@split gazelle SO TRUE. My goodness, I only buy cables from Adafruit or from a trusted seller like Anker -- if I care about it having data, being rated for the right power draw, not going to melt into a pile of slag and release sparky , etc 🙂

Can try checking the National Video Game museum as well, in case there's something there to jog your memory?

But if it was a Vector based system, and not just a game, the one that comes to mind is Vectrex

tame dew
#

It was not vector. It had to be mid 1980’s. I WILL find it.

#

Gyruss!

#

The game uses two Z80 microprocessors, one 6809 microprocessor, and one 8039 microprocessor. For sound it uses five AY38910 PSGs and a DAC.

#

My memory fooled me! It was a joystick, not a spinner. Clockwise-counterclockwise

There's a default blue Led for BLE connection : blink = not bonded, still = bonded...

I need an LED acrylic cap for my FunHouse, lol

Thanks, I think I will be around often

#

Was the feather already paired ? If yes, it should appear in bluetooth devices ?

#

I know that some scanner doesn't show devices that are already paired.

waxen stone

is it android (Locations services activated)? BLE does not need to be paired or yes?

Did you test that -40 value with real distance ?

Maybe go to -20, see if it works, if it does, bounce lower and higher to find a minimum?

grand tusk
#

Rant won't tell.

slender wharf
#

oh, right. nRF52 can put -40db as tx power. But we still can read return value of setting tx power..

Oh, low tech solution to know if the thing in your hand is the one you're bonding to: broadcast a serial number, then have the serial number on the device

I'm wearing noise cancelling headphones to block outside traffic noise. And I hear a passing car from Scott's stream.

Before I realize where it's coming from, I'm wondering: "How loud is that traffic? Sheesh! You're coming through active noise cancelling for cryin' out loud..."

Then...."oh. right."

I use Plateform.io and simply use the console to output some message for each block...

Can you show/measure rssi on mobile side, so you can then adjust tx power ?

teal river
#

Nothing in life is TRULY free :P

slender wharf
#

because if -80db is quite too low I think for phone to decode messages.

waxen thistle
#

One of the best things from adafruit -- https://learn.adafruit.com. This is a project database that's absolutely amazing, highly curated purpose-built projects that have a strong community following. And it's 100% free to access. No need to be a customer to access the schematics, code, project plans, etc.

grand tusk
#

418 I'm a teapot.

slender wharf
#

Then is Tx power is default (0) you should be able to measure rssi @ 1m then compute db reduction to reduce than distance...

teal river
#

Yeah, the Tx power you set might not match Rx power

#

I hear rain :O

Having the ability to access the code at any time, from any computer without a toolchain is a pretty powerful feature too, for wearables and stuff like that for example

#

or for a person who you developed the code for, to modify it and tinker with it, or a product like the Winterbloom Big Honking Button

grand tusk
#

BHB FTW!

#

I've been debugging a Python Chatbot.... and I've switched all the example libraries to CP, which has made it way easier...

slender wharf
#

Circuitpython can also manipulate files. C++/Arduino is harder for that, I think

#

Yes, I switched from Youtube to Discord 😉

waxen thistle
#

Welcome 🙂

I believe ATMakers mentioned that having the wheelchairs code being accessible as a drive made it possible to access it with standard text editing accessibility tools

#

I was awake and forgot this rendez-vous.

slender wharf
#

Thanks !

#

Where does the file come from ?

wind spoke
#

So you are connected in BLE... then how is your board powered? You plug the USB but it is already powered another way? What is your scenario?

grand tusk
#

Frequent backups are important.

wind spoke
#

You already have a "fight" between OS and CP that could write to the filesystem... and you decided it is one or the other. Now you add BLE?

woeful pond
#

disconnect the ble

autumn turret
#

This may be WAAAAYYYY to out there, but having a host "process" running on the device, which "presents" to the OS over USB, BLE, etc, but is just a proxy. That process is what handles reads & writes

wind spoke
#

USB data win... USB power is not doing anything.

woeful pond
#

would it be difficult when connected to serial, let the serial win and disconnect the ble

wind spoke
#

There is the Android way of avoiding concurrent access to flash from the phone and the connected host.

#

They implemented a microsoft "zune" protocol or something like that.

waxen thistle
#

No problem 👍

wind spoke
#

BLE is the same as user code (more or less).

sudden slate
#

New verb.... Deep Divering 🙂

#

You suddenly became super blurry

wind spoke
#

It is hard to tell that there must be user code to make the file system read-only (for the host) to let BLE work.

sudden slate
#

Now you're good again

teal river
#

YouTube did a dumb and set you to 480p for me earlier

slender wharf
#

Do you need to serve files throught usb ?

wind spoke
#

Cut write access from BLE. But can I continue to read?

woeful pond
#

that sounds clean

autumn turret
#

Would that "flush and disconnect" for BLE only be for file transfers?

teal river
#

I thought your mouse pointer on the YouTube chat was a bug and almost smacked my iPad DX

wind spoke
#

And I have destroyed all my power only microUSB cable... and now I need some!

autumn turret
#

USB DATA, not power

sterile forge
#

If you plug in a power only cable then the BLE should be the winner

woeful pond
#

yes otherwise it may be a fight.

slender wharf
#

Depends the OS.... Windows want to control file drive...

shell mason
#

there is power only usb cables too

teal river
autumn turret
#

So now a user would need to be sure to use power-only USB? It's already a struggle for support from the sounds of it

sudden slate
waxen thistle
autumn turret
#

That makes it maybe harder for folks who have just a phone/tablet to work from

wind spoke
#

Ok if my usercode set the flash to read-only (for the potential host) and I plug USB, will it stop write from BLE?

waxen thistle
#

Just be careful when flipping the switch -- some devices don't play nicely having their data line evaporate into the aether.

slender wharf
#

Yes, but the feather is active...

shell mason
#

its safer to charge your device on like in public charging place

slender wharf
#

so it write on its own on the flash memory..

autumn turret
#

I'm also thinking of people who might power their CP device from their tablet, but work over BLE for any number of reasons

sudden slate
#

I don't remember if it was a Feather or a Thing Plus

slender wharf
#

that's why Windows can't be owner/manager of mass storage...

woeful pond
#

its almost like when you have a laptop with wifi and ethernet, once ethernet is connected the wifi is disabled otherwise it caused problems.

slender wharf
#

and there an interface (webdav/file server).

sudden slate
#

Youtube is messing up today!

slender wharf
#

so one solution is usb network + webdav...

waxen thistle
wind spoke
#

And that is why Android is doing that extra protocol.

woeful pond
#

I'm on youtube its stable and clear

sterile forge
#

No it is not on a smart tv

#

Having the URL stuck in history on a public computer would slightly suck....

#

HSTS is the part that if you go http, it redirects to https.

#

Happy to help.

#

The "B" grade is mostly because you have tls 1.0 and 1.1 which are considered as they should be deprectaed.
On the mozilla page if you select intermediate, the example code will enable 1.2 and 1.3. If you select modern, only 1.3.

#

Yes, the ssl labs page is kinda design to check and recheck, while the config is going on.

#

Yeah, there is way to do something similar to ssl labs, but with nmap. But the extra info is kinda nice.

clever summit
#

Yes, do protocols as well

gusty wedge
#

Yes, because ciphers like 1.1 can choose which protocols to use.

(things like 1.3 only have protocols considered as secure, not in "modern" is not needed)

Desk of Ladyada - Lots of Keeb Samples & Resin Keycap Fun!

This weekend we got a whole bunch of keyboard enclosure samples, a 60% keyboard PCB we're checking out for inspiration, and a silicone mold for making keycaps. We tried making some and learned a bit. They GH60 was also interesting, let's check out some design decisions!

This has been a weekend of rather then finishing one project I started another

at least smoked ribs are a finite project

I'm glad I didn't buy a bunch of extra UV disinfection lamps

#

Heh, that is perfect

#

Vacuum pump to suck the bubbles out. I did A LOT of resin casting as a metallurgist

teal river
#

Don't resins usually have the wavelength they cure at listed? Should make it easier to find the right light!

Aquarium pump is good enough

I do a warm water bath, and that changes the viscosity of the 12h vacuum I use

DIY toebeans keys!

But those look top notch and veru well made.

I love the molds… many ideas

I can imagine creating a little lamp box kit wouldn't be hard!

#

Oh, that etching is very useful!

Great use for DoA and chips that lost the magic smoke...

Which is winning for that board? oled? epaper?

#

For the macropad.

will prolly do one of each

Q: do we have TFT or OLED small and square enough to be dynamic key caps?

teal river
#

If you make a full size CP keeboar kit, I will throw all the muns at you!

#

@tame dew they exist but $50+ per key

The aluminum case.... 😍

I saw a keyboard with little 32x32 pixel displays in each key... they sold for like $2000 each.

Yay sockets!

Optimus Maximus keyboard

The Optimus Maximus keyboard, previously just "Optimus keyboard", is a keyboard developed by the Art. Lebedev Studio, a Russian design studio headed by Artemy Lebedev. Each of its keys is a display which can dynamically change to adapt to the keyboard layout in use or to show the function of the key. It was launched initially in 2007 and is no l...

Not NeoPixels :O

tame dew
#

I think I need to wait for the future

rich wing
#

I had the mini 3 key macro pad... died after 6 months

tame dew
#

Or maybe LCD with NeoPixel backlight

#

100 of the 5050 NeoPixels was $40 from the site... yeah, pricey XD

But now I think I understand the price!

Would it be possible to create a library to make this LED drivers chip compatible with the neopixel libraries?

teal river
#

I have a cheap MX-clone keyboard with LEDs that are IN the keyswitch casing

#

N-key rollover is also nice if you type really fast like I do XD

Ladyada did a teardown about 2 years ago I think (maybe more?)

Absolutely @rich wing. It's a really well done product with the software. You can also DIY your own with Adafruit products! I think the project is called the "TouchDeck"

Ironically they sell a version of the stream deck at Target now

Glass body diodes are pretty

nova totem
#

I lived this great search for a still unfinished project. It was my first time realizing how cheaply I could order more diodes then I would ever need

upper sandal
#

insert joke about youtubers

autumn turret
#

It's a good app launcher, keyboard shortcut, etc.

#

DIY diodes (with a grafite pencil, or with aluminim) are also cool.
(we where talking earlier about diy resitors and capacitors)

No melf today? They strike me as bizarre, they must be easier to solder without them rolling away than I would expect

Given that I actually see them in products

Homemade pcbs : another way to become friends with smd, save drilling time

I just surface mount thru-hole parts

I'm experimenting with "pcbs"" made of gellatin or agar 🙂
