Hello folks 👋 I'm starting up the stream in just moment. Taking another dive into the core for a bit today, and then unboxing a new toy that I am pretty excited about. Hang out here in the chat and follow along on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/foamyguy_twitch or Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf6RRD11PX0
grand tusk
Bubbles runs on the pi zero 2 W (hdmi).
Now I'm just watching it run.
Got it running on the TFT FeatherWing 3.5 also.
I should try that. I have another PI zero I could use.
It's pretty easy to set up the broadcom (pi 4/pi zero 2) CircuitPython port.
These print to the gdb console?
Erase usually writes all ones. When you write you're just changing ones to zeros.
grand tusk
'\t' is chr(0x09)
vagrant flax
Nice!
vagrant flax
I'm good, thanks!
I'm excited about this fix, it will allow me to remove a couple of FRAM workarounds 😄
grand tusk
FRAM is on my wishlist.
vagrant flax
The FRAMs are great! I used the I2C one, best part is I can reclaim it for something else when this fix is in
vagrant flax
That's a great point
grand tusk
I just learned about angle brackets this week.
vagrant flax
That's a great use for it
grand tusk
Sounds like a fun game.
vagrant flax
My use is much more mundane, I made a macro pad thingy with some arcade buttons and I use it with 2 different computers, so I want it to remember which config to use across boots
vagrant flax
Sure! I'll test as soon as it's in the next beta
grand tusk
I think qstrdefsport.h should be excluded from the formatting check.
I think the board.c change is okay.
I think /sd/lib allows you to load libraries from an SD card.
🎉 Nice work!
vagrant flax
Oh I was just looking at one of those earlier 😮
Can you use Arduino/CP with those picosystems?
Ah CP, nice
RP2040 support is really spotty on Arduino
CP is just fine for RP2040
grand tusk
I wrote the ArduinoISP sketch. Now I use circuitpython. Now I am happy.
vagrant flax
I was about to mention that actually, the parallax backgrounds are nice
I'm not sure about this specific device/environment, but usually you get a VSYNC interrupt just before the screen is about to refresh
That pin is probably related to that somehow
(That's useful for many cool special effects)
Also helps prevent screen tearing
nice 🥳
grand tusk
Run bubbles on it!
You can use board.DISPLAY
You need adafruit_display_shapes
and adafruit_fancyled
vagrant flax
Nice catch!
grand tusk
The rectangle is all the colors in the palette.
Thanks for running it. 😄
I don't know if bubbles travel in herds, but it works.
They wrap left to right.
They move off the top and then back in through the bottom.
If you hit a key it stops. That's a PI zero 2 W requirement.
Ctrl-C doesn't work on the pi.
Cats have priority always.
hotwheel is a gradient, palette_lookup extracts the actual colors.
We have a neighbor cat that is always visiting our house.
Lookup takes 0.0 to 1.0.
https://learn.adafruit.com/fancyled-library-for-circuitpython -- I use it for color gradients.
Adding an accelerometer would be cool. Also letting the bubbles bounce off each other.
vagrant flax
I've often wondered how feasible a simple 2D physics engine would be on these beefier MCUs 🤔
Something like Box2D
Probably the biggest difficulty is lack of native floating point math?
Oh yeah Gorillas is awesome lol
this was one of my favorite games to clone when I was a kid
Yeah! I loved Scorched Earth 😄
grand tusk
That's fun!
vagrant flax
The fact that this was in Basic and on like, every DOS computer was awesome
I learned a lot from Gorillas
Oh that's rad!
Very cool idea

I missed the Macropad show, phooey. I love my pad (from Adabox) and at the discount price I probably would have picked up a couple more. It's a thing of beauty. My new job has a password gauntlet to get in, so my NeoTrinky isn't quite up for it. I'll probably program my macropad with all the crap I have to type. (And maybe add the mouse wiggler to boot). For now, I'll live with the Macropad I've got, though.

Hey @ornate coyote

i was thinking like back wen like x86 processors before the Pentium 3 had L2 cache external?
ornate coyote
Right, but this is not cache - it's fully addressable RAM.
And it's not slow... it's just not as fast as SRAM 🙂 Def fast enough to do most things on a microcontroller.

interesting

Ok so I bought that MCP2221A breakout as my first foray into micro python, I was really after a simple I2C board. It's now several months later and it turns not everything required to get this to work is showing on its product page. This device needs a dedicated USB driver to be seen. Can anyone help?
I'm kind of shocked the USB driver isn't listed on the product page as a 'must have'

It is a Magewell USB Capture HDMI Plus. Correct. Cat cam is a C920. The overhead is a HoverCam Ultra 8. The Magewell and HoverCam were recommended by phil.

Hi Everyone, I hope you're well. I was on S&T a few weeks ago showing off my RIBBBIT65 (6502-based computer). I have some updates I was thinking of sharing tomorrow, but was also wondering if anybody had any questions or topics they'd like to to hit in my time, assuming I get on 🙂

MmmmmmARGhhhhhh... I already have one I'm not using. Do I need another (even at half price)?
ionic garnet
Now that was a slapback echo for the ages
I need one. Have many feathers and many CPX/BF

Howdy @haughty quiver

must have had a secret stash as they showed out of stock prior to the stream
upbeat coral
I'll leave this for someone who NEEDS one, not just wants one. Really tempting though.
ionic garnet
bought two one to give to someone else
I had one in my digikey cart but bought here now in stock
and half price
yay
I have at least a dozen Feathers

I wonder what the other drawers are filled with

grand tusk
Can I use it to drive a 12V LED strand?
ionic garnet
you'd probably need to connect ground but drive the 12v separately. But I am guessing
pearl shoal
Also super handy for AT projects - screw terminals -> 3.5mm jacks
inner spade
Made a PCB adapter to mount a PyGamer or PyBadge to the Crickit FeatherWing. Super for robots.
grand tusk
Whoa, that's amazing!
drowsy inlet
grrr, out of stock while checking out

I think the Crickit is a brilliant product. Perfect for how I tend to experiment with many, many things. I've got Feather's with WiFi, BLE, M4, RP2040 and the whole shebang

One of the best things is that it doesn't use ANY of the pins on the feather. It's all I2C so you're not going to conflict with any of the GPIO etc.

Out of stock...
ionic garnet
I think it started with 32 or something
I had bought some but left the screen on submit order. Almost missed it
@haughty quiver please tell them to make more. Sold out. I got a couple but have since thought of 6 more I could have used. Maybe as many as 50.
drowsy inlet
yeah, was checking out and went out of stock 😢
pearl shoal
Don't forget the sinking outputs - they can often be used as a replacement for a switch or relay
ionic garnet
I'm serious about the 50. In fact, let's talk Adafruit!
drowsy inlet
is there any difference between this version and the circuit playground version?
ionic garnet
just in the connectors
inner spade
The Crickit is an amazing desktop tool for prototyping. Very handy.
drowsy inlet
so basically the same, except the connection (CPX vs feather), correct?
grand tusk
What does it mean, 'seesaw only' (by the usb port)?
upbeat coral
@drowsy inlet the one for the micrbit is awesome. I haven't used the one for the Raspberry Pi yet.
smoky island
What does it mean, 'seesaw only' (by the usb port)?
the USB port doesn't "pass through" to the microcontroller.
pearl shoal
"seesaw" is the I2C software that runs ON the crickit... it doesn't connect to the feather's USB
drowsy inlet
am i able to purchase the one on the wall of products at the discount price? 🙂
smoky island
you only need to use the USB port if you are trying to updated the firmware on the seesaw chip that is on the Cricket device.
pearl shoal
It's there to update the actual microcontroller that lives on the Crickit board itself

Thank you JP for a good year

@haughty quiver Happy Holidays and thanks for cool stuff over 2021!

Yes, thank you all so much for coming to the show! I'll see you all tomorrow night on Show & Tell and again on Thursday for my Workshop show.

Just a thought - if there is a Crickit 2.0 in the works... replacing the sinking outputs w/true solid state relays would be awesome and adding a STEMMA-QT port (or two) would be huge 🙂
upbeat coral
@pearl shoal Well, you COULD use a Relay FeatherWing (latching/nonlatching). Maybe even on a Feather trippler?
pearl shoal
Of course, but there is no solid state relay wing so you need more power, and the space is on the board for the sinking outputs... replacing the FETs with SSRs wouldn't take too much room (or cost) and would let you switch signals that weren't active low. That would make AT projects much easier
We have a Stemma QT board that exposes a two-channel SSR - it works great. But it's custom and a separate board.
It's all good - I love the Crickit, just adding my $.02
