you gotta be really careful with breaking conventions, compatibility with circup and circuitpython-build-tools will be broken too
like it is in this case https://github.com/circuitpython/CircuitPython_Org_Bundle/issues/3
yup, it's the one used by the bundler
(and circup in the future)
I mean bundle-fly
oh yeah the bundler finds the includes in the files right ?
the issue is when requirements are expressed as the pypi name, and those don't connect with the repo/module
circup only knows pypi names if they are prefix-circuitpython-name (pypi) -> prefix_name (module)
but that will be fixed when it moves to using the json file
except the json file is wrong as I mentioned in the issue
now the reason people might use the pypi name is if the module is in the requirements for another module, because for blinka compatibility theses are expressed as the pypi names
at least currently
no not yet, it only tries to remove circuitpython in the center
when I'm finished with adding 3rd party bundles I'll probably move to make circup use the json file
anyway I feel like I derailed you with all that sorry
modern night
It's an informative derailment 😄
upper sandal
yeah it should
you have to make circuitpython-build-tools find the pypi name if it was changed manually from the default (the default is repository_name.replace("_","-"))
maybe replace circuitpython-org- or replace only if it's at the start of the string. Otherwise if somebody makes a module in the community bundle named: "something-circuitpython-organizer" they will have a surprise
I would do it like that
thing = re.sub(r"^circuitpython-org-", "circuitpython-", thing)
^ means: at the start (of the string, or line if multiline regex)
modern night
That's a weird learning curve right there, nice job getting a solution though

On a circuitpy implementation that does not work what removal can be done to make a clean install? In other words, what is the maximum recovery scheme?
prime sentinel
I'm guessing dropping a fresh UF2 and reformatting would be
strong acorn
@midnight plinth some other troubleshooting steps towards the bottom: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/troubleshooting depends on which board, perhaps which version of CircuitPython is on there, and exactly what isn't working (does CIRCUITPY mount? can you get to the REPL? Can you get into Safe Mode? etc.)
midnight plinth
@strong acorn Thanks for responding. I have a Feather RP2040 with a 128x64 Featherwing and was trying to get a program to work. the display worked but after trying to make it do what I wanted it stopped and I tried to load the 1107 example and got blank screen so I thought of reloading the firmware but was worried that if I did it wrong I would brick the processor. I have a green, yellow, and flasing blue that repeats. I'll try the uf2 but wondered if there was any garbage that needs to be removed.
strong acorn
@midnight plinth flashing color lights generally means that there is an error in your code, it's best to hook up to a serial console to access the REPL and see errors. What computer type are you using, and what editor? Mu and a couple of other editors have a built-in serial console, or there are separate applications.

Parts and projects make me feel better

You could use that to transmit Lars' voice over the waves. 😶

Super neat new-ish feature added by Jeff E: circup install --auto will check your code.py file and install any libraries it needs

@teal river You missed Lars.

You can buy such devices to transmit music from your MP3 player to you car radio.
I was using one for a while.
teal river
Ohhhhh, Circup sounds amazing...

Eurorack modules are great at synthesizing credit card bills

People calling the legality of the FM transmitter into question... Do they think any sort of FM transmitter is illegal without a license? lol
I want this synth so I can do spoop music

Very cool mix. The radio is in the left channel.

Are there DIY/open source EuroRack modules?

I find it very funny and meta that JP is using a eurorack module that is playing WAVs of old broadcast radio thru a modern I2C-based FM transmitter to broadcast to a real FM radio

@haughty quiver Have you considered mounting the transmitter in its own eurorack module? Would love to see a module with a telescoping antenna.

Adafruit modules XD

I'd like to use 1 of these to play holiday music in sync with house decorations, but I have 100 feet of frontage. Is there a way to expand coverage (within legal limits, of course!) with multiple antennae?

Probably the easiest way would be to have 4 of them that just have the same source fed into them

I think you can buy others with more power for range (but still legal). Otherwise you'd have to sync several over distance, which isn't impossible but tricky

JP, where do you get all these samples?
And are the samples grungy files, or is it just because it's via the radio and then being picked up by a mic?

Certainly willing to try that. Any concerns about interference between the radios?

If they're all on the same frequency, shouldn't be an issue

JP, where do you get all these samples?
Most of the sounds sound like the sounds that MusicThing has collected for the Radio Music module: https://github.com/TomWhitwell/RadioMusic/wiki/Audio-for-the-SD-Card

Looking at Winterbloom and todbot's stuff, it looks like you could make a EuroRack synth for "cheap" if you're willing to work on it!

Record your own samples from WebSDR: http://www.sdrutah.org/ for example.

Yes, three (I think) seldom used FM radios and one SDR here. Have a couple of old iPods with FM capability.

So far no working links
Hmm, the Google Drive link is the only one that works, 7.2GB
Number stations are still a thing
Some number stations have been updated with fresh new voices on digital radio :O
