business - quality of life and efficiency increases. Those things that people figure "It's be nice to be able to do x"

I like the Alt/Option+Enter for their quick-fixes

And their "Find usage"

[ancient grotto]

it should be 120

I tried that, and you cannot use floats

for the scale

yes right

No, it does not, the names comes from the original test code in the issue, so kind of copy paste their code.

Dygliph is for the letters

Each letter is align with the (alignement line)

So for example if you try with the letter Pp they will be in the same line and there will be not descent

no, it is not intthe middle, tht is why dyplyh is used in the calculation, you can look at the proposed new Documentation to see the formula calculation

in github

Exactly

try dyglyph to False

yes it changed

take a closer look to the P and P

when you put dyglyph to false, all the glyphs will not take into account the descent value for calculation so p and P will be aligng to the (box alignment box)

put some pad into the background

or try background_tight= False

@smoky island the descend indeed comes down. but not with this font

[pallid sail]

@smoky island thanks for the stream.

[upbeat matrix]

Oh darn, I forgot about this until now. I need to test to see if your ascender/descender code fixed text aligning issues in my issue 103 in Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text. Hopefully the stream will still be around on youtube afterwards. Glad to see that you're talking about baselines. good stuff!

[autumn turret]

It's co-educational! 🙂

[ancient grotto]

Hello endico, we are testing with your code 🙂

[autumn turret]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDfd9ZAcB8kpa3pyEQwLXVA

Twitch only keeps VODs on demand for so long. I think affiliates get up to 60 days?

[upbeat matrix]

is there going to be a baseline property to do i need to compute it myself?

[autumn turret]

Otherwise, I want to say it was 21 or 30 days

[ancient grotto]

Calculated automativcally

no need for calculations

@smoky island did you use the last code from the repo? I changed that for the background

indeed @smoky island

[upbeat matrix]

@ancient grotto I have two labels using different fonts and I want them to line up along the baseline. I want to place one label and set the baseline of the second label to be at the same height as the first label. Right? I think that's be best way to do it.

[ancient grotto]

@upbeat matrix yes indeed

no need for calculations, just to set up a parameter, and it will be background compatible

Good I feel "tested" 😆

Maybe Endico could help with the name, they originated the issue

only for testing

No, not for using, it will be a rabbit hole to go there

[upbeat matrix]

no i'm not

[ancient grotto]

ok will do and submit my PR

[upbeat matrix]

i missed the beginning of this but align_baseline seems to make sense

[ancient grotto]

@upbeat matrix if you are interested the proposal is here https://github.com/jposada202020/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text

Yes I looked at that I put some examples in the PR for the background, I fix that behaviour

@smoky island one last thing, could you show the doc for people in the stream to comment?

[autumn turret]

Quick question before you segue to the next topic - should the blinka_displayio_pygamedisplay library work on macOS?

But after this dive

[ancient grotto]

You are right

however, we have PCF and other font formats

Hugo I installed the blinka_displayio_pygamedisplay with the pygame thing python3 in linux, so I thing it would work

[upbeat matrix]

Optimize Font File Size was from a guide by noe and pedro

[ancient grotto]

@smoky island there is I took the info from there

[upbeat matrix]

I can't find the font guide was thinking of, which is my main problem with adafruit docs. There are lots of great docs but sometimes re-finding them can be hard.

[ancient grotto]

That would be helpful, I try to look for all the info already present in the guides, read the docs, sometimes it is difficult to know where the info is. if you have any suggestions please comment in the issue and I would added for sure.

[upbeat matrix]

Here's the guide I was thinking of. https://learn.adafruit.com/custom-fonts-for-pyportal-circuitpython-display/overview

[autumn turret]

Just had to go back to catch your answer on PyGameDisplay (had to step away). Thanks for that. I'm getting a hard crash when I try the demo, so I'll go along with the PyGame directions and see if that works

ZOMG YOU CALLED ME OUT ON THE INTERWEBZZZZ!!

Code shamed me and all 😭

(kidding btw)

In seriousness, I appreciate the feedback and insight a tonne

Yep, Discord link is on screen

[ancient grotto]

that is a dict object it seems

[autumn turret]

You could make a git alias for that

But git remote rename origin foamygui would work for rename

Delete and add? YIKES!

My pleasure! 🙂

It doesn't help that git sub-commands and flags get mixed around all the time. This was git remote rename old new. Rename a branch? git branch -m old-branch new-branch

Another option is, when you clone a repo, using the GitHub CLI: gh repo fork [account]/[reponame] That will setup your fork as origin and the original (source) as upstream.

[ancient grotto]

yes

is verifying that we have the right data types, we could check the other ones

yes in there

@smoky island could you post the code example to use the mouse for Touch responses for PygameDisplay? I would like to try it.

Also could you post the font that you use to break the code get_ascend_descend? I would like to make the issue and try it

[autumn turret]

Oh, try this @smoky island: git config --global --add clone.defaultRemoteName foamyguy

That way, "origin" is no more, and default is "foamyguy"

[ancient grotto]

@smoky island I will thanks...

[autumn turret]

I'm writing up these git things we've found or set today in case anyone else needs it. Will share the link here for you when done

[ancient grotto]

that will work too

Big shoutout for the great search! The LED search from a few weeks ago was super helpful! Seeing an led run beautifully with a 10k resistor was pretty sweet

Also curious how Adafruit handles FCC/CE regulations for all the various boards that would potentially fall under?

Cool. Got an email from Espressif and text from DHL yesterday. Should be here Wednesday too!

[lilac tusk]

I’ve got rich blood. I skip the electrolytic caps and go straight for the Tantalum

😎

I work with 0.5pF ceramic caps

Need to have that bulk capacitance

[gusty wedge]

Hi from Costa Rica

[lilac tusk]

Hey @gusty wedge

[gusty wedge]

Hi skerr.

Back to building slackware-riscv64 today. Waiting for those cute beagles to show up...

Sometimes the culprit when old tube amps go weird....

Cool, thanks for the stream.

[severe vigil]

Can you link to the posts?

Please

[distant junco]

@gaunt plume I can't believe you codified the Google OAuth library. That's AMAZING. Does it work with only ESP32s2 - or will a m4 & ESP32 combo work as well?

[lavish patrol]

Greetings, people. 👋

[viscid bolt]

Good afternoon!

[fluid drum]

Hello all

[haughty quiver]

hi all!

[inner spade]

[lavish patrol]

Hello, @haughty quiver!

(Listening out for the Bleeps and Bloops...)

[viscid bolt]

These are my drugs & JP’s my “pharmacist”. What's he going to prescribe today?

[inner spade]

YT is finally alive! Mic audio is perfect and synchronized nicely.

[haughty quiver]

yay!

[lavish patrol]

Another quick costume change. 😉

[fluid drum]

I thought of using this for testing a UV lamp for resin printing. But, it won't go up to the UV range needed to test a UV lamp used in resin printing. That would be above 400nm wavelength.

[mellow thunder]

Very Nifty!

Would like to maybe add this to a weather station...

[cinder wind]

if you use one of these LCD shutters with that UV sensor, you can make peril-sensitive sunglasses (where 'peril' == UV) https://www.adafruit.com/product/3330

[lavish patrol]

@cinder wind Lol.

Or wrap a towel around your head...

[mellow thunder]

TY JP!

[haughty quiver]

thank you!

[static wedge]

Hey, will 3D hangouts by at 9:00 pm tomorrow or was that just a mistake???

[gaunt plume]

M4/S2 AirLift combo will work, you neeed something with more RAM. And thank you 🙂

[haughty quiver]

@static wedge It should be at 8pm Eastern tomorrow.

@hard hollow @rocky reef ^ yes?

[fallow fractal]

@haughty quiver John I got Forth running on the Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 ;)

Warming up the 4D printers....

Drats. Time got stuck in the filament extruder again. Be careful when buying inexpensive time, as it gets all wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey...

[rocky reef]

good morning folks!

[waxen thistle]

(And beware if the Heisenberg Compensators burn out....really makes dividing by zero a real chore).

Good morning all you wonderful folks! You're live on Twitch!

[nova totem]

Bonus of vacation - I have no reason to not watch today, cause can't go anywhere

[waxen thistle]

I hear you on that, all too well.

[nova totem]

It's also as cold as its been all winter this week - probably my fault

[lavish patrol]

It's a Pico Pico world...

[static wedge]

Awesome Pandora Mug 😁! That’s the best land ever!

[lavish patrol]

Lol. Cruelty printer. 😄

[fluid drum]

I think every 3d printer has a cruelty mode. But I think the firmware only enables cruelty mode when you really don't have time to figure out what is going wrong.

[static wedge]

Within Cura, you can have a filament change not only based on layer but also overall height!

Under pause at height

[lavish patrol]

Same principle as the Hurry Detector. All systems have a Hurry Detector; the more of a hurry you are in, the slower the system runs.

[waxen thistle]

It's hip to be square. Keeps you grounded.

[nova totem]

the square shape has helped me a few times

[waxen thistle]

Round wire through a square hole.

[lavish patrol]

Is that your angle, @waxen thistle ?

[waxen thistle]

Ok, that's a really slick midi controller

So many awesome arcade buttons, you'll want to insert a coin before playing.

3D print your own lunchbox 🙂

[lavish patrol]

Then 3D print some sandwiches.

Mmmm. Burgers.

[waxen thistle]

Hmm, 3d print actual spaghetti.

[lavish patrol]

That would be doable. 🤔

Or use the spaghetti as filament...

[waxen thistle]

I've seen 3D printed Oreos that look eerily similar to the real deal.

[lavish patrol]

Edible?

[waxen thistle]

Well, that depends on one's determination.

I'm sure anyone with MD after their name would disagree.

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

[shell mason]

made 3d printed edible candy that is cool for sure

[lavish patrol]

I'm sure I've seen 3D printed pancakes...

[waxen thistle]

Any recommendations on painting PLA? Airbrush? Water-soluble paints? Oil-based paints?

[shell mason]

or 3d printed hearts? @lavish patrol

[waxen thistle]

You'd suggest sanding it first before painting to avoid layer line issues?

That is a pretty majestic blue.

[lavish patrol]

@shell mason Heart shaped pancakes, perhaps?

[waxen thistle]

Awesome, thanks 🙂 🖌️

[shell mason]

like a real heart

[static wedge]

Yeah, Macs have True tone 😞

[waxen thistle]

Be careful on Windows laptops - some of them use a lux sensor for auto-brightness and auto-contrast.

Auto-brightness can be disabled via Settings.
Auto-contrast needs a registry tweak to disable.

[lavish patrol]

It was flat, IIRC.

Like a normal pancake.

[waxen thistle]

@lavish patrol I think back to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom -- the heart, being a 3D printed pancake instead of a "real" one 🫀

[viral sail]

Thanks @rocky reef & @hard hollow see you tonight.

[waxen thistle]

Thanks @hard hollow and @rocky reef for another awesome morning show! Always a treat 🙂

[static wedge]

Started printing the darksaber, but the small blade parts dont have screw holes

[lavish patrol]

Another great show, guys. 😀

[rocky reef]

thanks for hanging out folks!

[nova totem]

as long as you intro show and tell with the drum roll it's all good

great show

[fluid drum]

I agree, another great show!

[hard hollow]

thanks folks! cya tonight 🙂

[lavish patrol]

Bye.

[static wedge]

See ya, nice show today!

[rough orchid]

Good job! 👍 thanks!

[paper schooner]

any links/specs on the "neon" tub you showed connected on the lego board?

[hard hollow]

@paper schooner datasheet is linked down in the product page https://www.adafruit.com/product/4310

[wind spoke]

Hi @paper peak any particular reason why there is no release of https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BLE_LYWSD03MMC ? Something you are not happy about yet, or you are working on? I have 8 good reason to start using it. 🙂

[paper peak]

we didn't start selling them yet, but happy to make a release. Did you test it and you're happy with it?

[wind spoke]

I can connect to it, I sometime get a "None" but most of the time I get the temperature.

[paper peak]

I will also eventually work on a library for the ATC opensource firmware that you can load on them.

[wind spoke]

Now I need to figure out how to connect to multiple.

But I believe the connection mode will be battery consuming, it would be best to decrypt the advertised message. I'll try the various option, but maybe I will use an ESP32 as gateway to Home Assistant.

I was not really planning to use CP to directly talk to it, I was surprise to see a library. 🙂

[paper peak]

getting the encryption key is a nuisance, but possible. The alternate firmware is nicer

[wind spoke]

I have 8 so I can fail a few time. 🙂

[paper peak]

you saw this, right? https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer

[wind spoke]

That's where I am.

[paper peak]

we are kinda in the wrong discord channel

[wind spoke]

Oups.

[paper peak]

np, ping me elsewhere to raise my attn if you want

[hybrid veldt]

hey folks! was considering show-n-tell'ing the my group's makerspace/assembly center in Richmond, VA where we've been making PPE for local healthcare/essential workers... a little intimidated by the StreamYard recommended setup... is streaming from a laptop on wifi/fios100Gig network going to cut it?

Don't want it to be a stutterfest

😉

[clear matrix]

@hybrid veldt I'm sure it'll be fine. But there's no way to know for sure. They'll let you know if you're cutting out. It's worth trying!

[hybrid veldt]

Awesome! Looking forward to showing off our mini print farm

[clear matrix]

@hybrid veldt The link will be posted here soon. If it says it's full, keep trying, folks will drop off as they finish.

pico sub synth?

[autumn turret]

OMG @rapid hornet , "I use it all the time". Humble brag much? 😛

I see what you're doing thou, building the hype for it. Like when you sold out the Magtags on-stream when they were JUST released

[waxen thistle]

(you can make putty bigger, but you need to into the settings under the icon -- top left corner of the title bar)

It's not direct or easy, because....well....it's putty? 😛

[glad mortar]

oh wow thats super cool

[waxen thistle]

But golly, putty is my go-to windows tool because it's just quick to spin up.

[autumn turret]

Great stuff @nova totem! Dang!!!

@nova totem is pulseview opensource?

[rapid hornet]

ya, it's part of sigrok

[nova totem]

Yes it is,

Thanks @autumn turret @haughty quiver

I don't have the time but it would be doable to make a driver for sigrok (which under lies Pulseview) to control the Pico

[haughty quiver]

There is 100% an RGBW SK6812 or compatible strip in there.
If no one hacked these yet I will have a go, its almost too perfect of a setup. https://t.co/DOQ6y4WqPE
