Yup that's what I have
@teal river really? I could of sworn we had been through this before.
Mhmm, AdaBox018 was my very first. I didn't realize it was a subscription and that they were limited time before
Well it isn't usually late, I only had one late that one time.
Ah
ahoy
👋
Is there a show today?
hi!
Good afternoon.
Yes!
disco sounds on YT!
Bleep bloop!
Looks like there’s 20
lol
Yay!
It's a great deal.
So sharp
Its pixelating
(retro scan lines for the flashback video)
yeah
got it
@teal river Agreed!
nice LEGO design for those
It barely fit in the drawer.
I blame @haughty quiver for my addiction and mounting debt :P
Absolutely
now Doctor need to get this right
the bare Sharp display needs both 5v & 3.3v so this breakout board is great because it generates the 5v from 3.3v
What’s another sharp memory display between friends
I'mma build a Game Boy type device
smartmirror could be cool with this one
It's about double the resolution of the Game Boy, lol
@cinder wind Did you say it has a volt multipler from the 3.3v?
yep. it's got a little 5v boost converter
I don't think you can use it for a smart mirror since it doesn't have any backlight and it's only a reflective LCD
oh wow..great. that solves the problem with 5v sensors attached.
I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with the one I got
it's a very small boost converter, only enough for the display, not for anything else
Oh, ok. Have to still use the mini boost then.
@cinder wind By the way, your display was hilarious
Game Boy type thing!
Reflective LCDs are indeed hard to capture
ahah thanks!
That...was....funny
A transflective version with a backlight would be cool
Three left.
I’d like to see a refresh example when you’re moving more than a few dozen pixels?
nice
I don't think there's a Rust crate that works with embedded-graphics for that yet... maybe I'll do that when I get mine
Such a rad looking display example, JP. Looks like future techno status thingy
@haughty quiver Where is your example code stored for the Parsecs, Pick of the day and JPW?
Will it retain the image when unpowered?
Yes, a very contemporary looking display
out of stock :c
The crystals slowly shift back to their normal state, which is "white"
No Jim. You would need an E paper/E ink display
The trick to the closet is there's one in EVERY drawer.
On youtube (Erik Anderson) they are asking if it will work on the pico.
the little gremlins inside the display with their black and white cards start to sit back down
lol
LOL @teal river
Thanks JP!
Thanks @haughty quiver
If you're laughing at the GIF, lol. If you're laughing at the crystal comment... that wasn't a joke XD
I still haven't gotten my AdaBox, still says preparing to ship DX
@haughty quiver Thanks great show. You make us buy stuff. lol
thanks all!
He made me spend enough to get another STEMMA board... 100% his fault
@teal river agreed
@haughty quiver how does it feel to command such great power?
Now what should we throw in the well?
Muhahahaha
Rocks?
Thanks JP!
@ebon stratus here's a lot of pixels moving around https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-videos/1200x900/4694-04.mp4
great show Park @haughty quiver
Win (day/time) is Mrs. and Mr. LadyADA’s next program? Is it tonight at ???? Or tomorrow night? Thx.
@ebon stratus They will not be on tomorrow -- I think Show & Tell will be hosted by @hard hollow & @rocky reef tomorrow, and the AdaBox 019 Unboxing will be during the usual Ask an Engineer slot.
The command ?showtimes will give you regular scheduling, but AdaBox and some other stuff can override that

Thank you. UPS should be delivering my Ada box tomorrow night. My first one. Yippee
Lucky! The first one is super exciting, and I think you'll REALLY enjoy this one!
I am a few months away from 65 yo and just getting into this.. going blind so also had to buy a microscope to see what I’m doing. Big LOL
Never too late to start! The electronics may get smaller with time, but the fun doesn't!
Just gotta build a set of robotic hands and eyes to make it easier to work with things!
Nope, just me as a mad scientist and the folks here :P
Don't think Boston Dynamics is the place for bionic eyes, anyways.
I'm working on my own pneumatic hand designs
I thought that's what niblings were for.
Niblings?
@teal river cool.
Niece/nephew
They have better eyes and can be taught to solder.
Speaking of odd names… I love the word “spudger”. Learned that from bigClive
Ciao
@grand tusk trade my soul for an consumer auto header pin soldering machine

NeoKey 1x4 QT I2C
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4980
The only thing better than a nice mechanical key is, perhaps, FOUR mechanical keys that also can glow any color of the rainbow - and that's what the Adafruit NeoKey 1x4 QT I2C ...
A series of operating systems from the Microsoft Corporation. They are one of the largest groups of operating systems on the planet.
Relegendable Keycaps
https://www.adafruit.com/product/5039
Last I heard of them was back in win95. and since 95 is bigger than 10, I'm guessing the OS is going backwards?
Black Nylon Machine Screw and Stand-off Set – M2.5 Thread https://www.adafruit.com/product/3299
I prefer MAC but I thought W10 was a good improvement. If I'm not mistaken, I thnk its built or have a Linux kernel
Adafruit Fritzing Library parts https://github.com/adafruit/Fritzing-Library/tree/master/parts
Windows 11 is actually binary, so in decimal it's Windows 3. So if it's moving backwards, we don't have much further to go before we hit Windows 0.
Adafruit 3D CAD files available on https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CAD_Parts
well windows 10 is binary too
Hmm, true. So it's actually increasing after a massive decrease from 95-98-2000.
95 was in octal, so that is the reason for so many blue screens of death. 🙂
Very sparkly keys.
UV Lamp Box https://learn.adafruit.com/uv-manicure-lamp
Windows 10 has the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2, which basically runs the Linux kernel as an integrated VM
@rocky reef This are amazing for mixing with epoxy. (only a little bit, so not to block the UV)
https://www.amazon.com/sdp-Polvo-de-mica/dp/B0759DH4ZG/
also docker for windows can now use it as well
The googly eyes keycaps, look like the old xwindows demo "xeyes" 🙂
build your own custom UV oven for cure your parts or things
plus, I'm always hungry for cookies. Who isn't? 🍪
I think the problem Limor had was when she had too many things in the keycap which cast shadows so the UV light didn't hit all the resin so not all of it cured.
Will there be a learning guide for the uv resin key caps?
if you don't have the UV setup, can you sit them outside(in sunlight)?
Another awesome learn guide from @clear matrix! 
you know what could be cool? have some kind of door for it or curtain like one
I am going to try that today
@shadow epoch So am I. I have regular resin. But, I don't have 'UV' resin. I have to check the can.
Very nice purple feets.
That's a lot of keys
(in alton brown's voice:) "Multitasker"
whoaaaa!
oooo....if you have a spare bantam mill that needs a new home or it'll be thrown out, I guess I can help reuse it here to save on ewaste 😉 😉

[I kid, I kid. A mill is totally on my wishlist for the future, along with a laser cutter and Star Trek replicator.]
i saw some other kind of desktop mills too what have lazer as well
Good idea: Being near a replicator in Star Trek.
Bad idea: Being near a replicator in StarGate.
The end.
How did you position the mask on the bed to print?
Very awesome mask
Specially for the rest of the world, where we are still wearing masks.
If that mask knows it's a wolf mask, does it make it aware-wolf mask?
the almost like from mask from the mAsk
Very nice print
NinjaFlex maybe
some magnetic filament for the spot of connector part could be cool
great tip
almost that mask look like house of Stark
The North remembers.
ah it's not house of Stark, it's T'Hodor

Thank you for taking time for us and have a safe and fun vacation.
Game of Masks
Thanks, and enjoy your time off !!! ☕
Personally I believe that the Star Trek transporter is killing the subject and creating a perfect copy every time XD that's why I'm also working on spatial trajector technology, which folds space-time and transfers a space-time pocket to the destination, keeping the subject intact the whole way
Thanks @hard hollow & @rocky reef for another excellent show!
thanks for hanging out folks! cya tonight on S&T 🙂
Great show @hard hollow @rocky reef Enjoy the vacation
thanks so much for hanging out folks!

By the way, just got the Rick Baker Metamorphosis book -- wooo boy, it's heavy and it's good.
wow, that looks real
those eyes look amazing
like upgraded mask from Noe and Predro showed earlier
@waxen thistle Metamorphosis is indulgent but worth it, yeah.
There are some things that are such a worthwhile treat.
@nova totem very useful project, nice
Thanks, I love escape rooms so I kept thinking lock whenever I see the macropad

Push the button? Sound like a trap.
pushes button anyways
Always push the button
@split gazelle Nice! Make it a learn guide pleassee lol
If it’s heavy then it’s expensive, put it back!
When you get into resin in the shop, having shop buttons to control your phone are really important

Whoa, creepy werewolf mask.
Did you click Videos tab?
There's usually also links in #general-tech and here, but I only saw the AdaBox one
Yeah, it only shows 3D Hangouts as the latest upload
Oh yeah, it was hosted by Noe and Pedro and maybe they forgot to post one.
Oop
Question on the AdaBox unboxing -- I haven't watched one before, and haven't gotten my AdaBox yet; is it something that's pre-recorded and JP throws up, or does he do live bits?
It's a mix.
I think it's partially pre-recorded and partially live.
@teal river yerp, mix like @upbeat coral said
Mmmk, I'll watch in case I have questions XD since I got spoiled anyway
It keeps getting better every time
it's a good one for sure 🙂
Hopefully I'll get my next one before unboxing night XD
Oh boy. I wonder what JP has in store for us. lol
Mine arrived just a couple of hours ago.

My AdaBox is still preparing for shipment. First time I didn't receive one in time for the video. I'm going to watch anyway because I think I already know what it is.
Boop be boop 🎶🎶
I haven't gotten mine yet, and I got spoiled DX
Jack Horkheimer (born Foley Arthur Horkheimer; June 11, 1938 – August 20, 2010) was the executive director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium. He was best known for his astronomy show Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer, which started airing on PBS on November 4, 1976.
I got my last one after the unboxing
I loved that show on PBS.
I haven't gotten mine either. Really looking forward to it!
Does JP produce his own Intro music?
ADABOX 19 is shipping NOW, the final ones are going out now, so it's possible to sign up now and get this one now, but only for maybe a few more hours https://adabox.com

i got mine pretty quick but less than 200 miles away so arrived fast
I admire your restraint
@lilac tusk I think typically the adabox music is credited to bartlebeats, whoever they are
I’ve done kitting and assembly for like 300 thingys before and it’s a lot of work 😅 many different touch points
Were you the kid on the morning of Christmas Eve who was picking at the paper, wanting to open presents early? XD
Probably Lars 🥸
I could figure it all out
Hehe
here we go
I love how they show somebody using a hammer on a featherwing in the intro!
I was the one driving my parents bonkers til 3 am the night b4
This is my first Adabox, so exciting. 🙂
Have they recycled colors for boxes yet?
HEEHEEEHEE
Ha
hiiiiiiiiii
@oblique jay It's your thing! :D
😉 Now you know why I asked.
Hiiiii!
thanks everyone for joining us for adabox tonight!
I’m meltingggg 🤩🤩
I knew you would be!
Thank you!
YES.
haha
Lars!
Oh gosh
🎉 🎉
Lars all seeing
I have that CP sticker :D
This is great.
JP is out of control in a good way...lol
JP is so weird in the nicest and coolest possible way.
hahahaahahah now I know why we was trying out all those mustaches
JP is a hoot XD
This
Right?!
LOLOLOLOL
OOOOOOO ☺️☺️
Lars floating in space 🤣
The Queen has arrived
Astro Mecha-Droid XD
I loved catching Star Gazer show on PBS as a kid
just gettin warmed up
Weird question, but it the discus aureus, the first PCB art with naked humans on it?
more ahead 🙂
HAHA
strap in - its gonna get WIERD
@gusty wedge at adafruit, yep
Wonderful tribute to Jack!
omg
He sent a picture from the shop, and Limor replies "is that some kind of LA moustache mart?"
digs this song quite a bit

Mine is finally on the way :D Arriving tomorrow by 7!
at least it won't take long to get here.
yes!
Haha, now I'll have 3 of the Python Purple USB C cables
I’m gonna leave the screen protector on mine for as long as possible because I know that’s how lady ada likes to do it 🤣
I made it, hello everybody!
And 3 of the CP Space Explorer stickers
i've made a whack-a-mole game with mine
We get in trouble for that all the time. "Take off the protector for the guide images!" 😄

I don't remove screen protectors unless I have something else to cover the screen XD
I was on team panda too yo 😂
very cool Graphic @proper trench
I love the Pioneer at Jupiter artwork. Great job @low fractal
GRAPHICS ARE ALL @low fractal
Ohhh, that backplate has the Voyager golden record etching on the gold section!
love love love the silk screen!
oh didn't know the gold box was voyager golden record artwork!
@low fractal Stellar work 🌠
GIVE IT UP FOR @low fractal !!!
The one on the MacroPad page doesn't have that!
Awesome work @low fractal !!
Thank u thank u @low fractal it’s stunning!!!
Yeah! So brilliant. First round of them didn't have it.
hey if you still have adabox's I'd like to get another one to give to my coworkers
@low fractal So awesome!
Thanks y’all!
RIP first round...
we may or may not have been able to get the voyager artwork for the first batch of macropads
we really tried :/
@low fractal Awesome Graphics
but we didnt want to delay anything
you did the right thing
ADABOX all get the ones with the etching!
more voyagers
It would be great if Adafruit could sell black number keycaps that match the others they are selling.
VGER gotta be made somehow
and we now have the 'leftovers' in the shop
we maaaaaaaaaaaaaay have a 'pudding' key kit soon
Pudding? :O
glowthru
mmm
The stream on Twitch went down...
YouTube just died
I'm in trouble after my son saw the content of my ADABOX!
Yeah, YT is down
oh nooo!
FB too
Solar flare?
It wouldn't be a JP stream without technical difficulties. 🙂 
Noooo
"they're infinite..." There you have it.
oh nooo!
Love the look on his face though while he's frozine. 🙂
doooooohhhh
jp is gonna get it back up
frozen
Back
BUT im here if you have questiosn!
Satelite went down
On yt
ground control to JP
can you hear me major John?
he IS in outer space, folks
And down again
he flew too close to the sun
No questions but glad you are having fun with us!
and we're back! (on YT)
Are we gonna get Threads here?
Back on Twitch!
YT is back
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, JP…”
i think we're looking at Threads
Eventually.
youtube has a limit on how good videos can be now, so it was too good, they had to stop it
I particularly enjoyed the Star Gazer intro.
We're waiting on making sure they're moderated properly. Then we'll enable them.
from now on all my PCBs will have little naked gold humans
Moderation good
I dig the Golden Record. Nice touch!
🙂
That's always best practice in case your project is found by beings from another planet, dimension, or temporal frame.
this is outstanding work on this macropad kit
Maybe a future Desk of Ladyada can talk about how the gold art was accomplished...it's super cool!
thank you! last year had a lot of challenges.... then this year with shortages it has been different challenges 😄
thank you everyone for the kind words and support, we're trying to do something special (and weird) and we really appreciate it
The click on the encoder is sooo satisfying 😁
we know adabox is not for everyone, but it's REALLY for some folks in a big way
when parts have 1 or 2 year lead times it can be pretty intense to plan things out
I love how much you can learn from an adabox unboxing
Why do I want to put this on a rocket at escape velocity out of the solar system?
it's so incredibly frustrating!
screeeeeeeeeeeen protector
JP being weird is like, the best thing
I left my screen protector on
Here’s a pic of mine with today’s newspaper 😂
Thanks for putting this together. The difficulty of getting parts makes it all the more specieal
I bent a pin but was able to straighten and recover
Seeing how well this came together is definitely inspiring as a small maker business owner
@proper trench product idea: screen protectors that are meant to replace the ones that come with the device, but are meant for full time use
hehe
Never remove my protectors. Triggers my kids.
Don't drop the weirdness even by a 1%. I normally enjoy adafruit stuff a lot, but today is just a cosmic overload.
🙂
eInk display I got like 2 years ago, as it is right now
I make replacement screen protectors from my grandmother's plastic couch cover.
Hehe... cosmic.
I ❤️ the no solder press fit sockets
This screen protector is almost 10 years old 😄
thats REALLY old
from the youtube chat "ground control to major prongs, connecting keyswitch, clear caps on"
wow we havent sold that screen in a looooooooooooooong time
hah
you can also poke 'em through from the other side, except I don't recommend it for the one behind the screen
I like taking the Kapton stickers and putting them on the other side of the mounts, lol
omg, those dang covers! i put a screw through the first one, no problem. the rest wouldn't go wouldn't go... i had THREE screw hole covers there, and the one without i managed to use first.
I hang on to things
I'm impressed you know instantly XD
as an aside, was the image in the copper area of the golden record side an adabox exclusive?
our very first oled screens exposed 8 bit mode
@spare kiln it is not exclusive, the ones we have in the shop now have it
The pads kind of make your exposed back side choice perm...
I guess the early ones just didn't?
we were not able to get the artwork to the PCB house and work out the details in time for the store ones
Just 'skidding I guess.
Just get more feets :D
lol
we tried and we did not want to delay launch 3 weeks when they wouldn't remake the PCBs
the DK cap is only adabox as well as this time
completely fair. and that was rude of them.
its ok - its a PCB space oddity 🙂
Yay DigiKey! 
it makes my blank one even more special
Still has the screen protector. Had to dig to find drivers for a cut-rate display. Ordered 2 good ones yesterday from JPs pick.
Yes, DigiKey has been awesome!
Extremely limited edition!
💜
💜
I have 2 of those USB cables, they're soooo smooth
I play with the one on my desk while I'm on the phone, lol
This macropad will be on American Pickers in 50-75 years
Can encoder be changed to CW+ CCW- ?
You mean it'll be on Mars in < 25 years?
@tulip canyon just swap the pin order in the code
In Lars toolbox
@proper trench I'm not sure that's correct, but you can just negate the count of clicks with a "-" in your python code
really outstanding kit and production tonight. Completely solder free good to turn software engineers into makers and see the power of the edge
Sweet sweet music
I would love to see Lars on Mars.
Lars’ Mars Candy Bar
Yes, the further away, the better...
Great performance @haughty quiver
APPLAUSE !!!
👏 @haughty quiver
Amazing performance @haughty quiver
Great unboxing!
Well done once again @haughty quiver
WHOOO @haughty quiver
Well done, @haughty quiver, that was hilarious and fun
beginner question: macropad has 8M flash, does that set macropad ram 10M (with the default 2MB flash on pico)?
@haughty quiver #KeepAdafruitWeird
And hats off to Lars on the camera
thank u thank u 🙏
@haughty quiver Other worldly!
Yay @haughty quiver !! 🎉
far out!
@lean marsh its 8MB 'total'
AHHH
@haughty quiver Great!!
Knocked it out of this world @haughty quiver
LOUD
Stellar performance @haughty quiver !
I can’t wait for the Halloween adabox now
That was fantastic! My 9y/o just built it realtime next to me. She is fascinated with the rainbow lights!
And the Oscar goest to.....

Thanks team and everyone who made it happen during these tuff times!
@haughty quiver Very loud noise and we can't hear you
And the crowd goes wild!
Major John to ground control
I think a solar flare hit his audio again, one moment....
ahhhhhh
flying too close to the comets again, John
That's how space sounds people, don't freak out.
Yay!
(Lars)
We hear you JP!
Yes, good now
YAY
Try the squelch haha
@haughty quiver perfect
Cosmic Background Radiation
still too soft
woo it's fixed!
JP with audio problems again. LOL
good
Sound is good now
Transmitter was probably off
ah, so the loud static is why nobody can hear you scream in space?
Hey, I have a question about the macropad that Bowie just assembled, it has 8Mb of flash, I know that should be enough for most applications, but is there anyway that I could add more storage to read commands off of? Could I plug more things in this macropad since it's based on the raspberry pi MC?
much better
audio low a bit maybe
yay, we back
JP so good at the makeup
This is ground control, coming through loud and clear
yay! we will persevere
perfect audio now
love it ⌨️ ❤️ , thank you Adafruit!
and great unboxing video @haughty quiver !
JP's daughter!
this is part of the art performance 🙂
The worm
bowie jp communicated to modems
the static was very space-y
JP has offspring?!
he's on mars, folks
LOL
Tell JP to say hi to Mark Watney, he's a bit lonely up there.
fantastic
This is amazing
LOL
like wow 😮
🤣 Yes!
LOL
That was awesome @low fractal !
This reminds me of a movie about a mission to Mars
Can every unboxing be like this?!
Paint your Sagan
It's made out of the universe, can I add more space to it?
lolol
omg was that @low fractal!??! He's not always a dragon?
Ok Houston we've had some problems.
@low fractal as Sagan just killed, it's awesome.
he's always a dragon, just sometimes has a wig
A corner of the universe
the emptiness of space
the next one will be The Brady Bunch themed so we'll need a total of 9 Adafruit people to appear in the video <--- lies
This is so cool! I never knew it would be this amazing!! 😄 😄
are the questions without answers? are there answers that can't be questioned? we will see
Ok, that has to happen now.
Blame it on solar flares
LOL
YOURE DOING WONDERFUL DAHLING!
Adabox is almost legal
Nooo, no overheating cameras
Or wait, already legal
whoa the eased slides are good
This implies it's illegal XD
It can join the military now
It can drink in Canada!
adabox cannot drink or rent a car yet in the usa
Just two more. By the end of the year
Adafruit just a bebe
RIP JP's AC
yep, even legal in those weird states wherethe age of majority is 19
My AC has been wonky as well
My 1st macropad is one of the early ones
JP is on mars, but also in Peru.
the planet is getting so hot that cameras are overheating
What should I do with my red switches when I get mine? I'm gonna use blue switches, lol
Lars is playing with the AC remote again.
mars is really hot!
get another macropad, clearly 🙂
Like Mark Watney in the Martian, we're gonna have to Science these problems!
Probably from powering too many macropads at once
🦥
That's very thoughtful of you guys, to have build that library ❤️ I'm more accustomed to program on C Arduino
you can still use C/Arduino if you like!
The Macropad library is awesome. Thank you @clear matrix !
Thanks for editing Watney's comment
CircuitPython best
Appreciating the macropad and ready to go libraries so hard rn 🤣 literally the day I got my box 1/4 of my laptop keyboard died and I was happy knowing I could throw cut copy paste over to the macro while I find my keyboard part 😁
Thanks! You're entirely welcome!
I wanna design a MegaMacroPad
Got early Macropad. Since this box was also Macropad, gave the box to a friend who fell in love with it
It even handles rotation with key and pixel mapping... the pixelmapping was a beast!
Circuit python would be ideal for my application, but I'd need more storage than 8mb I think
Nice work 🙂
That's like, 5 and a half floppies!
moar flash
Thank you! Always try and spread the love
I had just ordered a Keybow 2040 from pimoroni when I saw what was coming in my Adabox. I'll almost be halfway to a 60% mech keeb!
Hoping to port my personal macropad design (Radpad) from QMK to CircuitPython with a RP2040 Pro Micro in time for CircuitPythonDay
brb buying 5 Macropads to make a full keyboard
Hoping to get my PixelLeaf RP2040 working for Circuitpython day
@queen mantle tell us how it goes! we think the macropad library we've got is simpler than *MK but also...its simpler than *MK 🙂
we good @haughty quiver
@clear matrix Great work!
Thanks for making the original demo firmware easily available! 😊
No red alerts. Audio is good, Lars met the Borg at Wolf 359, Borg are retreating back to the Delta Quadrant.....
All good
Thank you!
I see a classic IBM-looking keyboard
JP has an 808 keyboard? Sick!
Should be easier, python is really easy to understand, compared to C
In spa-a-a-a-aceee
but also less powerful alas
Mmmm blue switches
THat's an understatement. 🙂
with simplicity comes less power
The funny thing is that JP didn't need to buy any new clothes for this unboxing video
I have an IBM Model M :D
Or new hair.
I had an idea for a RGB matrix with some keebs on the sides
Haven’t tried it yet but soon I think
I think that's his natural hair, but he normally just has it pressed down under a cap and wig
Knob, screen, buttons - Ages apart
An old prototype I made years ago.
Will do! The hardware libraries for OLED and rotary are much easier in CircuitPython.
My YouTube glitched for a second
Came back quickly
Mhmm
MacroWig 😂 ez switch! 🤣
The programming of the board done in circuit python is sent through PlatformIO? And if so does platform io say's how big the program is before burning it into the flash?
Radpad and Adapad
Oh nice
Coffee
JP is anyone and everyone
Whoo hooo, thanks @clear matrix !
Heck yes! It's already fixed! It'll be in the bundle tomorrow!
@clear matrix hero!
As long as you're not using HID, you can plug it into any kind of USB power and it'll run!
it shows up as a thumb drive / removable storage type device when you plug in to a PC. To write new code on it you can just save it into the code.py file on the drive.
Anytime I look at CircuitPython, I keep seeing Kattni's name show up alongside some wickedly awesome work.
Space Invaders?
Wow I should have done this box
Gameeeeesssss ☺️☺️
😊 Thank you!
I'm gonna make a dungeon crawler MacroPad game
Make a Flight sim controlller
No, don't end... start over 🙂
The ADAbox releases have been great for me!
👍
Great show. Thanks @haughty quiver @open girder & Digi-Key.
Looks really fun, I'll have to dig in and play with it a bit tonight hopefully
Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!
@haughty quiver Have you had that costume on hand waiting for this moment?

YAY!
Thanks Adafruit for a great box and @haughty quiver for a great show
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Thanks @haughty quiver !!!
Thank you all at Adafruit
Lot's of love for all of the adafruit folks. Amazing show tonight.
Thanks @haughty quiver ! Keep being weird and awesome!
Thanks to everyone at Adafruit
My daughter wants to watch another unboxing after this because JP is so cool.
🪐
Thanks for the great box, awesome projects, and a delightful show!!
LOL, Thank you Adafruit and @haughty quiver !
@open girder @proper trench @haughty quiver Outstanding show!
Thanks @haughty quiver @open girder - Highly entertaining and great product!
@low fractal 🤣
Hahaha
Thanks everyone!
HAHA nice, thank you ❤️ the show
Am space adventurer, can confirm @low fractal is correct about giant potato orbiting Mars
See you all next time 🙂
Thanks John and Adafruit! My daughter has a bunch of ideas already! She says........ Hi! I Loved This
Phoebus
Thank you @proper trench and @open girder for letting @haughty quiver and @low fractal be awesomely weird
@haughty quiver Wonderful!
outstanding. @haughty quiver
Thank you to EVERYONE who makes this possible.
Amazing
🥔 
❤️ 
thanks folks, we cannot be weird without ya'll
🥔
Have a great night everyone
Awesome @haughty quiver
So much awesomeness! Thank you, all! 😀
excellent! @haughty quiver
great show! looking forward to receiving my adabox. Thank you everyone!
Thanks you @open girder for another excellent AdaBox! Thanks @haughty quiver for the sweet unboxing video! And special thanks to Digikey
for their support with AdaBox!
🥔 
Good live, good cosplays you guys went above and beyond to make this a fun experience
This is my first Adabox and I absolutely love it!
hey you know how marvel movies have a clip at the end
I totally plan on using my macropad as a controller for production testing of things I make
@haughty quiver @low fractal all y'all are awesome
after the credits?
thanks @haughty quiver well done once again! 
yissss
Snap, there's a stinger?
Ooh I love a surprise at the end of the credits!
What a super super fun way to get everyone rocking on the hottest chip!! Super stoked to have a 2040 friend with me all the time while I crack PIO and i2c timing fun 🤩
O_O
HINT ABOUT NEXT ADABOX - ITS GONNA BE ELECTRONICS! FOR HALLOWEEEN!
Keeb monster?
And excellent guest stars @low fractal and @oblique jay!
@proper trench will it have cardboard as well?
A hallokeeb?
DID SOMEBODY SAY HALLOWEEN?
So I could write another program in Python that runs on my Mac (or PC) that listens for keypresses from the macropad and then when it hears the keypress runs the code?
@proper trench The Halloween "specials" are always awesome!
Adafruit AdaBox is a superb technical and artistic feast. Thanks!
lol
LOL 😂
In conclusion... Dinosaurs. XD
most excellent ending
whoa!
I thought JP was awesome in last halloween's Rocky Horror adabox but this was even better
yep you could do that.
Yeah!
That was awesome.
Awesome, that gives me even more ideas! Thanks
Is Adabox 20 coming in three months or two?
For Halloween so probably 2ish?
Adabox is so much fun! I really enjoy this community.
who approved of August?
TURKEY DAY APPROACHETH
Pour that gravy down my throat to chase the candy
Is that yours?!
Yep.
I’m a fan of licorice so anyone who doesn’t like it, I’ll take it
Lucky!
Sending you all the Good n plentys?
Oh yes
Thank you much!
I just finished a prototype to control my home theater receiver over the network using 2 rotary encoders and a Raspberry Pi. I think I'm going to rewrite it using the macropad. 🙂
Not sure if those are licorice or just ☠️
too much actual licorice is ☠️ anyway
I'm sure gravy has a LD50
Maybe 🤔
Still working on an acceptable coffeeKey...
Hahah!
Hey that looks pretty good!!
I had a project catch fire
Electrolytics hold a lot of smoke. And they don't always handle 20V AC too well.
@haughty quiver Well done, that was fun to watch
It was 20kV that did it
foof
More like BANG
bzzzt
I've exploded LEDs before
Very important to keep the workbench organized 🤣
note to self: that current limiting resistor is really important ( I inserted one into the wrong spot on a breadboard
also high-velocity LED bits hurt
One time I thought it was a good idea to plug a 2.2V LED into a 120VAC socket to see if it would light up at all
I've exploded a transistor before... They hurt
@haughty quiver Outstanding show!!
One of the reasons why we encourage wearing safety glasses when working with electronics. You never know when something unexpected might happen.
Looks great!
One time I blew a 5kW PSU while it was under load and it splattered hot capacitor guts all over me... that was painful
BUT I HAD SAFETY GOGGLES SO I CAN STILL SEE
@haughty quiver Has your daughter told you "Dad, one of these days you'll have to buy your own makeup?" 😉
I had no idea that JP had a child until tonight!
it's Lars
Lars is a girl?!?!
....hmmm, maybe I guess I can see the resemblance 😉
Ha! I actually owe her some makeup that we used up ...
I'm all paranoid plugging these in - afraid I'm going to bend the pins now!
Don't worry too much, they're not that fragile -- you can usually unbend them with a pair of tweezers. Or a razor blade. Or your fingernails if you're me.
"some" ("did you have to use all my eyeliner, dad?")
Lol
“…again?”
Little side to side horizontal wiggles help em go from first contact to ready to launch, and I definitely did plenty of visual peeking before the CHONK moment ☺️
I'm all assembled. Only slightly bent one. :). Installing CircuitPython libraries now
I wonder if JP's daughter looks like him
@haughty quiver great job with the costumes, makeup, dance moves, etc. Great fun!
imagines a small version of JP with longer hair
Oh wow, I didn't know that was still on!
So, like one of the Hanson brothers? 😆
very cool! i’m thinking about using the stemma port to add more rotary encoders
think I saw them in concert...
That would make a great product pic cover 😂😂 omg that’s amazing hahaha
Mmmmmmmmmm-bop
ahhhhhSHOOOBEEEDOOOOwaaa 😂😂 that was one of my first cds 💿, some really good tracks on it 😅
Good afternoon all you martians and astronauts. Ready for another excellent JP's workshop? 👽 🧑🚀 🚀
you can't top whatever that was last night
unless this is the one where JP finally ... snaps
into a slim jim and dresses as Macho Man Randy Savage?
Because....I'd watch that.
Then again, I watch people take apart & repair vintage KitchenAid mixers, so... 🤷♂️
I watched the Jack Horkheimer video after the unboxing....hilarious!
same. So much grease packed in those things!
Greetings good people.
It's like Bob Ross using a painting knife, just heaving globs of grease into it. "And that grease needs a happy friend, because it's so hard to mix things together alone..."
Bleeps and bloops are a go on Twitch
Good afternoon
Great job with the unboxing last night @haughty quiver missed it live but caught up today at lunch
Bleeps and bloops are a go!
YT is bleepin' and bloopin'
Thanks!
@haughty quiver is in da house.

Lars and the goose are plotting something. 😶
World domination and a method to safely divide by zero.
FunHouse has captouch.
@cinder wind 👍
Need more chats open....
Need moar screens...
Is that its measurement in inches?
no, it's a common misconception. a parsec is a unit of volume (fuel).
I have two behind my laptop (can't really see them at this angle), but they have stuff that's not sharable openly lol
Planck keyboards only probabilistically send keystrokes?
So, you could not line rows up in a long row like 1x12 array??
Aha. One of those websites. 😄
yah you got me --- all that non-PG content, like intellectual property.
hey another iStat Menus user! Love that program
Heck yes!
@haughty quiver Boustrophedon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon
Boustrophedon is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with reversed letters. This is in contrast to lines always beginning on the same side, usually the left, as in modern European languages.
The term comes from Ancient Greek: βουστροφηδόν, boustrophēdón, a composite of βοῦς, bous, "ox"; στροφή, strophē, "turn";...
Yepper! I nabbed it on a package sale with other software a few years ago, and it's my fave.
Hi, @clear matrix
Hey Andy 🙂
Ah, you can make layouts that are not within a 5x6 grid. It is just a matter of how you wire the rows up. 😃
imma make a 1x30
1x108!
That's a looong keyboard...
it's the full workout keyboard
I should make a 1x88, and alternate some white and black key caps, and hook it all up to midi
