Not getting audio, and not sure it isn't me this time!

Windows update messed with your mute!

#

Much better! 👍

#

Pypi? or Pipy?

#

I always read it in my head as "Pie Pie"

#

Polling for touch, either 8ms or 16ms probably won't make a world of difference! How quick can someone touch something anyway!

#

Hmm, I guess like those stacking or Rubik's cube timers where you want to know ASAP when someone touched or let go

#

I guess some sort of debouncing, without the bounce

#

Do you do your Arduino driver code in Arduino, or elsewhere?

#

Slightest touch versus "mashing" it?

#

STandalone mode? Sounds like it could be fun for kids to start "playing" with

autumn turret Apr 2, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

Working on getting a bit more fluent and useful with VIm. I'm a keyboard shortcut/CLI fan, so makes sense, but some habits break hard!

#

Yeah, I've been in Visual Studio since before there was a Visual Studio, which was initially released as a "bundle" back in '98

#

or maybe '97. I forget

#

Not to backseat code-review, but setAllKeyAve() doesn't have a parameter name for uint8_t

#

I thought it might have been with the "newer" C, but from style of the rest of the file...

#

But yeah, this is a .h file, isnt it

#

I can see value in both. I learned in the pre-millenia C/C++, so it's been a minute

#

I also worked with people who were stuck in the mid 2000s for C++, rather than moving onto C++11 or others

#

Defense industry? oh yeah! I knew someone who, ~10 years ago, was at Lockheed. They were still having to support codebase written in .Net 1.0. This was after 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 which were all quite evolutionary had come out

#

Heck, even 1.1 was leaps and bounds beyond 1.0!

#

and that came out just a year later

#

On the flip side, some of the documentation that comes out can be really helpful, like coding standards in C published by NASA

#

Not a fan of switch()?

#

I guess I'm always looking for "shortcuts" or efficiencies, prematurely even at times. Like that I would have done in arithmetic because it would seem faster/cleverer

#

something like reg += 0x26 since they're all incrementing as 1. At least at a glance. But it can be more error prone to invalid inputs

#

right

#

That's quite reasonable

#

The balance of "make it work" vs. "make it learnable"?

#

Oh wow, I didn't realize you didnt' need to compile your library for Arduino. Makes sense though, in hindsight. But that's nice

#

Now all that the IDE needs is autocomplete

#

Need to add the custom board repos?

#

This? https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json

#

Had to do it recently, so had it on hand lol

#

Crazy as ever. WE had 80 yesterday, 60 today

#

Tomorrow? Typhon, tornado or blizzard

#

Yep, "all of the above" is on the bingo card

#

But in Utah, weather must be a bit more unpredictable from the mountains

#

40-50s, I'd take it

#

Don't you need to initialize it? Like "new ..." ?

#

like in setup touch = ODT42QT1070();?

#

So now setAveOnKey() should work

#

Bet it changed the COM port on you

#

*cough*;*cough*

#

You don't want to know how many times I add a ; in Python without the right prefix.... #

#

I think delay() is MS

#

time.sleep() is seconds

#

Which song?

#

I missed a minute

#

Never heard it, and only heard, as far as I know, their cover of "Sound of Silence"

#

There's a duet out there that does really gentle covers of all sorts of songs, "Renee and Jeremy"

#

Listened to them a lot when my kids were young

#

I try to. I usually play my stuff I like, or will turn on the local AAA station

#

Whatever that was, it did something to your USB for a second

#

Might have "lost" CIRCUITPY after flashing with Arduino

#

Yep, we'll have the windows open tonight for the cooler temp

#

The lake, like the cake, is a lie?

#

PASS!

#

I haven't, no

#

No, haven't played either

#

Not much of a gamer

#

It sure is taking a while to get to the drive :/

#

Mu said it spotted a new Adafruit device for a moment

#

I think OBS got confubled again

#

and now it's back

#

Might want to try 7-Zip. I thikn it's more efficient with compression than the Windows Explorer built-in

#

I'm not saying WinZip jumped the shark, but when I saw that they were a) acquired by Norton, and b) made "WinZip for Mac", well, I took a moment for reflection

#

Oh, "Mu" won't be in the usual "Program Files" directories, since you did the "Just for me" install

#

Maybe Arduino needed a day off

#

So next time, it'll work

#

G'night!

Serial/UART over BLE is not "super standard" as opposed to Serial on Bluetooth. There is a circuit python LIB that does the Nordic way. But you cannot change the UUID for another copy of serial.

At work we support 20+ languages... and many keyboard (even if we try to standardise or force people toward French / English and German).

Some keys have 5 differents special caracter, in various colour. So a Swedish will pick "purple" and know where those strange keys are.

#

Greek get their own keyboard... because of Greek.

Bulgarian get their too I guess because of Cyrilic.

At university, TTY terminal were QUERTY without arrow keys... so VI using hjkl and the key where hard. The PC 80186 were Azerty with "soft key". So for me, if the keyboard is "HARD" it must be QUERTY and if it is soft it is AZERTY. I was switching very frequently and I can type on both after a few mistake.

@haughty quiver Oops, I missed the stream live. Horizontal dilution is related to Dilution of Precision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_of_precision_(navigation) . Basically, the smaller the number, the more accurate the fix. Anything less than 2 is very good for location purposes.

Dilution of precision (navigation)

Dilution of precision (DOP), or geometric dilution of precision (GDOP), is a term used in satellite navigation and geomatics engineering to specify the error propagation as a mathematical effect of navigation satellite geometry on positional measurement precision.

When playing with virtual or actual keyboard with the HID module on RP2040, take care. The hid can swamp your computer with key input (independent of focus, thus providing input to whatever program is in focus), making it difficult/impossible to take control without unplugging the darn thing! I got my scars. But loving it.

My testimony: A couple years ago I found an arduino kit under the bed that my child had gotten 5 years prior. Now I’m writing Python code, helping build CP libraries, adding to the CircuitPython core (in C++ code) and programming USB interfaces to microcontrollers that are running custom C code. And now I can use GitHub (barely!), understand and adapt others’ code and write documentation for others to use all these cool tools.
