Although, if you're using Win ME for this, feel free to vlog it, I wouldn't mind seeing how this turns out

It's not Windows ME itself that's making me suffer, it's trying to get modern things working on it. And most of it is because the hardware isn't very good
covert spire

What free video editing software would you guys reccomend? I would use Windows Live Movie Maker, but, eh.
dusty citrus
I used one in Linux not too long ago. The config files are still present.
openshot
I don't know anything about it but I liked it (and it was really quite a few years ago).
I'ved used it to import movies that stopped playing in the middle of the movie because something was too iffy (istr that VLC rejected the movie at that spot).
covert spire
That may help me
runic elbow
So I went to install LMMS on my WIndows ME machine, and apparently, it doesn't need Kernel Ex to install.
It just does it.
But it doesn't work because missing DLL files.

@indigo jetty Hey, I just wanted to thank you for sharing the project write-up for your Zelda gift chest. I found some basswood chests at a local craft store for a dollar each, and couldn't help but recreate the project for a gift to a friend of my own. 😃 I will say, though, that staining a premade basswood chest is a lot easier than assembling from 3D printing and popsicle sticks.
I'm also doing a few other changes: my ATTiny85 is carried on a DigiSpark board because that's what I had on hand, and thus for power I'm using a single AA battery and a cheapo Shenzhen-direct 5V boost converter. And finally, I'm using a microswitch instead of the reed switch and relying on the decent latch pressure of the box to actuate it.
I'm going to do a false bottom made of light diffusion material, as well, so the LEDs underlight the gift.
I'll post pics and such when it's done.

creative is a thing , but mostly people who 1 want to see 'their' thing made or 2 want to learn to do the thing on screen

Ruiz Brothers did a project recently where they move the camera during the shot, using an apparatus.
I know some people use it with octoprint to monitor their 3d prints from another room and also issue commands to the pi if need be over wireless so they can operate the printer and monitor it without having to hear the noise from it. Noe and Pedro did a wearable webcam using it but its not capturing video but only stills.

its perfectly capable of 8mp video though although the pi zero series is only single core. so might have limitations.

There are document-driven interfaces that are (I believe) deeply integrated into the 'underlying' OS.
Oberon and Plan9 seem to be oriented more that way.
Some kinds of displays can be thought of more as a peripheral than as a usr interface; parametric CAD is deeply parameter-driven though it usually has a full means to interact using a pointing device and a pixellated display.
The rc shell in Plan9 has a very strong impact on the experience of using a 'terminal' as they went in a different direction from almost everybody else. The most interesting thing to me about it is that the entire scrollback history is editable; only the cursor position at the end of the session is relevant to passing new commands to the command processor.

@abstract violet a few of us have pre-ordered. @cursive pike has said he's going to do some learn guides on mesh (IEEE 802.15.4) and the partcle boards. they seem pretty awesome. LTE cellular at $30 was what really sold me...
and in some strange stroke of universe magic, @heady spire recently swooped in and has been rocking out on nRF52840 dev for CircuitPython. 
abstract violet
@tame saddle have not tried any particle stuff before so it’ll be interesting. I got a few of the wifi ones to try out, Canada isn’t supported by the LTE board. Prolly will pick up a 2G/3G if I end up liking the platform
I’ve seen a bunch of smart watches based on the nRF52840 , would be cool to hack em and plop circuitpython in them
tame saddle
it looks like LTE-M should start rolling out in Canada this year (https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/bell-launches-lte-m-network-targeting-iot-devices/393705), so it might still be a possibility later. Is 2G/3G coverage still widely available up there? That is honestly what has kept me away from the FONA...just not viable beyond a year or two.

@abstract violet Certainly. When I saw the announcemnt, it was just a question of "how many do I need?" The answer was 13. I've been working on ideas for the design of V2 of my mesh nodes.

This is better than both (other than having to have centralized HUE control (which I do now). An M4 core is a win, as is 802.15.4 & thread.
@abstract violet I still expect to have an additional feather M0/M4 board. A dedtcated neural net based AMG8833 people detector, for example.
@abstract violet My thought for that is a feather M0/M4 with the AMG8833 wing... nice self contained module.
@abstract violet And probably something similar to handle I2S audio I/O/processing.
@abstract violet Simple sound recognition would be nice. E.g. was that a car backfiring, or the door being broken down. Dog bark, baby crying, etc.

@dastels does that mean that you have a use for 6 and are accounting for the certainty that you'll find a use for more or have you only bought enough for your initial requirements?

@cursive pike are the m4 similar to the samd51j ones?
@cursive pike also lucky #13 hehe
cursive pike
@abstract violet Same (I believe, very close if not identical) ARM Cortex-M4 core. On chip peripherals differ to some degree.
Well, 13 for me: 12 nodes and a base node that does mesh <-> LAN.

@grave crest It's not single use only -- trying to look where it details how the freebies are sorted out other than "both you and your friend will get one"
@grave crest and its only triggered if you buy one i guess, and will count towards a 'referral' -- sorry m8, this should be more clear
@cursive pike "In some countries, such as Italy, 13 is considered a lucky number. The expression fare tredici ("to do 13") means hit the jackpot."

dusty citrus
13 would be 10 in base 13.

not 1c ?
dusty citrus
10 in any base is the base itself.

2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4```Any number to the zero'th power is unity (one). Any number to the first power is that number; any number to the second power is that number times itself.

i am so used to base 10 , I have issues with others
im okay with binary
and some tiny bit of hex
dusty citrus
Easiest way to convert to the powers-of-two bases is to group bits. In particular, group bits in threes to get octal translation; and group the bits in fours to get hexadecimal.
fluid forum
they both have there uses
we could not have computing without binary
so what made you bring up base 13 ?

istr that vt100 emulation relies on octal -- if you organize the vt100 codes in a table, by octal, extra information comes out of it that wasn't apparent otherwise.

speaking of ascii.... is there aty good way to convert the chars to a color code ?
has ideas
dusty citrus
esplain that
fluid forum
I was thinking onece i get my matrix to work scrolling ascii could be a thing if I could set colors to charterers
dusty citrus
I can't parse that. ;) Most Linux terminals do support color codes. MS-DOS called them ANSI.SYS (driven) codes, but I think they may simply be from VT-100 or VT-220. They're well known. ESC[33;40m for example.
so-called ANSI art is based on them, and there were text editors available back in the day just for that purpose.
fluid forum
the led matrix i have can do scrolling text, so why not scollling ascii? covnerting what the ascii is printed in a colol ond the led
is that better parsed ?
dusty citrus
No I don't understand the term ascii the way you're using it. I haven't drank any water in a while so it could be that. ;)
dusty citrus
your typos really mess with my mind
cursive pike
ASCII is just character code.
fluid forum
right
dusty citrus
A is 65 in ASCII. B is 66. C is 67.
fluid forum
with 256 colors to pick from that could be easy to convert to an rgb matrix
cursive pike
To scroll on a matrix you will need to convert ascii codes to the bitmaps to scroll.
If your goal is to scroll text on the display
fluid forum
oh, I guess when I get that far i can work on it
it was just a random idea I was reminded of when it was brought up
dusty citrus
Hand-rolled LED matrices generally teach you that they take up all your resources and leave you with nothing else you can use.
fluid forum
dusty citrus
That's why the i2c backpacks came along and displaced them. ;)
As long as you are made happy just by the internal data the microcontroller has on tap to display on the matrix, you'll be fine.
Outside communication adds a lot (or too much) overhead. Of course you can always stop the refresh long enough to 'read the mail'.

I will just be happy to get the outside communication working anyway

@covert spire Win 10 IOT is not a desktop environment in any way. It's more like the Raspbian Lite, if I remember correctly

Not even that.
As i understand it Win 10 iot is like turning the pi into a microcontroller instead of a computer.

To me, Win10 is essentially a network interface

@covert spire that version of "Win10" is, not the standard OS.

I haven’t used that version, I’m talking about Win10 os

I'm confused, all this time you've been talking about the Microsoft IOT Core.
though I guess both are an OS in a way...
covert spire
Win10 Lite = Rasp Pi version, Win10 = desktop
zealous relic
it's not a "Lite" version...
But seriously, does this mean Win10 Desktop can potentially run on the Raspberry Pi now?
Or are there other technical limitations aside from the ones already known; specifically ones regarding the Raspberry Pi?

wheewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I just had an adventure
I delidded my i7-3770K to lower its temperatures and allow higher overclocks.
I ended up bending a pin in the socket and had an incredible odyssey finding it and then carefully bending it back
But in the end, dropped 18 C off my linpack temperature, so I can do some heckin' good overclocking tomorrow
It took a looong time because I also gave the system a thorough cleaning and I remounted the GPU heatsink as well. And there were a few years of really grody dust buildup in there.

I'm a lot more day-agnostic than I used to be. I have to think hard in the morning about what day it must be. I usually rely on weekly rhythms (trash pickup on Thursdays, for example) to stay ahead of it.
Saturdays always felt different, for most of my life. If there was one in seven I would be able to pick out by itself without a lot of clues, it'd be Saturday.
Wednesday is the doomsday for 2018. April 4, June 6, August 8, Oct 10 and Dec 12 all fall on a Wednesday, this year. /conway
tame saddle
now that's an interesting tid-bit. hadn't heard that about this year.
dusty citrus
I've been practicing the method for more than 10 years. The easiest way to use it is to memorize it for April 4th of the current year.
4/4 is Wednesday in 2018. 4/4 was Tuesday in 2017.
The other days are January 3rd (in 3 of 4 years; January 4th in the 4th year). Last Day of February (equivalent to the imaginary 'March 0'). 5/9 and 9/5; 7/11 and 11/7.
The hard part was what to do about the days prior to the end of February, under other algorithms.
March zero'th is a common fiction employed.
I probably use the system ten times each month, when I would otherwise consult a calendar.
I met a blind guy who had worked out his own system, probably 7 years into my own interest in the subject. At the time I could not understand his explanations (which were given verbally, several times in the course of our friendship).
"A year is a day" was one of his tropes.
One real nice advantage is that I can confirm social availability months ahead with just a thought "That falls on a Saturday -- I'm in!"
tame saddle
yeah, i saw the "March 0th" and had to giggle a little. that's an interesting intersection with Lewis Carrol; never knew he was such a mathematician...
