Bought 3 as well, with cables and buttons.

interesting one this week JP

[midnight plinth]

You're welcome and thanks.

Also found the link for the buttons: https://www.amazon.com/Support-Vehicle-Headlight-Button-Missiles/dp/B07DG4B97P/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=fire+missiles+button&qid=1644355164&sprefix=fire+missiles+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-18

[cinder wind]

that is an awesome button

[ionic garnet]

I found a solution to people scheduling meetings during this time. I put a recurring meeting called JPPPOW in my cal. Then I said in comment "can be schedule over if NECESSARY". Problem solved. I'm the CTO. I can make rules like that!

more logic: let me watch the show for 50% discount for my electronics addiction, then I won't ask for as many raises

[proven crow]

I love things (like huge/funny buttons) that no one can come up with a concrete reason to buy yet they're just so cool

[haughty quiver]

the Arcade Synth Controller is written in Arduino (due to Audio Library) but uses button mask https://learn.adafruit.com/arcade-synth-controller/code-the-arcade-synth

[drowsy inlet]

Thank you!

[cinder wind]

If you're in the Southern California area and are looking to physically inspect some big buttons, I recommend All Electronics. They have only part of what they sell on their website and is a lot of fun to hunt around in. Here's an example: https://www.allelectronics.com/category/716300/switches-pushbutton/lighted-pushbutton-switches/1.html

[haughty quiver]

@cinder wind you wouldn't happen to know of an example of reading the button mask in CircuitPython would you?

[haughty quiver]

is this what the kids call a "thirst trap"?

[ionic garnet]

Speaking of electroncs addiction, CTOs, and work, I have been cooking up a plan. I have long had a vision of bringing accessible technology to people who wouldn't have access. Maybe lower income or other cultures. In my work I do the same and try to provide opportunities all over the world for capable people hidden from us all. I have acquired more Adafruit toys than I can possibly build in a year (or 10). All along I knew only 10% was for my experiments and inventions and the rest were to share with other people who are over the moon with the chance to participate in a collaborative hackathon. I have not spoken about this much because it there is much planning left to do. I'd like to involve my employer to participate but am also prepared to fund it myself or with a few like minded people. My employer has agree to certain proposals I've made such as an Adafruit-themed mcu/rpi to have a friendly competition to build the coolest or most novel thing. We did something like this at Jibo in house at our Boston and California offices and it was a hoot. Maybe th genesis of the joke "what do you get when you give a couple dozen PhDs free reign and some toys to play with?" Short version: Wicked cool stuff. Now kick it down to students or beginning technologists. TL;DR I need some help organizing something cool with Adafruit-oriented tech. I've got a ton of stuff and a channel to get more from our friends at Adafruit. We are paying for this to help Adafruit thrive and giving the stuff to people with a thirst to play, think, and create. If you read this novel to rival War and Peace and you think "that crazy dude may be on something, err, I mean on to something..." then hmu. my work email is rich the at sign thingy waverleysoftware dot com. Ideas, volunteers, other sources of supplies welcome

Hey 3d Pros, I've just mashed together a drone seed dropper and a spinning ridged plate for a hand-fan to distribute seed in my garden, but I am having problems with my power bank not coming back on (fine if USB replugged or power button pressed to wake powerbank).
If I used two relays (one for VCC/GND and one for D+/-) to hot-plug the usb line, would that be likely to work?

I was just at PyCascades and Gina, the maintainer of Octoprint was there, too. Darn

[dim wigeon]

I had a pi with Octoprint once that got seriously borked when I did an “apt upgrade” on it, and I ended up having to reinstall it. I don’t remember what specifically got borked, though.

[upbeat coral]

I have run Octoprint on a Pi 3A, 3B+, 4B+ and now a 02W and never had any issues.

[midnight plinth]

the solder bot just gets me always

[sinful meadow]

through hole soldering machine? cool, never seen one before

[dim wigeon]

Question inspired by the factory footage: What controls where selective solder machines selectively solder? In other words, when you’re doing a whole board why don’t they create solder bridges all over the place?

[turbid hill]

love their test jigs

[ionic garnet]

it was a clear and sunny day today

[delicate fractal]

@dim wigeon There's a coating on the boards that the solder doesn't stick to.

[robust horizon]

@dim wigeon answering out of turn, but I think the soldermask (green layer) repels the solder, so bridges don't (usually) form ..

I suspect being upside down helps because unlike when soldering on the top there's no way for the solder to pool

[ionic garnet]

I'm both a young folk and an animal!

[sinful meadow]

i'm a usb

[turbid hill]

I find when you solder through hole with boards that are through plated solder just flows down the pin and does not bridge

[dim wigeon]

@robust horizon @delicate fractal That makes sense. Thanks! I’m imagining the surface tension of the solder helps too.

[nova totem]

I'm sad to say until now I never really thought what "solder mask" meant when ordering PCBs

[robust horizon]

that foot switch looks fun to use

[turbid hill]

I watched a few of those extensive tours on YouTube of pcb fabs in china, real cool seeing all the steps.

kind of off topic: I need a small electronics workbench for my office. Any recommendations? It would go next to long computer monitors table and probably add a silicon pad

[turbid hill]

look at ikea they tend to have a lot of varity for desks/tables and such

[dim wigeon]

@ionic garnet I bought an inexpensive 4 foot folding table on Amazon.

[waxen thistle]

I'm a big fan of the Husky height adjustable workbenches from Home Depot -- they use a hand-crank to raise/lower them, and they're a nice solid workspace.

As for shelving, go to your local bulk store (Sams, Costco) and check out wire metal shelving that can be set up alongside or behind the bench.

hi!!!

[viral sail]

Good afternoon.

[shell mason]

twitch is good quality

[clever summit]

Hi there mr Callaway!

[inner spade]

mic level average -20dB; peak -12dB

kinda low. -- eq is good

[lavish patrol]

Good evening @clever summit 👋

[inner spade]

mic audio peaking at -6dB -- all good

Has anyone had a visit from the Gazpacho Police? 😄

[clever summit]

I am looking for LESS work. 🙂

[lavish patrol]

I'm looking for No work. 👍

[drowsy inlet]

can't wait for my 1x4s to arrive, along with buttons buttons buttons

[grand tusk]

hyooge!

[shell mason]

Larscade buttons

[haughty quiver]

thanks @inner spade !

[shell mason]

so many arcade stuff

[lavish patrol]

Big honking buttons.

[shell mason]

Andy that could add some speakers to it

[clever summit]

You win.

[lavish patrol]

😄

[shell mason]

[cinder wind]

wooohooo!

[shell mason]

it could be spooky to make lars voice with code like this

[drowsy inlet]

can that audio only be done on certain boards?

[cinder wind]

The code JP started with before he made it easier to understand and have print feedback: https://github.com/todbot/circuitpython-tricks/blob/main/larger-tricks/audiomixer_demo.py

[drowsy inlet]

Thank you for the answer @haughty quiver

john have made phone from borg

[clever summit]

Next to me on the desk is this little gem.

[cinder wind]

555-1212 should play something like "Hello welcome to Adafruit. If you'd like to speak to Limor, press 1. If you'd like to speak to pt, press 2. To speak to an operator, press 0"

[grand tusk]

attack of the street chicken

[burnt aspen]

we used to call these koelkasten (fridges)

[clever summit]

It is the very exclusive Audi phone. 🙂

[clear matrix]

I used to call time to make phone calls late at night while my folks were asleep - we had call waiting, so I would message someone to call me in a minute, and I would call time, and the call waiting would put the incoming call through without anything ringing externally...

[inner spade]

The older earpiece is likely a mid-impedance dynamic unit (500 to 1000 ohms) that was ruggedized for the phone (moisture, mechanical/handling).

[burnt aspen]

@clever summit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc5u9NOV4sE

[shell mason]

i have retroversion of that nokia 8110 4G one

[cinder wind]

that's really clever

kattni the kid hacker

[clear matrix]

The trick was to get it between calling and getting disconnected because it would drop you after a bit. 😄

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/evolution-nokia-history-gif-14757382

from that gif i have used them all

[burnt aspen]

with the ticketytick key-system you could use the hook to call a nr 🙂

[shell mason]

one phone was hooked in gof network too

[cinder wind]

yup I broke the same plastic off the phone I've been trying to mod

[shell mason]

having rows on inputs perhaps too

[ionic garnet]

late is better than never!

[burnt aspen]

his shows are condensed ?

seems he's wrapping up

Thanks, @haughty quiver 😀

[haughty quiver]

thanks very much everybody!

[ionic garnet]

I vote ambitious!

[inner spade]

Thanks!

[ionic garnet]

Thank you sir

your pitch was off a smidge

not too far though

[burnt aspen]

😉

[haughty quiver]

haha that was a total accident 🙂

[ionic garnet]

some of the best notes ever sung were total accidents!

[burnt aspen]

spam?

[shell mason]

https://tenor.com/view/ogvhs-thing-hand-phone-dial-phone-gif-18199628

[inner spade]

not an accident: it's called "jazz"

[haughty quiver]

it's a bot that is triggered by too many quick messages I think

[burnt aspen]

I see no worries

[ionic garnet]

lot's of great examples in rock music too

[inner spade]

You're never more than a half-step away from the "correct" note. 🎵

[ionic garnet]

as a vocalist and guitarist I often find a wrong note unlocks new potential

[shell mason]

when i saw that gif i was like JP would build spooky mystery box what dial the phone was it keypad or the ring one

[ionic garnet]

I think there was a Billy Joel saying: You can tune a piano but there ain't no way you''' get that 12 string guitar in tune

[rapid hornet]

@left pier ok, I'll try and give an update

[ornate coyote]

Moo !!!!!

[turbid hill]

I now want a bunch of your new S3 boards

[dim wigeon]

Hi, everyone! Still “at work” so possibly multitasking but I made it - yay!

[turbid hill]

Not at work, recovering from a booster shot of Moderna

[modern night]

Hi all, hope everyone's well and having a good day!

[dim wigeon]

@turbid hill Hopefully your symptoms are mild and short-lived.

[turbid hill]

@dim wigeon minor fever and a case of covid arm

[green bison]

Feel better!

[grand tusk]

Tinker T. Tonk

[ornate coyote]

I'm currently (as I type) PnPing more ProS3 and FeatherS3 boards to restock.

[dim wigeon]

@turbid hill Could be much worse, but still not fun. Feel better soon!

[turbid hill]

Cool I really liked the S2 board I got

What I find cool is how you manage to pack so much into such a tiny area

[dim wigeon]

I’m idly curious what the physically smallest (and largest) CircuitPython boards are now.

[grand tusk]

I combined the FeatherS2 and the 3.5" TFT Featherwing to make a pseudopyportal.

[green bison]

Qt is gonna be smallest I would think

[dim wigeon]

@green bison That’s what I was thinking. I think it’d be hard to make a board smaller…the size of the MCU, RAM, and connectors would seem to impose a lower limit.

[green bison]

Agreed

[sudden gate]

Excited for you

[eager matrix]

Hi Scott. I started my new job today. It's going to be fun.

[ornate coyote]

Is the volume softer than usual for anyone?

[vivid ore]

Smallest general-purpose board, anyways. There's a bit of competition if you include some specialized one-trick boards like trinkeys.

[grand tusk]

Yeah it's a bit quiet.

[timid plover]

I turned my volume up 🙂

[turbid hill]

seems fine to me

[dim wigeon]

Sounds fine on my end.

[strong acorn]

finally got above 40°F today

[grand tusk]

Just a bit too loud now.

[balmy tinsel]

Definitely louder now

[ornate coyote]

Qt is smallest, but also has less features. TinyS3 is the smallest 'fully featured" board 🙂 But I'm biased 😉

[turbid hill]

I am my tube channel name in youtube chat but not here in discord

[eager matrix]

Get used to no sleep.

[sterile forge]

Perfect

[grand tusk]

You discord chat isn't scrolling.

[ornate coyote]

Volume is better for me now.. I was at 100% volume before. Now about 80%.

[modern night]

Ok one of those plants looks like a pothos right, but what's the second?

[timid plover]

ping the chat

looks like something came up

[turbid hill]

looks like it's scrolling

[modern night]

They look great and happy regardless! 🙂

[sudden gate]

Hello everyone

[upper sandal]

honestly, adafruit.com/discord would be enough (but it doesn't work 😛 )

[timid plover]

https://github.com/adafruit/deep-dive-notes/

[turbid hill]

This is not a ESP32 question but about your work with Raspberry pi zero w2
I installed the CP 7.1.1 on a Raspberry Pi Z W2, using multiple SD Cards an hooked to Multiple USB host controllers (My MB has 4 Host controllers to choose from), I encountered 3 problems. When the CIRCUITPY drive is being created it's taking a long time and fails a lot. Lots of USB Disconnects and this results in lots read/write errors. changed cables and Raspberry Pi's. When you were working on this did you encounter the same issues.

[sudden gate]

Whose doing time time stamps … thank you !

[turbid hill]

I will switch to the newest

[upper sandal]

the ESP-IDF was updated, that's a good reason to call it alpha 😉

[digital crescent]

I'm so used to using the newest version it didn't occur to me to go back to the stable version when I2C didn't work on the S2.

[ornate coyote]

Gotta live on the bleeeeeding edge

[ornate coyote]

When is the IDF ever not updated? 😉

[dim wigeon]

The problem with living on the bleeding edge is that bloodstains are hard to clean out of the carpet.

[ornate coyote]

I saw a something in there @rapid hornet ! I didn't think it make it there in time... w00p!

[turbid hill]

I just love the pin cards that come with them

[timid plover]

@ornate coyote - any links?

[turbid hill]

I think adafruit should make a card book with all the cards needed for all the contollers

[ornate coyote]

https://esp32s3.com

[dim wigeon]

@turbid hill I’d think it’d be challenging to keep that up to date.

[turbid hill]

they are busy automating the generation of the pics according to Lada Ada

[upper sandal]

look who grabbed a domain name !

[ornate coyote]

It's got 2x STEMMA - one on each LDO, so the second one has user controlled power

[turbid hill]

you actually got that domain I am surprised it was not parked already

[upper sandal]

they are on the same data pins, note

mail bags are so much fun. I got parts yesterday and today and am excited to play with them this weekend

[ornate coyote]

Yes, same I2C bus.

[turbid hill]

Yes I got some of those Cytron Nano rp2040 boards which were really cool

[cinder wind]

those are some nice looking boards

[turbid hill]

lot of flash

[ornate coyote]

PicoBlade to JST-PH

Pro has ESD protection as well

Yeah, they work great 🙂

[turbid hill]

need to get from linus tech tips a plushie banana

[dim wigeon]

Too many good boards to choose from is a great problem to have. 🙂

[turbid hill]

lol

[ornate coyote]

@rapid hornet next time I'll also send you a new storage box as well 🙂

[burnt aspen]

thought you missed the revalation of your products @ornate coyote 🙂

[ornate coyote]

Yup, all good! I'm listening while I PnP, and kinda watching bits.

[burnt aspen]

no worries !

[turbid hill]

sounds mechanical

by the sound I would guess cherry blue

near field communication

[ornate coyote]

@rapid hornet Oh, you did the BLE bridge with AIOBLE? Or similar? All Asyncio?

[turbid hill]

same problem I have my boards keep flipping over

[dim wigeon]

I’m forever knocking things off the side of my desk onto the floor.

[turbid hill]

hah I knocked a whole bin of sensors from my desk all over the floor and spent 30mins collecting them all up and still managed to miss 3

[ornate coyote]

Sorry, I was at the PnP - so the background BLE scans are non blocking so CPy user code is not interrupted? That's all I care about!

[nova totem]

I have a pile of plastic from when I was experimenting with different other types to diffuse pixels

[ornate coyote]

That's really excellent Scott !!!!

[cinder wind]

make sure that sum is an int() ahha

[modern night]

That's really clever, almost a hash that way

[cinder wind]

modulo is the best hash code, fight me 🙂

[ornate coyote]

Upper Cut !

[cinder wind]

leds[0] = rainbowio.colorwheel( time.monotonic() * 20 ) is my goto for making a "I'm alive" LED

[ornate coyote]

Do you have WiFi always on, and connected to the router? Do you know your current (I) use when you are scanning and sending with WiFi?

[inner spade]

Heart beat / watchdog indicators are always a good idea for (almost) every project. I’m a fan of tacking a piezo under the MPU board, too.

[ornate coyote]

Oh, sure, I'd also expected it to be USB powered. I was just curious 🙂

[timid plover]

is that https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/projects/ble/en/latest/characteristics.html

for complex characteristics?

[cinder wind]

I was with you right up until you said "Hi, I'm Scott..."

[tame dew]

@rapid hornet thanks for the detail on that example. Nice to see it through your eyes.

[timid plover]

I figured I had some new things to learn 🙂

[turbid hill]

I download the two files from S3 the uf2 and bin, I need to write the bin first to the esp32-s3 then it should boot with a bootloader directory where I drop the uf2 file in. Is that correct?

[digital crescent]

@rapid hornet is there an example of this being used?

sorry if I missed it

[timid plover]

I'm still looking for where to learn more - what are some other python search words? ( traits? )

[digital crescent]

cool!

[rapid hornet]

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html

[turbid hill]

ok I have never seen a purple light yet, I have used the reset then boot then release reset then release boot to get it into upload mode, I have been using the usb-uart connector, do I want to switch to the usb port like how your connected

[timid plover]

thanks - searching for complex characteristics - getting number stuff 🙂

[turbid hill]

ok

[simple fractal]

finally organized all my after ski stuff. takes me too long to put everything on the drying rack

[timid plover]

eventually ~~google ~~the search engines will learn what you are up to

[simple fractal]

i am a google search pro lol

[turbid hill]

I have all the s3 from espressef but not unexpected maker boards yet

[simple fractal]

mine are in the mail. so eventually will get here

well that datasheet is clear

[cinder wind]

one of the easiest "dunder" magic Python methods I've learned from is the special ones for lists. A lot of CircuitPython libraries act like lists, so there's example code. e.g. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Pypixelbuf/blob/main/adafruit_pypixelbuf.py where you see __len__(), __getitem__(), and __setitem()__ so you can do things like pixels[0] = pixels[1]

[simple fractal]

that is impressive

[modern night]

People are crazy awesome. That's so neat

[simple fractal]

yes amazing stuff

[cinder wind]

https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB so cool

[ornate coyote]

Wow, that's really amazing. Especially when you cant buy USB-Host IC's atm.

[sterile forge]

That would help in creating a routine to load midi configs using system exclusive msgs (F type.

[timid plover]

could that be used as a USB diagnostic tool? ( pass through monitoring ? )

[balmy tinsel]

I've worked with properties before in C# is a complex characteristic sort of the super set of what a property is?

[timid plover]

looking forward to next week then! 🙂

[left pier]

Perfect topic I’ve been experimenting with the EZ Dock but I can’t make the switch.

[grand tusk]

[gaunt plume]

looking at the stock apple keyboard hurts my hands 😄

[left pier]

Its too thick... and I don't really touch type

[gaunt plume]

you may want a wrist rest?

[left pier]

the wrist support is back in the box already...
so a small (thin) keyboard where I can float my hands is working ..

OOO that looks cool though!

Something will be done sooner if someone submits a PR for it...

[cinder wind]

yes TinyUSB has USB Host support for HID (keyboard,mouse) and there's a PR for MIDI, but that's it for now I think

oh yes and CDC! I did not see that, nice

[left pier]

that is some serious advanced layers

[turbid hill]

looks like scott is a lefty

lol

[balmy tinsel]

interesting how long did it take you to make the switch?

I think @ornate coyote needs to make a tiny-S3 based keyboard design ...

[ornate coyote]

or maybe a XXXXS3 that's a drop in replacement for the ProMicro? "Watch this pace"... 😉

[left pier]

I was totally thinking that too... I'm getting into this recently as I'm having "tennis elbow" recently

Welcome to Deep Keys ...

[ornate coyote]

Bummer! I don't type enough to suffer from any hand/arm/elbow issues... prob why none of my firmware ever gets finished!

You've been saying "we" is that the royal we or is there a group? Maybe something we can donate to...

[modern night]

will there be a way for us to see updates after this spring?

[timid plover]

thanks for the update

[left pier]

Thank you... as a fellow Seattlite, I'm very interested

[modern night]

mostly once you've got parental responsibilities, will there be a way for us to keep following along

[viral sail]

Thanks Scott. Have a good weekend everyone.

[modern night]

Ok the automatic update was what I was curious about 🙂 it's been a joy to watch you build it

[left pier]

It needs marketing to get the word out ...

[balmy tinsel]

As a WA resident I really need to get more involved in this. My internet upload speed is sadddd

[left pier]

Oh that's interesting... maybe you can hand it off to a news paper group

[modern night]

Yeah, if I recall correctly the similar bill in Nebraska kind of died out due to funding issues

@smoky island Will there be notes to curate for your show too ?

[modern night]

thanks for the lovely stream! Have a great weekend!

[left pier]

The repo side is automated... but someone's gotta take notes.

(I should say, I think I fixed all the bugs in the automation)

and it is reusable for any playlist of shows

[smoky island]

It hasn't been discussed yet. I would be happy for someone to continue to take notes. But no plans in place as of yet

[left pier]

My day job means I frequently watch later \ can't be there live, but I'm happy to help with the automation \ back-end stuff.

[smoky island]

I rigged up a timestamper for the meeting this week. I may try to start doing them and see if anyone takes over, can't promise that I will remember to do it reliably when switching topics though.

Another approach I've not looked into too much yet is pulling the transcript log. But that requires using a channel owner's API key, because the transcript is not in the public data. Just means I can't test it on an Adafruit feed, I'd have to test it on my own content (which there is none of) and then hand it back over to you all.

[balmy tinsel]

Thanks for sharing! I'm a little north of Seattle / King County I wonder if I can get something going in my local county. It's something we really need in my area.

hi Scott, late to the party but watching now

what is sleep?

[sudden slate]

Hi all

@ionic garnet - you and I

[sinful meadow]

Didn’t make it today :(

Next week 🙏

[sudden slate]

Yeah....

[ionic garnet]

I believe you will be a Legendary Dad @rapid hornet . Hate the way it stretched my face but over my right shoulder (actually left but you know, mirrors) you can see my framed copy of Jibo on the cover of Time Mag. What you can't see are the the QT Py ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S2 with TFT feather participating in a Valentine's gift for my sweetie.

Congrats on upcoming fatherhood. I am very happy for you and your partner.

[rapid hornet]

Thank you!

[ionic garnet]

I've seen you with your cats and there's a correlation between how you are with animals and how you'll be as a parent

I always use the latest build ever since I bought a new product early and it wasn't supported by latest stable. I think it was the neoslider. I also have started keeping all active boards engaged in dev work upgraded to the latest daily (after backing up the contents).

[rapid hornet]

🙂

[ionic garnet]

of never mind me, I deleted my ranting question.I talked myself into a solution. This project is really cool so I hope to publish it when I clean it up. It's a "couple's communication tool" with a couple of creative twists built out of Adafruit products.

[green bison]

Getting started with the stream in just a moment. Playing with Feather TFT today pulling US Govt web traffic analytics. 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=hB2BG-BOLA8

[inner spade]

[timid plover]

no worries - I'll be mostly listening today

used circuitpython.org to find the board you showed - this?
https://circuitpython.org/board/adafruit_feather_esp32s2_tft/

out of stock 🙂 - added to notify me 🙂

https://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=back_in_stock_notification_subscribe&part_id=5300

yep - @rapid hornet posts the link to the google docs page about 15 minutes to the stream - anyone can contribute

I mostly copy the questions from discord and youtube with a timestamp when Scott starts to answer.
Try to catch changes in topics and important links

the future volunteer might be able to watch the youtube stream and create the timestamps after the fact, maybe could even do it while watching at higher speed playback

the benefit of watching live is easier to ask clarifying questions that might be glossed over - though sometimes those questions could come here to discord, right?

i think deep dive seems to get a few questions from linkedin - I have no idea about that and other re broadcast streams the deep dive takes!

did the update of the firmware overwrite code.py ?

I was away for a bit - but does this code run on the 'desktop' also - for debugging -

https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.0/docs/library/uzlib.html

it was the first link I found 🙂

here's a github link that might be related ?
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/6972

[upper sandal]

hi

you are getting a gzipped file from a url ?

[timid plover]

maybe it's not turned on in CP

https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/1789

says uzlib is not turned on for any CircuitPython ports. It might be nice to have if it's not too big. It should be moved to shared-bindings and shared-module.

[upper sandal]

there might be a header to tell the server not to zip the response with Accept-Encoding or something

[timid plover]

https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/1274
following links

can you save the bytes to a file, and then use the unix tool "file" to identify the format ( verify the one byte )

maybe fetch the same bytes in the browser ?

[upper sandal]

> curl -O https://analytics.usa.gov/data/live/realtime.json
> file realtime.json 
realtime.json: gzip compressed data, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 375

[timid plover]

also verify with "hexdump -C realtime.json | head -2 "

[upper sandal]

curl gets the original file, rename it .gz and gunzip

[sterile forge]

zip and Gzip are two different encodings, I think. In linux when you use tar to unwind them, you use two different switches.

[upper sandal]

mv realtime.json realtime.json.gz
gunzip realtime.json.gz

twitch question: OmiKoRn: How are you making the http request?

I like @upper sandal 's earlier suggestion to ask the web/json server to give you text

[upper sandal]

I'm looking into seeing if the server responds to accept-encoding or anything

deflate is another compression

apparently the way would be to have ONLY "accept-encoding: identity" but that doesn't get me unzipped in curl

[timid plover]

which would be a bigger step a) rebuild CP, or b) install micropython ( assuming that it could unzip the bytes ) ?

so it sounds like it would be worth continuing to try to fetch text from the server

[upper sandal]

it looks like the server does not have the option for not zipping 🤷

[timid plover]

rebuilding CP with gzip would be a great deep dive 🙂

unless there is an alternative ( or a pure python solution for unzip )

see https://github.com/pfalcon/pyflate

[sterile forge]

In linux it uses a magic number to figure out what kind of file. I think browsers. do something simular.

[timid plover]

was that compession or uncompression ?

[upper sandal]

"8 years ago" it's python2 😱

but that should fixable

[nova totem]

I think the directory structures were refactored

[timid plover]

another thought - the feather has the power of the internet available - maybe you can ship the compressed bytes somewhere else and uncompress them to text ?

[sterile forge]

Try specifing the encoding as UTF8

[nova totem]

I'm joining in late... are you just looking at having unzip type functionality available on CP?

[timid plover]

just thinking of ways to achive todays goals 🙂

[upper sandal]

the thing is https://analytics.usa.gov/data/live/realtime.json always returns gzipped data it seems

[timid plover]

so many things to learn - all this unscheduled learning 🙂

[nova totem]

I'm not sure of an easy way to merge the old PR into the latest head. Glancing at the code it looks like it wouldn't conflict with much that trouble

the .mk or .h I think both have it

Trying to but my esp sub modules are updating

are you cloned or forked?

or can you try building for a different board, the tft is one of the newest

[timid plover]

I haven't build CP in a while - but what branch does the git automation build ?

[nova totem]

Switched to twitch for less latency in seeing what you're doing 🙂

twitch always seems to have less latency

[upper sandal]

ok I ported pyflate and it works

(and the code.py shows how)

[nova totem]

just noticed that micropython had a whole uzlib thing in the extmod folder (guessing unused?)

[upper sandal]

the original code chooses between gzip and bzip based on the magic bit, I just copied the gzip line

[nova totem]

side note: I was able to build the tft feather on my fork (which is on latest)

[upper sandal]

maybe I'll look into forking the pyflate repo into a library for the bundle (its license is BSD compatible) then again, it was the first google result for "pure python gzip" there might be other options 😉

[nova totem]

CP already includes the uzlib library so if it is in the core I would assume that would be the one to use

[sterile forge]

is there a zlib library or module in the core

[upper sandal]

C python requests does unzip automagically

[inner spade]

In the interim, keep as external lib and change requests to detect gzip encoding and throw a meaningful error.

[nova totem]

If the code is semi-done in the core and just not in shared-bindings/module (vs extmod) probably not a ton of work to enable it

If it is worth it I can take a look at it

[smoky island]

https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/1274

[nova totem]

1274?

Yup no problem, looks interesting enough

[sterile forge]

II think that read into handles buffers

[inner spade]

Was the header stripped from the buffer?

[timid plover]

did the .read () consume the 2 bytes ?

can you put them back ?

why did the bot think i was spamming

I was trying to say that the content fetched with curl was similar

[inner spade]

Capture the header bytes before json.load ?

[timid plover]

I can't paste 2 lines like before

hexdump -C realtime.json| head -1

00000000 1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 45 50 41 6e 83 40

seems like the job for a 'peek' function

I think that's a good question to return to ( what does cpython do ? )

I guess you could just re-fetch / read it again 🙂

trade off instead of consuming more RAM

curl https://httpbin.org/get
shows the first bytes
{
"args": {},

[inner spade]

Thanks for the stream.

[timid plover]

nice to meet you all 🙂

[smoky island]

Thanks for hanging out folks. Hope everyone has a great day and weekend!

[sterile forge]

That is what we do in Cpython

You cannot read read the request twice

In Cpython the request results comes from a socket input

[wind spoke]

Watching deep dive after the fact, and found out about the pure CP version of BLE to Adafruit IO bridge with an S3 rather than a Raspberry Pi. The sad thing is that it was likely possible to do it with an NRF feather and an airlift featherwing. I tested the Pi version when it was out, and it was a pain to install and keep up.

[rapid hornet]

airlift is just as much of a pain imo

[open girder]

Desk of Ladyada - Stemma Sunday and lots of new designs! https://youtu.be/tro7VZyDfn0

[dim wigeon]

Happy Sunday, evnryone! 👋

[echo canopy]

@open girder Question is the QtPy esp32 going to have a GPIO pin to turn off qwiic for sleep ? Ultra low powe power

Camera question— Do you plan on making a board with the camera to plug into with headers and then a microcontroller on other pins ? So plug and play ?

Awesome ❤️

[dim wigeon]

@open girder With all the fabulous STEMMA QT stuff going on, any plans to respin the Circuit Playground Express or Bluefruit with a STEMMA QT connector?

[echo canopy]

That’s a good idea 👍🏻 I like it

Camera question… How many pins will the header take ? Any way a Rp2040 or other CPU could do the work and kick results out in serial ? I2c ? Etc

Thought I’d freeing up pins on a limited board like a QtPy 32 /S2 .. etc

[dim wigeon]

Thanks, all!

[ionic garnet]

Sorry I missed you Limor and Phil. Blame football and soldering my Valentine's gift

[ionic garnet]

If you're still here Limor I want to tell you a cool use for the Pink Feather RP2040. I used it to drive the neopixel rings as part of a multilayer objet d'art. It uses a pink heart my sweetie made on her Crickit and I used the black acrylic you sell to add definition to the neopixels. A pink Feather handles the duties of running the custom animation and other software. Rather than hide the mcu away, I am mounting it on top of a lovely wooden jewelry box with the mess of wires and terminal blocks hidden inside. I'll try to get a video when I get it all set up tonight. I still have a ways to go on a frame and enclosure for mount the Valentine's-inspired pixel configuration and animations using adafruit_animations in CircuitPython. I have many plans for upgrades to similar avant guarde nerd art. For now I had to limit the features because um, Valentine's day is tomorrow! Hard deadlines always inspire me to reach a viable MVP. I may not share the meaning of the rings and their relative size and position within the stenceled pink heart because it's kind of mushy. Being mushy in a the most nerdy way possible makes this something very personal for her. I have known this women since we were both 16 in high school and live together now in Sturbridge, MA 35 miles from where we datad as teens. It gets mushier from here. But... Pink Feather RP2040 as a feature part of the artistic statement, a combination of components I've purchased from Adafruit artistically merged with a thin with intricate pink heard stenceled on it. Sue gave that to me, and I non-destructively turned into another artistic piece that we built together. Mushy, mushy, mushy... Trivia: What TV show from the 60s or 70s featured a line "Mushy, Mushy, Mushy" in an epic scene?

Hi folks, not sure if I can appear live tonight, but here is a one minute video and quick explanation of this Valentine's day project. I accidentally fried the original config of neopixel rings but found a suitable replacement in a thin shadow box that looked decent with the same animations. All CircruitPython using a Pink Feather RP2040 as the controller. Hopefully this uploads. Downgrade to 420p

still much to do. We must reframe it and allow it to be hung. But fun project. She surprised me with the pink heart stencil on glass, I surprised her by non-destructively creating my kind of craft. It's a mutually contributed Valentine's day gift to each other. Powered by Pink Feather RP2040, CircuitPython, ...
