oooo I like this sensor, I've had issues with all of those things having a sensor outside taking the temperature

Oh, that's u2if... very nice.

OH WOW i love the idea of that

could you use u2if to detect if certain programs/windows are active on the PC?

the ability to control IO using CPython is fun

I maybe didn't ask it correctly. Does "open source" translate to using a feather board in a commercial product?

empty swallow
#

yall are awesome

open girder
#

@cloud ginkgo yep

#

you can

restive owl

I believe so, @cloud ginkgo . You can use a feather in a commercial product in the same way you can use a resistor or pcb

that's why we do what we do

"LIFX" is pronounced "KEE CAD"

It says Water Leak Alarm? We regularly need a "feeding tube has overflowed" alarm 🙂 It's not a "someone is going to die" alarm, it's a "hey mom, I'm not getting any food - here's a text message" so it's something we are good with setting up.

That's exactly the scenario for the feeding tube overflow

well leak test could be nice for something like who build liquid cooling pc for example for the first time

back when I had swamp coolers, this water sensor would've been totally useful to let me know when the water pumped stopped working. no water means no cooling

by that @cinder wind could be useful too to get level sensor for water so if it drop on pump for certain treshold so pump dont die what are sensible if they got air instead of water

using git even when you work alone is super useful to track changes, and use branches and multiple copies of a repo to isolate the work on different features

@tame dew I've been getting 2-5 spam calls a day. And I take great pleasure in wasting their time. I have fake personas I have crafted, specifically to hit all of their "best indicators". With fake addresses that resolve to a field in the middle of nowhere, etc etc.

Dell/Microsoft/McAfee will NEVER call you. The IRS/SSN admin will never call you either.

The vacation scams and auto scams might be legit in the sense they will give you something for your money. Just a horribly bad value that's filled with lies, exaggerations, and manipulations. So they are a scam in practice.

Regarding scam calls -- the bunch of us on here are most likely savvy folks who are aware of what they are and what they're trying to do.

But let your parents know. Your grandparents. Friends. Family. Elderly neighbors. Tell them to not answer calls they don't know. To never pay anything with gift cards. To never, ever give access to their computer to these callers. Scammers hate their targets asking questions, questioning them, etc.

Even with seemingly legit calls (their actual bank calls them) -- encourage them to ask "what's your extension/case number -- I'll call the number on the back of my credit card to verify you're legit." Honest callers would be thrilled for folks doing that. Scammers will make excuses as to why that won't work.

They don't have those at Aldi?

clever summit
#

Yeah, buying a power supply is way easier if you follow the Home Automation community, they have loads of experience with different power supplies. And they all agree Meanwell is the thing.

#

We don't even have Aldi here.

#

Ah, nevermind then. For some reason, I thought they were more prevalent around Europe

#

Tesco?

clever summit
#

No Tesco. And yes, Aldi is all around Europe. Not around here though.

#

Ah, I see

Aldi is in Europe?!

That is what the Home Automation guys tells me, seems they have cheap RGB bulbs.

Last I checked, Aldi here sells nothing like that...

Looks out of sale now... And the US site has no search

Ah, wait, looks like they do or did sell them in US stores!

Desk of Ladyada - Auto-generating detailed pinout diagrams & an RP2...

This week's Desk of Ladyada is a little light on hardware, as we spent some of the weekend outside and the rest on some software hacking! We used to get very nice pinout diagrams made for our boards by a fellow named Pighixxx. They ended up doing a crowdfunding project that didn't work out and they stopped replying to emails. We like having pino...

Is it possible for me to add a bundlefly link to the Readme for my MagTag project on GitHub? Or at least a link for just the MagTag libraries?

gusty wedge
#

I love it when somebody makes something so good, that it pushes the bar for everyone else. Now every board at least tries to copy this style in their docs, and that great.

#

@upbeat matrix will ask ladyada after this segment

#

(pretty sure it's code on learn.adafruit.com since we batch it out each night, but we have/had a script that does it too)

upbeat matrix

(pretty sure she mentioned it on an issue a few months ago but maybe this is different)

gusty wedge
#

That is so cool. I'd like to add if I can, support so that it can read the info from Blinka. (well, PythonPlatformDetect, that has the latest riscv boards)

I definitely needed this to start upping my documentation

That's really neat.

Absolutely.

That’s super cool .. can it also show PWM capable pins ? I know it’s usually marked on the pcb.. but also on the diagram? Possibly even what pins are “interrupt” ?

shell mason
#

AR from the pinout could be great right

gusty wedge
#

What happens with chips that have, I think some call it a "matrix" where pins can be configured in any place. (the new chips on the beaglev for example, but I think esp do it as well)

Thanks for the Zoom .. couldn’t make our the PWM row !!!

the twitch is busy today

huh, i think it's a raid of sorts

#

as in, a lot of folks just going to a random live stream

gusty wedge
#

The ones I have are also quad, so it's nice for playing with staging, for example for emulating "tube" sound in amps. Lovely FET.

how about using circup, which already knows how to find bundle libs, to make a project bundle ?

shell mason

some said it was raid on twitch chat

Can't wait to see what comes of out of this great search. I don't have popcorn to enjoy this :).

Hello. (some electronic components are irresistible)

LOL indeed. also got a DVI breakout... what was I thinking? Usually there is a project in mind.

In my workshop there are two paths to any project, planned and unplanned. You're just prepared for the unanticipated project.

Lars, when you read in Monsters Health Journal to eat more fiber, it didn't mean to digest fibre optic cabling.

Hi!

I've been having a lot of PC issues recently myself so I more than understand

what's your favourite keyswitch?

open question for everyone, also curious on JP's answer

I don't have a favorite keyswitch ... yet

I've only ever used Cherry Blues, I have like, 70 stocked right now

I love me some Cherry MX Speed.

(literally just 70 blues lying around)

@clear matrix I just got a Keychron C1 with reds 🙂

clear matrix

I have none lying around. Also, current keyboard is low profile, the switches for which are apparently not available to simply purchase. At least the last time someone looked into it.

Speed are Silvers. They're basically Reds with a shorter actuation point.

Keep Lars away from your computer! 😄

I got 70 initially with a Drop Alt, most of them are in the keyboard, but I ordered 70 more with the Kalih sockets

#

so I can add the keys to my circuits

Just picked up the last 9 available...

I picked up a few when I could, added a couple other things and I'm happy for that order, although it's very expensive
