Can I say that thanks to educational resources like Adafruit, when my HVAC decided to have a literal meltdown, I could not only read the wiring diagram, but also figure out exactly what I would need to do to fix it - had I been allowed to do so.

And I forgot to mention, but the extra cool thing about the BL602 chips, is that pine64 is aiming to have no closed firmware on it.

So wanted to say a quick general thanks for that. Brain learned despite its best efforts!

I’ve had a little bit of trouble with the stacking headers leads being too easy to bend. I’ve ordered https://www.samtec.com/partnumber/esq-112-14-l-s?vendor=digikey to see if the square pins are more robust.

Thanks for doing castellated pins. Why not make the pins on a feather, like the pins on a fluff m0? (they are slightly "miss" aligned, so you can put pins on it without the need to solder)

@nova totem late to the party but i have also been doing SMD soldering with a TS100 and a TS-I (fine) tip. Had only done through-hole before this project but SMD isn't as hard as I thought - at least for 0805/0603/SOIC packages it's totally doable by hand with a little practice

also considering an oven or hotplate eventually, but getting by with the TS100 just fine for now 🙂

What I remember about fritzing from the last time I installed it -- if you went to their website, the executable was behind a paywall. It was free if you wanted to build from source.

#

Talk about time...

#

So we can send one instruction at a time to the PIO?

gusty wedge
#

yeah, those extra serial ports are going to be so cool and useful.

#

ogg actually has better audio quality than mp3, but just barely. I would go to flac after (not insted) mp3.

upper sandal
#

can even a single flac file fit on a board's flash ? or SD card be fast enough ?

gusty wedge
#

Opus would be nice for "walkie talkies"

wind spoke
#

Would MP3 decoding run on the other core?

upper sandal
#

by the way I'm not sure I grasped what chips can have the secondary CDC, it looks like the M0, but also the ESP32S2 don't have enough USB endpoints ?

wind spoke
#

Clock...

gusty wedge
#

The long nails LEDs 🙂

upper sandal
#

I can't find the "USB_NUM_EP" define for ESP32S2 in the diff, but dan writes in the PR:

Most chips with 8 endpoint pairs or more support usb_cdc.
[...]
ESP32-S2 and Spresense only have 5 endpoint pairs.

gusty wedge
#

What shift register are you using for that? (breadboard, stemma?) How fast can it go? And how many strips would work? (as many pio pins are available?)

nova totem
#

Work calls going late are ruining my watching of streams 🙂

wind spoke
#

So is this a trick to get us to acquire more NeoPixel strips from Adafruit?

nova totem
#

another trick I heard about was using IRQs to drive a second PIO program to control a second set of pins

gusty wedge
#

This is probably not cost effective, but can you replace the shift register with a machXO tiny fpga, and instead of optmizing the code on the side of cpy, just do it on the fpga?

wind spoke
#

So is Limor going to do a board with that shift registor and 8 connector for neopixel strip?

gusty wedge
#

Well.. neopixels do work on icestudio (which is super simple to use)

wind spoke
#

Need a RP2040 signal analyser to work on PIO and see what I am doing...

nova totem
#

I did that

gusty wedge
#

"Counting edges", that's the name of my band.

👋 all. RP2040 PIO kind of reminds me of the IO on the Parallax Propeller.

#

frequencyio ?

It's like a kick ass laser measuring ruler.

Oh nice, a Friday deep dive early!

So no talk about clock and time?

muted mesa

they're fun. been waiting on the Prop2 for years.

#

so many processors, so little time

#

i'm tying not to fire up my Pico, too easy to drop all the esp32s2 bug hunting and play

gusty wedge
#

No, not time of flight. It uses the phase of the light to know how close something is.

simple fractal
#

so for 3d topography?

#

time keeps on ticking?

gusty wedge
#

No, it's more as a sensor itself. 3d topography does use time of flight.

#

I used one to calibrate the expansion rate of piezzos when exited.

muted mesa
#

haha. sounds even more like Propeller. "user must guard against collision". 😆

simple fractal
#

we all have time to talk about .... time

inner spade
#

There are at least two of us interested in time. And counters...

#

.....as I'm researching drones, this talk about "propeller" is messing with me 😉

sorry Bruce! 😬

muted mesa
#

off-topic: which direction you going? as you answer my question with prescience... 🤣

Is this bit stuff only for the RP2040?

Question: would you rather contributors merge their own work (once approved) or if say I do a review of Jeff's code and say yup this is fine, choose to merge it? Or wait for one of the maintainers to do it

@nova totem i challenge you to break more than I have. 😄 (like Scott said, it can be fixed...remember that)

I get paid to develop slackware, and some of the time that I used last year translating cpy was done on company time.
Also thanks to Greencore Solutions for getting me the expensive riscv64 for slackware.

hey, its snowing here in whistler. but first snow in a few weeks.

bye all - it was a blast

i am stuck here this summer, no travel. and i dont mountain bike. may be coding/pcb design time then

gusty wedge
#

Thanks, very informative, and quite cool the neopixels thingy.

simple fractal
#

i am impressed how powerful the PIO is. looks like many things will come out of it

#

has anyone done canbus (low level part) yet?

muted mesa
#

sorting on that dropdown would be extra nice, though. agreed. 😄

simple fractal
#

i mostly do this
git branch -r --sort=-committerdate

#

i guess that will work for local branches also
git branch -a --sort=-committerdate
Will show local and remote

wind spoke
#

So, you will get a few chip, the Limor will do a limited run, then she well send you an email during the stream to say they are available from shop... and you will leak that?

upper sandal
#

I'm in the starting blocks

#

what ? not even from putting a heat gun to a pico ? that's too easy ! 😄

#

or with that cute heating plate she showed

#

That was a cute plate.

Those are cool, I want to build an audiomoth like device (it's for recording nature: birds, baths, cetacea, etc)

#

sinc filters. i don't miss researching that when i briefly worked on nrf52 PDMIn.

#

DSP is such a strange land.

gusty wedge
#

Yeah, I want to get into DSP, but it's kinda hard to find something that is as easy as a cpy board, or an fpga with icestudio.

#

I'm also building guitar pedals, and knowing dsp would be quite useful. (specially because there just isn't any open hardware with dsps out there... only a couple of things)

I am good, But I am watching in my tv, and getting discord in my laptop

autumn turret
#

Good morning sir Foamy and friends

#

Looks like chat on stream is frozen, or scrolls off-screen?

ancient grotto
#

Good morning Hugo

autumn turret
#

You do need the .refresh(), at least on a mac

#

How's it going @ancient grotto ?

#

OH! Don't multiply by 0.01

ancient grotto
#

@autumn turret doing good. seeing your "progress" bar 👍

upper sandal
#

I've had to add auto_refresh = False to my magtag.set_text() calls, maybe I missed a global setting

autumn turret
#

Except for that ProgressBar type, which is for backward compatibility, they all use real values. Also, use the .value property

#

@smoky island I think your chat's locked up

ancient grotto
#

we would nite to write him in github

autumn turret
#

True

#

What's going on is good ol' floating point math

#

The other reason for value is to avoid math on non zero-to-onehundred

#

If you look at the next vertical, it does -40 to 130

#

It's part of the constructor: maximum and minimum

#

You can also do maximum and minimum of 0.0 and 1.0

ancient grotto
#

the BH1750 maybe?

autumn turret
#

Only the new ones

#

ProgressBar is a shim for the old functionality

#

It behaves differently

#

Progress is the percentage of the fill. Value is what you actually want to represent, without worrying about the scale or math

#

Lux is int

ancient grotto
#

you get floats from the sensor

autumn turret
#

So if you're making a thermometer, you don't want to set 0.245523 or whatever for 32F, you just want to do "My value is 32"

#

I tried to see if it would be workable to support updating both, but flipping the two gets tricky, since you need to calculate what the value should be if you set percentage

#

If you use progress, you'd calculate between max & min

#

We can do that. If you do .progress = 0.5, then print(bar.value), should that be updated?

#

It's tricky! I've gone over these over and over in my head

#

I'm not trying to put you under pressure or anything. It's been on my mind for ~3 weeks now, and on yours for.... 30 minutes? lol

#

What about removing the setter?

#

So you can get the ratio/percentage, but not set it, except on the new one?

#

We can also go over it some more off-stream, so you can get to other things

ancient grotto
#

for example if you need to adjust light intensity you will need the setter

autumn turret
#

You could also set the range from 0-100, or 0.0-1.0 to set your intensity, no?

ancient grotto
#

Yes, good point

autumn turret
#

or setter be private?

#

I'll investigate why the float range didn't work

#

Because it should. That was part of the plan!

pallid sail
#

"In the weeds" discussion?

autumn turret
#

^^ Good call @pallid sail

pallid sail
#

because if it is not a bad practice it could be helpful for other libraries

autumn turret
#

That's why I put in that shim, so it's a minor change. But learn guides being affected, yeah, that's a bigger point

#

No, you didn't mess it up, I 🤦 on the order of colors

#

Chat locked up again?

ancient grotto
#

Yes

#

we will ne to ping him

autumn turret
#

Sent a message. We'll see if he's in DND or something

ancient grotto
#

By the way talking about Pre-commits I get working black and pylint directly from pycharm

#

@smoky island chat is not working again

autumn turret
#

The "In the weeds" was for the imports at the bottom

clever summit
#

Just a heads up @smoky island - sound is very much lower than other channels on Youtube.

autumn turret

I'll go add it before we forget

clever summit

Just moved over from another live stream.

ancient grotto

that is good

clever summit

Still lower, but better.

yeah better, now I don't fear that my notifications will break my eardrums

I was going to do the pylint-in-pre-commit today, before SOMEONE talked about a bunch of bugs and stuff 😛

Slacking off. No projects today.

#

I saw that French is lagging behind. Need to get back into Weblate and fixup all the errors folks have been adding!

clever summit

Yeah, it's back to 95%. You could give Japanese a push when you are at it.

autumn turret
#

Sounds good. How do you say "I don't know Japanese" in Japanese?

clever summit
#

That would be 私は最もかすかな考えを持っていません?

ancient grotto

That is useful

autumn turret
#

Cool. Copy/Paste, HERE I COME! WHEE!!!

clever summit
#

Hahaha! GO FOR IT! 🙂

autumn turret
#

Pre-commit is repository based

#

Since it's a git hook

#

pre-commit uninstall

upper sandal
#

git hooks are not part of the repository are they ?

autumn turret
#

No, they're not

upper sandal
#

I believe they are not pushed or commited in any way

autumn turret
#

For example, I have a hook that checks for, and adds, an issue tracker number to my commit on my work PC. that only runs locally on the computer(s) where I have it setup

#

And now you can open ./.git/hooks/pre-commit to see the script

#

Ah, gotcha

#

Git clients I've found are not great with non-standard output from Git. SourceTree doesn't like it much, especially with color outputs. Same with GitKraken

#

It is true

#

Those hooks are jsut scripts that the system can understand. So it could be bash, python, etc

#

I think it could even be executable binaries

The ascii version is for the readthe docs in the library not intended to use on the guide, I was doing a picture this morning

Looking forward to dive into all that new stuff.

clever summit
ancient grotto

right for the docs page

upper sandal
clever summit
#

Yes, they are. More surprised they didn't do it in this one. Kinda makes me doubt they have moved all their internal use to python3.

upper sandal
#

the frequencies are mostly a matter of regulations in the place you are I believe

ancient grotto
#

The antenna lenght, maybe could be different?

#

is this library using the pulseio library?

clever summit
#

We use that module in a commercial board.

#

915 in the US.

#

433 is legal internationally.

#

We use 868 in Europe.

ancient grotto
#

I am guessing that the car auto-start that we use around here in the winter are 433 then. but 😕

clever summit
#

That would be my guess as well. I have a Ford Mustang, imported from the US to Sweden. Hope I am legal! 😎

ancient grotto
#

That is nice, I hope so🙃

#

are these AT commands? or they are from the library?

upper sandal
#

the magic of open source: I compiled my own version of tio with ctrl-A, easier to type with my small hands (and the same as screen)

#

All we hear is Radio Blinka 🎤

ancient grotto
#

Not let's do MQTT 🙂

upper sandal
#

ctrl on the thumb is much better than on the pinky. On mac we use Command, it's on the thumb too since it's next to the space bar, but it's probably not an ergonomic position (with the thumb under the palm)

autumn turret
#

Which keyboard is that? I had to step away for a bit :/

#

Ah yeah. I've looked at that one. I have a Model01 like Scott has, but it's at work :/

#

Thanks for the brief re-detour

ancient grotto
#

how many bytes is the message?

#

yes

#

not only Ardino but yes, I used that one the ESP8266

clever summit
#

Yeah, RadioHead. Just note those libraries are not for commercial use.

#

They do offer commercial licensing.

autumn turret
#

Also "Command not foun t"

#

Wasn't sure if you were working on that one or a different one, so thought I'd point it out, just in case

#

That 📋 button when you click "Clone" will copy the clone URL for you without all the clicking! 🙂

#

Line 286: Messaged

I am the other way around. I am excellent at spelling, and lousy at typing.

Oh, back in the day! Flash ftw! Hahahaha.

autumn turret
#

Yep good ol' ZeroClipboard". It's all JS and browser native now

We still need to support SilverLight at work. That means IE only now

ancient grotto

Very good... I will take a look thanks

#

to send display objects? via json?

autumn turret
#

I suspect you could @ancient grotto, like polygon information? {Shape: rect, coords: [(1,2), (3,4)], Fill: 0x554433 ...}

ancient grotto
#

I was thinking in the json display library that Foamyguy was doing to send information to a display panel

autumn turret
#

Ah, I see

#

Yes, Gorillas.bas

#

Battleship would be a good demo for this too

pallid sail
#

That gorilla game was one of the first things I played with programming

autumn turret
#

Battleship for the PyPortal: BattlePortal? PortalShip?

ancient grotto
#

battleportal I like.

upper sandal
#

the TTGO has that bootloader screen too (using tinyUF2 for ESP32S2), I believe it just needs to be enabled in the bootloader by initializing the screen maybe. It's not on the Clue though, probably the NRF52 bootloader doesn't support it yet ?

autumn turret
#

Clue

#

Or something an alternate on the Clue, like a magnifying glass

#

Also, different target audience?

#

MakeCode Arcade?

#

btw, your method names have "serail" instead of "serial" (A and I inverted)

#

and "Recevied" vs. "Received" (V and I)

clever summit
#

The first one is because it's the se-rail?

#

🙂

autumn turret
#

Maybe? I'm just trying not to de-rail the stream

#

Spell-check plugin for PyCharm?

#

(They exist, I know because I use it too much)

clever summit
#

I still need to switch to PyCharm. Not sure why I open VS Code instead.

#

I started to use VS Code just to avoid Notepad.... Then the plugins started flowing in.

#

I do need it for platform.io stuff though, so I can't just uninstall it.

autumn turret
#

@clever summit Maybe out of habit? Other ideas why, I have nun

clever summit
#

nun?

autumn turret
clever summit
#

Should spit out an error anyways?

autumn turret
#

Nun's "uniform" is called a habbit

#

So "out of habit", "nun". Bad pun

clever summit
#

Did not know that. 🙂

#

We are not a catholic country so we never see those.

upper sandal
#

it will be in the micropython modules

#

in "Micropython libraries" on the left

#

json is there too, even though it's used a lot, it's either a matter of where it sits in the source code or a decision to move it in the docs ? I don't know

clever summit

Just looks like a mismatch of the expected format at the receive end.

Not to backseat spell-check, but you have "regsiter" instead of "register" (inverted I and S)

Back in teh day, like WordPerfect 5.1, if they screwed up a feature, they had to PHYSICALLY mail out diskettes for the updates

Anyone remember the buggy MS-DOS 6 fiasco?

Basically the financial implications of "messing up" went WAY down, since the fix is just a download away

you see it real bad in vidya, where the players are the final QA

You saying that there some corner case bugs with things like Cyberpunk 2077?

Agreed

The openness and transparency is awesome

it makes it more fun i think

#

plus it's a great chance to learn

#

there will usually be someone better at what you're doing that can point out ways to be better

to be honest, it makes me want to a) support them more, and b) contribute

i was given a great idea for a new board to develop that i'll start working on there in the next month

sort of like a propmaker feather wing but more standalone with the esp32-s2

autumn turret

neat!

lilac tusk
#

yeah, i'm pretty excited about starting it

autumn turret
#

If it weren't for all this "real life" stuff happening, like moving and such, right?

#

Also, don't forget to update your shipping address with Adafruit! Don't want your orders or Adabox (if you subbed) going to the wrong place!

lilac tusk
#

it's hard to be motivated to develop new stuff where i'm at currently. i've just got a small space in this room and it kind of stifles creativity

autumn turret

Totally understandable

lilac tusk

the new office is going to be great

I wasn't sure how to spell winterization of utility infrastructure

In a letter to the PUCT, ERCOT and other agencies, I'm tempted to spell it "D-O Y-O-U-R J-O-B-!"

Sample Sunday & Mega Mailbag on the Desk of Ladyada

Oh my we got through a bunch more samples this weekend, from a slinky sensor to some new Espressif samples! Let's checkout the ESP32-C3, ESP32-S3 and even the ESP32-S2FR to learn about all the big new developments in WiFi chipsets. We've also got a demo of the Pi Pico playing some audio files, we merged support into CircuitPython this week! And ...

Recomendado para todos, el proyecto de @tiny__GS, y lo pueden montar sin necesidad de tener una agencia espacial tica carísima :þ

Solo una tiene LNA, el resto con antena ttgo.

Some might say that the C3 has nice packaging... but it's a lot more plastic than adafruit's typical packing.

Less plastic is more ❤️

the S2 also does not have enough USB endpoints for CDC2, I hope the S3 has more

I ordered a PiRTC from you for a project I'm working on and have a question about it.
It is a DS3231 PRODUCT ID: 4282, but I can't find a circuit diagram for it.
There is no reference on the product page. I would like to remove the 6 pin connector and wire it to the bottom of a Feather 328p for my Dog feed reminder I'm trying to make. Where can I get it?

#

Question for later: are there similar surface mount antennas for 915 o 433? (I'm guessing of larger size)

@open girder Maybe the antenna that @ornate coyote uses on his S2 feather?

Nope.

100 C = 212 F

didnt even feel hot

the blood flow on near your skin helps

like on thrusters dont melt on that heat

Scalding is way way below 212 F

#

Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree F water for two seconds.

The temperature of tap water should not exceed 38–45 °C (100–113 °F) to prevent discomfort and scalding.
