DM Kiwami

[tulip acorn]

That is absolutely correct

Thanks for sharing the info!

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @tight oyster (current: #206 - 7)

[tight oyster]

Happy to Help!

[lapis saffron]

absolutely beautiful. the black frame blends in nicely with the screen

[solar basalt]

Thank you!

[lapis saffron]

whats the fastest way to kill our digi if anyone know any lol

currently i know that leaving it injured for 2 hours will kill it, or is there a faster way

[tulip acorn]

That is the actual faster way unless someone has found a glitch

[strange basin]

wheeze... Pinochimon barely beat boss ||Mastemon|| at Area 5 zone 1

and by barely I mean Pinochimon somehow kept dodging attacks and timed the fight out 😅

[tulip acorn]

How lucky ahahaha

[tight oyster]

Love it when that happens! Nicely done and keep pushing!

[strange basin]

so far so good, although Area 5-2 WarGreymon tried to be gatekeep my progress but after rest we were able to push through, real close to boss 👀 💦

...and now WarGreymon's back for revenge OTL

[strange basin]

AND HE'S DOWN, AGAIN

final boss, we meet again ||Omegamon||

[strange basin]

gotta leave it at cliffhanger though, will be away from home for Easter visiting a friend and I'm not risking either breaking the device or accidentally neglecting/killing Pinochimon 😅

[tulip acorn]

Daaaamn that was so intense, I really felt the struggle and now I’m left waiting for the next episode 😂

I was so focused on wrapping the DMKs

[fervent hedge]

I keep checking your store and see them out of stock. Glad I got my two when I did. Soon this will be too popular.

Also was looking for nail stickers (Digimon theme) closest I can find was Pokemon 😅

[tulip acorn]

I’m restocking tomorrow

Maybe some digimon normal stickers? You could glue them… I use B-7000 and it leaves no marks if removed with Isopropanol

[dull crescent]

I hope more people order I'm going to refrain getting a second one till I can experience the first lol

[tulip acorn]

I hope it meets your expectations 🙏

[dusky quartz]

Is there a link to the store you can post or dm me. Wanna hop on the restock this looks fantastic ❤️

[tulip acorn]

https://dokodemodevices.etsy.com/es/listing/1843134400/virtual-pet-dm-kiwami-dmk-programmable

See if this one works

[dusky quartz]

Perfect thanks will be on the look out!

[lapis saffron]

can anyone share what route they have raised or know of? for future reference for everyone else playing

1. shakomon - ikakkumon - zudomon
   - numemon
2. agumon - greymon- metalgreymon- wargreymon (didn't evo further cuz i didn't patch it )
3. impmon- wizardmon - myotismon - venommyotismon
   - piedmon
4. guilmon - tyrannomon - ?? - chaosdramon
5. tentomon - kabuterimon - atlurkabuteri - heraklekabuterimon
6. starmon (rookie)- shadramon - astamon - pinochimon
7. ganimon - airdramon (currently raising and trying middle route)

from my understanding the 1st egg seems like a hybrid of nature spirit n deep saver lines

I think i've turned to gottsumon once too

[tulip acorn]

Next update will have 2 new items. What do you think this one is?

[frank sundial]

Does it add a care mistake?

[tulip acorn]

Cold

[frank sundial]

Hmm, if there are 2 items, do they do similar things?

[tulip acorn]

Very different things

Come to think about it, didn’t I just ship your DMK? XD

[frank sundial]

Yes, yes you did. I am very excited

[tulip acorn]

You’re invested into the updates even before getting it! It’s amazing! 🤩

[frank sundial]

Gonna have fun going through evolution lines blind and seeing what my little guy turns into

[tulip acorn]

The magic that guides took away from us

[frank sundial]

Yeah, I have huge respect for fan made things. You love digimon enough to put the time and effort into making something like this, and then to share it with the community

[tulip acorn]

I’ll let that thing to humulos if he ever lays his eyes on the kiwami…

[frank sundial]

Even the bugs, people encountering random bosses, evolutions going wierd. It's all so much fun

[tulip acorn]

As long as it does not break the device 😂

I mean your save

[frank sundial]

I can always start again >:3

[tulip acorn]

The device is literally unbreakable software wise

[tulip acorn]

Yeah definitely

[frank sundial]

The amount of things you've packed into this, ive paid more than twice as much for devices that do half the things

[tulip acorn]

😂

Me too, no kidding

[frank sundial]

But also, it's fun, the community around it is fun, it's nice to see people discovering things and enjoying their journey with their digimon

[tulip acorn]

That’s the feeling I was looking (and craving) for

Being the programmer has its pros and cons

Many pros

[frank sundial]

Yeah, the biggest downside is that there are no hidden surprises for yourself

[tulip acorn]

One of the cons is that the mystery is gone xD

The pro is you can see people having fun

And I really love it

[frank sundial]

That's my biggest con for DMing DnD games for my friends, I know everything that's happening. I do enjoy watching people discovering things

These items, do they boost or modify a stat in some way?

[tulip acorn]

One yes

[frank sundial]

Does it affect age?

[tulip acorn]

Nope!

More info during the release

Ahaha

[frank sundial]

Does it have a negative effect?

[solar basalt]

Beat Area 5 with HerakleKabuterimon 😄

[tulip acorn]

It does!

[tulip acorn]

Daaaamn boiiiii

But don’t go to area 6

XD

It’s a bug!

[solar basalt]

Yeah I saw Sinobali post about it 😂

[tulip acorn]

I just added a line of code and it will be fixed for next update

[frank sundial]

Does it kill your digimon?

[tulip acorn]

Oh wow would you like an item to kill your digimon!?

[frank sundial]

Oh no that sounds cruel

[tulip acorn]

Phew…

No, it does not kill it

[frank sundial]

Does it cause an injury?

[tulip acorn]

Not injury no

Hehehehe

[chrome isle]

is the next kiwami drop today?

[tulip acorn]

Yes

Soon

[lapis saffron]

did you beat ||omegamon|| on the area 5?

I didn't thats how I got to area 6, I fought something else instead.. the other mob digimon. I think probably it happened cuz I use skip level item to get there

[tulip acorn]

INTERESTING

[lapis saffron]

I haven't properly beat the real boss

btw are there limits to stats boosted by sp.training

[tulip acorn]

No *****

[lapis saffron]

ZAMN

[tulip acorn]

There is a max stat for everything but not “by sp training”

Pretty high btw

Except for HP

[lapis saffron]

can it get pass 99 lol

[tulip acorn]

Which is capped at 30

[tulip acorn]

Yes

[lapis saffron]

wattttt zamn

[tulip acorn]

Hard to do but not impossible

Would you keep a DMK alive for 99+ days?

If you can, you can get to more than 99 parameters

[lapis saffron]

Will they get insanely needy overtime

[tulip acorn]

You’ll have to experiment yourself 🤭

[lapis saffron]

I know my vpet1997 will empty its hunger bar in 5minutes when I maxed it out at 99yr + old (5months+)

[tulip acorn]

But I’m telling you there is a way

[lapis saffron]

I had to cryo sleep it to keep it alive haha

[tulip acorn]

Changing the clock you mean?

[lapis saffron]

no, freeze them in sleep mode. clock will not move

this is the only way to keep it alive past 20days

[tulip acorn]

What the whaaaaaat

[lapis saffron]

imma teach you here it goes

[tulip acorn]

Does this stop the oscillator ?

[lapis saffron]

no the digimon is still animated like normal sleep but time does not move = will not die

the time will continue if you wake it up tho.

Thus why its called cryo sleep

[tulip acorn]

Oooh okay

But no time moving means no more years going up?

[lapis saffron]

yup

just check and all of em is 99

they've been sleeping for 5-6 months now

[tulip acorn]

But the batteries should be drained right?

[lapis saffron]

only work for adult - perfect vpet1997

1. set time to sleep and let digimon sleep, turn off lights
2. go to clock and leave it at SET
3. then wait for few days

time will continue, and no longer be at SET
this means that its time for your digimon to die, it will be extra needy
repeat step 1 to 3
and this time the TIME IS FROZEN
do not wake up the digimon, time will continue if you do so and have to repeat step 1-3 to freeze it again
(you can open the lights now) once confirmed that time is frozen

if you digimon is adult, the time will automatically continue if it evolve
if you check and it still at adult means that it evo failed, just repeat step 1-3 to cryo sleep it as an adult

[tulip acorn]

Interesting

[lapis saffron]

not that i know of. vpet 1997 is a beast, also use a good battery and it can last for like 8-9 months
also if you're experienced its pretty easy to swap batteries without the digimon turning off, need some slight of hands

[tulip acorn]

I see

[lapis saffron]

the screen will start to dim out if the battery almost dead so easy to swap during this time

[tulip acorn]

You have to be fast

[lapis saffron]

i think that extyranomon is the oldest in the collection might have been more than 1 whole year

since my last pic was around march of 2024

did a battery swap around september if I remember

also OGREMON is highly recommended cuz its one of the FEW digimon with animated sleep. other is palmon i think

[tulip acorn]

Probably when frozen it does not do so much processing? Idk

[lapis saffron]

yeah probably!

its weird to know that there is sleeping animation, but only ogremon and palmon has it

Getting off topic lol, currently farming for exp for airdramon and aiming for mid route on DMK

[tulip acorn]

Weird thing! Especially because every exception means more code

[lapis saffron]

Ya I know all pendulum mons has animated sleeping but vpet97 only applies to a few

[tulip acorn]

Lol right, I should be moderating my own thread but I just digress constantly

[lapis saffron]

its still sorta related, maybe someone will find a way to keep their DMK alive for yearsssssssss

[tulip acorn]

Go go power rangers! Wait, wrong franchise again

[lapis saffron]

Also on a related topic is the evo timer still running if the digimon has no power

[tulip acorn]

Yes

[lapis saffron]

ZAMNNNNNNNNN

I knew it!

[tulip acorn]

Oh you mean if you turn it off?

[lapis saffron]

yeah, battery drains

[tulip acorn]

Oh no no

[lapis saffron]

oh lol

[tulip acorn]

No battery means nothing you can do

I thought you talked about Digimon Energy

[lapis saffron]

Im still figuring out the best stats distribution for the mon

[tulip acorn]

Good luck with that!

[lapis saffron]

yeah its pretty fun! but will only go all out once i have my 1st superult probably

[tulip acorn]

A tourney would be nice 😄

To see what works and what doesn’t!

[solar basalt]

Yes I did

[chrome isle]

just placed my order, so excited

[solar basalt]

Ooh It'd be fun to do a tourney before the update drops!

[tulip acorn]

Thank you so much!

[solar basalt]

My completed Evo lines on both DMKs! I love how they went down different lines to meet at the end. They also feel completely different even when they're both HerakleKabuterimon cause of the stats I gave them 😄 Pink is very defensive plus a lil speed and Yellow's all in on attack

[solar basalt]

We could do a fresh hatch too to make sure everyone's on a level playing field. The update'll break current evos anyways right?

[tulip acorn]

Yes they will break…

A collective hatch would be amazing

[chrome isle]

is the veedramon line in the software?

[tulip acorn]

Although I don’t know how many people would jump in

[tulip acorn]

Not it the current build but yes in next update

[chrome isle]

OOOH also im down for a collective hatch, once my kiwami comes in

[tulip acorn]

That’s gonna take some time 😂 but I’m counting on you! 🤩

[tulip acorn]

Nice sticker

[chrome isle]

courtesy of Sinobali haha

[tulip acorn]

@lapis saffron ‘s art is magnificent

[chrome isle]

honestly my favorite digimon artist

[solar basalt]

I wanna buy one of their mouse pads at some point those designs are so fun!

[chrome isle]

its def worth, i have a couple of their digimon mats, and really high quality

[tulip acorn]

I definitely would love a mousepad too

Or maybe commission some art for the DMK

I don’t know if Sinobali works that way

[solar basalt]

That'd be amazing if possible

[chrome isle]

i feel like its possible, he is a fan of the kiwami and an active member here

[tulip acorn]

Oh Sinobali’s been destroying the DMK adventure and looking into all the mechanics like an engineer

I fear all the secrets will be discovered in a whim

[chrome isle]

if anything they might be sitting on a few secrets right now and wont reveal them

lol

[tulip acorn]

Probably 😂

It’s amazing 🥹

[lapis saffron]

black frame n button is godly! probably will buy this exact color in the future

blends with the screen smoothly

[solar basalt]

Ikr I love the black and yellow got it cause I love bees 🐝

[tulip acorn]

Funbeemon is proud of you

And Cannonbeemon destroys you with its lazer

[solar basalt]

They're such a cutie! Probs one of my favourite digimon

[lapis saffron]

yeah lets all rehatch when the big patch comes out

[tulip acorn]

I love cannonbeemon i LOVE IT

[strange basin]

now THERE'S a challenge I'm willing to go for 👀

[solar basalt]

I put the blueish gems on my DMK to make it more Cannonbeemon themed I'll probs replace them if I manage to get some more hexagonal ones so it's more reminiscent of Cannonbeemon

[gusty glade]

@solar basalt has leveled up! (3 ➜ 4)

[tulip acorn]

You are in for the tough stuff

[strange basin]

I was able to keep digimon pendulum cycle alive for 54 days, I like my odds 💪

[lapis saffron]

Happy to report that those silicone button grips for switch fits perfectly on DMK

but the button will turn around lol since its not locked in specific angle, but it does make pressing them feels softer

[solar basalt]

Btw you can get custom nail stickers on etsy and other places just send in the digimon pics you want

But also regular stickers would probs work well

[fervent hedge]

I'll do some exploring 😊

[solar basalt]

Trained too much and reset my evos 🥲. Probs a good thing though they started getting really needy and now they're doing much better.

[tulip acorn]

Now they’ll be able to special train more into oblivion too

BTW

Started beta testing the next update!

[solar basalt]

I'm gonna have the strongest Child stage digimon after a couple more evo resets XD

Gonna beat up Area 5 bosses as Shakomon and Gomamon eventually

[tulip acorn]

Just like @waxen snow with his beefed up Impmon

[tulip acorn]

The spoilers 😂

Also I don’t know if you will be able to do that ahahaha

[solar basalt]

Oopsies changed it

[solar basalt]

Maybe if I get past this yr with gomamon and shakomon XD but I'll probably say goodbye to them for the update

[tulip acorn]

Yeah it will be better to fresh start but I made it so you don’t have to forcedly reset the device

[solar basalt]

I'm really looking forward to all the new lil guys I'll raise 😄

[halcyon blaze]

The end of Tentomon. 15 days and went onto four evolution paths out of sheer refusal to give up. His data will return to the Mainframe and be reborn unto Digitama.

Tentomon -> Ikkakumon
Tentomon -> Airdramon
Tentomon -> Seadramon
Tentomon -> Numemon

Hope all of you are enjoying your adventures with the DMK!

My first run may have been full of failures, but it was also full of surprises.

Would've posted earlier this week when he kicked the bucket but I've been rather busy 💀

One thing to note:

• Special Training right before the Digimon bedtime to maximise time spent playing vs time spent waiting for energy refilling

And one thing I want to ask:

• Is the Egg 3-6 unlock requirement to clear Area 0? Just want confirmation that it isn't a bug and is the intended method.

[solar basalt]

Gomamon managed to land a chunky hit on an Area 5 enemy and survive 2 turns 😮 soon they'll be able to take them all down (if their meagre HP doesn't get them killed XD)

[tulip acorn]

A lot of them are cominggggg

[tulip acorn]

You could’ve kept going upwards though!

[tulip acorn]

Once you clear areas you never need to clear them again

To get eggs 2-6 you only need to get to adult in your first run

[halcyon blaze]

I had a feeling I could keep going had I met other requirements in time 🤣 He just got too needy on a day I was a little short on time 💀 We go next!

[halcyon blaze]

Thanks for the clarification, Jordi! I wasn't sure if it was from Area progress or evolution.

Been spending a lot of time in A0 cataloguing the enemies, drops and EXP 🤓

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @tulip acorn (current: #206 - 7)

[bright salmon]

Amazing! Is this going to be a product or a DIY project?

[tulip acorn]

What I mean is you could evolve to perfect or mega also from all of those afults

[tulip acorn]

Oh that’s a great endeavor 😄

[bright salmon]

Just asking because if its a product i will buy uhh alot and if its a diy project i will make alot!

[tulip acorn]

It’s already a product! I’m out of stock RN but on friday I will add more

I wish I could pin the etsy link god dammit

[bright salmon]

Its fine, i’ll find it

[tulip acorn]

https://dokodemodevices.etsy.com/es/listing/1843134400/virtual-pet-dm-kiwami-dmk-programmable

[bright salmon]

Ty!

[tulip acorn]

And here is the page for the gameplay guide

https://jordoror.itch.io/dm-kiwami

[tulip acorn]

Methodically finding the whole evo tree

[bright salmon]

Ty! I also saw you say you wouldnt be open sourcing the code, is it fine if i ripped it from the device when i buy one to add some connectivity features

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @tulip acorn (current: #174 - 8)

[tulip acorn]

But it will change for next update so buckle up!

[tulip acorn]

I am not open sourcing it and as long as you don’t distribute it you can do whatever you want with it

[bright salmon]

Ty!

I may flash the code onto a pico w for a tmgc uni like approach to connectivity

[halcyon blaze]

Father @tulip bridge could you pin Jordi's store link (and the link to the manual) to the thread to make it easier to find?

[tulip acorn]

Sounds great!

[bright salmon]

Ty!

[tulip acorn]

As long as you use it for yourself (or we can talk about a collab if you want).

[tulip acorn]

Invoking the lord himself!

[tulip acorn]

I am so excited I cannot wait to finish beta testing this update.... so I will throw a changelog

DMK version 1.1 will be coming soon

Here is what you can expect from the update 1.1 of the DMK called "THE EGGSPANSION" that is coming later in more or less a week

• More mons per egg with EGGspanded rosters for the 6 original eggs
• Two new eggs
• A total of 320+ mons from 120+ in 1.02
• New evo mechanics
• New evo parameters with antagonistic effects
• Two new items with cool effects
• Increased effect of the Programs
• A timer that lets you know when the special training cooldown has been refreshed
• New stats to check including condition hearts
• Scrolling forward and backwards in the stats menu
• Page number in the stats menu
• Babies will appear in the clock mode
• Screen will turn on in important moments
• Ryze, Shine, good Duke everyone
• Some bugfixes too!
• Still no use for the X fragment... for now

It's been an incredible dive into programming, but I think it's going to be worth it

Once I check that every feature works correctly I will send an e-mail with the update to everyone 😄

oh shiet I forgot to add the items to the drop pool

whoops

time to change that

DONE xD

[tulip bridge]

Pinned the top post to make it easier to reach for mobile users, any key items related to the project can be edited into that post now for easy access

[tulip acorn]

Thank you 🙏

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @tulip bridge (current: #1 - 656)

[chrome isle]

i cant wait to dive into the kiwami world

[tulip acorn]

Boardalypsis

Boards are done for the last batch

Cases are done too

Tomorrow it’s building time!

[tulip acorn]

Damn

I’m running a battery test for the DMK

It’s been 3 days of light use and it’s still ON

My calculations were off by a lot xD

[tight oyster]

Honestly that’s great news for me, and my earlier experience reinforces that

[tawny flame]

Greetings from chile

Had a guilmon that bugged out and died so now im raising a lovely yukibotamon

[short prism]

extremely regret not getting one of these, i saw them up a few days ago

super mega ultra regret

feels really really bad

is there at the very least a guide on building my own somewhere?

like schematics

[tulip acorn]

Bugged out? Can you tell me a little bit more about that?

[tulip acorn]

Saludos desde Bélgica!

[tulip acorn]

Well I do add 10 a week to the etsy store every Friday

Schematics are not available, no.

[short prism]

oh i did not realize you put them up so often

[halcyon blaze]

We must feed Jordi 👁️

[short prism]

i thought i missed a like once a year drop or something

feeling considerably less despair then ehehe

[tulip acorn]

Yes, I must have overestimated the RB pico power consumption. But it’s better! You can charge it once every 3 days O.O

[tulip acorn]

Once you get one you can enjoy all the updates 🤩

[halcyon blaze]

Got a Palmon from Egg 2 on mine atm, doing another run while the EGGspansion cooks 🔥

[tulip acorn]

It’s almost there… 😜

I’m glad we are beta testing it. Turns out I was considering trainings as care mistakes and scratching my head to why I evolved to numemon xD

[halcyon blaze]

That would have been a critical error to miss, ouch 💀 I do like numemon but not that often

Going to do battles as much as I can today, palmon should evolve tonight so let's see what comes out this time 👀

[tulip acorn]

Yes, DO IT

[halcyon blaze]

One thing I will highlight again for DMK players here in the thread:

DO YOUR SUPER TRAINING EVERY DAY!!!! +1 permanent stat every day (or -1 CM with the "Relaxed" training!) really adds up and can keep your Child stage potent later in Adventure mode when you may not have enough Energy to fully digivolve.

If you want to play or are being active on the device (ex. Needing to get more EXP for levels for digivolution), try to ensure you stop and recharge to have full energy right before Digimon's bedtime and put your Super Training on just before Digimon goes to sleep. Digimon will super train and then once he's back from ST, clock out and go to sleep on his own. Saves you active hours on the device while also allowing you to keep up ST stat gains.

[tulip acorn]

Amazing advice there 🔥

Sorry I had to send that when it appeared as a suggestion

It’s actually called Special Training but I like it more as SUPER

[lapis saffron]

kinda reminded me of how funny it was to see the vid review not getting what ALW. ON means lol

[lapis saffron]

this is TRUE! when I hit max level I usually just sp.train them and let it sleep. aiming for 30atk one day

[tulip acorn]

“I don’t know. Hehe. PASS!”

[tulip acorn]

Life goals 😍

Another battery test update!

The DMK has reached 4 days of mixed use without charging

🤯

Plus, 2 of them have been with the always on display

[tawny flame]

Dont know really if its a bug or not but i only reached adult (guilmon to tyrannomon) and when the natural digievolution meter filled, it got stuck there and my digimon never evolved again. After waiting 2 days i turned off and on, and when i loaded My progress guilmon just died

[tulip acorn]

Have you updated to 1.02?

Also you need to clear area 1 to be able to evolve further to perfect

[tawny flame]

I cleared it!

[gusty glade]

SHINKA!

@tawny flame has evolved into Baby I!

[tawny flame]

I have not updated My device since purchasing it because i dont where to find the file

[tulip acorn]

Area 1 is the second area available though

[tawny flame]

The ich.io only shows me the manual

[tulip acorn]

Check your DMs

Turns out there is something with the load / death that does not work well before 1.02

[tawny flame]

Thanks!

[tulip acorn]

Remember energy must be high in order to evolve

So when you do so just leave him there for 30 secs with full evo bar

And if requirements were met he should evolve

Provided yoj cleared area 1 and area 0

I hope it helps!

[tulip acorn]

Daaaamn

DMK approaching 4 days and 12 hours

Of battery life

😱

[short prism]

hwohly wow

[tawny flame]

Im having problems updating my device

When i try to press the bootsel button i can't find anything

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed1.gif

[tawny flame]

Im using a sim eject tool to try to press it but nothing clicks

And when i try to connect the device to the pc nothing happens as the instructions says

Im super confused and kinda frustrated

[tulip acorn]

Here is a picture of the board inside the DMK

The hole is on top of the white button on the top left that is labeled bootsel

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed8.gif

[tulip acorn]

Bad bot

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_mad.gif

[tulip acorn]

You need to carefully look for that button and press it gently until it feels like it click

It does not really sound or anything

Once you find it and press it you need to hold it while you connect the DMK to the PC

[tulip acorn]

Maybe it’s not long enough?

Maybe someone can share their experience?

🙏

[strange basin]

ya need to press quite deep until ya hear click

...though to be fair, I've been unable to update my device, not because of the button, but because my laptop is unable to find DMK, which might be because I used vital bracelet USB cable? 😅

device does boot on upon plugging it to PC's USB port but no window pops up and no devices shown on USB slot

[tawny flame]

I guess i can try with some kind of toothpick...? I dont know what else can i use that is easily accesible

[proper sundial]

Maybe you are using a charging cable and not one that sends data?

[halcyon blaze]

Yes, I'd assume the VBs cheap cable is just a charging cable. You need to use a cable that can also handle the transfer of data.

I'm not sure what the respective search terms may be in your region, but look for a "data" or "data+charging" cable. Usually a little blurb of text somewhere on the box/specs that'll say data transfer or something of similar fashion.

[strange basin]

thanks for clarification, yeah I figured that was it, I'll head to the store to buy correct cable 😅

[tulip acorn]

Thanks guys! You made very good points!

I hope you’re able to update the device

Cause more updates are coming!

[tulip acorn]

As long as it fits and you are careful…

[solar basalt]

A mechanical pencil may work

[gusty glade]

SHINKA!

@solar basalt has evolved into Child!

[strange basin]

I used toothpick

[fervent hedge]

I always use this screw bit when pressing reset buttons or anything i don't want to puncture.

[tawny flame]

nope, couldnt do it

i guess im too dumb for this device

[tawny flame]

I DID IT. But i think i destroyed the button in my previous tests because it only worked by using that same screwdriver top and holding it in a very precise way

And after a lot of tries it suddenly appears in my pc

hoping it will keep working even i have a mushy button

[tulip acorn]

Oh damn…

Well there are other ways to put the device on drive mode, but that one “was” the easiest one 😅

The other ways require installing the arduino IDE and typing code to a console so…

[tulip acorn]

Daaaayum the DMK has reached 5 days and 3 hours of battery life 😱

I was so wrong

[solar basalt]

Beat Area 5 twice on my Pink DMK! Got the wrong boss the first time round and the right one on my second go through

[rare blaze]

hi!! this project looks very cool, was wondering when/if you would plan on restocking items on your etsy shop? Would be interested in buying one!

[tulip acorn]

Not a bug, just a (cough, cough) feature 🤣

[tulip acorn]

Hey thanks 🤩 i will be restocking on Friday afternoon (GMT+1)

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @rare blaze (current: #603 - 1)

[tulip acorn]

I should really edit the information so people have it more readily available

[strange basin]

aight, successfully installed the update and we're back at tackling Area 5 👍

[tawny flame]

My new pal

[strange basin]

WarGreymon back at being gatekeeper 🙃

[tawny flame]

Gatomon is so busted

[tulip acorn]

The DMK has reached the 5 days mark with a charge

Still going

Guys, the battery life is greater than I had anticipated

You can charge your device twice a week 🤯

[tight oyster]

Great to hear! Especially with the always on screen option!

[strange basin]

ohh, and here I have been overly cautious and charged my device at the end of the day 😅

[tulip acorn]

Turns out reducing the core frequency was the right option 😂

[tulip acorn]

Well now you can rest assured it’s gonna be ok if you wait more

Ahaha

[solar basalt]

Is that the 1.1 update 😮

[tulip acorn]

It’s the 1.02

[solar basalt]

Ahhh ty

Am I on 1.02? How do I check

[tulip acorn]

If you see the ALW. ON setting in the Options menu you are in 1.02

[solar basalt]

Ty! Looks like I'm on 1.02

[tulip acorn]

From version 1.1 and on you will be able to see which version your device has on the boot screen

[tawny flame]

Question: when going from champion to ultimate the trainings have to be done as the champion form?

Im asking because of the energy depletion and to know if i have to plan My trainings of i can just comfortably train from rookie

[lapis saffron]

curious about this too, I did the training as champion form

[lapis saffron]

CANT WAITTTTTT

[tulip acorn]

Guys… turns out the DMK that I’m testing has been on for 144 hours without a charge

Which triples the value that I said in the guide

So…

[tulip acorn]

Since your Digimon is a mix of all his forms, all trainings and battles are shared among all the evolutions so it does not matter the particular form that he’s in

The form only matters towards the immediate next evolution

[tight oyster]

Nice! And counting or did they finally turn off?

[tulip acorn]

Still counting omg

[tight oyster]

I’ll bet that they last another 24-48hrs 😂

[tulip acorn]

No way…

[short prism]

oh wow

also, are there DMKs going up today on etsy?

[tight oyster]

Wouldn’t be surprised if you revise your previous statement and say that the DMK only needs to be charged once per week, similar to the color devices

[tulip acorn]

Goin gup i. A bit

[tulip acorn]

It’s still going 😂

The aanouncement is up!

[tulip acorn]

People from the United States, i would like to know how much are you paying as import fees. I hope it’s not too much

[tight oyster]

I don’t recall paying for import fees… I’ll have to check on my Etsy receipt to see if anything from the total was allocated for the import

[candid jackal]

I have my receipt open, and I don't see anything listed for it. i assumed they just lumped it into the shipping cost or something

[tulip acorn]

Thanks for the info!

[strange basin]

welp... back at ||Omegamon|| again, for the 4th time

three WarGreymons later... goddamn do I hate that guy

https://tenor.com/view/usagyuuun-laptop-slam-angry-cute-gif-16339005

[tight oyster]

Yep, just checked and it’s the same thing for me, seems fair that it’s part of the shipping cost

[tulip acorn]

There had to be some challenge

[strange basin]

and thus began my villain arc

[tulip acorn]

DMK battery test… already 6 days and 12 hours

Can it reach the week mark?

[tulip acorn]

Yes it did!

One week without charging

[strange basin]

me and Pinochimon weren't vibing so it was time to let him go :T

[tulip acorn]

He will start another very interesting and full of mystery life

Meanwhile we are testing version 1.1 and it’s going great

[tulip acorn]

Weeeeeee! 6 new DMKs available!

[frank sundial]

Well, i guess it's my time to join the adventure

[limpid otter]

Ordered mine 🙌

[night glacier]

Just placed my order and I'm turnt up. Thank you so much jordi for all your hard work this is so cool!!!!

[tulip acorn]

YES, welcome to the crew!

@limpid otter , @night glacier thank you so much for the support! you rock!

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @limpid otter (current: #604 - 1)

[tulip acorn]

really excited for you guys joining and enjoying the DMK

[strange basin]

PetiMeramon will be snoozing soon

[strange basin]

aaaand added some more nail stick

[limpid otter]

I love this so much!

[frank sundial]

So, special training, does that only become accessible from Child level? I have a Mochimon, it's 10pm, I was gonna try and get a training session in before he sleeps.

Oh wait he went to sleep.

Aaand I just checked the guide again, it explains it there.

When it says before 12o clock, does that mean midday? Just so I know when to get the special trainings in.

[tight oyster]

Yes that means midday

[prisma knoll]

Dear all. First time share this on group, i think my kiwami is run out battery this morning. When i charge with my iphone charger it shows no sign of turning on. Is this normal?

[solar basalt]

May be sending too high a voltage need to charge by connecting to a 5V charger

Charging info for anyone who needs it

Also repeatedly connecting to a high power source may have damaged the DMK

[tulip acorn]

Guys, the DMK has reached 8 days of use without charging

[solar basalt]

I been getting care mistakes to reset my evo but it's not happening also my evo meter is full. Is there anything else I need to do to trigger it?

[tulip acorn]

You gotta get a lot of care mistakes

I made it so you wouldn’t lose your evo line very easily

Depending on the mon there might not be a worse evolution

For example, if you evolved to numemon there is no worse

[solar basalt]

I'm on the previous evo line from child so defo have worse evos. Gonna try and get more care mistakes ty!

Managed to do it ty!

[dusky quartz]

I thought I missed this when I checked the shop the last 2 day just ordered mine!!

[tulip acorn]

Great to know!!!!

[tulip acorn]

Yay! Thank you so much!!!

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @dusky quartz (current: #604 - 1)

[tulip acorn]

The DMK family is growing 🥹

90 people already (some waiting for their DMKs)

Something nice for the 100th digidestined would be appropriate🤩

[solar basalt]

Anyone wanna online battle?

[tulip acorn]

I’d love to but every DMK at home is being used for beta testing 😅

By the way!

[solar basalt]

So excited for the update 😄

[tulip acorn]

Go to IG @dokodemo_dejimon and vote for the poll on the 100th DMK digidestined feature!

[tulip acorn]

Gotta make sure it works! 💪

[solar basalt]

Btw everyone the freeze option is kinda already on the device if you just go to the clock and leave it on setting time

[tulip acorn]

True, but this one would let you save a mon in a frozen state while you raise another one

[solar basalt]

That's rlly cool crud voted wrong cuz I misunderstood 😂

[tulip acorn]

Can’t you change your vote?

[solar basalt]

Nope but it's okay the X themed egg is super cool too

All of them are great options

[dusky quartz]

looks like we gotta get to 200 tamers for freeze lol

[tulip acorn]

Not that many ahahaa

[solar basalt]

I'm on the top evo line at lvl 10 and can't seem to reset my evos no matter how many care mistakes I get. Feel like I've got like 10 already. It was easy on my yellow which was also top evo line but lvl 3. Is there something I'm missing?

[tulip acorn]

Are you at rookie stage?

[solar basalt]

Nope fully evolved but I've tried to reset at every stage

[tulip acorn]

Also I assure you it’s more than 10

[solar basalt]

Ohh okay thanks! Will keep racking them up

[tulip acorn]

You can only reset if you are below max evo (in the line)

[solar basalt]

Yep every stage except last stage

[tulip acorn]

The higher the evo the easier to reset

But always more than 10

[solar basalt]

Ohh right ty! That's good to know 😄

[tulip acorn]

Also full energy to be safe

[solar basalt]

Btw is there any chance you could dm me how many are needed for evo from adult? Feel like I've racked up like 30 already 🤣

Nws if not I'll find out eventually 😂

[strange basin]

Candmon is here

[tulip acorn]

Sorry I am really busy with the DMK build and beta test 😅

[solar basalt]

Nws!

[frank sundial]

Their name is Jorts

I am so impressed with everything that's been put in this, the background changing through the day, all the different screens for the training and menu etc

It's very well made, a lot of love went into this project!

[tulip acorn]

Thank you!

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @frank sundial (current: #454 - 2)

[tulip acorn]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[frank sundial]

Do the stats fluctuate slightly? My HP was at 8, now it's down to 7. Does the training meter boost it slightly?

Oooh, it does

Or the hunger meter, I'll have to test it and see which causes the drop

[tulip acorn]

😜

[tulip acorn]

Finally

The DMK turned off

Battery lasted 8 days and 13 hours

I expect half of that if continually used

Because I used it not very often, although most of the time it was on always on display

That is to say you can charge it twice a week without trouble

🤯

Please report if you do the experiment on how long the device stays on without charging

🤩

[strange basin]

Troopmon reporting for duty 🫡

[tulip acorn]

Ooh nightmare soldiers coming to town

[strange basin]

my favorite digimon field, may hatch this egg a couple more times before the update to see what I can raise 👀

[tulip acorn]

They definitely have one of the best designs

But I’m all in with the metal empire ahahaha

[frank sundial]

Jorts is now an Ikkakumon, one of my first V-Pets was a Deep Savers PenOG, so the nostalgia is really hitting me.
It's been fun experimenting with stats and training and seeing what sort of mechanics are at work

Also, I suck at the training game, that little bar is evil and taunts me constantly.

[tulip acorn]

Jorts is looking spanking there

[tulip acorn]

Well you’re gonna have to scrap all your knowledge cause the v1.1 update is about to fall

[tulip acorn]

I suck and I made it so…

[frank sundial]

I am so ready

[tight oyster]

I JUST GOT THE EMAIL, haven’t read it yet but so pumped it’s here!!!! 🔥

Gonna be updating both my DMKs and starting a fresh egg on my second device!

[solar basalt]

OMG!!!!!! Gonna say bye bye to my guys 🫡 and download now!!

[tulip acorn]

Yes! As you can see, the update is READY

Please report the bugs that you find

I made sure everything worked properly before uploading it but there might still be some issues that I did not find

And also please tell me about your experiences! I can’t wait to hear your adventures and your thoughts

[solar basalt]

I think I broke my bootsel button 😭 what do I do 😦

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed6.gif

[tulip acorn]

What how

Did you press it too hard

Does it rattle now inside?

[solar basalt]

Idk maybe this metal thing fell out

Yep there was rattle but no more

[tulip acorn]

Can you still press it?

But yeah

[solar basalt]

I can't feel anything there

[tulip acorn]

It’s broken xD

[solar basalt]

Noooooo

How do I update now 😦

[tulip acorn]

Let me think

There are some commands you can use

[solar basalt]

Yay!

[tulip acorn]

Let me look for it

[solar basalt]

Tysm!

I shoulda been more careful 😭

[tulip acorn]

I’ll need more time to get a small guide

It’s late night and it turns out it’s not as easy as running some shell commands and done

[solar basalt]

Nws thanks for helping!

[tulip acorn]

Unfortunately

[solar basalt]

I managed to update just fine on Yellow just pink that I messed up

[tulip acorn]

But! I suggest (if you can) you search things like

[solar basalt]

Ooh sure that works!

[tulip acorn]

Uploading UF2 to pico without Bootsel

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed2.gif

[tulip acorn]

In the meantime i need to sleep 😅

[solar basalt]

Thank you so much for the help! Night night 😄

[tulip acorn]

I’ll check that as soon as I can though!

[lapis saffron]

UPDATE IS OUTTTTT!! omg

will update it asap when i get home, so excited!

[solar basalt]

This looks useful for updating without physical bootsel button. Not sure how to get it working though :/ https://gist.github.com/Hermann-SW/ca07f46b7f9456de41f0956d81de01a7

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed3.gif

[fervent hedge]

That flat end screw bit really does come in handy. I was worried I wouldn't feel anything when pushing slightly down on boostel but you do feel it.

[solar basalt]

I fully broke mine on one of my DMKs (cause I was too heavy handed) so needa figure out a way to flash the file without it

[fervent hedge]

Also my device didn't turn on when I put the data cable in. It did turn on when I placed the update file into the folder. This closed on its own and the device switched on with the new update showing. I was scratching my head at first, as to why it wasn't switching on lol.

Hope you can find a way to update your device, 1N$3RT.

[solar basalt]

Thanks!

Btw how long are 1.1 digimon supposed to be staying in Baby 1 Mine hasn't evolved in 3 hrs which feels odd

[fervent hedge]

10 minutes?

1 hour i think

[solar basalt]

Yeah it was an hr on the previous update but for some reason it's taking forever on this one maybe it's just a thing on my end

[fervent hedge]

Wait for Jordi to give the thumbs up but this might be a way to update without the boostel being pressed and done through USB instead.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=145&t=305458&p=1833379#p1833379

Need a flash tool.

[solar basalt]

Ty! This is the one I found too 😄 I'm just struggling to set up the environment for it to work

[fervent hedge]

Only other way i can think of would be to open up the device and stick the metal piece back on lol

Which does and should work but opening it will be a pain

[solar basalt]

Yeah I don't wanna try that just yet

[fervent hedge]

Hopefully you have some strong glue if you do lol

[solar basalt]

I'll probs go out and buy some if I don't and it gets to that

[fervent hedge]

That method of updating might not be a bad idea tbh. Updating just by plugging a usb instead. I personally don't wanna mess with anything myself. I'm prone to breaking stuff if I dive too deep.

That and I don't have a flash tool.

[solar basalt]

The flash tool is just software needs the environment set up for it to work

I got all the required software just struggling to put it all together

[fervent hedge]

Oh so something I can just grab online somewhere.

[solar basalt]

Yeah the download link is on the thing you sent me

[fervent hedge]

I see it. I read past that bit 😆

[solar basalt]

I'll probs just use the flash tool instead of bootsel if I manage to set everything up rlly scared of breaking the bootsel button on my yellow too 😆

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed3.gif

[tulip acorn]

Did it evolve?

I just woke up xD

My wife’s botamon just died without evolving which is weird

[tulip acorn]

Maaaaaan

Sorry about that

Turns put the code says 32 hours for baby 1

😭😭😭😭

Releasing a bugfix right now

[tulip acorn]

This looks promising

You don’t need extra hardware though

[tulip acorn]

The metal piece is not the only thing that is required 😭. You need to find the white button too

[solar basalt]

That's the problem I'm having too

[solar basalt]

Idk where I put that part 😭

[tulip acorn]

We’ll figure out another way without the bootsel button

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed1.gif

[tulip acorn]

Gonna call that button something else omg

Debug button

Voilà

Please remember to download the latest 1.1.01 version for the evo timer bugfix!

[strange basin]

LadyDevimon in the house

[tulip acorn]

Such a great mon

[frank sundial]

Ok, so im an idiot. I was all set for Jorts to evolve, thinking I'd cleared the correct area.
Nope, Area 0 Level 2 is not Area 2, im so stupid! Haha!

His evolution meter is full, so i assume that if we beat everything up til Area 2 he will instantly evolve (as long as evolution parameters have been met etc)

[solar basalt]

Managed to get Raspberry pi pico setup I'm sure I'm not too far from figuring out how to get flash and picotools working 😄

[tulip acorn]

That’s vscode!?

Oh nice nice

I was looking for a console approach but that could work too

Provided you can install the appropriate libraries to upload your own binary

[tulip acorn]

Yes that’s the probable result

Unless you have updated to 1.1.01

[solar basalt]

That's the bit I'm stuck on 😂

[tulip acorn]

I am stuck too

I was trying to install picotool as it seems quite easy to be able to upload any uf2 file with one command

The problem is how to install picotool now

[solar basalt]

Yeah trying to install picotool is hard have no idea what I'm doing

[tulip acorn]

Yeah… bummer

[solar basalt]

This may be helpful https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/getting-started-with-pico.pdf

[gusty glade]

@solar basalt has leveled up! (4 ➜ 5)

[solar basalt]

Has some instructions for downloading picotool

But they won't work for me cause I've probs missed something

I'm dumb managed to install it

Now just gotta get libusb

Also got it in the serial monitor so I can send stuff I think

Nope I was wrong now stuck on installing libusb

[solar basalt]

I'll try again later

It's defo doable I'm probs just missing something again

[tulip acorn]

Libusb is mu problem too ahahaha

Great great!!

I’ll check that later too

[tulip acorn]

I’m so close yet so far…

[solar basalt]

Same... 😂🥲

[lapis saffron]

Wait is the bugfix out already

[tulip acorn]

Yes

[solar basalt]

Yep should be un email

[lapis saffron]

Is it the same link from the mail

Cuz I got the mail before the bugfix haha

[solar basalt]

Should be new

[tulip acorn]

Wait what

No, it’s definitely different

I just checked

[solar basalt]

Yep it's different for me

Checked

Maybe the new email didn't go through?

[fervent hedge]

I'm guessing the baby stage was set to longer?

I need to apply that fix myself 😆

[tulip acorn]

Yes, unfortunately it was ser to 32 hours

[fervent hedge]

32 hours for baby lol we call that Hardcore mode

[tulip acorn]

The bug is more complex than just forgetting to set it back to 1 hour but long story short the code gave back 32 hours

[fervent hedge]

It was good experience anyway. I know how to update and super careful about it. Unfortunately 1N$3RT had to experience that 😕. So hopefully it a fix soon.

[solar basalt]

I mean if I really struggle I could just replace the pico 2 altogether with a new one they're fairly cheap anyways

[fervent hedge]

I read around but that button isn't supposed to be pressed or I'm reading it wrong.

[solar basalt]

I'd just need to make sure everything was hooked up right

[fervent hedge]

Or at least the way we have to press it. But a flat end piece and very slight push is 100% recommended. Lol

[solar basalt]

I mean it is supposed to be pressed to get it into bootsel mode but yeah it's pretty delicate. May be safer to add a button to actuate it so ppl don't accidentally damage it 😂

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed1.gif

[fervent hedge]

If i could make a recommendation for future pieces. Would it be possible to put a button in place that fits the hole so future buyers aren't stuffing stuff into that hole. I think the boostel button is very delicate.

[solar basalt]

Yeah same think it'd be a rlly good change

[fervent hedge]

What i mean by not pressing it. Was i don't think it meant to be pressed down on with tools sticking into the hole.

[solar basalt]

Oh right yeah maybe not it is quite delicate

[fervent hedge]

I read around that others have done the same as you 1N$3RT as it a delicate button.

[solar basalt]

Saw online that quite a few ppl managed to break their bootsel same as you did

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed4.gif

[fervent hedge]

Heck someone even broke the same metal piece as you

[solar basalt]

Why do they keep spawning in to dance on me 😭

[solar basalt]

Yeah it's not held on too well a sharp object could easily cut the plastic holding it in place

Like a toothpick

The flathead screwdriver is probs the ideal tool for pushing it

[fervent hedge]

Wouldn't recommend toothpick. Just in case anyone thinks of using One.

[solar basalt]

Yeah too much force or bad placement could tear away the plastic keeping the metal bit in place

[fervent hedge]

Yea the flat end screw bit works good. Honestly I'd rather have a plastic piece of the same type.

But i don't have anything similar.

Wish I had a 3D printer.

[solar basalt]

I'll probably go out and get a flat tool like it defo think what I used was too sharp

[fervent hedge]

I'd make a small piece myself to stick in the hole so I can just pop into place when updating is needed

What did you use before?

[solar basalt]

Ooh that's a good Idea I could probs carve one outta wood or a gundam sprue

[solar basalt]

A screwdriver but the end was a bit too sharp

[fervent hedge]

You use a pointy end bit?

[solar basalt]

Nah it was a line

I dunno what they're called

But not crosshead

[fervent hedge]

Phillips

[solar basalt]

The end was flatish but not flat enough

[fervent hedge]

No wait that different

Phillips is the cross

[tulip acorn]

I’m going to do that probably

[solar basalt]

No slotted

[fervent hedge]

Wish I could let you borrow mine 😆

Take a pick of a good one lol

[solar basalt]

Ooh that's so useful

I needa get me a set like that

[fervent hedge]

Circle flat one are at the top. One fits inside perfect

Called IFIXIT

[solar basalt]

Ty will order them!

[tulip acorn]

Got the same!

[solar basalt]

Ahhh I was gonna buy replacement screens for my DSi from them but got scared by all the ribbon cables 😂

[fervent hedge]

Those ribbon cables are quite tougher than you think

I love to bend those

[tulip acorn]

There is a flat sim ejection tool in that kit

I changed the screens of both my DSis and it was horrible

[fervent hedge]

When Jordi makes the colour DM kiwami 100% making a boostel button 😆😁😆

[tulip acorn]

I’ll call it DMKolor

[solar basalt]

Oh no I'm probs gonna wait it out then I mean it's not too bad the screen edges are just rlly darkened

[fervent hedge]

You should see my PS1. The inside is different.

That wasn't fun to put together. But I don't need disks anymore and it runs off USB c power supply

[solar basalt]

That's pretty cool!

[fervent hedge]

Soldering is a messy job for me but it honestly not hard to do. My blobs (solder) all have pointy hats though. If you know what I mean.

[solar basalt]

Oh yh I get you XD

I remember when I tried to work on my Pen20 and forgot I needed flux

That was a nightmare

[fervent hedge]

I half ass soldering. I have no heat sinks, suction pens, nothing.

Flux is a nightmare as well if you don't have the goods stuff

[solar basalt]

That's true I never had to think much cause I did all my soldering in secondary school so had everything provided for me hadn't soldered in years before trying again on the Pen20th

I underestimated how important most of the stuff I took for granted was

[fervent hedge]

Time to update again. Thankfully I have a data cable. I can't tell you how many of those cables I have and they don't do exactly that.

Out of around 14 of those only two transfer data. Rest are for charging. 😁

Would DM kiwami ever be compatible with this?
Though I'm not sure what I'd use them together for.

[solar basalt]

Ooh wificom?

[tulip acorn]

Is that some version of an acom?

[fervent hedge]

Wificom

[tulip acorn]

No I don’t think so

[fervent hedge]

Shame kiwami don't have infrared haha

[tulip acorn]

At least not as a priority

[tulip acorn]

The DMK has no wireless capability at all

[fervent hedge]

Nah it not priority for sure.

Was just curious

[solar basalt]

Yh the DMK wired connectivity is pretty good alr

[fervent hedge]

Honestly the only reason I'd be somewhat interested in wificom compatible would be to hook kiwami to games like w0rld but I don't think that will happen or anytime soon.

[tulip acorn]

It’s an interesting topic though.

[tulip acorn]

Compatibility with w0rld would be pretty easy to implement I think

[fervent hedge]

I could ask in the discord

All up to the Dev to add it

[tulip acorn]

Also reading data from the DMK is pretty easy

At least the basics of getting the digimon ID are very easy

Then it’s up to them to add support or not. I personally would love it but I would understand if they don’t want to

[tulip acorn]

Only if people ask enough it might be done

[fervent hedge]

I asked

[tulip acorn]

Oh nice

[fervent hedge]

The way you sell out every week. Your device probably might be possible to hook to w0rld

They have devices on w0rld not many use i think.

[solar basalt]

Yeah there's a wide range on there

[tulip acorn]

Oh wow that’s great

Well that would be awesome!

[fervent hedge]

Wow, Jordi. Have you sold 88 DM kiwami so far?

Only official devices for w0rld.

[frank sundial]

@tulip acorn which egg has agumon? I think I've got the first 4 unlocked and want to have a go at getting him

[tulip acorn]

A bit more since some have been sold locally

[tulip acorn]

I see… well, no problemo

Thanks for asking

[tulip acorn]

Are you staying in version 1.02?

[frank sundial]

Nah, I've updated. But then Jorts fell down a well accidentally R.I.P

[tulip acorn]

Oh I see, the well was there casually and he randomly fell

Let me check that

[frank sundial]

Yeah, it was dark. I guess you could say... he couldn't see that well.

[tulip acorn]

Unfortunately for Ikkakumon he did not know well where agumon was

Cause he is in egg number 6

[frank sundial]

[fervent hedge]

Type in agumon egg in Google. Maybe the secret lies there

There a small possibility he ends up in the same egg here

With how many digimon there are and how to actually aquire them. Who knows how to actually get agumon lol

[tulip acorn]

Now I’m scared of searching that in google

[fervent hedge]

Looks similar to first egg?

[frank sundial]

I've just clicked the button randomly til it landed on a selectable egg. It looks like an inverted version of the beginning egg. Let's see what I get!

[tulip acorn]

Oh yeah but no… egg patterns are irrelevant in the DMK xD

[solar basalt]

I guessed Agumon was in egg two cause Botamon, Koromon then Agumon is the classic

[fervent hedge]

Jordi making the DMK dark souls difficulty

[tulip acorn]

Except when you die you don’t get to recover your souls at the place of death

[fervent hedge]

We start over. This is one game we should be taking notes. 😆

[frank sundial]

Oh, Ive been taking notes

[fervent hedge]

I'm gonna absolutely dread when you add a digimon i adore and I have no way knowing how to get her lol.

Could take years.

[frank sundial]

Had them in my notes app. Started a new one due to the update, since some of the info might be incorrect now. But I love this sort of gameplay, where everything is unknown at first, then over time as you figure things out etc it becomes much easier

Almost adds a puzzle element to the game

[fervent hedge]

Certainly adds Longevity to this. No hand holding for sure.

[tulip acorn]

Depending on how you see that it could be a joy or a total nightmare

[fervent hedge]

I would say joy in a good way. Nightmare with fun.

[tulip acorn]

I love figuring out mechanics, but I already know them so meh 🤣

[tulip acorn]

I love your take on that

[fervent hedge]

All the official devices have info how to get the digimon you want. Dmk has nothing so it really is blind right now.

[frank sundial]

His name is Vape Store.

[fervent hedge]

Got my stickers coming. So i can splice up my kiwami.

The seller was nice enough to make em fingernail sized as well.

[tulip acorn]

Please don’t hold a grudge on me

[fervent hedge]

If they turn out nice. I'll share the store here if that OK

[tulip acorn]

Yaaaay I wanna see pictures when they come

[solar basalt]

Yay ty!

[radiant geyser]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @fervent hedge (current: #119 - 12)

[fervent hedge]

Don't worry. If you ever add Lilithmon. That bribe is coming your way for information 😉 haha.

[frank sundial]

That's the best part, at least for me. I struggle to run something truly blind, becuase at the very least I'll know the roster. With this all being so unknown, there's nothing much outside of guesswork and discussion here that I can really work with.

It feels a lot like playing with the DMOG back when I was a kid and the Internet wasn't as much of a thing as it is now

[fervent hedge]

We won't ever get the awesome work Humulos puts into official digimon devices. If we ever want something similar we will need to work together.

I have forgotten, but do we get anywhere on the menu that tells us the care mistakes we made (how many)?

[solar basalt]

Btw love the new DMK background scenery

[frank sundial]

That'll be the Condition bar

Each half a heart missing is a care mistake

[fervent hedge]

Thanks. Should make making notes easier.

[frank sundial]

Also yes! The backgrounds are really well made.

[tulip acorn]

Do you mind if it’s Lilithmon X when I add the X variants?

[tulip acorn]

There are condition hearts now, yes

[fervent hedge]

Can be any version you want. Also don't feel you need to rush adding certain digimon. I just banter around. I would love all variety when you get time.

[tulip acorn]

In the DMK it’s one heart one CM

[frank sundial]

Ooh, good to know

[fervent hedge]

Super helpful

[tulip acorn]

Keep discovering those new things!

[fervent hedge]

Jordi Do you have a road map for the Kiwami?

[tulip acorn]

But the big part is under the hood

[tulip acorn]

Not yet but I am crafting one

I need to decide on the priorities

And thanks to these last updates i am getting an idea to how long I take to make stuff

I am thinking a big update can take 1 to 2 months

And I will be remaking all the features to make the device more complete

Next will be the adventure mode

[fervent hedge]

I prefer big updates. Always find they add the most and you can work on the next one longer. Instead of shorter updates. Unless there are bugfixes that make babies take 2 days to digivolve 😉

[tulip acorn]

For the 100th digidestined I will add the Freeze mode as a small refresher

But then it will be stable until next update except for important bugfixes

[fervent hedge]

That will be a much wanted feature for when I work

[frank sundial]

New notebook to help with this. Knowing there isn't a major update for a while means I can invest in taking notes a bit more.

[tulip acorn]

Yes yes

Sam will be the Know it all of the Kriegers

[frank sundial]

[solar basalt]

Figured it out but having trouble using flash

[tulip acorn]

Precisely what we need is to put the Pico in bootsel mode xD

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed.gif

[tulip acorn]

By the way, inside there is a Raspberry Pi pico 2 with an RP2350

[solar basalt]

Oh right idk how to make it recognise it it may not be looking for it

Did you use micropython or arduino pico apparently those can get in

[tulip acorn]

I use Vscode and C++

🤣

[solar basalt]

Oh noes 😂

[tulip acorn]

Damn it

[frank sundial]

Has the evolution timer shortened significantly for Baby 2 - Rookie?

[tulip acorn]

No?

[frank sundial]

Becuase vape is almost ready to evolve

[tulip acorn]

Damn

[frank sundial]

He evolved less than an hour ago

[tulip acorn]

Install the bugfix again please xD

[frank sundial]

This is exciting, even the bugs are fun

[solar basalt]

My guy's taking a while

Maybe it varies across eggs or something else is going on

[tulip acorn]

Turns out I uploaded a bugged bugfix and changed the file again but notified no one

I literally took 1 h to realize it was STILL BUGGED

So I fixed it asap and replaced the file

[solar basalt]

I musta got the fixed one 😄

Idk what to do about my bootsel any ideas?

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots.gif

[tulip acorn]

That’s probably the thing

[tulip acorn]

Gonna try the Arduino way

[solar basalt]

Ty! Lmk how it goes there's gotta be a way to get it into bootsel

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed1.gif

[tulip acorn]

Can you run the following code at least once?

[solar basalt]

Through the terminal?

[tulip acorn]

Yes

Gimme a sec

picotool load -v -x firmware_1.1.01.uf2 -f

Make sure the file is in the same folder

And that the filename is correct

And that the DMK is connected and recognized by the computer

[solar basalt]

Unexpected option -f error

[tulip acorn]

Okay, remove -f to see

[solar basalt]

It's recognising something is connected

No accessible rp2040 devices in bootsel

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed6.gif

[tulip acorn]

Damn it

Also bad bot! THERE ARE NO BOOTS IN BOOTSEL

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_mad.gif

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed3.gif

[tulip acorn]

Stahp

[solar basalt]

It should recognise the rp2350 though unless I have an old ver of picotool

[tulip acorn]

I think it should

We just need to figure out the command to force the boootsel mode via serial

Serial usb

Can you try

OKAY

THIS IS STUPID

can you check the com port your DMK is connected through?

Basically if you find it

Just type the following code in terminal

[solar basalt]

Should be COM8

[tulip acorn]

Okay

mode com8 1200

[solar basalt]

Yaaassssss

It works!

[tulip acorn]

OMG

SUCH A STUPID FIX

now we know!

[solar basalt]

Ikr I spent hrs on it 😂 finally tho it's fixed! I feel very safe knowing there's an extremely easy solution if anyone's bootsel breaks

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed7.gif

[tulip acorn]

Definitely very easy yes

Omg finally

I am so relieved i could literally fall asleep now xD

[solar basalt]

Me too! Feels great 😄

May as well add it to the next guide XD I'm never touching the bootsel button on yellow again this is way easier 😂

[radiant geyser]

https://humulos.com/digimon/images/ui/tarakotchi_boots_fixed5.gif

[solar basalt]

I'm gonna start calling it evil button that way I don't get them dancing on me

[tulip acorn]

I’m gonna call it the boootsel button

Or b00tsel button

[solar basalt]

I like b00tsel XD

[tulip acorn]

Very NSFw

[frank sundial]

Reinstalled the patch, reset the device, so hopefully the rapid evolution bug isn't there, it got all the way up to biyomon in about an hour and a half

I do think a shorter baby2-rookie time would be nice, 17 hours is quite the wait till the real bulk of the device unlocks

[tulip acorn]

Hmmm i have it that way because otherwise there are no chances for care mistakes

We (my official beta tester also wife and I) tested the device at home with shorter times but we ended up increasing the time because of that

And to add a way to connect better with your partner similar to the first devices

[frank sundial]

Oooh ok that makes sense. Maybe there could be an item that launches a baby2 into a random Rookie from its evolution line?

It could be quite rare, but adds a fun twist that you don't get to decide what it turns into

[tulip acorn]

Maybe maybe

Gotta study the possibility

New items will come in due time

They need a supporting gameplay loop to be able to be used effectively though

So expect them in next update when I touch on the adventure mode

[frank sundial]

Ooh nice. Yeah I'm happy with the 17 hours, I'm just an impatient person at times. Maybe this is the time to learn to appreciate the slower approach

[tawny flame]

super training changed with the patch?

im on full energy food and training

but there's a meter on the bottom that's on like 0,5% lol

[tulip acorn]

Is it 100% available ?

[tulip acorn]

That

[tawny flame]

yeah, that wasnt on before. How do i increase it?

just waiting? it means i miss the timing on the 8AM to 12 PM time limit 😔

[tulip acorn]

I think you can do it in the afternoon too

It was there but it was hidden

[frank sundial]

It's just once every 24 hours, right?

[tulip acorn]

Since you just started the device, the counter is back to 0

[tulip acorn]

Exactly

[tawny flame]

bad timing to update the device lol

[tulip acorn]

It’s a way to prevent turning off / repeating the training

[tawny flame]

for me

[frank sundial]

So if you train at 4pm today, you can't traing again til 4pm tomorrow

[tawny flame]

should've trained first lol

[tulip acorn]

You loaded a save after updating. I do not recommend that because some variables will be initialized as random numbers

It’s better to reset the device

[tawny flame]

but i dont want to lose my friend :c

[strange basin]

I've always set clock to 8:00 when digimon wakes up and then had it go through special training 😆

[tulip acorn]

I understand!

[tulip acorn]

I know it sucks but I changed many things and could not make it 100% compatible. Sorry 😭

[tawny flame]

makes sense

will do

[tulip acorn]

You can still play and see where it goes

But I do not know if you might just get stuck

[tawny flame]

ill say goodbye to my lil fella

[frank sundial]

That's what I did, I had my digimon die to see if a new egg would stop any bugs, but the bugs caused my digimon to evolve really fast

[tawny flame]

was a true buddy

[gusty glade]

@tawny flame has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[tawny flame]

New buddy

[gusty glade]

SHINKA!

@tawny flame has evolved into Baby II!

[strange basin]

I would like to beat Area 5 before my current digimon dies and before I update my device 👏 🥺

[tulip acorn]

Yeeeey

Where did that button go!?

You can glue it back

[frank sundial]

How did you get them with a reset? Can you pick an egg from the start?

[tulip acorn]

Egg 2 turns into botamon

But Agumon is not in there ahaha

[frank sundial]

I love botamon, haha

[tulip acorn]

Me too 🥹

[frank sundial]

I made one years back

But surely you cannot access egg 2 from a reset?

[tulip acorn]

Egg 1 and egg 2 are available from the start

[frank sundial]

Ooooh wait you can

I might have just murdered a baby just to get botamon

[tulip acorn]

You “might”
