Advice needed on how to start animating/coding

[prisma harness]

So im only 14 but im really interested in animating and coding. So I wann start learning coding except idk how and where??

[still verge]

@crude folio

[crude folio]

what are you interested in, animating or coding

[prisma harness]

Both

[crude folio]

animating what exactly

[prisma harness]

And honestly idk what kind of job I want, I've also been thinking of accountant but again idkk

[prisma harness]

I'm interested in like cinematic animation yk

Or for like games

[crude folio]

do you know roblox

i mean you probably play it

[prisma harness]

I used to

Not anymkre

[crude folio]

ever considered trying to make a game on roblox?

[prisma harness]

Games such as fortnite perhaps. The live event was so cool it inspired me-

[prisma harness]

Nopee, I'm not creative enough:/

[crude folio]

you dont know that yet because you havent tried your hands on anything

i suggest trying roblox development out

i have come from roblox development and it has taught me quite a lot

its the first thing i did, and i started at around 12

[prisma harness]

Hmm okk!

[crude folio]

im not saying stick to roblox forever but it teaches you a lot

you can check documentation on their api here https://create.roblox.com/docs

[prisma harness]

Thank you!

[crude folio]

download roblox itself and roblox studio should download on its own

[prisma harness]

How about cources for coding beginners?

[crude folio]

open roblox studio and start navigating

[prisma harness]

Are those any good

[crude folio]

its an entire game engine remember so theres an umlimited number of things you can do

[crude folio]

https://www.youtube.com/@AlvinBlox

hes taught me the extreme basics of the luau language

[prisma harness]

Ahh alr

I'll check it out

[crude folio]

also remember that you arent limited to roblox development

the roblox developer community is toxic to say the least so if you ever feel like doing something else apart from roblox development, go for it

there are welcoming people though so dont consider everyone toxic

[prisma harness]

ok im trying to create this milk weight sensor that sends a notification to your phone when the milk is nearly finished. How do you think I should approach the ask of creating an app to send notifications thru?

[crude folio]

hmm

[prisma harness]

its for science fair lol

[crude folio]

okay it should be simple enough

[prisma harness]

I only have a video to follow on creating the weight sensor

[crude folio]

you shouldnt measure the weight, i think it may be best to measure the depth

for depth you can use like an ultrasound sensor or infrared sensor

[prisma harness]

hmmm

except I've already purchased a load cell to measure the weight

[crude folio]

you can stick to that for now

[prisma harness]

I have an arduino kit so that may have ultrasound senser

[crude folio]

for interpreting the analog signals from these sensors, you can use a raspberry pi or an arduino but preferrably one with a wifi card
you can send the data through wifi in like maybe 5 second intervals

for getting a notification on your phone though.. that might be tricky

@still verge

any idea?

you use flutter dont you 💀

[still verge]

wat does flutter gotta do w arduiono kits

😭

[crude folio]

nah the phone

the app needs to recieve data from the lan

[prisma harness]

oh I als have a raspberry thingy

[crude folio]

great

so youre all set for sending the data

[still verge]

Flutter is really convulated I wouldn't recommend it as a first language, react native is def better for cross platform for beginners

[crude folio]

but you need to work out receiving the data

[crude folio]

or

android studio

kotlin

[prisma harness]

yeaaa

[crude folio]

[still verge]

That limits u to android only tho

[prisma harness]

oo im an android user-

[crude folio]

its a science project lol

[still verge]

If u use kotlin

ok then if doesn't matter

[crude folio]

OR

[prisma harness]

who knows maybe ill go global with this :0

[crude folio]

theres some services online that let you create simple apps

[still verge]

Nah u don't learn much doing that

Coding it is way better

[crude folio]

true

but

[still verge]

Look into react native then

[crude folio]

@prisma harness do you have a time limit? like when are you meant to show this project

[prisma harness]

uhm, in like 3 weeks 😭

i kinda procastinated....

[crude folio]

hm

@still verge react native not possible

[still verge]

zz

[crude folio]

he will have to learn html then css then javascript then react then react native

[still verge]

then ig ur gonna have to sue those services

[prisma harness]

lmfao 😭

[crude folio]

use

[prisma harness]

ohh

[still verge]

Not really I skipped directly to native bur I did have prior knowledge of html from webscraponf and css is just styling

So I guess so

[prisma harness]

exactly what I wanna learn, I wanna learn all of these. Btw she*

[still verge]

Is only html tags

[crude folio]

my bad

[still verge]

do after ur science project at your pace then

[prisma harness]

dw about it

[still verge]

For now since u have a time limit use those services that Mario mentioned

[crude folio]

ok then you can try to do what asterisk did but i wouldnt suggest it because only 3 weeks

[prisma harness]

yuppp, Im gonna do that like a side hobby

[still verge]

Yeah since you have no prior coding experience learning the language is gonna take much longer

I don't recommend it either after knowing the time limit

[prisma harness]

heh 😅

[crude folio]

hmm

https://www.andromo.com/app-builder/drag-and-drop/

[prisma harness]

oooo

[crude folio]

you can try these platforms

[prisma harness]

and if i run into any problems i have my dad for like adivce (IT person)

its just how I start

[crude folio]

yeah

[prisma harness]

could you please pin all the messages regarding any services I could use for easier access?

[crude folio]

you should search online for how to make an app without needing coding knowledge

[crude folio]

i cant pin

[prisma harness]

wait mb I thought u were like a staff member

[crude folio]

@still verge

asterisk is a helper but idk if he can pin

[prisma harness]

its fineee

[prisma harness]

good idea lmfao

Messaged pinned by @still verge

[crude folio]

ok

[boreal bronze]

To learn how to code, just create simple projects and Google what you don't know

Slowly create bigger projects as your experience rises

For animation, you can Incorporate it by creating sprites and models for any game you have in mind

[crude folio]

it looks like she is interested in game development

from what im seeing at least

roblox is good to start

[boreal bronze]

It uses its own type of lua right?

[crude folio]

yes luau

[boreal bronze]

It's quite restrictive and won't really give an opportunity to learn programming fundamentals

Using stuff like pygame or even scratch for the beginning is much better

[crude folio]

nah its not restrictive at all trust

[boreal bronze]

Since they teach the absolute fundamentals

[crude folio]

its not like she is learning classes and stuff like that from the beginning though

and she wants to learn cinematic animations too, and roblox is very good for that

[boreal bronze]

My younger sister script's on roblox, and with the syntax I've seen and the approach it takes

It doesn't seem right to be the first thing you learn

[boreal bronze]

It's better if she learns those concepts soon though, since they are integral for game development

[crude folio]

yeah but for what she wants to learn its good, cinematic animations and programming or scripting
the channel i linked will teach her about the fundamentals

[crude folio]

classes in lua are complex, they use metatables so its a bit confusing

but i told her to just start with roblox development and see where it takes her

also not to stick to roblox development because you wont get anywhere with it

[boreal bronze]

My younger sister uses the same channel as well haha, though I had to teach her all the basics programming concepts since it wasn't very intuitive

[crude folio]

yes she can learn other programming languages but it doesn't help in what she wants to do, cinematic animations cant be done in pygame lol

you cant do cinematic animations with sprites

[boreal bronze]

It would be best if she learnt python or java and animated on something like blender

[crude folio]

roblox uses blender for animating mainly but it gives an easy interface for all that exporting and stuff

[boreal bronze]

Slowly scaled up from there and move to unity or unreal when she's ready

Even godot is good

[boreal bronze]

2d animation is still animation though

It still relays important skills

[crude folio]

yes thats what i mean, she should start with roblox studio

its a basic game engine

and scale to other game engines

[boreal bronze]

Roblox development is only good as a hobby later on to be honest

If they want to learn how to code

They should learn what's mainly used to code

And the same idea with animation

[crude folio]

its just a good starting point

[prisma harness]

Seems as tho your younger sister is also interested in similar stuff? Has she started any sort of coding

[prisma harness]

Yea that my plan, I have scince fair projects I want to elaborate and make better and like innovative yk

It's all innovative, but includes coding and making things irl

[thick flume]

yt

[prisma harness]

Ah that's always the way to go 😌

[thick flume]

or ask reddit

theres dedicated subreddits to it

pick python as a foundational language and build on it

@boreal bronze what langauge developed python

better qn is what developed assembly

[still verge]

C

[thick flume]

what developed C

[still verge]

err

prob assembly idk

[thick flume]

what developed assembly

[still verge]

binary

[thick flume]

what developed binary

[still verge]

its just on and off

[thick flume]

what developed on and off

[still verge]

started with electric signals

[thick flume]

ngl

ppl who made MVC a thing should die

but also thank god for them

[still verge]

MVC?

wharts the full form

[thick flume]

Multi-Variable Calculus

[still verge]

ah

[thick flume]

its more fun than single var when u understand it

[still verge]

il leave ti till enxt year

[thick flume]

are u not in uni yet

[still verge]

no bro Im in A2

i told u alr

[thick flume]

L imagine not going to uni yet

[still verge]

shut it

1 more year

[thick flume]

in 1 year ill be 2 years infront

[still verge]

ur degree is 4 years no

mine is 3

[boreal bronze]

I'd assume a bunch of binary statements? Why ask though?

[boreal bronze]

I suppose it can be

[boreal bronze]

Mainly some python and using rs so luau

[boreal bronze]

There have provably been many people who created what you want to create and have published it

[prisma harness]

Where is she doing python?

Is it a free platform or paud??

[prisma harness]

Oh damn...well been go my dreams- lmfaoo

[boreal bronze]

I'm teaching her along with forums and YouTube

[boreal bronze]

No, take what they created and make your own variation

That's innovation

[prisma harness]

Yuppp

[prisma harness]

Ohh niceee, I think after all this I may look for online cources hes so I can gain the knowledge needed

Html etc

[boreal bronze]

If you want to learn python, learn the basic syntax then follow a guided tutorial of a project that incorporates everything you've learnt

After that, it's all about trial and error

[boreal bronze]

You really shouldn't, all the information you need is free and public

Only do so for advanced topics

[prisma harness]

Ohh

Mhm

Makes sense

Atleast I can always refer back to u guys for help!

[prisma harness]

Thanks:D

[crude folio]

if you go with tyu’s advice you can use https://w3schools.com to learn python

[prisma harness]

OMG YES

This on thread had everything I need now yayya

Ilk come back here tmr and check out these stuff

[bold token]

i scrolled and saw things related to game development

if you actually want good ones (that is not roblox ykwim)
there is 3 main ones (ranked by difficulty to learn)

• godot (its own lang)
• unity (c#)
• unreal (c++)

start with roblox and python or whatever first
but after a while, consider those

[crude folio]

agree

[still verge]

do unreal

🔥

[crude folio]

unity is the best probably

[prisma harness]

Ahh alrr

[prisma harness]

Thanks, I'll look into those

[prisma harness]

I was told to start learning c# so that's good :)

[thick flume]

learn pyfon first

[still verge]

c# 🤢

[prisma harness]

I wanted to but this woman at a carrerr expo said with the way ai is moving, python won't be needed or something

she suggested c#

so erm, idk now :/

[prisma harness]

is it that bad 😭

[still verge]

Why would u use c#

disgusting language

[prisma harness]

If I do happen to have that equipment, im not sure how to do the coding since im following a video step by step. Would it be much different?

[thick flume]

huh

[prisma harness]

basically, this woman said with the way ai is coming along, python won't be needed

she said i should learn c#

[thick flume]

nvm @boreal bronze knows more abt this

[prisma harness]

notpython

ohh alr

[still verge]

This is why following YouTube coding tutorials suck

Ur limited to wtv the guys doing u aren't learning nor you are exploring

[still verge]

In what way python won't be needed is that all what the woman said

[prisma harness]

ig so?

i can't rlly remember

eh i wanna do python anyways

[still verge]

no how would it he not needed

Python is still gonna be around and used

[prisma harness]

exactlyy, but I still don't ahve the knowledge to do it myself-

[still verge]

Documentation..

!!

And u have Google

[prisma harness]

ig cause ai bots use more java?

idk broo

[prisma harness]

like making notes on your learnings?

[still verge]

Erm yeah no

[prisma harness]

oop

[still verge]

No im saying use their official documents

Not youtube videos

To learn

Don't "write" down stuff this is different

If you wanna retsin info do projects with the stuff u learnt

[prisma harness]

OH YEA I HAVE DOWNLOAD PDF FOR ARDUINO, its like a list of projects u can make

and how to make them

small prokects

[still verge]

Start off with that then

[prisma harness]

i did last year!

[still verge]

Tho iirc arduino uses their own c++ version

[prisma harness]

but also, ig i don't need to use python or anything rn

[prisma harness]

I have the super starter kit

idk what that uses

it was c+ i think

or smth like that

[still verge]

yes c++

Arduino c++

[prisma harness]

alr

[crude folio]

its the opposite that woman is restarted

dont listen to random ass career counseling people they dont know shit

[prisma harness]

lmfaooo

[crude folio]

shes definitely restarted

[prisma harness]

retarted?

yea

probs

lol

[bold token]

ironic because most of ai is done in python rn

not really c#

they're both not too hard

but just conflicting with each other a bit

[still verge]

yeah but C# is disgusting

dont do c#

[boreal bronze]

At this stage, what language you start with won't affect your performance since you arnt building anything with large complexity and space

C# is a good language to begin with and great for game development since its used in unity game engine

Most of the programming concepts you'll learn from c# are the same in python making it easier to learn one after the other

Just avoid low level language like C and cpp since they're a bit too complex

[prisma harness]

Elly

Oh wow

I'm being misleaded

[prisma harness]

Okkk

I'll have to look into these after completing my science fair project

[bold token]

yeah actually it's basically the only thing python is good for in the industry lol

data sci/AI

[bold token]

hfhf

[boreal bronze]

I'd advice you don't for the first 4 months of programming, it's really demotivating especially for game dev

It's much more complex, just focus on learning the fundamentals for now

And maybe some algorithms and data structures after

[thick flume]

@boreal bronze what programming language should i do if im tryna do Electrical engineering

(im meant to do C)

[boreal bronze]

Not sure but I'd assume low level languages like c/cpp

[thick flume]

i need to do MVC on C 😭

[boreal bronze]

They're both very fast and efficient which is important for such systems

[thick flume]

MVC is multi var calculus

[boreal bronze]

What is MVC?

[thick flume]

imagine having ur answer questioned

question answered*

before even asking

[boreal bronze]

You replied twice before I was able to ask

Wow

[thick flume]

coz im goated

[boreal bronze]

Though shouldn't you use matlab?

[thick flume]

idk man ask manchester not me

ur asking me qns that im asking u when u should be asking my fuck ass universiyt

[boreal bronze]

All that's needed is to get the job done, if you can get it done with something else then it should be alright

Unless you have written exams

[thick flume]

no its online

for coding

lemme check

hell if i know what any of this means

but my friend whos at manny said he had to learn how to do math on coding thingies

i just realized i have free will to watch ninjago on netflix

smth @silk tartan doesnt

[boreal bronze]

Are you sure MVC stands for multi-variable calculus

[thick flume]

idk thats what brodie told me

[boreal bronze]

I know it's ee but it just seems a bit odd when you have a bunch of libraries to do the job🥲

[thick flume]

idk maybe brodie lied

😔

[boreal bronze]

Maybe this?

It would make much more sense

[thick flume]

anyway like

im gonna go take a nap then watch ninjago

[boreal bronze]

This is your first year aswell so it would be weird to do MVC in C

[thick flume]

perchance

we'll see

[boreal bronze]

I used to watch it as a kid, have fun

[thick flume]

ninjago matters more rn

[thick flume]

only as a kid?

i watched that shit after my AS finals

[boreal bronze]

They kept drawing the show out for too long

[thick flume]

ngl shit was trash after the nadhakhan season

every season after the nadhakhan season was straight hot trash

esp coz they changed the animation style

to a much more homosexual style

they made cole look weird

[boreal bronze]

Not sure when that was. I stopped when they took a small break from airing it on TV

Eighth season according to google

[crude folio]

haskell

i think

fortran

lol

haskell, fortran and python

and assembly

learn binary while ur at it

C is also nice

[boreal bronze]

I don't think any electrical or computer engineer uses haskell fortran or binary

[crude folio]

oh shit

electrical

[boreal bronze]

C and cpp out perform all those unless you're working on ancient technology

[crude folio]

didnt see electrical

[boreal bronze]

Oh haha

[crude folio]

yeah then C, cpp and python

and binary

👍

[thick flume]

what the fuck

haskell fortran sounds like a harry potter character

bro

just lemme be man ill ask gpt 😭

[boreal bronze]

Don't think about it much, just learn C and focus on ee principles

[thick flume]

man we should put u for uni slides

[boreal bronze]

Most of the technology that works in ee is built with C

[thick flume]

@south crow can we put tyu for uni presentation

hes much nicer than me

much smarter in tech field too

and has more uni experience

[south crow]

um

[boreal bronze]

Whats a uni slide🥲

[thick flume]

upcoming event

chuu pls i need my sleep

[south crow]

we could ask

fyre

[thick flume]

@valid forge

[boreal bronze]

Nono

[thick flume]

can we put tyu

he knows computer sicence

he can answer all the CS qns that we left behind

[boreal bronze]

I'm not good with uni stuff

[thick flume]

and on top of that

hes in yale rn

doing CS with a minor in math

[boreal bronze]

Since when

You're just creating a whole new identity at this point

[thick flume]

class of 2027 🎊

im not

ur graduating in 2 years counting 2024 gone

[boreal bronze]

I'd prefer that

Thank you for giving this opportunity

[thick flume]

realistically nothing is stopping u from entering yale

[boreal bronze]

Glad to be part of yale 🥳

[thick flume]

iirc ur ECs were brilliant

or was it ur grade

[valid forge]

?

[thick flume]

tyu is in yale

[boreal bronze]

I'm an international student so ivy's are basically impossible

[thick flume]

tlel him to do the uni hting

[thick flume]

UCs ?

[valid forge]

I can't if he's not already accepted yet

Or applied in general yet

[thick flume]

😒

[valid forge]

Stop being grumpy all the time uncle

[thick flume]

i sound my age bruh

[boreal bronze]

I'm not doing the uni thing

I don't know any uni thing

[thick flume]

😒

[boreal bronze]

I don't even know what UCs are 🥲

[thick flume]

UC davis

UC berkley

etc

[boreal bronze]

Oh that

Probably not

East Europe sounds better to me

Plus just getting the credentials to travel to another continent is a huge hassle

[thick flume]

bro

berkley isnt even hard to get in fr

@south crow got in because she mentioned her extremely trash english skills and they felt bad for her

him*

[still verge]

[south crow]

🖕 tangina mo

[boreal bronze]

9% acceptance rate for international students

[thick flume]

bro thinks idk what this means

[still verge]

9/100 ul be part of the 9

dw

[south crow]

i knew you knew

[still verge]

🔥

[thick flume]

bro just do hella community service

like 200-300 hours

i did 600 hrs tryna fix chuu's kind of ppl who suck at english

[south crow]

[still verge]

community service is for like us thing yeah

[thick flume]

man i should've actually applied to the US i had like 500-600 hrs of comm service ☠️

[boreal bronze]

I don't speak the language of the country I live in, most of my ecs and school work is done by me

[still verge]

cuz I have 0 but im not applying to the us

🔥

[boreal bronze]

Huge disadvantage

[thick flume]

bro lives in mandarin

wait

@south crow mandarin isnt a country are you high???

[still verge]

???

[south crow]

are YOU high

bro go back to sleep

[thick flume]

aight tlll me this on the day of the uni slides pls

[still verge]

i cannot wait for the uni talk

[thick flume]

wdym

[boreal bronze]

I'd be competing with people who have committed their lives to uc berkley

[south crow]

i'll be torturing viper to speak all the way thru

[silk tartan]

what is bro saying

[thick flume]

eh who cares i competed w ppl commiting their lives to NUS

[thick flume]

yawn

[still verge]

ok but did u get accepted to nus

[thick flume]

ill be saying wrong stuff anyway

[boreal bronze]

You arnt at NUS though

[thick flume]

didnt apply

[still verge]

😭 ???

[thick flume]

they got in 😭

[still verge]

to man?

[thick flume]

but hey they needed a gap year for it

[still verge]

yea

[thick flume]

na they never made it that far

[still verge]

thats the bad part abt sg

[boreal bronze]

Wait what

[thick flume]

somehow got into UCL but not manny

[boreal bronze]

Mandarin?

[still verge]

if u dont want a gap year for nus u had to give as lvls + 3APs + sat

[thick flume]

china

chuu meant china

[still verge]

i gave up on nus cuz of how stupid it is

[thick flume]

but HE made a mistake

in english

[still verge]

amazing

[thick flume]

yes pls do the guy who made it into NUS has only 1 physics module in his firs tyear of his physics degree

lemme show u his schedule

[still verge]

my ass is nto taking a gap year bro

and i dont have olympiad ecs

[thick flume]

he didnt either

[still verge]

yes but

[still verge]

.

[thick flume]

he got world topper in alevel math and chem tho

☠️

[still verge]

Im not doing aps bro

ohh

ur talkiong abt the ec

not thew gap year

[thick flume]

im so confused

[still verge]

nah

leave it

its ok

im not getting into uni anywya

[south crow]

[still verge]

gonna drop out

go back to my homeland

do some agriculture

[thick flume]

go to leeds becket university

[south crow]

thats crazy

[still verge]

😭

i dont wanna go uk at all bro

I just have it as a safety

[thick flume]

no @still verge dw youll find chuu there

[south crow]

BRO

[still verge]

@prisma harness , or any big projs in general

[thick flume]

wtf ew

[prisma harness]

Okk

[prisma harness]

So wait after finishing my science fair. Are u suggesting I just make other projects? I mean I did wanna make my last year science fair project a proper item

[bold token]

no, just the fact that if you are new to coding, it's really hard just to "hop on c++ and unreal engine and make a game"

you probably won't get far and prob give up

just learn fundamentals of coding first with smaller projects

[prisma harness]

Ohh yea

Sounds like a good plan 👍

Lol

[crude folio]

what languages do you know?

i see youre in some python discord servers

and jetbrains community server

i should probably leave those python servers

i've moved on 😔

[bold token]

why are you quizzing me 💀

python, java, c#, cpp (a bit), js (react)

[crude folio]

why not

[crude folio]

and ur in IG?

[bold token]

after ig

summer

[crude folio]

basically IG

thats crazy

[bold token]

I guess so?

[crude folio]

when did you start learning

[bold token]

why

oh

um

year 5 python

[crude folio]

wait

[bold token]

but came back to actually learn stuff in year 9

[crude folio]

you started in grade 5

[bold token]

but also I played too much val

so I lost potential lol

[crude folio]

damn.

[bold token]

year 5 British curriculum = grade 4 American I think

I have 5000 hours in val and minecraft combined

[crude folio]

technically i also started learning grade 5 except i got skipped 2 grades to grade 8

[bold token]

and I regret playing so much

[crude folio]

youre playing too much because you arent focusing on any projects

[bold token]

,calc 5+2

[earnest marlin]

Result:

7

[crude folio]

you should make something

[crude folio]

no like

[bold token]

I burnout a lot

[crude folio]

after half term grade 5 somewhat

basically entering grade 6

[crude folio]

im in caie sir

[crude folio]

idc go make a project

[bold token]

I skipped 1

how do you skip 2

[bold token]

then why do you say grade

[crude folio]

what should i say

[bold token]

these are the repos I contributed to (dog pfp is myself)

only 2-3 are somewhat completed

the rest is half done and burnt out

[crude folio]

thats nice

what are most of the repos about?

[bold token]

year

[crude folio]

are they supposed to be libraries?

[crude folio]

nah thats some british shit 😭

[bold token]

most are implementation

[bold token]

well u just said ur in British curr

[crude folio]

im doing caie in india

no one here says year

[crude folio]

i got lucky

the school said if i showed a decent improvement after i skipped, they would keep me in that grade otherwise they would put me in grade 5

also i was in africa at the time, if my parents came with that proposition to an indian school they would immediately reject

[bold token]

well really, everyone can skip

not like you learn anything in year 1-6

[crude folio]

yup

so you are

14

[bold token]

sure

I'm defo 14

[crude folio]

I'm defo 13

[crude folio]

no way you are 13

15

[crude folio]

mm

python, javascript, lua, ruby, rust, a bit of cpp

[bold token]

lua?

[crude folio]

i should learn java

[bold token]

ruby?

[crude folio]

but like

cringe

[crude folio]

yes i know sometimes i learn unknown languages

[bold token]

why

[crude folio]

ruby is popular

[bold token]

for what

[crude folio]

its still used today for web applications

[bold token]

ruby on rails 😭

[crude folio]

yes

and lua

is roblox

of course

[bold token]

ah yes

every developer

[crude folio]

i dont want to learn languages that everyone else knows 💀

[bold token]

Lua for roblox

[crude folio]

no like

[bold token]

but

[crude folio]

i learnt it through roblox

luau

not lua exactly

[bold token]

ig you can do vim stuff for lua

so not too bad

[crude folio]

i have no idea where else lua is used its literally unknown

but its underrated

its a sick language

[crude folio]

dont tell me you use vim

[bold token]

only vim and roblox fr ;-;

[bold token]

trying to learn nvim

[crude folio]

what ide do you use

it tells a lot about a developer

[bold token]

pycharm, intellij, vscode, learning nvim

[crude folio]

what do you use vscode for

[bold token]

I'm a jetbrains fan 🥰

[crude folio]

same

[bold token]

cpp c# js

[crude folio]

i been on webstorm for 8 hours ong

[crude folio]

so

what happened to clion

and web storm

[bold token]

aren't they paid 😭

[crude folio]

bro

youre a student

[bold token]

and I don't want to grab them

[crude folio]

you have like 2 more years

get it for free

youre on github

sign up for github student

[bold token]

oh

[bold token]

do I need anything

[crude folio]

you get every ide free

[bold token]

ID?

[crude folio]

either a school id, report card or stuff like that

and a picture of yourself

but be cautious because i heard they dont accept students that easily anymore

[bold token]

I'm sure Microsoft would love more data about me

[crude folio]

the time i applied, i got accepted in a few hours

[bold token]

😭

[bold token]

good for you ig 👍

[crude folio]

its fine you get like 2 years

go apply

youre using pycharm community

🤢

disgust

[bold token]

how diff is it

apart from ai

[crude folio]

the difference is insane

you get so many more tools

[bold token]

name

some

[crude folio]

i mean idk what pycharm community offers exactly but i remember that after using pycharm professional, it was much better

[crude folio]

wait

https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=pycharm&product=pycharm-ce

waiut

i didnt even know it had an http client

wtf

[bold token]

something ain't adding up 😭

this looks good tho

[crude folio]

you get flask 😱

gjango

fastapi

😱

[crude folio]

i did not know it had ssh

wtf

[bold token]

why are the first 5 js 😭

[crude folio]

i think people use flask + react

django + react

or something

[bold token]

yes but at least put the python libraries first

lol

[crude folio]

eh

btw i dont think the ai is even free

i personally just use github copilot

since you get it with your github student pack

[bold token]

not even with professional?

[bold token]

icic

[crude folio]

yeah but i prefer github copilot anyway

[bold token]

👍

[prisma harness]

dude i have to scroll upso much 😭

breh

it was pinnned....

[crude folio]

yesh

[prisma harness]

Guys I need help

With my science fair project

I have run into a problem

...

[crude folio]

whats the problem

[quasi gulch]

For DX, yes, but after what they did to their license... 😔

[crude folio]

what did they do now

[quasi gulch]

They added a price per install recently iirc

[crude folio]

bruh

skip unity smh i shouldnt have to pay for a game engine

[boreal bronze]

Unity is good for beginner game dev don't skip

Pretty sure they only add price per install after reaching a certain revenue threshold

Though if you do plan on developing a game you'll have to buy a subscription from either engine anyways

[quasi gulch]

Yeahh $1M

Unity's pretty good for learning game dev, but I'd much rather recommend Godot, or if you're experienced enough, Unreal

[boreal bronze]

Cpp and godot are a bit tricky to learn

On the other hand c# is quite intuitive and easy to understand

[quasi gulch]

Truee

[crude folio]

bruh

if its 1M

then its fine

i thought it was immediate

[crude folio]

c# is not easy but it is definitely easier than cpp

[prisma harness]

actually I thinkI figured it out, pretty sure it was a wire proble

problem*

[prisma harness]

nope

i need help

[prisma harness]

help pls?

[crude folio]

what do you need help with?

[prisma harness]

OH YAYA

UR HERE

my science fair project

the weight sensor

the calibration value isn't being set properly

its either something way wrong or like nan

[crude folio]

which sensor

are you using

[prisma harness]

Load cell with Hx711

[crude folio]

yeah i have no idea

@still verge

[still verge]

havnt dabbled much in arduinos so cant rlly help

[idle nest]

@spring lagoon dont u do a lotta arduino stuff or is it someone else-

[quasi gulch]

yea @civic merlin you could rly help

[idle nest]

oh he has 2 accs?

[quasi gulch]

ye

the other one's an alt

[civic merlin]

What's the original description and you copy paste here

I'm not on laptop

[quasi gulch]

the original question's answered

the one we're on is this #1260140518164398120 message

[civic merlin]

Oh he figured it out I think

In ig computer science

@prisma harness You did yes?

Though hx711 is crazy

[crude folio]

she

[prisma harness]

Huh

No i thought I did

The calibration value just isn't being set right

Idk what to do anymore

It may be something with thr design

[civic merlin]

send arduino code

I'll help as soon as I can

[prisma harness]

Like take ss?

[civic merlin]

Copy paste here

[prisma harness]

Oh yea smarter

But there's like multiple codes, do u want me to send the vid I'm using?

thats the first one

then when im supposed to do something with this one so I don't have to re-valibrated it everytime

[civic merlin]

sure

[prisma harness]

You didn't happen to find anything wrong in the code?

[civic merlin]

Can you send me an image of the wire connections.

Zoomed in

And a general bird eye view

Arduino, component, whole tjing

[prisma harness]

Idk it may be cause of the plate onto where we keep the item we wanna weigh on??

[prisma harness]

Lmk if these ones aren't clear enough

Like for the wires, i could try taking extra zoomed in foe the wires

[crude folio]

looks good to me (i have no idea what im looking at)

[prisma harness]

lmfaooo

omg I gotta buy a science fair board and write down everything and print it and im getting alte

like i need it done by wednesday next week

and its not even working

[crude folio]

@civic merlin get to work

[crude folio]

does it give any values

like what does it do

right now

[civic merlin]

rahh

[prisma harness]

im gonna try it right now

[prisma harness]

yea lololol

wel depends

[prisma harness]

look

it keeps being set to 0.00

\

now its nan

[crude folio]

float known_mass = 0;
  _resume = false;
  while (_resume == false) {
    LoadCell.update();
    if (Serial.available() > 0) {
      known_mass = Serial.parseFloat();
      if (known_mass != 0) {
        Serial.print("Known mass is: ");
        Serial.println(known_mass);
        _resume = true;
      }
    }
  }

  LoadCell.refreshDataSet(); //refresh the dataset to be sure that the known mass is measured correct
  float newCalibrationValue = LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass); //get the new calibration value```

this part is whats probably causing it

[prisma harness]

hmm

so what can I do?

[crude folio]

okay how about you print the value of LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass) before and after refreshing

and send a screenshot of what it shows

[prisma harness]

wdym??

[crude folio]

ok wait

[prisma harness]

im a newbb okkk

sorry 😭

[crude folio]

float known_mass = 0;
  _resume = false;
  while (_resume == false) {
    LoadCell.update();
    if (Serial.available() > 0) {
      known_mass = Serial.parseFloat();
      if (known_mass != 0) {
        Serial.print("Known mass is: ");
        Serial.println(known_mass);
        _resume = true;
      }
    }
  }
  Serial.println("Before refresh: ");
  Serial.print(LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass);
  LoadCell.refreshDataSet(); //refresh the dataset to be sure that the known mass is measured correct
  float newCalibrationValue = LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass); //get the new calibration value
  Serial.println("After refresh: ");
  Serial.print(LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass);

[crude folio]

just replace this part of your code with what i sent

[prisma harness]

should I copy paste this somweher

[prisma harness]

okk

[crude folio]

and send me the output

[prisma harness]

wait dude

its already there

the exact same thing

wait nvm\

not the whole thing

also should I leave this in

[crude folio]

yeah

[prisma harness]

small prblem here

what do i doo

[crude folio]

mmmm

[prisma harness]

got ittt

i asked my dad

some of the things down ahve closing brakets

some fo the lines

hold on

theres so many errors

now its saying something to do with ;

[crude folio]

oh yeah make sure ; is at the end of everything

[crude folio]

here i edited it

[prisma harness]

dw i did that

now its saying this

ARGH

thats in the serial moniter

yuo got iyy

time to test

dammint dowsnt work

[crude folio]

br

arduinos are so damn confusing

@civic merlin i summon you

[prisma harness]

WAIT IT HAPPENED

IT WORKED

not exactley tho

💀

its also kinda laggy

[crude folio]

hmm it didnt print the thing

[prisma harness]

what thong?

thing

[crude folio]

Serial.println("Before refresh: ");
  Serial.print(LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass);
  LoadCell.refreshDataSet(); //refresh the dataset to be sure that the known mass is measured correct
  float newCalibrationValue = LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass); //get the new calibration value
  Serial.println("After refresh: ");
  Serial.print(LoadCell.getNewCalibration(known_mass);```

this

the "Before refresh:

and after refresh

[prisma harness]

ughhh

[crude folio]

@civic merlin man

[civic merlin]

why did it bug at the start

[crude folio]

youre early

[civic merlin]

Ju'umah prayer

[crude folio]

ohh

mb

btw

bot is down

[civic merlin]

no it isn't

[viral jackal]

Pong! | Client: 203ms | WebSocket: 19

[crude folio]

whatever it is

rep isnt working

[still verge]

Reps ain't workin

[prisma harness]

Idk that's what I wanna know

[civic merlin]

Are the pins properly connected

[prisma harness]

Yup

Made sure of that

[zinc yoke]

ugh i hate those cheap plastic jumper wires

theyre always not working proprly
