I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to load firmware into the RP2040 and couldn't find any tutorials. Then I found out that you literally just copy code over using file manager and it just runs. Pffft. Copy circuit python onto it. Edit python with mu, save it, it runs. Pfffft. Too easy.

@noble grove I'd have to check the source to say for sure, but I think generally no -- we grab pin change interrupts, then "figure out" the quadrature change in software. so it's okay for human-operated encoder knobs but not so good for a servo motor for instance

you're missing {} for format
manic vessel
Afternoon everyone.
Slight tangent (doesn't help with height)
Instead of
print("Some text {}".format(an_integer))
Just do
print("Some text", an_integer)
You only need to use format() if you are getting fancy.
grand tusk
Why not print(f"{n}")?
manic vessel
f-strings aren't supported on all builds, especially the really small ones like QT PY
BTW. I really like using f-strings when at all possible.

nice cat!

that, and if you don't need formatting a , is simpler than {} (and takes table["stuff"] better)
if you just print("Height:", height)

Good morning friends and weblate gang
What's the parent "if" condition?
When using line count for width
Going well, thanks. How are you doing?
I see "RTL" and "LTR". Could the width have been using the line count for vertical languages?
If not the language, maybe display orientation?
Make sure you test the labels with characters that have ascenders and descenders
like "t" and "g"
"The quick brown fox..."?
autumn turret
Or use the "rotation" property like in the "graphics" library?
Or have an enum (faked) for an orientation property
I'll try to find the right library. It's the one used by Magtag/PortalBase
Enum are not natively support by CP\
I have an example in ProgressBar
Sorry, first link is the "Rotation" property in the Graphics library. Second is my implementation of "enum"
If you make the two orientation values the same, it adds entertainment value when trying to figure out why one of them is not working, and then a solid "are you kidding me???" when you realize the issue 3 hours later
That's why I made a separate class for the values
Just a touch of assert()?
orientation in [self.VERTICAL, self.HORIZONTAL] ...
severe vigil
Could you please give a 10 second recap of what you're making?
autumn turret
Ultimately, there's a million different ways to do it (give of take 999,999). As long as it conveys the message, and is relatively consistent on a per-library basis
Heya @severe vigil
Worry more about what you want to display, as opposed to the minutia of how to make it go exactly where you want it to
and make it consistent
This library is very reminiscent of WPF and XAML. I guess a lot like Android also does?
severe vigil
Hi! (great to be back)

Tedious, and you have to redo if you change display size.

Hello @autumn turret
autumn turret
Oh, pre-commit makes changes to the file on disk
So you have unsaved changes, and pre-commit made changes
Something to consider for "too many arguments", might be using tuples for position and size, like (x,y), (width, height)
Ignoring is an option too
As long as the usage is consistent within the library
Or have 2 __init__() declarations, one with singles for compatibility, and one with tuples for forward-going usage
severe vigil
"singles" is this a custom type or a variable argument input?
autumn turret
As for the cats fighting, have you tried doping them up with catnip?
Just putting ideas out there to spur discussion

Not an important question, but if you're looking for one - the NRF52840 Feather Express has the space in the center as a debug port... the Sense uses it for sensors (which is great but adds cost)... any chance an update to the express or another version replaces the debug w/a STEMMA QT?

Hard disagree to lowered standards--I've gotten to watch a ton of people improve the world around them thanks to arduino, raspberry, mirco/circuit python, etc. Improving the world around you, no matter the means, is always a step forward. If it's a step away from elitism, maybe that's good.

Q: What do you think about converting a air fryer to a reflow oven instead of a toaster oven/hotplate (I have a cheap one just sitting there tempting me and I think the blower might help)

@pearl shoal I wonder about how is the wind velocity inside one of those air fryers?

I'm sure it can be regulated, right?

Sounds interesting, you may need to do something about the flux fumes blowing out the exhaust. Otherwise it seems like it is more or less a convection oven.

Question for the show: The Gameduino 3X Dazzler — I appreciate the heads up you can’t use a stacking header — Thoughts on if you could get a AirLift (breakout) to the pins near the header ? I wanted to get it connected to Adafruit IO.. wait for the Adafruit “DVI” breakout ?

Is it easily possible to change the picture on a matrix display over wifi, from windows running a easy custom app ?

Hello and thanks. I'm looking to make a Cameo broach using this display and was wondering what hardware you managed to get it to run under MP/CP.
Q2, is there a way to fade one image in oder to show an image under it?
@cinder wind I'm looking at maybe the QTpyand the GC9A01
cinder wind
<@!352910176736772096> I'm looking at maybe the QTpyand the GC9A01
Q1: For QT Py M0 you'll need to add the 2MB flash chip to tun it into the "QT Py M0 Haxpress": https://circuitpython.org/board/qtpy_m0_haxpress/ If you have the QT Py RP2040, it'll work straight away.
Q2: No clue about fading between images. My locket code just swaps between images, and that takes a while since it's done over I2C (actually SPI, not I2C, my mistake) https://github.com/todbot/CircuitPython_GC9A01_demos/blob/main/examples/gc9a01_picture_locket.py
