When CircuitPython autoreload is enabled, you may see: OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error in the REPL output. One workaround to this problem is to wait for the write to complete, but this can take tens of seconds. If you press the reset button or power-cycle the board before the write is complete, CIRCUITPY will be corrupted. A better workaround is remount the CIRCUITPY drive after it is automatically mounted. ...

Micro:bit based Christmas tree. Fun, festive project that you can get going with just a few parts. The code was written in MakeCode so its great for new learners. From BrownDogGadgets on Instructables:I bought a string of LED Christmas tree lights last year that you could program with an app on your phone. It was ok, but I wanted to go further and design the animations myself. This year, I not only designed my own music-reactive animations, but I also made the whole tree from scratch! I used easy-to-connect circuits and simple craft supplies to make this music-reactive tree.Learn more!

In CircuitPython synthio we can generate arbitrary single-cycle waveforms, so this seems like a great mashup!

PeriscopeFilm recently shared this 1950s clip of an Eastman Kodak informational short about film manufacturing. Even though the clip is incomplete, it has some really great factory footage. There’s also something so soothing about movie clips from this era (maybe it’s the background music? the narration?)Made by Eastman Kodak, this short educational film explains how film is manufactured. (Unfortunately our print is incomplete.) The film begins with animation of a roll of 127 film with the familiar yellow Kodak protective coating. Animation shows the layers of the film including the gelatine overcoating, silver emulsion, base and backing.

Had I taken down the signs before heading home or was I just remembering a previous occasion when I had remembered? Memories are tricky things, easily misplaced or transformed into lies. This is why memories play so prominent a role in science fiction and fantasy. See the full list here on Tor.com

Floppy Disk archiver and emulator, prototype is in!

We had a quest to do some floppy projects back in 2022 but our eyes were bigger than our BOM – many components we designed into this floppy interface board were not available… but now we’re back and it’s time to make the bestest floppy archiver/writer/emulator(?) – video.First is the power supply – we need both 5V and 12V. We tried sourcing split 5/12V supplies but were not successful. so instead we can have a 12V power plug and a 5V ~3A buck converter based on the TPS563201. We’ve also got a TPS259540 12V OVP chip to make sure the ...

VHS Cassette Video Recorder

This new build from Alan Boris has a super fun retro-look.Here’s more via Hackster.io:The VHS cassette was a popular video recording medium for decades but is rarely used today. When I needed a simple composite video player/recorder for a recent project, I decided to see if I could build my own that fit inside the space of a VHS cassette. Using a Raspberry Pi and a handful of parts, I was able to make it work.

Researchers demonstrate rapid 3D printing with liquid metal

This technique can produce large aluminum parts in only minutes. These prints sacrifice resolution for speed and could be useful for rapid prototyping, Via MITMIT researchers have developed an additive manufacturing technique that can print rapidly with liquid metal, producing large-scale parts like table legs and chair frames in a matter of minutes. Their technique, called liquid metal printing (LMP), involves depositing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. The aluminum quickly hardens into a 3D structure.

Failing with CircuitPython #AdafruitPlayground #FeaturedNote @Adafruit

How to fail with CircuitPython All code will have errors. You might find it sooner or later, or the error might be in your code, in a library that you are using or even in CircuitPython itself! It is also very common to write some code on your lab environment, test it a bunch of times, then take it out into the field and watch it fail in lots of ways you would never though of. Exactly the same happens when you give your device to a user or a kid who will test it in ways that will ...

It explores the history of black exclusion and erasure in the sci-fi and horror genres and celebrates the terrific and impressive legacy black artists were able to build in these spaces anyway. Lastly, it examines the explosion of black stories and projects within these genres that are finally being funded, published, filmed, distributed, and more.Science-fiction author N.K.
