[rancid hornet]

Keycaps look great!

[woeful pond]

wow, nice

[sterile forge]

Does anyone know how to make the silicone molds for resin casting?

[lavish patrol]

I wooden think that would work...

[woeful pond]

next to engrave the top of the wood keys

[waxen thistle]

Hmm, an othermill is on the long-term wishlist 🙂

it's really impressive what you can do with one

[mellow thunder]

That is just awesome! wood !

[gusty wedge]

(late) hi from Costa Rica

[waxen thistle]

What wood you make if you had an OtherMill?

[woeful pond]

Pecan make it

[waxen thistle]

[unrelated -- I missed out on a used entry level XCarve machine the other day....grr]

[shell mason]

bantam tools have new addons for CNC desktop what helps too

[lilac tusk]

I’d love an xcarve

[lavish patrol]

I'm pining for one of those...

[gusty wedge]

There just some gorgeous keycaps.

I'd love to make custom routed signage with an xcarve -- or even mini signs with an othermill.

[lilac tusk]

Sounds like what I need for my Halloween setup

[shell mason]

factory fixturing for CNC desktop is kinda cool what also are low profile

thanks so much for hanging out folks!

this is cool https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/17212 as Creality have it 3d model cloud now

just look here for models https://www.crealitycloud.com/model

[sour ridge]

Wrong Noe

Haha

[woeful pond]

@sour ridge sorr about that

[robust horizon]

What did steampunk Little Red Riding Hood say to the big bad mechanical wolf? ||"Oh, Grandma, what big gears you have"||

[lilac tusk]

Haha

It would be cool if there was an adabox based around world literary day where @haughty quiver was Edgar Allen Park. (A play on Edgar Allen Poe) and it would include a big E-Ink display kit kind of thing and a guide to pull pages of public literature like Shakespeare or other classical authors

[robust horizon]

a circuitpython ebook reader pre-loaded with public domain classics?

[lilac tusk]

Yeah

[robust horizon]

while the name is great, I suspect that Poe's racism is a big enough blot on his record that Adafruit wouldn't pick him as the model for John's character.

er wait I"m thinking of Lovecraft

I don't know about Poe in particular

[lilac tusk]

Poe had his own issues

[robust horizon]

J.P.Lovecraft to be precise

Wikipedia doesn't cover Poe's politics or it did so quickly enough that my eyes glossed over it

[lilac tusk]

It appears Poe only danced around politics

He did have issues with anti slavery movements but his writings don’t necessarily make it clear his absolute position so we can only theorize

Or at least that’s what I just read from MUSE at Johns Hopkins University

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/51013/pdf

Haha, live demos are the best

[smoky island]

Good evening everyone 👋

[lilac tusk]

I won’t make it on Show N Tell this week but here’s what I would have shown if I came on:

[haughty quiver]

hello

[teal river]

Hi JP!

[lilac tusk]

I made some bread 🙂

Forbidden bread

[sage aspen]

Hello

[teal river]

I shall make Forbidden Tacos

[autumn fulcrum]

Me too.

[mellow thunder]

Hello to all! Happy Wednesday Night!!!

[teal river]

Soon™️

[lilac tusk]

Lol

[teal river]

I forgot it was lower only XD

[autumn fulcrum]

Recently I noted your profile photo is GitHub.

[lilac tusk]

Hotdogs are just tacos made with sausage and bread

[teal river]

My profile photo is me, lol

[teal river]

Hmmm, Kevin looks familiar...

[teal river]

🤔

[lilac tusk]

You’ll never be able to think of hotdogs the same way

[smoky island]

🎃

[gaunt plume]

I dont think I've ever done a halloween project, this might be the year.

[low fractal]

👹 Rawr.

[teal river]

Altho tacos use tortillas, which aren't bred bred

[lilac tusk]

I have plans for a Halloween project

[teal river]

I have ideas for a Halloween project

[lilac tusk]

Tortillas are a flatbread

[sage aspen]

I don't think I have either

[teal river]

"I'd play the audio, but it's #copystrike"

JP!

[onyx arrow]

Hey Guys. Still time to show off something?

I always miss the link

[teal river]

Show is still going, so... maybe?

[lilac tusk]

I want to use my PixelLeaf RP2040 to make a Halloween skull with some eyes animated on some Adafruit TFTs

[teal river]

I'm making a split keyboard using the Ortho snap-aparts, probably will show next week or the week after

God that back panel is BEAUTIFUL @haughty quiver !

[inner spade]

@haughty quiver To preserve a fully-populated and unbroken layout, are keytops available that could span two key switches?

[teal river]

So Scifi

[mellow thunder]

That the show is still going.... JP's notorious streams! LOL

[teal river]

CAKE!

Scott!

[viral sail]

🍰

[haughty quiver]

@inner spade unfortunately I don't think there are any keycap sizes larger than 1u that have stems to fit the 1u grid.

[river peak]

Five years!

[inner spade]

Ah. Probably would increase the key pressure anyway.
Thanks!

[fair fulcrum]

we are happy you are here @rapid hornet !

[nova totem]

Congrats @rapid hornet that's an awesome run of 5 years

[rapid hornet]

🎉

[waxen thistle]

@rapid hornet I'm sorry if you said it and I missed it, but what software were you using to monitor the USB bus?

[teal river]

Oh, @haughty quiver do you know where I might be able to get custom sized keycaps? I'm making a weird split keeb that will have odd length keys if I can manage them

[lilac tusk]

Great job @autumn fulcrum

[rapid hornet]

it's "data center" for the beagle usb device

just got a beagle 480

[autumn fulcrum]

Thank you skerr 🙂

[autumn fulcrum]

you're awesome 🙂

[teal river]

Mmmm nice toy

[waxen thistle]

cool, thanks 🙂

[lilac tusk]

That’s nifty

[onyx arrow]

😉

[robust horizon]

@teal river did you ever have luck with printing keycaps? keyv2 can customize to any width you want.

I have a keypad going with some 1U and 2U keys, maybe it'll be showable next week

[teal river]

Ohh, durr, I should try NOT with the baby printer with the 0.8mm nozzle, lol. I just set up my Ender 3 V2 and have it printing perfectly, I should try that

I would like cast tho...

[rapid hornet]

"data center" won't do protocol decoding with the beagle 12

[teal river]

Ohhh, Charliplexing, that's something you don't see a lot anymore

[robust horizon]

@teal river you could also take a look at https://www.wasdkeyboards.com/products/keycaps/printed-keycap-singles.html they have a variety of sizes

[smoky island]

That's a nice looking LED module Karl & Chelsea

[robust horizon]

not all the possible sizes though

[waxen thistle]

Very nice!

[lilac tusk]

Ohhh I need these

Where do I buy some?

[teal river]

Yeah, that site came up in research, but they seem to just have the standard sizes I think it's in U and 0.5U increments, I'm looking for weird sizes, like 1.122U or something

[lilac tusk]

I have ideas for my company

[teal river]

I have many ideas for companies XD

[teal river]

Here's an idea: hire me :O

[lilac tusk]

Lol

[robust horizon]

you may have to cast your own, then. good luck @teal river !

[waxen thistle]

Lighting companies have many bright ideas 💡

[lilac tusk]

When I can hire myself, I’ll hire you 😂

[slow spire]

Which RGB chip?

[teal river]

Yeah, I think so, lol. Probably gonna use that site to print custom sizes and then cast

[lilac tusk]

I reinvest my “share” back into new products

[left junco]

I think he's trying to hypnotise us with all them pretty colours!

[teal river]

Hopefully soon and not soon™️

[lilac tusk]

Hahaha

Did they say the company they work for?

[teal river]

RIP show

[wary meadow]

they mentioned being in silicon valley

[teal river]

And being a small company that makes analog chips

[viral sail]

Great work everyone. Thanks for sharing.

[smoky island]

I think they mentioned it toward the beginning, but not certain.

[lilac tusk]

Hmmm

Ladyada will recap so I’ll try to catch it then

[waxen thistle]

Thanks everyone for sharing, and special thanks to @hard hollow and @rocky reef for hosting tonight!

[upbeat coral]

Thank you to all who make these possible

[lilac tusk]

That’s got a great show

[hard hollow]

Thanks folks!

😄

[teal river]

Rewinding real fast

[smoky island]

Great show tonight thanks for showing the neat projects everyone and Noe & Pedro for hosting!

[autumn fulcrum]

nice.

[teal river]

They just said "a small Silicon Valley startup that does analog chips"

[rocky reef]

thanks so much for showing awesome projects tonight folks!

[teal river]

Thanks for hosting!

[slow spire]

Nice demos, but it really helps to mention at least basic context at the beginning, and share important specifics

[old glen]

We seemed to have had a network connection problem, but we'll join again next week to finish!

[autumn fulcrum]

I think it would be a great employee.

[slow spire]

Congrats, @old glen !

[old glen]

By the way, we forgot to mention our company, it's www.kinet-ic.com

[slow spire]

Where can we learn more about the RGB driver chip?

Yes! Thanks!

[old glen]

We have a youtube channel as well. Just search on youtube for KTD2061

and our webpage

[slow spire]

That was some really smooth animation, @old glen

[lilac tusk]

Are you selling currently or still developing?

[old glen]

both these chips are in mass production

[lilac tusk]

Do you have distributors setup?

[old glen]

We didn't get to mention our fade engine yet, which is a really awesome feature

[lilac tusk]

I have ideas and I’ll be using them soon

[strange mantle]

@old glen nice demo. it looked like most of the stream went OK. it only started having issues near the end.

[lilac tusk]

Thanks 🙂

[old glen]

the smaller chip is KTD2052 for 4 RGBs

[lilac tusk]

<$2 😱

I like it

[wary meadow]

I'm tempted to buy a few even though I don't think I could solder a 3x3mm chip 😄

[lilac tusk]

[teal river]

Question: How do I curb my Adafruit addiction? I spend more on y'all than anything else XD

[lilac tusk]

You don’t

You eventually become an Adafruit employee

That’s the outcome

Shoot for the starros, and if you miss, you probably won't land on the moon due to orbital mechanics. 🌜

[river peak]

Not going to lie, there's a lot of Twitter recently that's. not great (Not exactly a conversation for here, though)

[waxen thistle]

[teal river]

I don't use Twitter

I want to watch The Suicide Squad

[river peak]

I've heard good things about it!

Aha! The Starro of the show!

[upbeat coral]

So THAT'S how it happened!

[waxen thistle]

It's a violent film with harsh language (fair warning) -- but it's worth a watch 🙂

[nova totem]

I spotted an Adafruit board in an escape room. Part of the decoration was an ItsyBitsy that had been burnt out (so they told me after)

[teal river]

[teal river]

One of my managers when I worked at Micro Center had a Vectrex he kept on his desk, lol

I've never encountered a "real" one but I've seen a few videos. Knowing how they work it's just. fascinating

[mellow thunder]

[teal river]

Will Colin ever make it back to a landscape format?

[lilac tusk]

Collin is so darn sharp and his voice… makes it so soothing to learn about electronics

[teal river]

[lilac tusk]

Yes

[viral sail]

I'm old school, I still sit at a computer to watch these videos. 🙂

[teal river]

I watch a lot on my phone, but I can't say I want to watch it vertical XD

[upbeat coral]

Who says my atten... squirrel..

[inner spade]

We also need a round format. Perfect for a hacked Nest thermostat.

[wary meadow]

I'm surprised nobody has come up with a way to frame videos for either

[waxen thistle]

Carl Sagan-esque voice.

[teal river]

I do like the quick bit format

[lilac tusk]

My thoughts exactly

[river peak]

I'm sure someone will get a-round to it

[rancid depot]

Hi everyone!!

[teal river]

Or my watch

[nova totem]

I really want to do a project with a round display like a watch

[limber wolf]

"So easy even a squirrel could do it" - That's what my dog likes to snark.

[teal river]

Question: What would you suggest doing with something like a 1st gen Raspberry Pi that still works, but isn't up to whatever task you originally had it for and upgraded?

[river peak]

For some reason I read this in Gimli's voice.

...I need to watch LOTR again sometime.

[teal river]

Hehehehe, yes, you do

[woeful pond]

staroids is addictive.

[nova totem]

it's crazy watching the air quality outside of my house change with the smoke.

[lilac tusk]

Same. I’ve mostly been looking at the weather channels AQI

SLC had the worst air in the world a week or two ago

[river peak]

I saw this on Twitter, it's really cool!

[teal river]

CP is magic

MacroPad is also magic

[lilac tusk]

CP is super easy to add new boards too

[river peak]

It really is. Not having to compile anything is amazing

[lilac tusk]

It’s perfect for maker companies

[river peak]

and being able to just test things out with the REPL is invaluable.

[teal river]

MacroPad can do ANYTHING!!

[lilac tusk]

Adding boards to Arduino is very ambitious

[teal river]

I was literally holding an Arduino when I learned of CP and threw it across the room, lol

[river peak]

Yeet!

There's stuff for Arduino that's really nice, but. Well. CP is just so much friendlier.

[rancid depot]

Make it all easy please @open girder !

[nova totem]

No more making ten programs called test1... test2... etc.

[teal river]

Yeah

[open girder]

10% discount code, one hour only! code is: STARRO expires 8/18/2021 @ 10pm EDT http://www.adafruit.com

[lilac tusk]

I’m hoping to submit my first board to OSHW in the coming month

[teal river]

@open girder I agree, y'all make it ACCESSIBLE, not easy. Easy is plugging things together and they work... things like the MacroPad with great examples make it simple to get into it, but are open to SO much more complexity.

[mellow thunder]

Didn't even dream of trying coding before CP!

[river peak]

Test, wait for program to compile, yep, it compiles and there's no errors, now to upload it to the board, and Oh cool, yeah, it is detecting this i2c device. Time for another test

[nova totem]

That is way too accurate to a lot of my life

[river peak]

Heck, even if it is making it easy, easy isn't a bad thing.

[nova totem]

It's real simple to do!

[waxen thistle]

Easy means we save time, our most valuable resource.

[lilac tusk]

Ohhh steamy factory footage

[teal river]

I do have test1.py, test2.py, because I'll make a thing and want to make different versions so I copy and do different changes on different files XD but it's nice to be able to change one to code.py and BOOM running

[lilac tusk]

Scandalous

[teal river]

Yeah! Nothing wrong with easy! I don't understand the gatekeeper mentality

[waxen thistle]

Life Goals: I want to write software that's in use on another planet.

[teal river]

[teal river]

That works too. Or even in orbit of a moon or planetary body. But "on" a planet? chef's kiss

So earlier in the show, they mentioned that something from Adafruit was in The Mandalorian. Is there a link to this story?

[autumn fulcrum]

Oh... Glados....

Thank you!

I am both a pretty big Star Wars & Adafruit fan so this is two of my loves together!

[waxen thistle]

Check out all the various Star Wars-themed projects on https://learn.adafruit.com 🙂

[open girder]

a lot of folks at adafruit are star wars fans, star trek, marvel, dc, really a lot of different things like that, so it's always neat to see the stuff we make here used by the best in the biz 🙂

[teal river]

I should print this, my MiniMacroPad I use for work is literally a loose NeoKey 1x4 and a loose QT Py RP2040, lol

Question: What do y'all use for DNS?

[waxen thistle]

Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out where I'm at in a room, so I can see how a computer has a challenge with it.

[vital bane]

1.1.1.1

[woeful pond]

@teal river 8.8.8.8

[nova totem]

That's why I remembered this company name, I was looking into a project with locating sensors indoors

[teal river]

I remember when you couldn't get hyper-accurate GPS in the US because it was illegal for civilians to own such accurate GPS modules

[woeful pond]

I have to try the 1.1.1.1 I'll try it and check it in a packet decode

[teal river]

I've generally been using 8.8.8.8 because it works and I'm too lazy to investigate other options XD

The math is amusingly simple

[vital bane]

Really just set 1.1.1.1 as primary and 8.8.8.8 as secondary.. no reason other than they both seem fast and are easy to remember...

[nova totem]

I do a lot of go-karting at an indoor track and thought this would be neat to have (there are commercial options but what's the fun in that!)

[rancid depot]

Perfect for indoor localization for drones.

My watch is a circle XD

[young hill]

I like little displays. They're cute.

[teal river]

This is why I've purchased like 20 displays in the last couple months XD

[lilac tusk]

Question: I’m making an E-Ink display board and I was wondering if the 20V Schottky diodes are okay vs the 30V ones they have listed? Trying to use what I already have. I’ll probably get the mbr0530 but I have a lot of 0520

[teal river]

The corners looking the same in memory but being rounded with those pixels "missing" physically is exactly what phones do. Take a screenshot on a Pixel 2 XL and export, it'll have corners filled in!

[mellow thunder]

@teal riverSo that's where they went...

[echo canopy]

Question for the show I built a bistable transistor circuit over the weekend, and used the NRF PPK2 Profiler for checking the power consumption: Does 8mA seem excessive for just a few NPN transistors, resistors and Caps? *AND Any tips on how to make it lower power (around 3v) for a battery project ?

[teal river]

Question: has Adafruit considered diving into 3D printing and trying to revolutionize that space?

[rancid depot]

Q: @open girder For all silicon that you have to import, have tariffs become predictable and can be factored into your bottom line? The government needs to kill silicon tariffs. Having tarrifs along with the crazy silicon shortage price gouging is nuts!

you mean there are people who wouldn't get the pun ? That never happens !

[teal river]

I DESIRE BAT

[lilac tusk]

Question: Is there like a point where you start selling more consistently product wise? Is just just talking about products a lot or providing enough products to make something with? I’m selling more each month but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m making more boards or more people see my stuff

[fair fulcrum]

or maybe their is a ghost in the machine!

[vital bane]

@open girder any chance on usbc trinkey?

[teal river]

Ohh, 1080p DSI display for Pi would be great for me too

HDMI is nice for not Pi things, but I'll take what I can get!

[left junco]

Q: Any tips for how to store/transport Lipo batteries safely? Like a hard shell or something?

[teal river]

Ha, I can only remember the Google and Quad 1 DNS because they're all the same digits repeated XD

[nova totem]

Gotta love the random facts you remember from 20+ years ago that have almost no use today

[slow spire]

I'm sure @haughty quiver is readying a Theremin demo for the Proximity Trinkey.

[teal river]

Question: Can I make an Adafruit themed game?

Re-revolutionize XD

[fair fulcrum]

its not easy being green (low power)

[sudden slate]

Can someone put the MIT DNS in Discord?

Also, hi

[slow spire]

@teal river I'd suggest writing to [e-mail] for Adafruit trademark usage guidelines.

[young hill]

I'm really into 3D printing. I'm trying to get better at incorporating electronics into my prints.

[kindred stirrup]

Any chance there is something similar to an si4735 general coverage radio chip. They are obsolete but people use them with a nano for software defined radio.

[teal river]

I just bought my 5th printer XD

[sudden slate]

Not open box, I hope XD

LOL

[young hill]

Here's my latest 3D printing project.

[slow spire]

Oooh nice, @young hill

[teal river]

Ohhhh, do all those gears move? That's beautiful!

[sudden slate]

Q: Can you put Arduino and CP code on any given board?

[teal river]

Haha, the open box was dead... Just bit the bullet and spent the $50 more for a new one

[waxen thistle]

@open girder Question from Twitch:

MATEinspires1: Recommend a chip to track quadrature encoder counts (high speed) that takes the weight off of a microcontroller? Maybe I2C?

[sudden slate]

LOL

[limber wolf]

Thanks! Nice show.

[slow spire]

@sudden slate Both have minimum practical requirements for MCU speed, RAM, storage

[young hill]

Yes, all the gears work. It's controlled by an Arduino board, but I'm such a novice that the accuracy is just so. so.

[ionic garnet]

sorry I missed live shows today. I published a new episode of my podcast and Adafruit and THIS community is discussed. Here's a link on Apple Podcasts. I cover computing on the edge, IoT, maker, community, security/privacy... I shower Adafruit with unsolicited love. Why? Because I dig what they are doing: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/high-risk-high-reward-stories-from-my-life-in-technology/id1441157639?i=1000532328824

[slow spire]

I’m seeing SI4735 chips as active and available on Digi-Key. Example:

https://www.digikey.com/short/vrj8vn84

[grand tusk]

Oh I see. I thought it was "let's get this merged!"

[tribal iris]

At google they use wont fix as a reason to close bug but there are a feew types like won’t fix obsolete, won’t fix working as intended, won’t fix not reproducable and another i forgot. Lgtm is how they sign off on code reviews formally SWEs(software engineer) in big markets move around a bit between gigs so the terms move around and enter the company cultures.

[tribal iris]

Or vibrate just something

[teal river]

Vibrating would be less scary then exploding at least XD

[lavish patrol]

@waxen thistle You have Lars' cousins?

[waxen thistle]

There is only one lars.

[lavish patrol]

That we know of...

[teal river]

When you see 2 Lars, they are one in the same. Just time travel.

[shell mason]

what if Lars have cloned and made minions what look like Lars

[teal river]

All are Lars, all are one

[cinder wind]

Thanks JP for giving us this great stream to come together around!

[lavish patrol]

In the long run, we are all Lars.

Lars terrifies me

gasp Arduino?!?!

[clear matrix]

Pretty much entirely unrelated, but I was sad to learn today that the toebeans keycaps don't fit on my low profile MX key switches. So.... no toebeans for me unless I come up with a good reason for a macropad (which for my use case, I still really haven't). 😦

[teal river]

You could get a NeoKey Trinkey...

[clear matrix]

Yeah but what would I use it for?

That's the issue.

[teal river]

Toebeans emoji

[clear matrix]

I can't come up with a thing I would remember to poke another keyboard for yet.

[teal river]

Computer lock?

[clear matrix]

I'd type out :toebeans:, heh.

I have a mouse corner for that.

Habits are hard to break 😄

[teal river]

You can press toebeans to type '' for you XD

Oop, wrong '

Stupid iPhone

[lavish patrol]

Lol.

[nova totem]

I'm the same way I have this macropad and not quite sure what to do with it yet, besides maybe some sort of lock maybe

[teal river]

It doesn't have the tick mark

[upbeat coral]

I have 4 x 4 Keybow from Pimoroni. Has built in 2040.

[clear matrix]

My MacroPad project is GitHub phrases I type a lot. Still trying to figure out 12 though. I have maybe 7 reasonably.

[clear matrix]

That's the key I was going to toebean. The backtick.

[teal river]

Ahh... Maybe you should just get a full height MX keyboard :P

[clear matrix]

Sacrilege!

(I seriously love this keyboard, though.)

[teal river]

This is the Way

[lavish patrol]

Neat way of keeping hookup wire under control...

[teal river]

... where is my keycap

[lavish patrol]

Evening @clever summit

[clever summit]

Hello @lavish patrol! Seon asked about you in his last stream.

[cinder wind]

JP, talk about your rubber-band, wing nut wire spool thing!

[lavish patrol]

Still alive 👍

Might drop in again one day.

[clear matrix]

If the toebeans keycaps weren't so fancy, I could trim it back, but they're metal, so that's out. Maybe print an adapter, but I feel like there's no way to do that and not have it sticking waaaay up above the keyboard. So....... I need to figure out a reason to have some kind of external keyboard/macropad.

[clear matrix]

This is a good thing to be!

[teal river]

I have lost my

[clever summit]

His last streams has been less annoying, @lavish patrol 🙂

[lavish patrol]

Indeed. 😀

[teal river]

I have keycaps like those! Glorious has a version called Aura

[grand tusk]

here we go again

[teal river]

I wanna try Jade switches

[upbeat coral]

I have a full set of Typewriter style keycaps I was never happy with. Too reflective. They are my terget for my key projects.

[opaque hearth]

4 out of 5 dentists recommend using a keycap puller 🦷

[lavish patrol]

Ouch.

[ionic garnet]

maybe I'm too old but I must admit I don't get the fascination with macro keyboards!

[eager sapphire]

"Un-lose" hmm

[teal river]

Macro or mechanical? XD

[ionic garnet]

either!!!

neither!

[teal river]

Mechanical sounds and feels nice

[ionic garnet]

yes I like a good click

[teal river]

Macro can save you from complicated keyboard commands

[ionic garnet]

though I like my Mac keyboard too

[dusk socket]

Thanks for your entertaining and informative style of show, We learn so much more from you. Good luck for the next 100 shows

[ionic garnet]

Sure I get the value of macros, just not clear what everyone is doing with ALL the keyboards. I can see the midi use case, and maybe some function keys. It's all cool, just not the most fascinating thing to build IMO

[teal river]

Like, one piece of software I use has a combo that's Ctrl+Alt+Shft+Q+[1-4]+Enter, IN THAT ORDER, for a set of functions. Macropad can do that in 1 key. And in addition to your favorite keyboard!

[teal river]

I have a dozen keebs for my dozen computers

[cinder wind]

VHB tape for the QT Py!

[clear matrix]

I'm struggling to find a reason to have a macropad setup, in any use case that I would actually remember to use and not simply type out on my keyboard manually or keyboard shortcuts etc. So I kind of get where you're coming from.

[ionic garnet]

what I really want is a way to use one keyboard to control all my computers. Like an uber KVM or something. 30 years ago I wrote some code to do something like that using IPX/SPX (back in the Novell NetWare days--yes, that long ago)

[inner spade]

Macro keyboards are essential for laptop control during a band performance. We use a variety of prerecorded SFX and intros.

[ionic garnet]

yes that use case I understand

[clear matrix]

I have old software called um... I've just gone blank on the name. Oi. Synergy!

[teal river]

These days I just use Remote Desktop or VNC or SSH a lot

[clear matrix]

They retracted their v2 of it because it was so bad, but 1 still works for me. Between Mac and Windows.

[teal river]

I think Synergy is still around?

[clear matrix]

Yep!

They're working on a v3.

[ionic garnet]

no remote desktop for me (allergic to Windows, but ssh or VNC sometimes)

[glossy flicker]

Or Barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier) which is a fork of Synergy from before it became commericial and...weird

[mellow fog]

Synergy also has an open source version Barrier.

lol yep

[clear matrix]

I got v2 for $14 or something so I am waiting to get 3 for having bought 2. Did not request my money back.

[lavish patrol]

Lars - excited for the 200th episode. 😄

[eager sapphire]

must add the obvious: little macro keyboards are excellent for filling with adobe premire pro commands

a real time-saver

[glossy flicker]

Great minds and all that stuff 😉

[teal river]

I bleed Windows XD but yeah, remoting in makes a physical KVM less necessary... Plus you don't need to have all the systems close by (mine are in all 4 levels of my home)

AHH MY EYES

:P

[cinder wind]

It's a MIDI controller! It's a Lamp! It's a keyboard! It's a floor wax!

[teal river]

Big order expected by 19:00!

I have a few QT Py SAMD21 I don't know what to do with because I ordered them to be a MicroMacroPad, but they can't handle the libraries

[inner spade]

YT is back after buffering

[teal river]

Back

[ionic garnet]

I use the QT Py

in little artistic creations with neopixels typically

[spiral vale]

just ordered a handful of samd qtpys with todays discount

[grand tusk]

samd21 great for arduino

[cinder wind]

as JP is showing here, QT Pys can do MacroPad stuff in Arduino, but you're right, difficult in CircuitPython. Also if you solder down the optional flash chip, you can do more (see "haxpress")

[spiral vale]

i'm making a little midi translator thingy

[clear matrix]

Haxpress is an option, but yeah.

[desert talon]

Funny coincidence- my test plates were delivered during your livestream

[waxen thistle]

Those are some nice keycaps

[clear matrix]

Folks who have 3D printed keycaps, how difficult is it? Seems like some pretty serious detail that goes into it.

[teal river]

Ohhh, didn't realize, thought it was the RP2040 Version

[desert talon]

https://pimpmykeyboard.com/sa-1976-keyset-two-shot/

[teal river]

Probably gonna look into that if I can't find another use

[ionic garnet]

thank you @haughty quiver

[lavish patrol]

Thanks, @haughty quiver 😀

[opaque hearth]

Thank you JP! you are a gift to the internets !!!

[grand tusk]

Yeah! JP 200!

[clear matrix]

Trying to assess how hard it would be to make a toebean adapter that doesn't make the key stick hugely off my keyboard. Pretty sure it's a no-go but still worth trying I guess.

[teal river]

Not possible with a 0.8mm nozzle, I can tell you that

[inner spade]

Thank you @haughty quiver ! Happy 200th!

[desert talon]

Thanks JP and congrats!!

[upbeat coral]

Thank YOU for taking time for us.

[sly radish]

@haughty quiver Thn

[teal river]

Thanks @haughty quiver !

[lavish patrol]

@haughty quiver that's 200 up. 👍

[cinder wind]

of it's it's the RP2040 version you're set

[nova totem]

With a 3d printer one of the best parts is it is pretty cheap to just try

[clear matrix]

@haughty quiver Congrats again on 200! 🥮

[waxen thistle]

Thanks Lars for permitting @haughty quiver to make 200 excellent episodes!

[lavish patrol]

Bye.

[upbeat coral]

200 1 a Lars Oddessy

[glossy flicker]

Congrats, @haughty quiver !

[eager sapphire]

Can hear John's machine beeping at all the @haughty quiver messages (here's another, JP!)

[teal river]

Yeah, that's what I started with, wanted to move the project to the SAMD21 Version to free up the Rp2040 for other things

[clear matrix]

I can hear my cat yowling loudly in the hallway at nothing.

[teal river]

Lol

[clear matrix]

Over noise cancelling headphones playing music, even.... 🙄

Ah well, I love her. 🙂

[spiral vale]

@teal river add the flash chip to the samd version?

(oop... that was suggested above)

[clear matrix]

They're even in stock https://www.adafruit.com/product/4763

[haughty quiver]

Here's the guide I did on that: https://learn.adafruit.com/numpad-4000-mechanical-keyswitch-data-entry-device/assemble-the-numpad

[teal river]

Thanks :D

[haughty quiver]

oh, darn I meant to. It is not very good but looks neat :)

[cinder wind]

If you need those extra built-in modules make doing the QT Py haxpress mod worth it. The extra modules enabled are: adafruit_pixelbuf, audiobusio, audiocore, audioio, displayio, fontio, pulseio, terminalio. Which means you can do audio and display stuff on a QT Py! But there's still not much RAM so you'll hit that pretty quick

[teal river]

I just wanna do keys and NeoPixels XD

Well, NeoKeys

[robust horizon]

I don't think the haxpress includes keypad

[cinder wind]

yeah no fancy new keypad looks like, so you'd have to use the pure Python adafruit_matrixkeypad: https://learn.adafruit.com/matrix-keypad/python-circuitpython

[teal river]

Does NeyKey use Keypad?

[robust horizon]

@teal river yeah https://www.adafruit.com/product/5157 is designed for keypad module in circuitpython

[teal river]

Haha, I forgot Ortho had "NeoKey" in the title. I meant this https://www.adafruit.com/product/4980

[robust horizon]

that does NOT need keypad module just, busio.I2C and the right libs

[teal river]

Gotcha. Yeah, the 1x4 is what I couldn't use on the SAMD21

[cinder wind]

The NeoKey 1x4 should work fine on a SAMD21 CircuitPython board. From what I can tell, the only requirement of the adafruit_neokey library shown in the NeoKey 1x4 guide is I2C, which is available everywhere. What was the error you were seeing?

[teal river]

Can't remember... tried it like a month ago. I think it was running out of RAM?

[cinder wind]

hmm... I could believe that. Looking at adafruit_neokey, it uses adafruit_seesaw and that library is pretty big.

[teal river]

Yeah, I think it used seesaw, NeoKey, and HID to act as a keyboard, and it would crash when it got to the HID part. Could do seesaw and NeoKey without HID, But that wasn't useful, lol

[cinder wind]

I've definitely run out of flash space when installing adafruit_hid. To the point where I've hand copied just the files adafruit_hid/keyboard.mpy and adafruit_hid/keycode.mpy but not the rest of the files in that directory

[teal river]

Ohhh, if that's all I need to do keyboard stuff, then I just need to tweak a bit!

Awesome :D

[robust horizon]

You might have to learn more low level stuff than you'd like (bascally, extracting or rewriting just the parts of the libs you use) but you should be able to fit it into a standard qtpy. Depends on the value of your development time vs the cost of getting your hands on a different board.

like, learn to prepare your own USB HID report instead of using the adafruit library

fun, maybe

[teal river]

Heh, could be fun

Hi Scott. I hope you are well.

Here it’s been a bit rainy. So better. Quite cold Monday.

[modern night]

Well now I'm hungry

[eager matrix]

Nice!

Hello all

[simple fractal]

There is a video of a bobcat kitten at CritterCare. Which defines cute

[modern night]

That's super awesome 😄 I first heard about MircoPython in college, and CircuitPython a bit after, it's awesome seeing it's growth over the time

[teal river]

I sleepy

[modern night]

There's a lot about my college life I wish I could redo, but I was fortunate enough to be loosely aware of micropython and from that circuitpython, and that is something I love from my time back then

[teal river]

I kinda wish I could have skipped college and just worked

[sly radish]

Thanks Scott ... now feels like Friday 🙂

[simple fractal]

the ongoing saga of my 3d printer build is...all done, now to calibrate

I copy and paste... @timid plover and Scott do the work ....

[waxen thistle]

College was rough. Did a 5 year degree in 4 years, held multiple jobs at once, so glad it's over and have zero interest in going back -- I learn so much better on my own.

[modern night]

I would not be in a field anywhere related to this if not for college. But not doing college doesn't stop folks from doing awesome things. It was right for me, and wrong for some friends, and not doing college was right for some others

[upper sandal]

thanks Patrick !

[modern night]

Did you get any signals from the wii balance board?

I didn't get anything, but I just 'poked it' and hoped

research will happen soon

(late) Hi from Costa Rica

[teal river]

RIP people who only use heiroglyphs

[gusty wedge]

Hey I use hieroglyphs (egyptian, and mayan). Plus cuneiform.

(not only, but hey...)

[teal river]

RIP fede2, unsupported

[lilac tusk]

Lol

[gusty wedge]

I do quite a bit of transliteration and a little bit of translation (when I have enough books next to me)

[grand tusk]

☮

[gusty wedge]

The circuitpython braille project I did a while ago, also uses these lovely unicode stuff.

[shell mason]

like temps of 20℃

unicode lib memory sounds fancy and cool

[teal river]

I speak English, Cat, and Gallifreyan

[gusty wedge]

I natively spanish, kinda do english, and frequenly read books in portuguese, french, esperanto and bökmal.
But with enough dictionaries, I have translated from nahuatl (and related dialects), about 3 costarican indigenous dialects, egyptian, and quite a bit of sumerian (and 2 related langs)

[left pier]

Plus CP, Cpython ... 😉

[gusty wedge]

If anyone wants to learn, I'll recommend cuneiform writing. It's phonetic, so you can (kinda) write english, spanish and nahuatl with the same alphabet (like we do with latin alphabets)

[drifting arch]

I wrote on yt chat....
​Hej Jonny....Got vaccine #2....got really sick from it :disappointed: Oh well....better that than getting covid though.

[simple fractal]

yt hates vaccine chat 🙂

[left pier]

If you don't show us what's up your sleeve how will we learn to do the magic tricks ?

[gusty wedge]

Oh yeah, and have also played quite a bit with unicode of the Voynitch. If anyone enjoys rabbit holes, that book is perfect 🙂

[drifting arch]

@rapid hornet no....I'm not feeling good...really sore arm and feverish...

[simple fractal]

i felt like that for a few hours. advil and back to bed

[clever summit]

@drifting arch I was out for 24 hours, then back to normal.

[left pier]

lol... twitter message length comes to mind ...

[balmy tinsel]

Vaccine number 2 was the sickest I've been as an adult. Still better than getting covid though. Hoping dose 3 will not be as bad for me.

[lilac tusk]

Dose number 2 for me comes next week

[drifting arch]

@rapid hornet also my amazing uncle died on Tuesday from covid. He was vaccinated...but had preexisting.
It was 8 hours after that it came...now I'm about 36 hours.

[lilac tusk]

Hoping for it to be as light as when I actually had covid

[simple fractal]

😦

[lilac tusk]

My condolences

[modern night]

Big hugs, I'm sorry for your loss

[drifting arch]

I should stop writing....my english sucks tonight 😄

[clever summit]

You are too swedish Mark!

My uncle died last week, but not from covid.

[eager matrix]

Oh man, that's horrible @drifting arch . My thought are with you.

[balmy tinsel]

I should clarify though, I was fully recovered in about 5-7 days. 100% worth it would / will do it again.

[simple fractal]

they've actually talked about a mrna flu shot that might be combined. and we get better cell reception (bad jk)

[drifting arch]

Thanks all....really appreciate the love from the community...

[simple fractal]

The company also said it has the eventual goal of creating an mRNA-based “combination vaccine” that would protect people against the flu, Covid-19 and other respiratory infections with one shot. - From Moderna

[left pier]

... rewind ... ahh I see what you'r doing ...

[drifting arch]

Sleeves....arm....are you trying to keep reminding me of the pain 😄

[simple fractal]

lol

[grand tusk]

ooh that's deep

[gusty wedge]

okteta is cool. I used to only use "od" which is useful but not as cool

[drifting arch]

Why in the world do we store those zeros...the great clean with digi-key...

[balmy tinsel]

So if you delete the zero's that won't change the way circuit python operates?

[modern night]

Woo! Compression! That's what I love (I'm not great at it but I like playing with it!)

Question--I can write compression and decompression schemes in python--but transfering it to c is tough. Could I play around and ask for help translating it for c? Even if it will fail to save space?

[grand tusk]

There is only one zero.

[left pier]

There are four lights !

[balmy tinsel]

ohhh okay that makes more sense.

[modern night]

That's close enough for me to really enjoy it

[grand tusk]

rle?

16 bit strings?

[modern night]

Can that region use the same compression that the error messages use?

[teal river]

What's a Q string?

[gusty wedge]

Similar to a Q flag? 🙂

[teal river]

Ahh

[grand tusk]

remembers that english is not the only language

[modern night]

You mentioned there's debug strings in one of them, are they in the other hexdump?

[drifting arch]

Unsigned decimal: 2048
Signed decimal: 2048
Hexadecimal: 0x800
Octal: 04000
Human: 2.00 KiB```

Unsigned decimal: 8192
Signed decimal: 8192
Hexadecimal: 0x2000
Octal: 020000
Human: 8.00 KiB```

[teal river]

Meanwhile, I'm doing server upgrades!

[drifting arch]

the tool bitwise is well worth downloading

the const pool is where you go to swim through your code

[modern night]

could you grab the hex values of that region and plot a histogram of the bytes?

I have no idea if my question would be insightful or distracting

[clever summit]

That's why we are here! 🙂

[drifting arch]

I thought my eyesight was getting even worse due to the fever...turns out it was just YT selecting 480p by default.

padding for misalignment it seems

[left pier]

Would it be cheaper to send everyone a board with more memory than to constantly tweak this every month ?

[modern night]

That strikes me as a part of the huffman encoding thing, is that in the right space for that to be possible

[grand tusk]

the 'leon' block.

[simple fractal]

i like 'dansclass' maybe an easter egg 🙂

[modern night]

The huffman encoding has a limit on the string size it compresses right? Does it cut off at circuitpyth

[left pier]

https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/5107

[drifting arch]

@rapid hornet I've got Hopper for Mac...that's kinda similar to Ghidra...

much easier to use...

@rapid hornet can you send the .bin or .elf? I'll open it in Hopper to see if I can find something.

[left pier]

CircuitPyth was in that

[modern night]

What is compress word offset table's scope--is it just the error strings or does it go further?

Ok, I think if we try something other than huffman we can get space (I could be wrong, the overhead is rough)

[drifting arch]

@rapid hornet hover over words...it might tell you how many bytes it is

words[]

[modern night]

Huffman is great, but text has correlation huffman ignores. But that's a good point--it might be right for this use

[drifting arch]

hover over []

ok...it works in vscode 😄

I'm going to bed...nice to 'see' you all...have a good weekend!

[left pier]

Hej då!

[clever summit]

God Natt!

[modern night]

Have a good one! Rest and take care of yourself!

What do you mean by wholesale?

... Doesn't huffman let you store characters as 3 bits if you want, 18 bits if you want, etc?

This is the decode table! Right, I'm in full friday slow brain mode

[left pier]

Is this a fix will go into MP as well ?

[modern night]

I will forever have the itch to try the lzw(and family) algorithms on the qstrings. One day I'll be comfortable enough with the c side to give it a shot

That one was patrick 😄

[left pier]

I don't mind you getting blamed for my questions

[modern night]

haha my thought was I don't deserve the credit for such a good question

[grand tusk]

smart quotes are evil!

[left pier]

The /py folder is shared between both (I think) that's why I asked...
and I thought I remember Scott and Damian saying it'd be ideal if they were same or as close as possible... but I might not have been paying attention well enough to follow

[prime sentinel]

“Are they?”

[grand tusk]

I was technical editor on a book. They always snuck into the sample code and made everyone unhappy.

[left pier]

Ha... OK, I get what I did there ...

[grand tusk]

Time to start the #rust rewrite.

[modern night]

Would word length count be the sum of all words lengths? (It was like half a year ago when I poked around here, I don't trust my initial thoughts)

Is this because you're going from the start to the word end, but you're looping such that the pos is less than the end of the word, so you can never have the full word in that loop?

the at present throws me for a loop though

I mean--this was a huffman encoding right? The nodes should all be leaves

encoded bytes -> [Huffman] -> Values -> [Value Lookup] -> string?

A single character based on a bit flag, or a collection of characters in the table?

Aside question--during the decoding of the strings, are you ever worried that the decoder is going to run out of ram?

That question lets me think about where to save compressed space. It's not that important 😄

[eager matrix]

Sometimes you just gotta walk away and think about it.

[modern night]

It's a good approach!

[teal river]

Time solves all problems, one way or another

[wary meadow]

add an apostrophie unit test? 😉

[simple fractal]

lol,

it will become part of CPY lore. Never use the French apostrophe

[balmy tinsel]

Seems pretty reasonable to me

[simple fractal]

me too

i never liked having to find the correct keycodes to generate those

[wary meadow]

"Translations with two-byte unicode characters should be compressed"?

[simple fractal]

so will there be another pre-commit check to look for these ? 🙂

[wary meadow]

I guess that means an emoji translation is not recommended?

[teal river]

So what's the French apostrophe?
