Hey 👋

[ionic garnet]

Hello

[green bison]

Cameras!

QUESTION: is this coming to circuit Python? Can I assume most new products will be?

[open girder]

yerp, this is circuitpython

[green bison]

Cool!

[open girder]

and open source as always

[green bison]

Oh I see the REPL in the background now

[lilac tusk]

Adafruit, kicking down the closed source doors and liberating usage through open source

[open girder]

tryin

[green bison]

I love it. I'm the engineering department at work, and this open source sharing community is wonderful

[lilac tusk]

Just decompile the binary 😆

Jk, it’s more complicated than that

[open girder]

all good, there are jerks that say we're not open source no matter what we do, so we're just going to keep doing open source

[lilac tusk]

I love what Adafruit is doing for open source

A startup I’m working on, I’m pushing that our finished consumer/amateur market products will be open sources (hardware/software)

[open girder]

i'm sure open source does not work for everyone, but it for sure works for our community, customers, and us

[green bison]

We noticed!

It's very different

[glossy flicker]

bartlebeats had a kiddo?

[green bison]

Congrats to them!

[open girder]

@glossy flicker yep!

[glossy flicker]

Woop! Major congrats! 🎉

[open girder]

🙂

[glossy flicker]

Night all!

[teal river]

Congrats to bartlebeats!

[dim aspen]

How about this idea? Route out the area of the camera so that the back of the camera is exposed on the back of the board. Then find a heat sink that is large enough to be stuck to the back of the board. And lastly stick the camera directly to the heat sink. Better?

Lol, they're strong little things

[echo canopy]

[cinder wind]

but can it be Eurorack

[teal river]

I gettin' 2

Bzzz

[cinder wind]

Very fun demo, @haughty quiver !

[teal river]

I'mma put one of these into a project I'm working on using a cell phone's casing :O

[rotund marsh]

Can Address be configured?

[grand tusk]

wha? That's not Lars!

[inner spade]

Going to put one on a Eurorack panel.

[echo canopy]

@haughty quiver

[rotund marsh]

Can I2C address be configured (to support multiple haptic drivers) ? Or, would TCA9548A 1-to-8 I2C Multiplexer Breakout be needed?

[grand tusk]

Yay! Thanks JP!

[vagrant flax]

[teal river]

I don't see any address jumpers, unfortunately

[haughty quiver]

@rotund marsh yes, this doesn't have address jumpers, so i think you could do it with i2c multiplexer

[teal river]

Or if your MCU has two I2C busses you could have one on each bus

[cinder wind]

pretty sure I2C address of DRV2605L is fixed https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv2605l.pdf

Y'all are friends with Adam?!?! I'd love to see him come on here and show something off!

[nova totem]

there has been some real cool lego projects lately being lit up, adds something totally new

[teal river]

It would be super extra cool to have small coils in a gauntlet so you could walk around and the stones would glow without some background

[hard hollow]

yay for modularity!

[nova totem]

make it all snap fit! I love snap fits now

[teal river]

I should get one of those sensors and put it in my watch

@split gazelle Good progress! Which sensor was that again?

Ohhh, beautiful views

[split gazelle]

Well... when one is available XD

Ohhh, saw

[split gazelle]

it's a really fantastic sensor

[waxen thistle]

When i turn off for the day and turn back on the next day, I struggle to remember my settings too 🙂

[turbid hill]

Lol

[teal river]

Simple, inexpensive, elegant!

[smoky island]

Nice! great practical solution!

[clear matrix]

The SCD41 is pretty much the same, if that's around.

[teal river]

Could also have a little display and buttons if you wanted to be able to adjust the timeout and see how long is left on the timor

[teal river]

That's currently out of stock too, but I'll add it to my notifications. Is the 41 more sensitive or something?

[clear matrix]

Wider range, but CircuitPython doesn't support the wider range anyway, so they're basically the same.

IIRC.

[pearl shoal]

I looked that that - it's ALMOST right. You need to start the timer on an off signal, so you'd need some kind of inverter... plus I had all these parts around 🙂

[waxen thistle]

A landing pad for alien spaceships? Indeed.

[teal river]

Ahh... Only a $10 difference, so if that one comes in stock first, I'll grab that first. Thanks!

[pearl shoal]

Sorry - I thought you meant the turn-off circuit

Snek madness!

I've seen DIN rails in a handful of server cabinets

[waxen thistle]

PLC controls.

[nimble jackal]

Inside of kiosks

[pearl shoal]

Telco closets

[teal river]

DIN rails are certainly not common in server racks to my knowledge, but I have seen them used for sensors and stuff

[upbeat coral]

I wish I had 1/10 of 1 percent of the din rail stuff I threw away when decommishioning panels 😦

[digital crescent]

since we are talking din rails: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4885356

Question: Do y'all have company titles?

[turbid hill]

QUESTION: The induction ring can it be a square/rectangle/triangle shaped and still work.

[balmy steppe]

Here’s kind of a random question but if you could tell yourself from three years ago any advise, what would it be?

[ionic garnet]

Question: I understand the difference between different real-time clocks is typically precision. If I am creating a simple clock using matrix LEDs or concentric rings. Is the less expensive PCF8523 enough? I’m trying one now and also have a couple of other more precise/expensive RTCs.I don’t need precision past +- a second or two.

[delicate fractal]

I'm pretty sure most EU countries use DIN rails in standard circuit breaker panels

[left junco]

Question: Is there a way to switch power off/on through a thin plastic enclosure? I have a LiPo battery (and backpack+ItsyBitsy) inside a plastic 'thing', but no way of turning it all on/off. Thinking a magnet might do it.

[echo canopy]

Question: Our neighborhood has had an increase in late night crime. I am looking to do some Analysis, what would be the best light sensor for “mapping” readings around our neighbors.. anything that would go into very low Lumens? Wide range of values ?

[teal river]

I like flat. Cat Wrangler and Blinka Shirt Wearer are my favorites

[robust horizon]

@ionic garnet yeah, the precision is the major difference from my experience. How many seconds per day or month can it gain/lose, usually stated in "parts per million"

[teal river]

Question: Is there any disadvantage to leaving print statements in your code if your project will NOT be connected to serial when in use?

[dense cliff]

relax and enjoy

[robust horizon]

we're pretty spoiled by how our phones are synchronized to super precise clocks, but really if it's for the equivalent of an analog wall clock even a few minutes here or there isn't too important

[ionic garnet]

right

[teal river]

Precision != accuracy -- precision is how fine of a unit you're measuring [seconds, microseconds, nanoseconds], accuracy is how close you are or how low your drift is [+/-1 second over the course of an hour, or over the course of a day, week, month, etc.]

Ok, I can leave my half-print code as is then XD

[waxen thistle]

My advice to myself 3 years ago:

Life is going to be a lot harder than you imagine. Remember to take care of yourself, be kind to others.

Do not underestimate the value of being prepared -- having tools, resources, and saved income to weather out a "storm." There's a level of comfort that can't be overstated when you don't have to worry when/if things go upside-down.

Question: How much experience do you need to gain the title Blinka Shirt Wearer?

[turbid hill]

the neibor question

[ashen dove]

one 65 one too

[echo canopy]

@open girder

[teal river]

Ohhh, so to gain the title you must gain the shirt... I'll try to find something impressive in 3D printing for them!

[robust horizon]

@teal river it may be the case that your debug prints also affect the speed of your program. For instance, if you want to print(a value that takes 1s to compute) it will take 1s even if there's no connected PC to print it to. (my answer may be specific to circuitpython)

[teal river]

Good show!

[robust horizon]

👋

[nova totem]

good shows tonight!

[waxen thistle]

Thanks @open girder for another awesome evening of shows!

[upbeat coral]

Thank you for taking time for us

[teal river]

Ahh, good to know. I'll keep that in mind in case I do anything that's time sensitive. Do you know if there's a way to easily remove them all?

I do hope I get mine in time! crosses fingers

[balmy steppe]

Thanks guys! Have a good night! 😁

[nova totem]

I had the same thought that next week is right before halloween

[unique bridge]

@teal river consider using a processor #if / #endif / #else statements and a relevant variable
I use:

    #define VERBOSITY 3
#endif ```

and then ```#if VERBOSITY >= 1``` before print statements or any serial work 

(for c++/arduino)

[robust horizon]

@teal river not really, you could try search&replace "print" with "#print" in your python editor but it won't be foolproof

[teal river]

Can I do something like that in CP?

[teal river]

Heh, dunno why I didn't think about that

[turbid hill]

that sound track is so familiar

[robust horizon]

in CP, you can write if debug: print(...) and it'll only have to check if debug is True or False. The space of the code is taken up, but it doesn't figure out the value to print

[turbid hill]

it's going to drive me bonkers trying to figure it out

[thin river]

Saw this a week or so ago... another way to deal with your print statements using deines... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--KxxMaiwSE

defines

[teal river]

So this goes towards the beginning? Totally fine with space at the moment, I don't think I'm anywhere near running out

Yeah plenty of space XD

[robust horizon]

@teal river near the top you'd put debug = True (or = False) and then you'd change every print in your code.py to if debug: print

[teal river]

Ahh, gotcha

[thin river]

TLDR - see around 16:50 point in video

[teal river]

That sounds easier than making sure every print turns to #print and vice versa with replace all, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Works perfectly :D

[robust horizon]

@ionic garnet going waaayyy back to my blog article from over a year ago, I don't spell it out, but it looks like the frequency error of one PCF8523 I had was equivalent to about 3 minutes/month. https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01594923755 (the magic number 32770.2 compared to 32768 as the ideal number) Also, for a sample of TWO PCF8523s I had, I found that simply configuring high_capacitance=True improved it to less than 1 minute per month of error (the magic number 32767.7)

[fossil thicket]

Thanks, see everyone next week ✌️

[robust horizon]

(that's what the setting is called in CircuitPython, it'll be different in Arduino or other environment; the datasheet calls it CAP_SEL)

[teal river]

Ah, ok, great reason not to do replace all for print -- some variables for GPS are called last_print

[robust horizon]

@teal river oops, indeed!

[teal river]

I was majorly confused when I saw last_if debug: print() things XD

[sudden slate]

Thanks Ladyada and PT - great show

[waxen thistle]

Happy Lars Day!

[teal river]

So your selection is somewhat random XD

iPad!

Lars has eaten John's iPad...

[cinder wind]

Lars eats iPads

[teal river]

I've lost like 3 iPads >~>

[waxen thistle]

Lars finds M1 chips delicious, as they pair well with a tangy mustard.

[lavish patrol]

They're behind the couch...

[teal river]

I haven't been able to find the couch in a while either

[spiral vale]

in the couch cushions

it is

[lavish patrol]

Pivot! PIVOT!

[ionic garnet]

YES

[waxen thistle]

The M1 is about as powerful as the mac's i9.

[viral sail]

Make it so.

[spiral vale]

M1 Pro Parsec

[teal river]

If you're not doing anything that's incompatible with M1... Then yes, yes you should

[cinder wind]

Discord is a phatty Electron app, so maybe doing Discord in the browser would be better

[clear matrix]

I had forgotten this fact.

[lavish patrol]

I used to use the Discord app when I was using Linux. Now I'm using Windows I use the browser version. 🤔

[teal river]

AHH! Lars ghost!!

[turbid hill]

discord app in both linux and windows

[lavish patrol]

With the Windows app, you can't exit from it.

[shell mason]

Lars Paracord planet

[turbid hill]

I have no problem exiting discord on the windows app version

[lavish patrol]

What's the trick?

[turbid hill]

find the hidden min icon in the sys tray right click and exit

[lavish patrol]

Hidden. Hmmm.

[shell mason]

soon JP need to make grapple for Lars?

[turbid hill]

windows hide excess icons in the menu with "^" carrot symbol

[teal river]

My search broke

[waxen thistle]

Lars with a grapple hook? BatLars.

[lavish patrol]

Aha. I'll try that. 👍

[turbid hill]

that "^" is right beside the clock

[cinder wind]

what's this about grappa?

[shell mason]

many games have now grapple hooks now

[lavish patrol]

Thanks, Found it. 😀

[turbid hill]

cool

[clear matrix]

Oi. Never found one I could stomach.

[lavish patrol]

Hi, @clear matrix

Works both ways.

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/knight-rider-k2000-kitt-gif-15959224

you could combine both of kitt in those glasses

[upper sandal]

the backstory of Kitt is that it's a cylon, right ?

[lavish patrol]

Shhh, shh... 😄

[teal river]

Cylons are actually hyper-evolved versions of KARR

[upper sandal]

O.M.G. that explains EVERYTHING

[shell mason]

Do the undo!

24FPS is life

You can also modify images directly, right?

[cinder wind]

And that guys name? John Park Lars-son

[teal river]

Ahhh, JP is a Cylon!!!

[shell mason]

the good could be like speak could be in as eye and cylon thing as ring animation

[lavish patrol]

You've given me ideas...

[teal river]

yes a lot around 1 sec

[cinder wind]

I am not seeing LED wall

Can you do the bitmaps manually instead of using a program?

[cinder wind]

oh now I see it

[shell surge]

on youtube unexpected maker ask : what emulation software are you using to run Classic macOS

[teal river]

Good show! :D

[timid plover]

very cool, thanks for explaining

[modern night]

That had to be a great feeling seeing the 'hello world' print

[simple fractal]

and i guess the heap size should be more than 'adequate'

[teal river]

brb

[timid plover]

is that guide in the normal arm pages ( under https://developer.arm.com/ip-products/processors/cortex-a ) ?

if you find the link to the pdf later -that would be great - not now

[modern night]

I think this might be it: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0024/a/Preface

[timid plover]

that's what I did 🙂

[tame dew]

@rapid hornet did you have EDID issues with the monitor? Between that and refresh rates embedded HDMI can be tricky.

E.g. BeagleV has a low, odd refresh rate and works with zero of my monitors.

Between that display and the ‘hello world’, you deserve an adult beverage of your choice.

Lol. I once spent two weeks on a floating TX pin for Ethernet.

Bad solder joint

[teal river]

back

:D

[modern night]

😄

That's so awesome!

[nova totem]

So cool

[tame dew]

I hacked the heck out of lwip to print debug info. And then I said “wait. Why does this bit NEVER change?”

Reminds me of your bad red diode on the led a while back.

[sudden gate]

Excellent work

[balmy tinsel]

That scroll though

[nova totem]

Scrolling always seemed slow to me on a 480x320 display I have on a ESP32S2 and RP2040 when I tested on there

[modern night]

Is the unit of scroll size constant as you scroll?

[timid plover]

is there an API that does 'hardware' (GPU) type support for scrolling

[teal river]

Would this build work on any other version of the Pi? Or only the CM4?

Hmm

[modern night]

🥳 🥳 🥳 That's amazing

[teal river]

Yay USB!

[left pier]

Way to go Scott !

[tame dew]

🍻

[sudden gate]

Let’s see

[teal river]

I'm off for my walk, less and less time every day... ttyl!

Have fun!

[tame dew]

I’m so excited by this progress!

[left pier]

Slow and Low (close to the metal)..
That is the tempo..

[timid plover]

why did you need more endpoints?

[ornate coyote]

Are they salted or un-salted caches? I def prefer un-salted!

No, you didn't say cashews, but this talk of caches is making me hungry for some cashews!

Hi everyone- I'm joining a bit late. I hope everyone is doing well!

Is Adafruit going to sell the Blues Wireless Swan Father Board? It would be cool since it also is supported by Edge Impulse and their starter kit includes their cellular data card.

@timid plover, the live notes are also great for when I have to take calls and then I'm trying to figure what's going on. ty! 🙏

wow that is a old game

[tame dew]

Some of us were born before 1977

Break stuff! Smash it!

[modern night]

I need to start getting in the habit of committing before I start smashing around in my code. I rely on ctrl+z too often

[tame dew]

Also “git checkout -b sandbox”

Commits to master and then “git reset —hard origin/master” doesn’t ruin your day

Bit more than a few times by going too fast

[left pier]

You can also git stash things, but I've never been proficient at that.

[tame dew]

I’ve had a few git stashes confuse me days after the fact. 😂

I work in multiple release/stable branches constantly (in multiple repos)

[simple fractal]

i'm always on a branch. holding on.

my gym time this morning knocked me out. bike intervals.

[tame dew]

@rapid hornet does math on Friday 🧮

[eager matrix]

I've only used stash once successfully and that was for a really temporary thing I wanted to try. It's usually just as easy to create a new branch.

[simple fractal]

yes same here. as far as stash.

[cinder wind]

1.5MB?! jeez what is this an Electron app? 🙃

[tame dew]

I do entirely too much “git rebase -i HEAD~42”, so stash is my friend and nemesis

[tame dew]

Next @rapid hornet implements snaps in CP

[simple fractal]

i've been reading through this rpi4 baremetal os. its really readable https://www.rpi4os.com/

[tame dew]

TIL. Always wondered what the garbled alphabet soup was for (nGnRnE)

“Aggressively cache-able”

No, i just didn’t look it up so the variable names were “huh?”

[balmy tinsel]

Is the plan to have the raspberry pi show up as a mass storage device like other cp boards?

Interesting I'm excited to see what Circuit python can do on a pi board. I was curious how well they would behave as a mass storage drive since they're much closer to being a full fledged pc than other cp devices.

[eager matrix]

@simple fractal That tutorial looks pretty cool and is ongoing. I'm def going to check it out in depth. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to write an OS in my first job out of college in the late 80s. It was a Unix compatible OS for a proprietary multiprocessor system based on a 60020. Oddly enough, this was for a company here in Buffalo whose product was law firm automation. It was a team of 2 so I got my hands dirty.

[timid plover]

68020 ?

[eager matrix]

I'm old. It was among the first 32 bit processors available for general computing. Sun computers were based on them

[timid plover]

can you paste in that program t()

[tame dew]

Hazaah! Unbroken at least.

[cinder wind]

that's really cool tho!

[balmy tinsel]

It feels a little quicker to me

[eager matrix]

You've created the big bang!

[cinder wind]

So big question...if I submit a PR that allows booty.py as code.py alternative if in Pirate language mode, will it be accepted?

[tame dew]

treasurearggh.py

[cinder wind]

yarrr if yer a pirate, both work

[sudden gate]

@rapid hornet Thanks for another Deep Dive … and bringing in the weekend!! Have a Great One!

I just got back XD seeya Scott!

[green bison]

Missed this one but can't wait to see the developments of CP on the pi :)

[teal river]

You can always watch it later :D

[green bison]

That's what I meant but wasn't clear about:)

[teal river]

ah, fair, lol

[eager matrix]

@rapid hornet I am rewatching part of today's deep dive because my mother butt dialed me on facetime (hee hee) and you mentioned not knowing what bss is. That is uninitialized data. The data section is initialized data which needs to be loaded from the elf file and bss is data which needs to be allocated but doesn't need anything in the file. Typically it is also set to zero as well. I think it stands for block start symbol or something like that.

[rapid hornet]

thanks! I added you as a deep diver

[last coral]

I’m also catching up on the deep dives. Great job @rapid hornet. Impressive seeing CircuitPython output HDMI.

Makes me want to try and port it to my Terasic DE0-Nano-SoC for a fully open source solution including the video driver.

[green bison]

Can't wait to use HDMI in CP

[green bison]

Haircut looks good scott!

[sudden slate]

Thanks Scott

[clever summit]

I just finished a LED swap project for my magnifying lamp this week. 24 1W LED's. Turned out to be too bright, so hade to lower the light to 15W!

[teal river]

Hah. I decided to go for 4W because I only have 5 lights, and I plan on having controls for them anyway, probs won't run full brightness

[lilac tusk]

15W is a lot even

But 24W

[clever summit]

My lux meter says it is 7500 lux. That is crazy bright.

[lilac tusk]

My eyes burn thinking of that

[clever summit]

Original LED's was pale. Says 6W, but it used standard 5mm LED's so I would suspect they were not even the ultra bright version.

[lilac tusk]

Not likely

[teal river]

Uhh... I don't see a max power here, am I blind? https://www.adafruit.com/product/184

[clever summit]

I upgraded the lighting in the lab, and after that the stupid lamp cast a shadow with it's low LED outputs... 🙂

[clever summit]

It says 1.25A.

[teal river]

Ok, I'm blind, thank you

[clever summit]

Haha. First line I read.

[teal river]

I read it like 12 times and still missed it XD

5x bright!

Yup!

Handy thing, I use an old laptop brick

Aaaand I actually burned myself when I went to turn it off

Hi all

[lilac tusk]

hello

[turbid hill]

As a kid my first month was all about burning one self

[ionic garnet]

Fruit is yummy

[turbid hill]

Tindie is good

So sad my clue seems to be broken

[lilac tusk]

reupping

[ionic garnet]

I used to prefer C/C++ for all embedded work. Now I find Python so much faster to iterate. If I need to, I can still write the time critical parts in C/C++ if needed. Biggest thing I miss in CP is interrupt handling

Thanks!!!! Bye. @open girder

I like the distorto music. I'd get tired of it all the time but fun for a change

[shell mason]

great desk of ladyada

[teal river]

I dunno if I would buy the pink Feather myself, but I do love the idea of many color options.

[shell mason]

pink panther feather

[teal river]

Heh, I'd totally buy it if it had the Panther on it

[shadow epoch]

I don't know how to do Tuesday without JPsPPOTW

Maybe actually go build one of the things?

[teal river]

I would do that, but motivation haaaard

[shell mason]

lars was sandbathing

[grand tusk]

Now what will we throw in the well?

[teal river]

Quick, someone stream a product pick rerun!

[ebon stratus]

JP must be busy editing the ADABOX reveal show.

[grand tusk]

Looking forward to tomorrow. I wasn't going to wait for the unboxing show but I guess the joke is on me.

[teal river]

Considering it's tomorrow, yeah

[ebon stratus]

JP usually makes the unboxing rather entertaining.

[grand tusk]

Here's my pick: watch the adabox 19 unboxing featuring Carlo Sagun.

[vivid ore]

Adabox19?

[teal river]

My AdaBox is still preparing...

[haughty quiver]

The unboxing this evening is for AdaBox 20

[lilac tusk]

@haughty quiver you’ll be Elton John right? 😄

[haughty quiver]

When necessary, yes.

[lilac tusk]

Perfect

Just keep Lars on the piano and the unboxing will be perfect

[haughty quiver]

LOL, in the piano and he'd make those horrid skritching sounds

[lilac tusk]

😆😂

https://tenor.com/view/parrot-party-sing-nest-screeching-gif-4995179

Little known fact, Lars appears in the darkness when people open the Halloween adabox

[shadow epoch]

Is there a pixel art Lars yet? Asking for a friend. heh

[haughty quiver]

as good idea as a dancing party Lars 😆

Imagine the dancing party parrot but with Lars

[haughty quiver]

heh -- I'm guessing Lars only dances after he's done something terrible

The dude's a straight up murder puppet after all

[lilac tusk]

Heh…

[lavish patrol]

Greetings all.

[lilac tusk]

So Lars dancing with knifes then?

Sounds spooky

[shadow epoch]

Lars could use a haptic update? bzzzzz bzzzz

[teal river]

Can we send Lars to Pluto? Or maybe Proxima Centuri?
