It's this in "Purple": https://www.sainsmart.com/products/all-colors-tpu-flexible-filament-1-75mm-0-8kg-1-76lb I got it on Amazon though.

The other filament is Sainsmart as well, Kaoss Purple is the color. It printed really nicely. Hopefully this does too!

I want to use the capacitive soil sensor. But what I want to do is have several of them on a Circuit Playground. So I would want to have up to eight of these. OK, I only have four possible addresses, but I can use a seesaw to expand the address space. But how do I "daisy chain" one to another? Or do you have a simple "extension cord" breakout (I couldn't find one) that allows me to plug in one Stemma and take off several more connectors?

[autumn turret]

If you want to change that setting locally, to name the main branch "main" by default, use this in the command line to tell git to do so:
git config --global init.defaultBranch main

QUESTION FOR THE SHOW: Inspired by Apple’s neatness routing a Ethernet cable to the power brick … with Grove / Qwiic taking off well for I2C.. would it be a horrible idea if all of the Industry went with a 10 pin PicoBlade to route i2C & SPI and TX/RX ?… Qwiic to PicoBlade adaptors could bridge the transition….

Once wide adoption we can use just 1 wire for all sensors / breakouts etc

Will Adafruit be making any Linux-capable boards in the near future? What would be the biggest hurdles for design and/or manufacturing?

Wait, you could use a Pico/RP2040 as a full keyboard controller

[proven crow]

Well, I know @rapid hornet is working on porting CP to the Pi4 natively: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/4314

[frail oracle]

Also, did you guys get to watch the Startship SN15 flight today? So awesome!!! 😆

[turbid hill]

If you have a suggested pcb change where do you submit it

[frail oracle]

Yay space indeed 🙂

Oh dang

[waxen thistle]

Thanks @open girder for another awesome evening of shows! Thanks to everyone for sharing, making, creating, and building a better world 🌎

[mellow thunder]

@frail oracle was gonna watch it later, they stick the landing?

[haughty quiver]

Yay team!

I forgot to ask my question

Oh well

Whoa... Im actually in time to catch this week!

and it's an hour later! LOL

[haughty quiver]

haha, sorry! Catastrophic computer failure made me do it

[shell mason]

Park need new workshop PC

[empty swallow]

another catastrophic failure?

[teal river]

I'll be about to join too! :D

But you should build a new computer :P

[haughty quiver]

Yes, the fix I did on the iMac Pro wasn't enough -- if all went south about 45 minutes ago, so I'm swapping my MBP in .

[teal river]

Oof

[empty swallow]

sorry to hear that

[haughty quiver]

No worries, it's another fun set of problems to solve!

[teal river]

Ultimate solution: shiny new M1 iMac XD

[empty swallow]

I've been having PC issues and I'm not finding the issues fun the third time around

[teal river]

When in doubt, build new computer... That's what I do

Or buy one in the case of Apple :P

[waxen thistle]

Lars, stop building a nest ontop the CPU heatsink.

[teal river]

Lol

[shell mason]

hey think of workshop pc what look like fit for workshop

Let's do the Timewarp again....

[teal river]

I need to learn Python DX

[autumn turret]

Best way to learn is to do! That's how I'm doing it

[glossy void]

Circuit PySec

[teal river]

I plan to do this!

[autumn turret]

I find that I have something happening when I see smoke

[lavish patrol]

Lol

[teal river]

I do have the Pi Pico!

[cinder wind]

Pi Pico is a great board to try out CircuitPython on

[autumn turret]

Blinka!

[grand tusk]

Is this your board?

[teal river]

I need you learn fast, I bought 10 of the Pico without realizing it wasn’t C/C++ based, lol

[autumn turret]

If you want to pick a board that has support for a given library built-in: https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/6.2.x/shared-bindings/support_matrix.html

[cinder wind]

you can totally program Picos in C/C++. The official Pico SDK is C-based. And there's an Arduino core now, which is C++

[teal river]

Ah! Well, I can do both then!

[glossy void]

@teal river doctor - w3schools.com has a pretty quick python tutorial.

[worn flicker]

Pico C/C++ SDK is here: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/raspberry-pi-pico-c-sdk.pdf

[teal river]

W3schools good

somehow suspecting adabox018 will involve a FunHouse, maybe...

[autumn turret]

Also effective to make sure you can close the garage door

[lavish patrol]

Dad used to put a brick under the front wheel, so the car would stop just short of the wall. Unfortunately, the brick slowly crept forward each time he nudged it.

[grand tusk]

Amazing how little code it takes to make a useful gadget.

[teal river]

How about having a sensor on the side towards the back to tell you if you’re far enough in?

[lavish patrol]

@haughty quiver 👍

My work here is done.

[teal river]

Godspeed!

I have no idea what the bloops sound like

Forever unknown

Close enough for government work

[lavish patrol]

The Bloops shall be known.

[teal river]

Maybe one day

[grizzled wadi]

Here is my garage automation using the new ATMegaZero ESP32-S2 + the ATMegaZero Relay Shield. All coded with CircuitPython 🙂

Here is the stack controlling the garage system

[teal river]

@autumn turret ^

[autumn turret]

W.O.W.!

[grizzled wadi]

https://circuitpython.org/board/atmegazero_esp32s2/

[autumn turret]

That's so cool, great job @grizzled wadi!

[grizzled wadi]

Thanks

I also added a auto close sequence to prevent leaving my garage opened overnight by mistake

[autumn turret]

I love that you were able to get it all working from AdafruitIO page.

[grizzled wadi]

It gets activated past x time, let's say 11pm. And it will automatically close the doors if it's safe to do so, but it first give me gives me time to take action.

[autumn turret]

That's brilliant. I have a "smart" garage door, but the notifications get lost in the sea of others, so I've accidentally left the door open overnight a few times

[cinder wind]

@grizzled wadi how do you get CircuitPython on a ATmega32U4? but the specs say ESP32-S2? I am confused

[grizzled wadi]

Yeah, I'm going to keep building on it. Not sure if you saw the data on it. I have a sensors shield that tracks a lot of data for me from the garage.

[autumn turret]

With the door between the garage and the house unlocked 😨

I saw that, like temps too. Just so 🤯

[grizzled wadi]

No, This is for the new version that is currently on GroupGets.com crowdfunding 🙂 https://groupgets.com/campaigns/936-atmegazero-esp32-s2

It will be out soon

It will ship with CircuitPython

[teal river]

SoonTM

[cinder wind]

Got it. So the links on circuitpython.org are going to the wrong page. haha, got me!

[grizzled wadi]

I know, I launch the campaign after

I will update it

[autumn turret]

Same

[grizzled wadi]

Sorry about that. I will create a PR to fix it

[autumn turret]

Awesome. That's looking like a really nice board, and certainly packs an impressive feature set!

[grizzled wadi]

thanks Hugo

[autumn turret]

You'll never guess what I found this morning when I got in the garage to take the kids to school 🤦

[grizzled wadi]

LOL, your garage doors opened?

[autumn turret]

ZOMG!!! How'd you guess???

[grizzled wadi]

Because of my last comment and you replied to it.

[autumn turret]

You'd think after discussing it I would have had the sense to double check it. You'd think...

But apparently, I didn't!

[grizzled wadi]

Well, I have good news for you: I'm about to upload the entire project to github. You can use any Circuitpython boards or any relay for that matter. I used my own products but just modify it to fit your needs.

Here is the link to the project, but I haven't uploaded the code yet. https://github.com/eddieespinal/ATMegaZero_Garage_Automation_Circuitpython

Give me a few minutes and i'll have the code pushed

[grizzled wadi]

It happens man. That's why I'm building this for myself too.

[grizzled wadi]

@autumn turret I pushed the codes, let me know if you get to use it or have any questions

[autumn turret]

That's so awesome of you! Thanks 🙂

[rapid hornet]

Let's not assume government work is subpar. There are lots of folks who try their hardest working for the government

[teal river]

This is true... In any organization that seems lazy, there's always someone working their butt off and doing the best possible job! Just an old expression I picked up from my dad

In reality I think it's less that government work is subpar and more that in some cases, bureaucratic red tape ends up making government agencies trying to do things trip over themselves

[rapid hornet]

Sometimes old expressions need to be retired 🙂

[teal river]

Old habits die hard… but often things worth doing aren’t easy

I had a pull request that got merged this week.

[teal river]

I’m disassembling a loft bed and trying not to die in the process

[waxen thistle]

I've been revisiting my audio setup --- was able to get a GoXLR on the cheap, so now redoing my mics and whatnot.

[clever summit]

Had to fire a consultant and do the job myself. Bah.

Adafruit job question… are jobs AT Adafruit on a particular page, or would they be on jobs.Adafruit.com along with not-at-Adafruit jobs?

[simple fractal]

So we had all the weather today. Sun, Rain, Hail. Only missing snow for the win.

[teal river]

Ohhh, I didn’t realize Adafruit was in NY

They should improve the setting, maybe grabbing the screen they use in the Melbourn meetup.

[upper sandal]

ah that's why he hasn't been reacting to the pyserial stuff

[wind spoke]

Does Adafruit maintain a count of the collective time from their paid work on CircuitPython core?

[upper sandal]

(I mean dan, being on vacation)

[teal river]

Yay vaccinated!

[autumn turret]

That's a swanky looking cup Scott!

[teal river]

Yay fast!

[wind spoke]

Is celebrating getting vaccinated like a "I voted" message. Because it also hurt those that could not yet. 😦

[waxen thistle]

I'd think not @wind spoke. We need to bring acceptance that being vaccinated is an absolute major component for a return to normal. This is 2021 -- celebrating via social media is an effective way to get that message out. Sends the right message to those we care about.

Very well said 🙂

[wind spoke]

So it is like "I voted" and some people are not in a democracy. 🙂

[teal river]

Oh yeah, I feel SO lucky to have gotten both doses a few weeks ago. No shame if you couldn't get vaccinated yet, but yay if you can!

[clever summit]

I am scheduled for wednesday. And I agree - point being that folk should get vaccinated when it's their turn.

[eager matrix]

My take is it's irresponsible to not get it unless you have a medical reason to not.

[gusty wedge]

Here in 🇨🇷 we are way behind. My dad just got his two, and that's it. But we are happy to know when other people, in other places get it. It should be celebrated, and it does not affect us in any way other than making us happy.

(we have "India" numbers here)

[autumn turret]

I know he's not for everyone, but John Oliver did a good segment about why folks should get it, and debunking myths and going over other pro and con arguments

[eager matrix]

It's tough here because I'm on the Canadian border and they don't have enough and the new wave there that is pretty bad. Like a mile away.

[autumn turret]

Yeah, a few days ago

[simple fractal]

Yes i had my first dose of Moderna about a month ago. In canada we are using the get one shot to as many people as possible. Supposedly its starting to accelerate now with large incoming shipments

[teal river]

I live with my parents and do a lot around the house, and because they're both at risk, I was in an advanced group. Got mine only a couple days after them because i had to go on the weekend

[autumn turret]

For anyone interested: https://youtu.be/gPHgRp70H8o

[simple fractal]

Yes, good show.

[waxen thistle]

Just a friendly heads up -- as much as I agree with Oliver's message and love his presentation, some of his comments and language may not be suitable for all ages 🙂

[eager matrix]

@teal river same. I get to take my mother out for Mother's day.

[simple fractal]

Well i learnt bad words pretty young 🙂 and now i'm too old to care

[teal river]

Lol

[gusty wedge]

Translated to spanish as well 🙂

[eager matrix]

Jon O is on HBO.

[wind spoke]

I was worried about speed of interpreted language. Especially for math... and then I discovered ulab!

[gusty wedge]

And yes, I use CircuitPython to introduce people to programming and to cpython.

[grand tusk]

ah, math.

[waxen thistle]

oooo, i'll have to catch that stream

I hope the vod is available later

[left topaz]

Hello everyone!

[teal river]

Chip shortages probably will get worse before getting better... And will be a thing for a while

[simple fractal]

copper is now at its highest price ever. wonder what that will cause

[gusty wedge]

Go and watch Lady Ada in the Great Search, where they find replacements to chips that could or are in shortage.

[wind spoke]

Chip shortage also mean I have time to play with all I have without ordering anything new!

[simple fractal]

lol

[gusty wedge]

I'm stocking vacuum tubes, but that has nothing to do with the shortage 🙂

[timid plover]

I tried to share the link to the crowdsupply video - maybe it was censored ?

[autumn turret]

But you're also stocking RISC-V products

[waxen thistle]

I'm well prepared for the chip storage. I have a storage shelf filled with doritos, thick-cut sour cream & onion, and fritos deep scoop.

[gusty wedge]

Actually, it's kinda the sub-theme of the great search from now on.

[waxen thistle]

give me a sec, looking into it

Crowd supply video: https://youtu.be/EGkrReSjwxI?t=297

[gusty wedge]

Those are in heavy use. One riscv box is on load 12 (it only has 4 cores), and the other one on load 4 (with just 2 cores).

[wind spoke]

nRF9160 ?

[teal river]

TSMC is currently at 100% capacity, and they've had issues with power, water, and other utility outages, causing loss of product, meaning shorter supplies

[gusty wedge]

(let me freak everyone) As long as there is no UV paint/ shortage....

[clever summit]

I have spent hours undoing changes tonight. Thank God for GIT....

[wind spoke]

Yeah, how to start with TinyLogicFriend?

[tame dew]

Git history has saved me from many a stupid keyboard session

[light stump]

👋

[waxen thistle]

Tiny logic friend! I remember that stream 🙂

[gusty wedge]

I still don't have a handle on git rebase. The other day scott did one, but I forgot on which video :(...

[autumn turret]

Same with TI, especially with the fun Texas weather situation a short while ago

[timid plover]

thanks @light stump !

[autumn turret]

"thank you to @light stump "

[light stump]

🙏

[waxen thistle]

@light stump It's awesome you're helping bring test tools to everyone.

[gusty wedge]

I read they had to dump a bunch of material that was in mid process, costing a bunch of money...

[teal river]

Ah, didn't catch that -- I watch TSMC in the PC space

Also I lost my iPhone and it's on muuuuute

[autumn turret]

Heard the same thing. Materials that went to waste mid-production, no-longer-clean rooms, etc

[smoky island]

🎉 That is looking really nice! Thanks for all the work on that @light stump

[autumn turret]

"Find my iPhone" should be able to ring even on mute

[light stump]

And super helpful opinions!

[timid plover]

@light stump - any interest in #tigard testing ?

[teal river]

FOUND IT I am dumb

[light stump]

Challenge is really compiling sigrok/PulseView. If anyone is willing to figure out building that, then I’m eager for testers!

[teal river]

didn't have a compatible device available for FindMy, lol

[light stump]

Maybe it’s easier to build on Windows than MacOs but should be do-able on all platforms.

[teal river]

I sat it on a box in the hallway XD

[upper sandal]

it only takes going to icloud.com I believe

[light stump]

Yep once merged then Sigrok will have binaries to download, so much easier to use.

[tame dew]

I once “lost” my AirPods. Bought new ones… the originals were under my bed.

[clever summit]

Very effective way to find lost stuff is to buy a replacement.

[waxen thistle]

Why buy one when you can have two at twice the price!

[light stump]

Definitely, if you have an Cortex M4 board around I’d love to have you test it out.

[grand tusk]

Is there a summary of USB endpoints/ supported by various boards? Do any have USB audio?

[upper sandal]

disabling USB devices allows to win back USB endpoints to enable new ones (like the second serial on chips with a small amount of endpoints)

[waxen thistle]

What I'm very surprised by the apple trackers is that they use a coin cell battery. One of the things that turned me away from the original Tile was a sealed, non-replaceable battery.

So kudos to apple for thinking about that.

[tame dew]

https://www.ifixit.com/News/50145/airtag-teardown-part-one-yeah-this-tracks

[grand tusk]

thanx

[waxen thistle]

I really like ifixit's approach -- how can I not enjoy a group that rips off "voided warranty" stickers with reckless abandon? 🙂

[light stump]

If you want to track the TinyLogicFriend and sigrok progress, follow this PR https://github.com/sigrokproject/libsigrok/pull/137.

[upper sandal]

it's not on by default

[waxen thistle]

hahaha, we're a bad influence on scott 😛

[simple fractal]

well given that warranty voided stickers are not enforceable then i guess they are safe 🙂

[upper sandal]

there are erase UF2 in the tinyUF2 repo at least

[autumn turret]

But if not just CircuitPython has that board info, that means that anyone could use it. ANYONE!

[wind spoke]

Since you have code in the core to deal with LED "animation", should there be a Python interface to trigger that from user space?

[tame dew]

My feather with the crushed status LED. 😩

[teal river]

How did it get crushed? D:

[grand tusk]

Real reason for the chip shortage.

[timid plover]

Scott - where are you reading comments ( besides Discord and youtube )?

[tame dew]

FeatherM4. The little one next to the mounting holes lost the battle with standoffs. But “There is another”

[timid plover]

ah 🙂

[teal river]

I have damaged my arm and am bleeding DX curse you frail biological frame!

[upper sandal]

but can a UF2 app do that ?

[nova totem]

woo my Adabox just got delivered in time for the weekend, and I guessed what it may be! (no spoilers don't worry)

[digital crescent]

I want to know what's in Adabox! Send me a personal message.

[clever summit]

No Adabox delivery to Sweden.... 😢

[wind spoke]

There should be a guide or list or big warning on board that have special way to move to firmware update mode, or require special trick.

[upper sandal]

I thought UF2 could have "apps", like you write them to the OTA partition, and run it, withouth screwing with the bootloader or Circuitpython

the Seeeduino Xiao has no LED

but

[teal river]

All of my RP2040 boards have no LED because they are Pi Pico

[upper sandal]

wait I might be wrong

[cinder wind]

This month's AdaBox is a bag of 64 NeoTrinkeys

[teal river]

Oh!

I misunderstood

... wait, yeah, I'm dumb, I did blink on a Pico, lol

[autumn turret]

with 63 switches, and 62 keycaps?

[wind spoke]

Now Adafruit need to sell octopus USB HUB.

[waxen thistle]

Hmm, a keycap grab bag.

[autumn turret]

Sorry, that was last week! lol

[grand tusk]

surplus black masks

[upper sandal]

I was wrong, the Xiao has no reset button, but it has an LED

[tame dew]

Actually I now realize it is the charging LED that was crushed…

[teal river]

What was the page to get started in CircuitPython?

[wind spoke]

Also need to sell a bag with all the various kind of key strenght, to decide what click we like.

[upper sandal]

key makers do key-testing keyboards like that

[timid plover]

https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-essentials

[teal river]

Cherry MX Blue-style is best

[teal river]

Thanks!

[waxen thistle]

mechanical keys are a rabbit hole....a very expensive rabbit hole

[wind spoke]

Years ago, I collected keyboard. Then when running out of space, I only have only saved the strange/unusual keycap.

[waxen thistle]

I just got a keychron C1 with red keys, and I'm now wanting their low-profile K3 with Orange.

[upper sandal]

can we read the BOOTSEL status though ? I know they had to add electronics to be able to read it on Adafruit 2040 boards

[teal river]

I bought a $30 keyboard with clone Blues and I'm happy, lol

[tame dew]

💯 commits behind micropython…

I never thought I would see the day: https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython3/releases/tag/v3.4.0-alpha1

[teal river]

I shall learn while hanging out!

[grand tusk]

Was counting blinks for the line number. Then it flashed red!

[timid plover]

I'd like to chat with others using IronPython

[wind spoke]

print("Hello world!") is the new blink in CircuitPython.

[teal river]

squints at YouTube what are we looking at?

[digital crescent]

I've updated my keyboard with more neokeys

[tame dew]

I used it a lot in OLD$JOB 6 yrs ago.

[teal river]

This whole "save and it happens" thing is so cool! Much better than write, compile, upload, wait, Arduino restart, see if it worked, then have to make a change, compile, upload, wait...

Oh, I meant what were we looking at with the camera view XD

[wind spoke]

Watching a piece of paper. 🙂

[teal river]

lol

[cinder wind]

put a dab of hotglue on top of your LED as a quickie diffuser

[grand tusk]

Having the error messages appear on the TFT FeatherWing is also way cool.

[wind spoke]

Can we raise SafeMode()?

[autumn turret]

Are the colours for the status LED in a hue that is distinguishable to folks who are colour blind?

[teal river]

RIP mouse

[autumn turret]

cool

[teal river]

Onoes, bug!

Squish it, fast!

[waxen thistle]

🐛

[teal river]

Uhoh, bent pin!

[grand tusk]

gnarly

[timid plover]

nice

[teal river]

It was very blurry, lol

The only time a bent pin is a problem is if it breaks or shorts something that fries the device XD

Sound is interesting

[waxen thistle]

I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering from too many tabs. You'd think four monitors would be good enough. You'd think, right?

[teal river]

No, that's nowhere near enough! 6 is also not enough, I can tell you this from experience

[waxen thistle]

3x 24" 1920x1200 + MBP 16" @ 2560x1600. And I'm --this close-- to getting the iPad for SideCar's additional display.

[full escarp]

I have 4 monitors too 😄

[timid plover]

what do you use to drive 4 monitors?

[teal river]

My main machine has a 27" 1440p, 2x 1080p 21", 2x 900p 2", 1x 900p 19". Just bought a 4K 27" tho

CircuitPython here I come!

[full escarp]

1x 27" 2560x1440 + 2x 21" 1920x1080 + 1x 23" 1920x1080

It's all being driven by my late 2013 iMac. It can run two of the display via it's mini display ports but I had to use a USB to HDMI adapter for the 4th.

And since it's an iMac it has a screen built in

[teal river]

32 displays is the goal

Less is imperfect

[full escarp]

hahaha

[clever summit]

What happens when the code is run is that is displaying some hard work from the weblate gang!

[wind spoke]

What is the "blink" when waiting for an UF2 file? Is that in TinyUSB? Is it "compatible" with your new blink?

[upper sandal]

you mean in the bootloader ?

[wind spoke]

When you double click the reset button to upgrade.

[teal river]

Uhh... does Pi Pico work with USB 3?

[upper sandal]

yeah it's in the bootloader, not in circuitpython

[teal river]

nevermind i dumb

[grand tusk]

Any way to slow down a crash/reset loop?

Yeah, set PWM freq to 0 in code.py and it went badly.

[teal river]

I realized I had been playing with a Pico using the Arduino bootloader and you need to plug it in while holding BOOT to get it to show as a drive

yay!

[upper sandal]

or reset, while hodling bootsel Doctor (if you added a reset button)

[teal river]

No reset button on the Pico

[left pier]

I'm an hour and a half late for class...

[wind spoke]

Is the behaviour different when connecting to a computer or powered by a power bank?

[teal river]

Double license, double safe!

[waxen thistle]

I need to track down a power bank that supports ultra-low power draw.

Which if they named that power bank "Stealing Joules", that would be awesome 🏦

[wind spoke]

How much space do we win?

[teal river]

brb!

[wind spoke]

A tiny one, in German. 🙂

[autumn turret]

Try on the QT Py!

[clever summit]

Let's talk about why you should use the command alias please=sudo 🙂

[cinder wind]

I noticed you don't do -Os when compiling. Why not?

[clever summit]

alias pleaseworkthistime=git

[cinder wind]

ahh got it

[timid plover]

how does that work internationally ?

[digital crescent]

How much effort would it be to expand this to other cities/states?

[waxen thistle]

Less than 100/20 is underserved?

....I feel really at odds with that, as we have 50/25 and 50/50 at our two locations, and it 100% meets our needs. Even with live media streaming.

[strong acorn]

25 down is enough for 4k streaming

[eager matrix]

I'm in a zip codes which is among lowest media income zip in NY State and there is a company building out fiber and offering it inexpensively. It should be turned on sometime in the summer.

[waxen thistle]

Oh yeah, 100% for wired/fiber instead of wireless.

[strong acorn]

there is no cable or fiber where I am, AT&T won't even do new DSL installs

[eager matrix]

A lot of refugees entering from Canada land in my neighborhood.

Aren't we getting our personal 5G hotspots with our vaccine?

Greenlight Networks. It's base in Rochester New York.

[simple fractal]

i guess i shouldnt make fun 🙂

[strong acorn]

@simple fractal you need to do different shoulders to get the diversity antenna

[simple fractal]

lol

[tame dew]

5G will actually drive 10Gbit fiber because the cell towers will need A LOT of bandwidth

[clever summit]

I am looking forward to better 5G reception.

[waxen thistle]

I have such horrible cellular reception here in a rural area -- if our vaccines had a 5G transmitter (they don't!), I'd actually be ok with it. 📱

[teal river]

Vaccines actually just protect you from the 5G mutations

[simple fractal]

i am lookkng forward to using up my monthly cell data in one day

[eager matrix]

The owner of the Buffalo Sabres is taking care of his region. He's from Rochester.

[simple fractal]

my cable speed keeps going up here. I think i can download around 150MBs all day. at least i did yesterday.

[tame dew]

Remote education with a laptop or tablet really showed the disparity in US households 😦

[simple fractal]

and no cap.

[left pier]

Do they have the data ?

[timid plover]

doesnt the FCC have a map showing speeds

[eager matrix]

When I went for my vaccination, I heard staff there talking in 4 or 5 different languages. I was in tears about what an amazing place I live.

[tame dew]

I ordered nearly two of everything from Piunora

[left pier]

Import it to Open Street Maps and let it become community maintained

[waxen thistle]

@tame dew Full agreement there -- a single computer in a household just doesn't work when you have 2+ people vying for it during the day.

[wind spoke]

Warning, Scott knows about maps...

[simple fractal]

i'm also a Piunora supporter

[left pier]

I love maps 🙂

[tame dew]

If you even have a computer or broadband. My neighborhood is heavily immigrant households that I doubt have either 😦

[clever summit]

Good morning!

[upper sandal]

hi

[teal river]

henlo!

[upper sandal]

is the mic super quiet like far away or is it me ?

[teal river]

It does sound far

Noisy background when talking

Ah, yeah, dead silent when you aren't speaking

[clever summit]

Ha, you should hear my fans when I stream from the lab!

[upper sandal]

the best feature of the Clue is how cute it is

[teal river]

I can understand you

Not the best audio, but sufficient

[upper sandal]

the bundle has an older tag

so the 7.x bundle (from the release on github) doesn't work with the latest

the mpy-cross version used is the latest tag/release of Circuitpython

so currently they are compiled with a version of mpy-cross that is before the changes to MPY format

that's for the bundle, i don't know for the libraries

[grand tusk]

Yeah, audio much better.

[teal river]

MUCH much better. A little hot tho

[clever summit]

I have my mic on arm, and I always forgot to move it in front of me when I have a meeting. It is in the way in front of the monitors.

[grand tusk]

Scan the I2C bus, see if anything is connected?

[teal river]

Don't forget to eject!

oh just the breakout nevermind

I spent like an hour last night messing around only to realize I had a couple pins swapped, lol

weird

Pretty sure you DID just run it

dafruit? it's missing the a? but you have the a in the import

weird
