So I have a hard limit of 3x USB 2.0 webcams (Logitech C920) per controller. And that hurts anything else that's USB 2.0, like keyboards, mice, video capture, etc

I'm still working on wrapping my head around how Python deals with inheritance. Particularly multiple inheritance, and how to call methods by the same name in a base class

light stump Mar 13, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

For some reason I was getting an error when I tried to specify super(Widget,self).__init__(**kwargs). I left it like this and it seemed to call Widget (maybe the first superclass if nothing is specified). Maybe y'all can figure out a clearer way that works in CP.

autumn turret Mar 13, 2021, 4:32 PM

I come from a C# background, so a lot like Java

ancient grotto Mar 13, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

Give each button it's own space, with a 1-2px margin between each

#

So the button has its size, the image is centered horizontally and vertically in the button's space, and the label takes up a little extra space below. I guess like the bounding box?

light stump Mar 13, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

In the SwitchRound I added an optional touch_padding input variable. The code takes that input to tweak the touch_boundary to add an extra padding space around the widget.

autumn turret Mar 13, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

Exactly wha tI was thinking @light stump The text label's the one outlier

#

Once this is done, it might be possible to make this project adjustable to different sized displays. Like with the Stream Desk with their different sizes

#

Or the button controls in their own display group, with other elements on another part of the screen

#

And combined with a CyberDeck on a Pi400, that opens up a tonne of possibilities for use

#

It would be nice to have a dedicated "back" button to go up a layer. With a StreamDeck, you can't get around that

#

From the first/main screen, have a button that opens a second layout/screen (1 level down). Like a directory structure. On a StreamDeck, to go up a level, you need a back button, and that back button MUST be part of your layout. With a dedicated "built in" back button, you can get to use all the slots without worry

#

The top layer can be a regular layer, with "real" buttons

#

Exactly!

grand tusk Mar 13, 2021, 5:09 PM

ancient grotto Mar 13, 2021, 5:13 PM

Mainly it’s a rolling release distribution. That means it’s more consistently up to date than something like Ubuntu. Out of the box it has less preinstalled (which I like) but it means that you need to know what you want to use (kde vs gnome for example).

I call this episode of the stream "Ready Layer 1"

#

I missed the last little bit since I was making lunch for the kiddos, but this is looking really slick!

#

And just thinking through things, adding that to the library won't be too big an impact on size, since the devices it would get used on would have more memory, right?

#

Otherwise, if the library gets too sizeable for device memory, I guess the non-base widgets could get their own library?

clever summit So next step is to mentally move fully to ISO and use 24 hour time?

Nah, time to go metric. Where-ever we got this 12/24 hour thing (Phoenicians I think?), it's time to upgrade. It's time (hah!) for Internet Time!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

Swatch Internet Time

Swatch Internet Time (or .beat time) is a decimal time concept introduced in 1998 by the Swatch corporation as part of their marketing campaign for their line of "Beat" watches.
Instead of hours and minutes, the mean solar day is divided into 1000 parts called ".beats". Each .beat is equal to one decimal minute in the French Revolutionary decima...

@autumn turret Obviously Base 12 is superior in every way to Base 10 and if we had just one extra finger per hand, we'd be on it already.

Feast your eyes on Base 60 also:

#

way (way) ((way way)) better than Base 10 which is good at nothing but five-fingered people's finger counting.

Neat! I just picked up an old toaster oven from the thrift store to try out surface soldering with paste. I've never done anything other than through hole.

#

There is a version description dialog or something like that showing on the screen. But it seems like your mouse is interacting with something else.

#

Good now 🙂

#

Yep

#

I don't have anything specific in mind yet. I've got a couple little surface mount neopixels and breakouts to practice on first. After that I'll probably try the flash chip on a QT Py or something else relatively basic.

Question for the show: if I remember correctly,Adafruit contributed to the (amplitude shift Keying) / RH_ASK / RadioHead Ardunio library—two part question do you plan on releasing the code for Raspberry Pi Pico and the other part of the question is how hard is it to get a working Ardunio library like RH_ASK to Raspberry Pi Pico?

I was hopeful I could have a Metro Mini talking to a Raspberry Pi Pico over the air with A.S.K.

Hi...question...Do you recommend the Analog Devices dev boards for building real products--DigiKey carries many of their DSP dev boards in addition to the 5413 that you featured (a little price though)? Would be great if you carried breakout boards for higher-end audio DACs and DSPs. Analog Device DSP's are fun to develop with given the free SigmaStudio app -- and integrate great with your feathers.

Good question. I'm not sure actually. One challenge with that approach would be matching up touch event locations with the large image to figure out which icon within it was pressed. As it is now, each icon is it's own object and that object makes use of some new helpers in the displayio_layout library to handle the touch event checking.

We do intent to look into images in RAM vs. OnDiskBitmap to look for ways to speed it up though. And I know there is work going on in the core to make bitmap loading faster so I think we'll gain some speed from that once it's all integrated.

The Miami (PCB Vice) by chickey

This is a nice simple PCB Vice that does take up a lot of space. It does not need a huge print bed so should fit on most printers.
I have included a tall version but in all honesty thing this would be overkill, it would allow you to get a lot of ballast in there to weigh it down though.

light stump Mar 20, 2021, 3:52 PM

Back. Yep, the display.auto_refresh = False is a good way of holding the refreshes while doing a bunch of drawing.

Downside is that means the function needs to have access to the variable display

So... What IDE should I use for CircuitPython? I used VS Code previously, but that one did not like it when the firmware crashed, I lost the firmware I was working on at several occassions.

ancient grotto Mar 20, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

I use Vscode + Tio terminal and just import the code that I am testing

light stump Mar 20, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

Dealing with display and refresh at the user code is ok. But that will limit the ability of the widgets to do animations.

ancient grotto Mar 20, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

But I do not use the terminal built-in in the vscode, I have alot of problems with ubuntu with that

clever summit Mar 20, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

I do have a license for all of Jetbrain's IDE's. I would prefer to save the files on my local disk, and get the IDE to copy the file over.

light stump Mar 20, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

For examples, sometimes animations require to fill with blanks and then redraw something. If an auto_refresh randomly hits between the blank fill clear and the redraw it can cause the screen to flash.

clever summit Mar 20, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

Also; I have put VSCode on my hate list because by default it does not prompt for saving files when you exit. 🙂

#

No, it saves the file contents, not just to the actual file you are editing.

light stump Mar 20, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

Yep, so the animations will require access to display to manage the auto_refresh.

clever summit Mar 20, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

So when you open it again, the contents are there. AS IF you actually saved it. So....

#

So, leads to endless debugging sessions just because you actually forgot to save the file.

#

<rant>And this is as I said the default behaviour. And when you search the settings for "save" when you want to change it, they named it "hot exit" just to make absolutely sure you can't find the stupid setting.</rant>

For rotozoom, if you want centered rotation it's sometimes easier to arrange everything relative to the center of both bitmaps (so ox,oy is center of the destination and px,py is center of source bitmap)

Yep, interesting stuff.

Cool. Scale by math.sqrt(2) if you want a complete diagonal.

#

The rotozoom float scaling is good for fonts (I used this in Dial).

#

Both up and down!

#

In the rotozoom, I think it converts the type from float to int. I don't exactly know how the type conversion does the rounding. It may round to the nearest even number. I need to revisit that and see if it can be more predictable with rounding.

How about antialiasing?

light stump Mar 20, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

This algorithm was from some ancient Amiga computer code from folks that were doing all kinds of cool conversions and trying to do it fast with limited processor and RAM capability (kinda like what we're trying to re-learn even today).

Oh, you mean the knowledge I had back then. 🙂

No antialiasing right now. I know that jepler mentioned wanting to look at that. I think that antialiasing will require some other palette tweaking/additions at the same time.

I wish I had an Amiga back in the day. I started with my brother teaching me about the Commodore 64 and the Amiga was like a dream.

I started out on the C64, but I did get around to move to Amiga eventually.

Which library are you using for the touch screen?

#

Adafruit_STMPE610_SPI causes a hard crash when I initialize it.

Just guess how many tricks you had to use on a 1 MHz processor where you tried to synchronize your code with the electron beam on the TV display just to switch a register at the exact pixel point.

I'll add a delay, see if it helps.

You need to move your microphone so it doesn't pick up the vibrations from your typing. I have the sound connected to my WiFi system, and the bass comes out really good.

Just put it on a squishy surface.
