There’s a whole set of “easing” functions with varying motions ready for use:

Just pick another range.
autumn turret
Bonsoir @wind spoke
light stump
Maybe try a dial with sweep_angle=0.
clever summit
Looking forward to playing with those. Only have the Magtag today, kinda hard animate stuff on that. 😆
wind spoke
Those label with an angle are computed? I mean, it is not a bitmap but one of the evolution of label?
ancient grotto
Yes, bitmap_label, in vertical is coming your way 🙂
light stump
The angled text are done using the bitmaptools.rotozoom to copy (blit) a bitmap_label’s bitmap into a larger dial’s bitmap.
wind spoke
Sorry @light stump I know you (and other) have added a lot of graphical feature since weeks, but I have not really tested those yet.
ancient grotto
@light stump Do this widgets has a color theme by deafault?
I want to include this default theme for the text labels, that way it would be easier
light stump
They have defaults but no consistency between them.
I’m interested to see where your heading on the themes and what “hooks” need to be in widgets to connect to those.

Is there a needle size, to make a hour vs minute hand ... and the second hand.

360 degrees is yes. Second needle isn’t built in. Would need to be a subclass, but should be able to re-use all the code inside the existing class.
wind spoke
Overlay them...
light stump
Yep or overlay.
grand tusk
Compass would be cool.
wind spoke
So you are going to make a new year progress...
light stump
Can do 0 degrees sweep angle - for a linear dial, or 360 for full circle. If you use 0, be sure to use the clip_needle=True. Otherwise the radius is infinite!

❤️ Thanks for everything you do!
light stump
@smoky island on your livestream you showed that the dial gauge can go above/below range. Is this a “feature” or a bug we should fix?
Thinking ahead, if someone adds “bouncy” motion the dial should be able to go slightly above max/below min. Any thoughts are welcome.
smoky island
<@382939733107408897> on your livestream you showed that the dial gauge can go a...
It's an interesting question. I can see arguments for both ways. If it can go past the maximum it allows it to be used for things like Clock faces, and Compass needles because they would want to be able to spin all the way around over and over. But I'm not sure if catering to those use cases inside the Dial class is necessary. Perhaps a subclass could be used for that functionality. Beyond those use cases I lean toward thinking it should not allow the needle to move past the maximum or below the minimum (an exception could be made for the bounce effect though as I would see that as an embellishment of the UI and not an actual value being set).
I think of it like an air pressure guage. If the pressure is higher than the gauge can handle it will slam all the way to the top and then be stuck there. I would envision the software component gauge working similarly by default.
light stump
Cool. I’ll add an issue.
autumn turret
I was thinking the same thing. There can be a need for a limit, but at the same time, the option for over-rotation can also be used. When I saw the over-rotation, what came to mind was an analog altimeter on an aircraft. Every full rotation is 1000 feet, with a secondary dial (like an hour hand) as the "thousands" indicator
At the same time, if you're doing something like a tachometer, you probably don't want or need it to go passed whatever limit you have, even if you do end up rotating the engine at 50k RPM
light stump
Good idea. I’ll add an optional input parameter and it will default to keep the needle within range.
lilac tusk

Hello
autumn turret
And I just realized I was in the totally wrong channel 🤦
I don't think I should be allowed in typing places! lol
That's twice in 2 days.
I was in #help-with-hw-design
I deleted the messages, because they didn't belong
True, except for that "good evening" and "not hearing anything" type message, maybe not so much a PCB issue?"
So what's "ripple voltage"? Like variance?
What? Power company doesn't send me perfectly shaped, properly tunes sine-wave volts?
56mv doesn't seem too far off
Having that "ripple current" selection field seems handy for this, no?
That is a lot of size variations
"Would you like that in 6.2, 6.3 or 6.32mm? Great, now how wide would you like that?"
Forget it, I'll just put a dime in there or something and hope for the best!
I kept hearing a background type buzz or whirr, just realized, it's probably your 3d printer moving around!
Not a bother or antyhing, just one of those "What IS that!"
Thanks for the tour. of course you started with the computer and diploma! humblebrag 😛
You don't have it show pricing at a certain volume?
Ah, makes sense for the prototype
I guess there isn't some way you can put in the part number - manufacturer, Digi-Key, etc, and find the "right" one in the component list?
I meant within Eagle
Ok, makes sense. I'm coming in as a newb knowing nothing, so to me "If I say part X, it'll be part X" without confusion
As the person who'll be working from the design later on, as long as you understand yourself, that's a good start
Hah! I recognized the ethernet port by the colour codes
Looks nice to me
15 pages or boards? wow
I've heard of FPGAs, and lots of hype, but no idea what they can do, or their benefit
That's my own ignorance
Ah, cool. Appreciate it!
6:30ET?
Cool beans, will try to make it. That's usually around supper time, but I'll be around sooner or later during then 🙂
Thanks for the stream. I still managed to learn something despite me!
lilac tusk

i'm thankful for the viewership. I get to learn a lot too
some things i've not done before so it's a great opportunity for me to try and apply theory and make something cool 🙂

@wind spoke Like a lot of low-level chemical exposure -- a little bit of solder smoke probably won't be bad, but it can accumulate -- long-term exposure can have very nasty results. Ventilate as much as possible -- even if it's a table or ceiling fan. Open windows, etc. A n95/surgical/cloth mask isn't designed to stop chemical contaminates --- you'd want specially designed filters for that.
But something is better than nothing. It's a barrier that filters something. I had an emergency last autumn -- fight a small brush-fire before it got out of control. I donned a KN95 and it helped tremendously against random blasts of smoke.

I am using a Feather M0 LoRa along with an STM32 Nucleo board. There are 2 GPIO connections between the boards and a serial signal. The Nucleo board powers the feather from its 5V output. But I have found that if I plug in a USB cable to the feather to program it and forget to have the Nucleo powered, the feather tries to power the Nucleo via the GPIO. This burns out the GPIO pin on the Feather. Any suggested way to prevent this? I have considered a diode and a pullup resistor on the Feather but am not really fond of that idea.

it won't interfere with low-ish frequency operation, but the definition of low frequency varies.

@autumn turret You have no idea how much I've taught myself Excel for projects. I'm a field-based engineer that's been benched due to covid-risk. It's honestly amazing what you can do with it.

My current goal is to find pretty looking/well-designed spreadsheets and incorporating those design elements into my reports I've been creating.

HI Scott and all. Glad you are streaming on Thursday as I just got my Feather RP2040. So it was perfect timing.

I saw that it was in use on many Adafruit board... so I said to myself it must be useful.

What is the intended purpose of the Seesaw?
Also, Haven't had much chance to work with my Feather 2040, but now I have a neotrinkey coming, so Feather2040's old news now! lol

TinyUSB's host mode driver is pretty basic at the moment. Just simple HID

I think there is some USB Host support from this featherwing: https://github.com/wntrblm/Hostess_FeatherWing
I look at seesaw as kind of the "swiss army knife" of IO Expanders.

What, the seesaw does not run CircuitPython? 🙂

like a port expander, via a firmware on a samd21 co processor rather than a specialized chip

Q: What are/would be the major milestones to get a BT-only experience working on a CP device?

So sounds like you need CircuiterPython: Python that runs on samd09 and bootloads via I2C

Oooh, next week? Spoilers!?!??!

We need a physical clicker with configurable timing.

so is that over an HCI protocol (I'm not familiar with bluetooth, just have been trying to pair/bond my wii balance board to a raspberry pi so this is somewhat familiar)

I paused the live stream and now I'm catching up at 1.5x speed... pretty funny

So would REPL be part of the initial BT/BLE workflow, or a later enhacement?

that explanation clarifies sooo many things

Scott this is a GREAT idea and will be huge to get CP on more devices and for more people to learn to program !

Can we do BT gateaway chinese wall with BT on the AirLift and BT on the NRF52840?

Stop asking BT questions, @autumn turret - it will all be revealed next week! 🥳

in case it wasn't obvious, I'm very stoked to watch this develop and hopefully contribute!

Me too. Even bought a BT board already!

One last BT question - How do I pair my BT mouse with my BT-enabled scale? 😛
Let's go back to talking about chip storage!

The mental cost of mode switching is tough

But but... when all the microprocessor will be supported, what are you going to do?
clever summit
I bought some RT1010 dev boards when they were released.
autumn turret
Old 5.25" diskette holder/sorter for storage?
or maybe even 3.5" for the smaller ones
balmy tinsel
Or a wall mounted pegboard if you're short on space and want to be able to see all the dev boards at once?
clever summit
Yeah, they were cheap as pie!
wind spoke
Doesn't the Teensy have a proprietary part? Like the bootloader? And it is supported. Where other iMX board are "raw"? So what will be the difference for CP support?

notes the fire extinguisher I should probably follow your lead there....

Fire extinguishers and all other safety gear (glasses, n95, face shield, ear muffs, etc) are always within reach of my workbench -- zero obstructions between me and them. Never have to reach over anything to get them either (so I don't have to cross over a fire to get the extinguisher, etc).
Worked in a few places that demanded that as a policy, and I've carried forward the good habit 🙂

I routed a board with curved traces...JLCPCB rejected it...
floral adder
That's because the electrons move faster at the outside edge of the curve to the inner and may cause your board to start spinning uncontrollably

I trust Time Machine... sometimes

Time Machine is a low-effort backup that may or may not work. I trust my manual backups I do, and I trust what I move to my NAS and let it handle the backups to external drives (with dedupe, versioning, compression, etc).

yeah and Time Machine is like every hour, so you can still lose recent work

With Scott out on the slopes this evening we don't have the normal Friday CircuitPython hangout. I'll be streaming some work on some projects and libraries if anyone else is interested in hanging out. I've got to start an hour later than the usual deep dive time though. I'll post links in here when I am about to get started around 5pm central / 6pm eastern / 1 hr from now.
