 Hey, what's up folks welcome back to another 3d hangouts. My name is no ever was I'm a designer here at a different join me every week It's my brother Pedro. Good morning, Robert. Yeah, Pedro. Let's pray to take here a different every week We're here to share three printed projects feature electronics from a to fruit skulls This is sure we combine 3d printing and skulls to make inspirational projects for you folks It's gonna be skulls for the next what six weeks two months, whatever it is Yeah, it's it's a small season and immediately after it'll be Christmas immediate. Yes. I said it Hello everybody in the discord chat room. Thank you for joining us this morning We have some fun creative things to share with folks. We hope everyone's doing all right We'll give some shout-outs to everybody and then we'll do some morning housekeeping Good morning everybody hanging out in all of the chat rooms are hanging out in the discord at discord at gg Slash Adafruit on the YouTube's on Facebook. No, not on Facebook. It does not want to Work on twitch. That's fine. Nobody cares about face Thing that's working right now every week on Instagram and on Periscope good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon. Good night. Everybody hanging out all over the world Let's go ahead and start off with some housekeeping. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get out some shout-outs Yeah, I was waiting for everybody hanging out say hello We are chill out with everybody in the chat rooms Andy Coway Liz blitz city DIY Paul Cutler Yanni Vince John J. P. Skir rosen Mike P Do ester Conor Mattable Derek you're all about patrons Good morning to y'all and let's go ahead and get it started Alright, let's hit up. Let's go to a different comm such free.

We'll look at jobs that a different comm real quick if you are the market for a gig or if you're looking to Hire some maker folks Check out the jobs board at jobs at 80 food comm. It's free to do so and all of the posts are kind of vetted by lemar and phil philip toron mr. Mrs. Ladyata So you can check out the jobs board at jobs at 80 food comm Do-do-do news letters We have a newsletter that happens once a week and that is Focused on 80 food products. So if you want to subscribe to that you can go to a the fruit comm slash news letter 80 food daily is where you can get your daily dose of emails if you'd like stories and tips and that sort of thing you can subscribe to the many different categories and we want to Celebrate a milestone of the python on microcontrollers newsletter. It is our 200th issue So we shout out to ambarella and the circuit python crew for coming up with awesome content and everybody's sharing their stories It's a great opportunity for folks in the community to share their stories and get it in front of thousands of folks Giving a big shout out to paul cutler for hosting the circuit python show podcast Be sure to subscribe to it on any of your podcasting services. You just search for the circuit python podcast All right, and I think i'm circling back over to circuit python meetings It happens every monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time you can sit in and listen Live or you can check out the archive like it's posted shortly after What normally happens on mondays at 2 p.m. Eastern time and that's the circuit python Meeting kind of community. Do we have a proper name community hangout? Maybe we can call it Cirque python weekly. I think we call it And it happens in the discord chat room which segues me back over to the discord chat Rolves is asking is there a hum on the stream? It's about 1700 hertz. Yes. Yes. There is a hum It's a spreader fan. It's hey, look, it's me with a moustache Yes, you're hearing a knock to a fan. Yeah, I can shut it down if you'd like but uh, it might melt the case now No, it's not that hot Yeah, it's sucking in air Yeah, this is this week's pro. Oh, I'm at it. It's kind of this week's project is a raspberry pi media server. This is a Cool way to make a media server so you can stream content and Play your content on a raspberry pi 4 So we have this pc case design this pc inspired pc tower case I'm just not good the main thing about this product is that we're using a solid straight drive an external solid state drive So we have a sata To usb 3 cable you can get up to 50 megabits of Of read and write speeds on the pi so you get some faster Um performances this way So this was a project idea from lemar. She thought it'd be a really good idea to make Our own media server with a pi and using an ssd. So it's all a straight drive. This is one from samsung It's about a terabyte, which is a lot bigger than the sd cards That you're normally using when you're doing a raspberry pi project So we have a lot of features in this pc case. So again, the raspberry pi is mounted to this 3d printed uh Case and it has these two side panels the side panels has some some uh, some things you can mount to it So here we have a back to a fan to keep it nice and cool And on the other end we have the bracket for a standard 2.5 inch Solid state drive you have ports on the bottom here for all of your hdmi and usb and audio things And then on the front here you can see we have this lovely 1.9 inch tft and you can do all sorts of things like display Useful information or not useful information you can display a mp4 video or some gift images But for now we have some circuit python code that's uh displaying The ip address the cpu temperature and some memory and disk usage here So that gets mounted to the to the case with these hardware screws You have access to your usb ports in your gigabit ethernet And on the back side we have a micro sd card extandoor so that we can actually add Micro sd you can notice that I don't have an sd card there This is the thing because it's it's using the the ssd So everything is running off the ssd, which is awesome. It's it's nice and fast and speedy and uh Lots of storage Another feature we have we have this fancy 16 millimeter arcade button that's metal and it has a built-in led with a built-in resistor And that led is tied to the tx pin. So it'll give you status Indication so you know if your thing is on or not and it's uh, we have some some scripts to do a safe Shutdown so if we want to shut this down we can do that on the top here We have these two buttons that are tied to do to two different gpi opens and you can use these to cycle through different modes We have a script that's available to cycle through different gif images Um, yeah, so What's the last feature of the 3d printed handle because why not you have this 3d printed handle So you can carry this thing around and it's a print and place hinge and it just gets secured to the top side here under the buttons cool So that's the project in nutshell Um, we'll go through the learn guide and talk a little bit about software stuff Look, there's new member stash and the skateboard talking to the skateboard Um, this is a little display that we have. Uh, it has a built-in speaker And this is a little wireless Keyboard that we like it has a built-in trackpad And uh, this monitor is just running over hdmi We have one of the official raspberry pi hdmi cables because they use a I think it's a micro or mini hdmi something like that. I think it's micro That's my joke, um, so yeah, this is a nice display if you want to do something small like that but really we're talking about the uh, this uh Fancy pc case For your raspberry pi 4. So again, we're using the raspberry pi 4 because it's got usb 3 And I think this is a 2 gigabyte model, but we have 4 gigabyte And 8 gigabyte model versions At some point we're going to stock this sada to usb 3 cable right now. We don't but we will soon someday We have all we have all the other parts though, uh to make this build. There's a lot of little Accessories and things that make this project modular and a little bit more robust. So we'll walk through all that stuff But for now here's Pedro with the guardian sword So for software wise, let's talk about the streaming software that we're using. This is just Chrominium in kiosk mode meaning that you can kind of go full screen So you don't see the url and stuff like that. You can always exit though using alt f4 Keyboard shortcut to exit out of the chrome chromium. So plex is a live streaming kind of platform that you can install on linux mac pc, etc, etc So you just install this and it installs on top of your chromium browser And it's got a pretty sweet interface. Um, so it can it has its own kind of Movies that you can stream and it also has live tv Let's check out some live tv. Hopefully it doesn't kill our bandwidth, but this is the design network It's kind of a fun Just a bunch of beauty shots of like homes and Furniture and stuff. It's basically hgtv But like they even have the knockoff I know that from this right this old home. No the redhead dude like from this old home Oh Yeah, which they have their own like series or something now It's a fun channel and there's lots of other streaming There's add-ons for plex plex The plex tv. I think it's plex How do I I'm like looking at the uh the computer and not the monitor. So yeah live tv There's movies. It actually can pull from netflix disney plus Hulu and a bunch of other places There's a lot of add-ons you can do there's music on title and what we did is uh, we wanted to put some uh Some content on the disc itself So we have all of our eater fruit not all of them But a good amount of eater fruit videos here locally added from the ssd. So you can just import those How about some cookies you want to see some cookies? I love this video. That's pretty much The gist of it. You can set up custom macros and stuff if you want to have a remote control or something like that But the plex software literally is just like download it from the plex website using chromium And just install it and installs and you can log in with the various accounts Um, I think they have support for google and facebook and that sort of thing Or you just use your email free to do so free to make an account. You don't have to you could also install something like Um Codi is another thing you can use Um, we call box for retro gaming. You can do that. You can do retro pi Just one note is the reason why we're using the raspberry pi os is because we are using circuit python libraries The blinker wrapper to make this display of work. So this is all done. Thanks to the Thanks to blinker wrapper in the circuit python libraries shout out to melissa for really doing all that um So, yeah, a really easy way to display text and and that sort of thing using the circuit python libraries so, uh Questions we'll go ahead and answer those questions. I um gotta do a little bit of research real quick I forgot how to exit a python program in raspberry pi So i'm just gonna google that and um exit the program Up we go how it's like uh Here is let me so i'm gonna use the terminal and do an ssh Like into it. You can you can watch page of bake some cookies here. This is our favorite cookie recipe So, uh, you can make some holiday cookies All right, i'm gonna do the thing sudo ps ef um grep And then python it tells me what the script idea is Um And then I can do kill sudo kill and then the id of the script Which is uh, oh this says it's control c Well, it's not running yet. So I have to i'm doing a new terminal instance So yeah, it would be control c if I had it running, but this is uh, what's kind of cool is I have it I have done a auto start script. So this just boots automatically So there's no real way for me to kill it other than killing the the pid Uh through the terminal. So i'm about to kill it now um, it's uh one three seven nine That kills that it doesn't clear the screen because it just keeps it there. So i'm gonna Now run the next python script, which is our gift player This is a really fun one shout out to jp for modeling for this one jp is Famously the doom guy. So that's jp. So, uh, you can play some gift images It's just using the pillow library. We have a learn guide on uh on this As a separate kind of guide that pertains to just doing any gifts on the raspberry pi using a tft But our script is specifically written For this format and the screen and the gpi opens So I can use the two buttons to cycle through them So here's some gifts of uh of the circuit playground express led glasses driver um the brain craft hat blink uh And back to doom. So One's just cycling through one way and the other one cycles through the other way Um, but you could program to do whatever you want. This is just the scripts that we have included In our in the learn guide repo. That's cool. I'll just leave it there. Um And maybe you played a trampoline video next I think that's Majority or you can you can play mp4s. I don't uh, I haven't tried that out yet But I remember the marseille you can try that out and I just never did because there's a lot of different ways you can go with this Um, at the end of the day, I just installed quake 3 and started playing quake and I forgot about streaming content, but hey It's it can be used for all sorts of different things Um, but yeah, I wasn't aware that you can make a bootable drive with an ssd That's really cool so, uh That's the project we can go over to a learn guide and check it out There's the there's machichi. I just went to the raspberry pi forums and typed in how to exit a python program um But if you head on over to learn that 85.com easier guide is up there And there's a lot of parts for this project um the raspberry pi 4 I think we're I think at 11 30 we'll have a stock. So we'll check in at 11 30 If we have any pi stocks, but this is the pi 4 if you have one use them if you got them type deal The displays are in stock. This is a 320 by 170. It's an IPS display So you get really good viewing angles as you saw in the demo We're for the buttons. We have these like These stemma wired tactile buttons that have little jst ports on them So it's a little bit easier to connect them and disconnect them. So that makes it modular We have the micro sd card pcb extender Which is good for a case like this and we have a fan. There's a bunch of other parts like the buttons and gpio header pins and This right here the uh, the pyrimony nano hat hacker is a really great way to make Um a modular raspberry pi project. So you can solder a I have to say solder You can solder you say gifs to apparently So when you can solder um Wires to these pins and then you can pop out this whole This whole pcb. So you don't have to like, uh, you know wire it directly to the gpio pins on your raspberry pi It really makes it awesome. I love this thing. Definitely get one if you don't have it We used it in a the boomy Airplay boombox project a little bit ago and it just makes it modular and gives you more pinouts So it's really nice And it's a thin pcb and pyrimony does great Pi project or five products. So especially when they keep reusing the pie in different projects Yeah, so it's a really good method and we'll we'll look at the wire you to on that Um, you still need an sd card a micro sd card Because you have to like burn a special utility Using the raspberry pi os Pi imager software You have to select like usb boot and then you can Use that and it'll like Allow usb Storage to be used as a bootable drive. We'll walk through that as well Um, the sata drive. I just link it to amazon, but if you have one on hand, you can use that It's a 2.5 inch. I think they're all standardized Cables some quick connects um those work well for their arcade buttons So you don't have to solder directly to the pins We have some two pin mollux connectors as well that plug in Directly into the fans. You don't have to splice wires there if you don't want to some hardware and The heat inserts and heat insert tip because I really wanted the the threads on the case to be Really good and if you don't want those threads to wear out You're best off doing heat set inserts and they're more strong more reliable and that's why I'm using them But you could always modify the case design if you just want to Uh, drive directly into the case, but I'm using heat inserts, but that's that's uh, that's kind of optional I guess All right, we got a circuit diagram That disappeared there it is. Um, that just shows you a visualization of how all the things are wired There's a lot of wiring going on here. Um, so that's why we've broken everything out Um But you're free to kind of update this wiring as long as you kind of update the pins in the code or the script that you might be running Um, but this is a spi display It's using the spi protocol. So you got about eight wires. It's a nice Chunk of wires that go on there But you can change this up if you want to but we haven't set up this way because our codes already kind of Set that way for these GPIO pins Um, but yeah, so that's circuit diagram CAD files you can get stls or the CAD source If you want to modify it definitely download the step file or the fusion 360 file and that includes all the external components and stuff that's used Um, there are some new 3d models that I had to put together notably the 1.9 inch tft display So that one's been added to our github repo and we have a link to that So that's really nice if you want to use this display It's got these four mounting tabs that make it really nice and easy to mount to 3d printed stuff or cnc'd stuff or whatever cardboard software set up so Um You definitely want to choose your os and the only caveat is if you're using something other than the raspberry pi os Well, we don't have circuit python support for it. It's just a lot to maintain So we're kind of exclusively on the pi os So if you want this display to run in circuit python You're gonna want to use the pi os a boon too has a lot of great things and options But it just doesn't have that circuit python support We have a guide linked out external guide from tom's hardware So shut up for tom hardware for doing some great um guides And they already have a really good thorough tutorial on how to uh make a usb bootable raspberry pi with an ssd Um, so you can check that out just one caveat is um when you're booting up The pi tends to look for um devices So if you have anything other than the the ssd drive connected like maybe this Dango for your your keyboard mouse combo It'll try to boot off of that Not this so just make sure that when you when you're booting up that you don't have anything plugged into it only The usb port for the ss drive. So that's one thing I learned that was kind of weird But that's why I have a warning there But the raspberry pi imager is chock full of You know variants so you can choose all that on that point The wester is putting out that inside that there is an option for the os to create a boot Over the ethernet he hasn't tried it, but here is the instructions. He links to it on tom's hardware Yeah, so that's a really cool way to do it too Yeah, I'm consider that one Um, so you have your options, right? But definitely you want to use the raspberry pi imager. It just makes things so much easier You can even kind of configure your wi-fi before having to do a headless pie That is really awesome. They've done so much great work to the to the imager. He's be so archaic Yeah, it's so much better now That's why it made so much sense to make this guide because it was like, okay, all this stuff is ready to go Um, installing circuit python libraries on the raspberry pi is its own guide shout out to melissa You know for doing all this. She's really the the force behind blinka So this will walk you through all the things you need to know about installing circuit python on your raspberry pi And then we have some code so these are the code snippets For doing these demos like displaying the ip address and cpu temperature Very similar to circuit python code because it is circuit python code So you can see here it's importing all of the the standard Libraries like display text to the bitmap font for doing custom fonts. I even have fonts here aerial nice fonts So you can create your own fonts as well or just use our fonts that we have included in the repo You got some pinouts And then there's some of this kind of special code for doing For grabbing the ip address It's a sub process check kind of thing going on there And then drawing labels, you know, you can change the colors you can use the font You can scale the fonts if you want And then the position for them. So if you've done any circuit python display text programs before it's pretty much similar here And then the gif player one this is kind of a modification of Melissa's learn guide on playing gif images using the pillow library on the raspberry pi So it uses the pillow library. There was one kind of small update Because the pillow library got updated or something. So this accommodates for that Really don't have to mess with this the stuff other than like if you want to put your gifs in a different folder or something like that Or maybe you're using a different display or you want to rotate it differently. You can do all that and that's all commented here But shout out to melissa for kind of writing that one. I'm just going to tweak it a little bit And then we go on to the auto start script So if you want to auto start a python script, you can follow along with these commands You create a new service file. I called mine tft display dot service Then you want to kind of tell where the script is if you have a different hostname for your raspberry pi You want to change it in that path you want to use absolute paths and if you've changed the name of your python Uh code file, just make sure you update it here in this in this file um You exit that and then you run some uh some system CTL system control daemon stuff to enable the service on boot And that's pretty much it and if you want to change it you can just uh change the service file And if you want to change like the script, maybe you want to play the gif player on on auto start And then uh, we have some A little bit of a mini mini guide on enabling safe shutdown You basically just want to modify the config dot text file and the terminal or whatever text app Um, and you can change up the gpio pen here if you'd like by default gpio 13 When it is tied to ground it'll boot the pi up. So we're actually um connecting to do two different gpio pens for this one button the power button Uh gpio 27 will shut down Unfortunately, you can't use the same gpio pin three to do two things for whatever reason I couldn't get it to work Um, so I just picked a different pin Installing the media plex server Uh You just go to the website And it's it kind of makes a local host Um URL that's accessible using this port And then you can access the interface there. There's a basic setup wizard that like walks you through installing your libraries and stuff like that Your video if you have any And that sort of thing and then here's the auto start chrominium in full screen kiosk mode You kind of want to edit the auto start, um configuration file Add the thing and reboot your pi And that's kind of it. That's so you can do um The full screen in kiosk mode and chromium That's kind of it in a nutshell. So A lot of little different pieces that kind of come together to make uh your thing But you're completely free to to do it and out of order or any other Kind of thing just the main thing I want to say is like the tft If you want to have circuit python on it, you need the raspberry pi os. So that's about all I got for that um Take a look real quick. Look at the wiring. Um The pico hat has this really nice pinouts on it. That's really great when you're wiring They're actually labeled. They're labeled lovely and they have icons. It's a they do it the best They really do. Uh, so we're wiring up all the things for the arcade button. I'm using those, uh You know those quick connects. I don't have to solder directly to them and these buttons are really nice They have labels on the side of them. So you can't confuse what's what Uh, the fan i'm using a different fan just because I don't want to go a different fan but the one that's in this in the in the store is uh Not a noctua one. I just happen to have one. So that's what I used There are 44 uh 40 millimeters Normally the fans are uh kind of sized accordingly. There's a 50 a 40 and a 30 This is the 40 Wiring everything up to the pie hat. It's really nice and easy because you have labels Um, but yeah, I I basically wired up the tft display directly to the pico or not pico the Pyramony nano hat used to be called the pico hat, but now it's called the nano hat This pico came out We need a alert sound Raspberry pies are in stock All right. It's just in everybody. It's just the a gig the a gig is but I think that's the one everyone wants Yeah, I get one too max one per customer folks I am checking out. Um, you do have to have a registered account with aida fruit And I don't know my card something I gotta go order on my other computer. I want to be right back. Go ahead. We'll be back but hey lightning alert Raspberry pies are in stock a gigabyte model So check that one out. Let me go back to the line guide um So with the tft display wired up to the to the hat, um, I didn't really want to wire anything else to it Because I really like the modularity of it um, so for the buttons the led and The power switch. I'm using um corresponding Uh connectors, so that's what I got wired into there. So everything really is modular On to the assembly we start off with the hardware for the for the raspberry pi Uh, normally the mounting holes for a raspberry pi is set up for an m25 sized hardware You could do m3 hardware if you wanted to use some thumb screws that happen to be m3 for example But you do want to have to tap those mounting holes There's enough room on those mounting holes to do that But just a kind of a fair warning. I even have a little warning about it adding the heat inserts Using a soldering iron is the way to do it because you got to heat it up and um The holes are a little bit smaller than the brass insert themselves so that the heat kind of Expands the the PLA and kind of melts into it. So it's a heat set Kind of deal And we have a learned guide on creating a heat set rig if you want to do Really precise and lots of heat inserts You can use a soldering iron and some three dependent parts and a piece of aluminum extrusion To make your own rig for doing heat inserts We have a full guide on that with hardware and everything Or you could just use your regular soldering iron, which is fine, too. It's only a few of them Installing the handle definitely want to do that before Fitting other parts in there with some m3 screws and hex nuts like it's attached Um all the geometry on this case on the frame is like optimized with 3d printing without any support So that's good. You don't have to print it with supports um, so that's nice and then uh, we have a stand alone Button plate for these buttons with those jst connectors on them We're using standoffs to kind of elevate it and then they line up perfectly with the holes in the case The next part is installing the pie So the pie gets some header or some standoffs and that gets secured to the bottom of the frame I'm using these really nice m3 thumb screws because they also double this feet So that's why I use them at three hardware. You want to install the sd card extender And then start securing the the the metal power button Which is a 60 millimeters in diameter and has the thread and it comes with its own hex nut so that gets uh It's like panel mounted to the side And then the next thing is to secure the display that gets secured. It's got mounting holes. It only goes in one way um, and then at that point you can uh Place the the pie hat over the GPIO pins on the pie Then start connecting everything Fan gets mounted to one of the panels. It's symmetric. So it doesn't matter Which side of the 3d printed panel just make sure that the um, The fan is is is is uh facing the right Uh orientation for the air to come in So air is blowing on the pie and not sucking and out unless you want to do that, I guess Uh, but they get secured to those heat set inserts. They're m3 sized The ssd mount gets its own set of uh Kind of standoff so it's elevated away from the panel mount that way you have a lot of ventilation It doesn't get hot, but if it did it would have a lot of ventilation So that gets secured these um These uh these drives have like two sets of mounting holes So the way that the thing is that these tabs kind of these tabs here are in you know There's mounting holes on the side of it and on the bottom of it. So it's kind of weird So I haven't really seen something like that before So you can kind of mount it in a different way if you'd like But that's how I have it mounted and that's kind of it. That's the learning guide in a nutshell um And we have a warning here too Shout out to and for putting this if you plug the ssd into one of the usb 2 ports The non blue ones uh the project may work But you're not transferring data use b3 speeds. So use the blue port. Yes, that's a good note Anybody mentioned that? Good stuff. So that is a learning guide in a nutshell. Did you get your Raspberry Pi? I did. I had a cart full of stuff that I emptied out Frickin I took a screenshot because I knew this would happen. Yeah Well, they're still in stock Oh, they are yeah, that's great one per customer. I was going to say sorry I got mine so I could keep doing projects for work Right, sorry Um, so yeah, that's plex that's wiring in a nutshell This is super cool because I really like that you can use this project as I think I was saying last week as like, you know In the office or whatever like a front office to get it be connected to a tv Or just running all of your company's ads in our case would be like all the project videos just running back to back It's pretty cool for that for museums who have on display whatever the Thing that they're showing it can just be a continuous loop Really cool for that. And of course old-school gaming like wake Check one of my favorite games growing up quick three Yeah, that intro brings back some new memories and you can install quick We're just going to like the the app thing Oh, I'm in this mode. Oh the sound effects, right? Yeah Brings him back to that G4 iMac was there's actually servers and stuff. That's crazy. No, there's servers still going Yeah, remember those uh servers that were left for like years and they figured out that all you do is just sit there Right, that was a weird one Yeah I could go full screen and all that but I just didn't want to yeah, so I I put I posted the uh links in all of the um the chats Derek has picked one up and so funny that he was saying that he Wishes that they weren't stopped. So there you go. You tuned in at the perfect timing This one's pretty freaking good man. What? Well, I mean One of my favorites, I just wish I had a mouse. Was that the yeah, whatever gun pulls something One hit right one hit shot Derek says it's time to build a plex server. Yes How freaking cool y'all right, so I guess I'll demo the uh the safe shutdown. It's so great to just go Okay, I want to go Oh man, I missed it in the snap. Oh, sorry. I could power it back up once it goes But you can see here it gives a little text display and saying hey, I'm doing this shutdown service Give it a second And uh you get some green led indication there and then this guy right here will uh stop lighting up It's wired to the led particularly is wired to the tx pin So now the tx pin is like I'm done. So the led shut off and it's safe to unplug it right Um, oh man, I was going to leave it plugged in so that because it'll just automatically boot After using the The sata drive as a bootable drive you'll want to take out any usb devices that might be plugged in This is the the two gigabyte version. So it's not the fastest, but it's good enough Um for quick three It's great for video and streaming So this is just a part of the uh The kernels like looking for a usb bootable device. So it has it takes a little bit extra, but it's pretty quick By uh today's standards Remember when it would take like two minutes to boot up a pie Back in the old old days Speaking of old days in the chat So everything is auto Plex auto kiosk auto loading Auto start the script. It's just ready to go We can start watching some street fighter. Just make sure your dongle gets plugged in again There is one thing. Um, if you have too many Power hungry usb devices Your ssd will be like yo, I need more power So, uh, if you do have an external power source, maybe use that But I haven't run into it because I'm using a keyboard mouse combo But I have a feeling that if I plug something else in it might just start um choking on it, but uh That you know everything has limitations Speaking of pie projects. Lakota the hero is wondering if you would consider making a new version of the pie Pie boy pit boy Oh, that uses a four five inch screen uses the correct state and power source A pit boy would work great with uh with an m4 Or uh, I posted link that uh the one that that uh jp did Yeah, kota wants to use it as uh You know streaming video stuff like a wearable computer. That's wild. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, so with uh today's adventure of uh Looking at when to get a pie Bring out what dates we release pies and timing at all It's still kind of hard to get a pie. So that's actually one of the reasons why we have not revisited that just because of Supply issues. We don't want to make a project be like, oh Can't get it. You can't really get any of the parts Buy all the other stuff though. Yeah, we just having to look down on timing. Yeah Wednesdays at 11. It's wild. That's when we do our show. Yep. It will happen. It is on the uh in the to-do list as the Supply eases. Yeah, we'll get in the future. We'll get back in the more pie projects. Yeah That is one of them The pit boy will be updated soon Maybe next year. Maybe next year, which you know is in a couple months True years almost over All right, cool. That's this week's awesome project. Look at this people like it's a crazy build That's very cool. Yanni. Yeah, I like that Reminds me of the official touch screen I was gonna say it reminds me of the seven inch. Oh, it has like an RFID reader That's sort of cool stuff. Yeah, you can go crazy with your bills. Yeah Especially with the display integrated in like that. Mm-hmm. Yeah Um, I guess ours is the differentiator is like, you know, this supposed to be Maybe like behind a bigger display We're just using the small display because just to show off what it's doing. It's on the desk But maybe we could have a big one here, but we don't want to cover all this stuff up Yeah, very very modular Yeah Actually, that was this week's super cool project Cool. I hope folks got their raspberry pies. We're just gonna set this in the background. I got mine. Let's let it auto play Let's put this away All right, it's up in Let's go ahead and jump into this week's. What are we prototyping? Yeah back with more whippersnapper projects I wanted to make a solar powered one and on the day that we released last week's project Brent had updated whippersnapper components Brent added a battery Gauge so I can see what the battery levels are on a battery pad project so you can see oh, there's not a lot Not enough sun like today. It's been freaking cloudy. Yeah, so this isn't really charging as good So one of those things or the battery level is definitely something that you Nice to have if your project's about to die. You can monitor all this and Cutie pie esp32 s2 right. Yeah, we have there's the battery monitor. Yep. We got a bff on the bottom This is great. This is a built-in barrel jack. So it plugs directly into the charger You can have your Your beefy battery here. This looks like it's 6600 milliamp And then you have your sensor here. That's the air quality co2 temperature humidity And then this is the battery gauge. Yeah, so you're monitoring the battery and you're monitoring the air quality All over wi-fi with it with the circuit python. Well, it's it's whippersnapper Yeah, it's whippersnapper with the whippersnapper firmware and then I guess flip it on the back here Really high quality weather proof weather resistant Solar panel and our all fits behind it. It's all nice and compact. We stock this right? It's a native fruit product It's out of stock But they hopefully will get more in stock. Yeah, let's go ahead and jump into the dashboard for this Because it looks so freaking awesome Going to the one that is labeled solar. All right, so um dashboards Oh, you just want to go to the hardware. Oh, yeah, no, no go to the dashboard. All right So we're using the 80 food IO solar climate. I like how you can differentiate with the emojis there and wow Look at this. It's a lot of stuff. You got your battery level gauge or voltage. You can see like When it's 94 You can see right here like when it's waking up to take some measurements and send it over Here's the cell voltage and battery percent. What's the difference here? Oh, it's the voltage. Yeah And then it turns on to that's when I switch batteries because it's freaking cloudy And this whole like past two weeks three weeks have been super cloudy. Yeah And then you can see your humidity your temperature your co2 and see as it rises up This is freaking awesome. That's great. You can monitor everything like that So if you had something like like a mailbox notification thing You can have this there you don't have to worry about charging the battery because it's charging whenever there's sun The other cool thing that we're doing too is um action reactive action So when it gets too hot it'll send you an email and be like, hey, it's 30c Or when the co2 levels are too high, it'll email you on that as well One of the other things that uh, who was working on the mail brought those Eva Cool thing you can do with that. You can have like the beam breaker So like when the mailbox opens up you can you know, mount this to your mailbox when it opens up It'll send you a message that hey beams and broken or you can even do it with the um What's the other one the magnets the it's the one like the magnet separates from the opening The mailbox door when it like opens it'll you can do that Yeah, go into there you give me more ideas on what Talk about yeah the light sensor you can use a light lens sensor. So you can make a noise When it gets too hot or something Have some LEDs flashing maybe the pir sensor. You can make a plant planter type thing with a water sensor Right now actually I'm one of the other ones I have like five of these set up all around the house now This is so freaking fun all this stuff here. So you're using the The LC 709 that's the battery. Yep. You released that like the day or last week the day of the project launch So I was like, oh man, I really wanted to get that in the video, but I get my chance right here Cool doing it into a uh solar project. Yeah, that's great. And then this scd is the air quality sensor Yep, cool. Let me have a bunch of other ones. So check those out. But uh, yeah, those are all with support right now So you can play with this today. It's free to do so Um with up to two devices and 10 feeds Yeah, any other dashboards or stuff you want to call out? Um, I think this is the most the trigger. Is it really visualizing? So Oh, yeah, yeah, this is one thing. I mean that's I mean you get the idea when it gets too hot when it gets too humid when the light opens Yeah, it'll email you or it can I don't hook up a buzzer. So it'll like, you know, beep at you or an led so like flash So lots of cool reactionary Um actions that you can do based on any of those environmental variables So you've designed this bracket. It's 3d printed and um, yeah, so it's designed to fit the mounting holes of this particular Um, large six volt 3.4 amp solar panel. Nice that you have the PID PID 500. Yeah So we do have one that's like half the size, but I won't be able to fit everything in there I think this is the most compact. It's cool that we can have in there The solar panel itself becomes the mounting mechanism. So these are cool. What are these rubber feet? No, so these little thumb screws come with all of the panels. So You can see here these screw in it's sort of like countersunk. So this will hold it in nice secure And the last thing I want to do is um Add some more framing on here so you can attach to a standardized pole. Maybe like the antenna satellite poles that are quite common Yeah, I'll probably make another one too with like a tripod head. So you can have this indoors so one indoors one outdoors and Just monitor So that's with all the plant stuff. I want to make sure that I'm not burning them Or like you were saying before with the water sensor Since you know, they don't like to be watered every day Every week need to water them like every two weeks And they're all like different and I would get to make sure that the soil is not, you know, too dry So this will definitely help in terms of making sure that all of the environment that the plants want They're all You know ready good. I'm looking at the product page Um, we have a small one, but I didn't get the small one But it's like half the size and I can't really fit everything in there. Let's see did you he has a little stock There's always a huge key button. It's the big red one. So check that out. They might have it Let's click on it There's a Yeah, so we've been there Dang it. Dang. I can't do it on the small one. Is that what the back looks like for yours? Not really, huh? That might have been like a reflection of No, it's different. Oh I mean the pliers change. Yeah I Hope the mounting holes are the same. You had some leeway there. So yes, I do. Yeah, so that was a good thing Yeah, it was to accommodate the countersunk. This is an old product and you pay you 500. That's what I was gonna say Um, there's a big small one. I guess I can try to fit it in the small one the github is down We'll take engineer used to be on whoops go to the small one that one is and stop But it it's like tiny Like I could fit this half of the electronics I'd have to like stack the battery. Yeah, it's like becoming this big. Oh And then is that enough to power or to charge anything? I don't know what the The charging rates and stuff are I mean we can look at the graph and see how much what the voltage is I don't know But anyway, um, we have a couple different ones so And we're using the updated charging circuit this guy, right? Yep. It's got uspc. Yeah Honestly, this is in stock. So if you already have a Yeah, the other thing you're gonna need is that adapter as well A little barrel jack. Oh really? Yep. This guy here I didn't even notice that was a Thing I thought was built-in. This is an adapter. Mm-hmm. It doesn't fit comes with a little tiny. I won't disconnect it I actually know you should be good. Yeah, and it's a weatherproof too. So it has a nice little um, uh, what's it called? It's a little Uh, a snout. Yeah So, um, this is probably going to be dual printed So I'm going to start it off with the ninja flex on the bottom here. So it has a seal So I'm going to have to make it somewhat, uh, weather resistant. So there will be gaskets that are uh In between some of the parts Nice, but this will be fun. Oh crap. We have eight minutes. Oh crap. Okay. All right. Uh, so that's what we're prototyping. Yeah All right, jump it into this week's community mates. I don't know if you got one I have a planter This week it's printed in protopost as wood filament and it's got this nice kumi-ko inspired pattern So that's about it. It was printed in vase mode. So it's really thin They're very thin very floppy And flexible. Isn't that crazy? It feels so good. Yeah, it feels really great So in the overhead you can see that this is a great filament go to protopasta Any other wood filaments are great. It's got some nice texture. I need a uh, whatever nine inch diameter is and and if you got yourself an ikea Fijka Fijka Oh, that's a name of the plan. Is it fijka? Maybe yana can help us with the pronunciation But it's from ikea and uh, it's it fits this kind of looks like a pineapple Um, maybe i'll release it. I don't know. It's a nice kind of thing. So that's what i'm prototyping It's kind of shop talk right because there's some other stuff, but yeah, can we show the robot? Come back. Yeah, i've requested nine inch. Yeah hot. All right community mates All right, this week is a Another skull like I said before next two months is going to be skulls this week skull is a dice tower And i'm not going to be able to actually do it. No, actually, no. Yeah next week's is another skull. So this is a dice roller Wow skulls are pretty multifaceted multi-faceted skulls Somebody uses for skulls. This is a really good use right here as a dice roller rolls very good There's a holes in the eye sockets that come out of the bottom of it so you can Get some dice rolling in there All right. It's the live demo with some dice rolling so movable jaw Which is used to actually catch all the dice. So as it goes through The eye sockets out of the bottom here the jaw the bottom jaw catches all the dice Yeah, so got a couple of these 3d printed dice. Yeah, I really like the triangle one Yeah, so you run there like that boom Oh No, get in So this is the two pieces that get printed and they snap together just a bit of a ball joint there Yeah, you can check this out. They did a really good job Any supports? Uh, no, no supports. You can see on the bottom here prints completely vertical Um, I thought I would need supports on this uh catches itself Yeah, and this is printed at point two five Uh layer height. Yeah, so it's you know, you can kind of see here the resolution on is and hello The filament is from protopasta Yeah, this is green. Uh, you got something green. I don't remember which green, but it's a great green HT PLA so high-temperature PLA nice little detail The skulls here and kind of this was like scanned and then modified but good job on that Perhaps and this is from erin gourd. It's on thingy verse Proper name for the season gourd erin gourd Shout out to erin gourd for their design. They printed it in this really nice Um, kind of marble looking filament There's the pieces they print two separate pieces with no supports Huh, yeah Derek saying as a kid would love this. Yes Mine cannot wait for us to finish the show so they can take this and Do some chattering with that other skull from last week. Uh-huh. Yeah, this are very very cool to design Sorry I think that's uh, what the dungeon master would do, huh? Like two shakes, right? That's so cool See in there. Hopefully doesn't come out Do the another shake Bam, there's your roll. Sorry your headphone users. Sorry But super cool, um Dice tower. Yeah, so check it out. It's a free download on thingy verse Looks really cool. What I like is this doubles as not only a dice tower, but hollowing check decoration for sure multi uses All right, and I think that is this week's community makes Uh, that's this week's time lapse. We have a couple of community make postings at the foot census this way So let's go through those Thanks to everybody, of course for uh, posting your makes Let's take a look at the first one here Post it up on thingiverse by thingiverse user j marin hand marin hand posted this up And they did a remix of the permaproto case So this is a native fruit half size permaproto one of the figures by the way And uh, they modified it so that it's Border Still has the mounting tabs Um, but it has like a different board and um some ports here on the on the top there for uh An OLED and maybe some sort of battery monitor or sensor of some sort Um, they said this is a thinner outer case for the permaproto feather case designed by a fruit The original case is designed to have a feather installed on female headers Which makes the overall case much thicker than I wanted Um, so they made it smaller and they have a small OLED And it works really well and they made it on tinkercad. Very cool. So you can always take our Uh designs and remix them even in tinkercad So it's got the snap fit bits on there. So very very cool for a half size permaproto very nice So just shot of it with the lid closed and the screen like clearly on the shot. Yeah Well, that's fine. I appreciate them posting it up and you could also get the original one It says where it's been remixed from so that's always cool. Yeah Let's you update the design for it to fit on the usbc for the CD 41 that you have No, this is a permaproto case the the one you're thinking is a cutie pie case. Yeah, this is different But uh, yeah, cool. All right next up. We have another one This is a geodesic lampshade posted up on printables Uh rosin Rosin posted this up. It says required a bit of cleanup, but it looks quite nice nonetheless And this is a lampshade. That's a geodesic kind of design and it's designed to fit your standard kind of Oh, I forgot the seven socket or something There's a second piece of a diffuser, but you could just print the frame if you want But um, this can this is the original photos that I took of it really really nice Two pieces you could also do extrude it if you'd like And that was posted by rosinberg very cool Fun lighting fixture and the last one we have is also on printables It's the raspberry pi zero stand and this was posted up as a make by neuro Neuro neurotic panda neurotic panda posted this up It's just perfect for zeros with hats and they are sporting a pyromony in viral hats. Hey Looks really cool. And there's a Bit of an opening for your cables so that it's nicely fitted And it looks great. So if you're looking for your pie Stand pie zero stand you can print ours out without any supports And yeah, put your hats on there too And that is this week's community makes. Yay. We made it. We have one minute to spare We'll jump back into discord say hello And we're ready to shut the show down. So let's uh talk about what does happen in later tonight. We have two shows Show and tell we invite you to come on show and tell this week. It's hosted by jp the doom guy Sorry jp He loves it though. Uh, so tune in um, 7 30 p.m. Eastern time or 5 30 p.m Pt jp time And then um ask engineer is at 8 p.m. Eastern time every wednesday coupon code is on tonight as well 10 off so you can get enough of code And if you want to join just uh hang out on the discord chat room about five minutes before the show And we'll drop the link in there for you. It's a join. We hope to see your stuff there Last week we hosted it. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for everybody for coming on and sharing their stuff. It's a lot of fun Tomorrow is jp's product. Sorry tomorrow's jp's workshop with featuring products And a product pick recap and some other fun stuff every thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time On fridays, we have a deep dive with tim foamy guy every friday at 2 p.m. Eastern. I'm sorry 2 p.m. Pacific Or 5 p.m. Eastern So that is the uh the fridays On sundays we have from the desk of lady aida She's back with a bunch of new stuff It was stem of sunday this this week And then wrapping back around on mondays Is the circuit python hangout at 2 p.m. Eastern Tuesdays is a big deal. Tuesdays is an opportunity for you to get up to 50 off select products from jp Only during the live stream and that's tuesdays at 4 p.m. Eastern or 1 p.m. jp time All right, and then we're here again I think the only thing we can promote now is that reservoir pies are released during our show. Yeah I've got uh Derek over here saying Yay, I can do my project That was fast. That was quick folks. I didn't even think mine would go through And we're we're confident that folks are going to sell these on ebay for 100 dollars. You actually had to use this right We we uh, we hope you do Use it in a project maybe a media server because even the like even the person who's going to buy that for that much Isn't even going to use it anyway. So it's going to sit on a shelf And look at us. We had to like completely tear apart like our raspberry pi camera. I did add a tear apart our Our autoplayer the little tiny Yeah, what was it the buddha radio? That's why it's always important to have modular modularity From the beginning and to integrate it into your design. How do I make it so I could pop out the pie? so You can always swap this pie out not too hard just take these screws off Pop out the thing and nothing is tied to the pie. Uh-huh. So that's really cool. Yeah No, that's actually why I I always cringe when I need to solder Uh headers to anything. Yeah I always want to have with some sort of adapter that can pump off your headers And Liz says uh people who just bought the pilot project should actually use it to uh make an alert for the pie Of meta pie. Uh-huh Where it's on just use it. Don't hoard it or sell it. Yeah use it All right, we hope to see your raspberry pie tonight. That's right. Oh Cool, we're uh past the hour, but we appreciate everybody for hanging out during the live show And with that don't forget to make a recovery. We'll see you tonight. Yeah, we'll see everybody on show until until next time Bye. Bye. Bye folks
