 Hey, what's up folks? What is this? This is the 8 of Fruit show until this is the awesomest place to show off your Pretty cool DIY in the three printing electronics arts crafts projects So it's about a half an hour here I'm gonna call on some people from the 8 of Fruit community and then the larger community show off your awesome projects Let's go ahead and start off with Jeff. Jeff. You are up. Hello, Jeff. Hello. I don't think I've ever been first before So, thanks. I've kind of switched gears and I've been working on a 3d printed lamp I saw this in a well, I saw something like this in the window of a shop and It is made up of a number of different pieces of This is 3d printed natural PETG and it's done with the fuzzy skin setting on some slicers in my case crucis slicer and With the 12 volt LED strips, which I don't have any sitting loose You kind of shove it up the channel. It's it's Empty inside. This is really not gonna show but you see there There's a little channel that you just kind of force the LED down and you wire it at the bottom in and Eventually, I'm gonna have 12 different segments. This is hard 12 different segments, so it'll be a lot more. It'll be a total of three meters of LED strips And I'm using the To regulate it. I can't get this up to the camera. There's the three to 12 volt adjustable power supply So I had it, you know turned way down that you turn it way up And if some of the segments look weird, it's because there's only actually lights in two of them right now Okay, so anyway Soon as just get this finished up Sweet so you notice the difference in the having like the fuzzy skin and one without the fuzzy skin like the diffusion Did it affect me? Yeah in person? You can see a real difference. I have the the fuzzy and the non fuzzy Here and it's just It's just a little more interesting look and those imperfections of a 3d print turn into something else Yeah, and so I made a real nice difference Very cool. It's a nice texture. Definitely should try more diffused fuzzy things. That's a really good tip not thought of that Yeah, very cool. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Yeah. Well, thanks, Jeff. All right. See you around. Yeah, thanks. Hey Let's check on with John JP Hey, how you doing guys? Can you hear me? Yeah, you're good man. Super great This this computer started echoing on Streamyard only if I don't wear your butt So I have to go and grab your butts for this this one event in my life. This is what I mean So I've got a couple of projects that have been coming together over the last few weeks And they're both in a pretty good state. One of them is my little miniature pip boy So this is a microcontroller version of a pip boy And I can put it if you can share my screen there. You can see a little poster of version So this is using a feather Rp2040 it's on a tripler and I've got the joy feather wing over here as well as this little rounded corner ISP display tft isp display. I'm not sure how well focused that is And For this I've got some controls here using the joystick cursor around and it's really just a glorified prop because it Doesn't do much of anything other than show different screens when I hit the buttons on it right now The case I printed as three parts and then I've put together with gigantic oversized M4 bolts and I have Heat set inserts in the plastic. So I screw them in from the bottom But since the screws I had happened to be long I just screwed another set of the heat set inserts on top of that because it just looks cool and unnecessarily fall out The steampunk look yeah, it's sort of it's sort of definitely a wild sort of Oversized look so that's one project and I'm just about done with a guide on that one and then I also had started Working with these new neo sliders the other week and I put together a little more polished controller using four of the neo sliders and I have mostly just dealing with brightness instead of a lot of color stuff going on on these sliders right now But each of those you can see them in there have their own Set of neopixels for neopixels on those I'm going to get a little closer there And then I have our neo key one by four next to it that has a set of four Mechanical key switches, which also have underlit neopixels and then here on the side You can see I have a little feather rp 2040 there my little favorite And you could use this for a host of different things you could also use it in sort of a Different orientations vertical or horizontal mode I am going to work on using this for some color correction stuff inside of light room Maybe that's my my plan for right now the easiest way to get it going and and test it is using midi stuff So I have these keys playing a software synthesizer And then I have these sliders adjusting settings on the synth so So you can also loads and loads of fun playing around Whatever you want that needs sliders And I did set these to to show a little different color When they're set and I realized Really happy accident here. I'm sure this was planned actually on the morris part These align the the neopixels look really nicely so you could do Maybe some color effects horizontally off of these buttons, which would be which would be kind of cool as well So maybe brightness is what the sliders control, but color is what each of these control It's a good idea All right, and that's what I got so uh, I'll show a little more in-depth about these tomorrow on my show If you want to stop by the workshop show, it'll be a one specific port block eastern tomorrow come by I'll take this apart in front of your very eyes and we'll look a little deeper into it and uh, maybe I'll get that uh, Lightroom code uh going Very cool. Can we for that? Thanks so much john. All right, john. Thanks tomorrow. Cool. All right Bye. Bye Okay, next up we're going to check in with foamy guy. Oh wait, uh Is pt or you just you just spoiled it. Oh Who's pt? We don't know. Hey foamy guy. How you doing? Hello? Uh, all right, so I have uh a little bit of show and in a little bit of telling in uh, in telling I have some exciting news, which is that I have uh joined aterfruit team to uh, Congrats work on circuit python. So uh, I'm really excited about that. Yep. Thank you Yeah, we just started the meeting and we will definitely be bugging you for some code. Yeah, awesome. Uh anytime Um in as far as a project I have set up it is uh dealing with nvm storage, which for folks that don't know This is non volatile memory. This is memory that persists. Um across the device like powering off and powering back on Um, and normally when you want to write to nvm storage, you treat it like a byte array So you have to know Exactly how many bytes you're writing into it and you have to format whatever data you want into these byte strings Um, and I have created a library that makes this easier We have just a save function and a load function Uh, and you can pass the save function any python object like this one is a dictionary But you can do a list or a regular variable as well. Uh, you just give it your object It will save it for you It will worry about converting the bytes and counting how many there are and all of that stuff So you don't have to and when you want it back you can just read data and it will give you uh your object back And I set up a little demo of this which is basically just a little chooser between four LED animations and you can select which one you want using Up and down buttons on the thing here and uh each time you make a new selection It does save it in the nvm storage. So if we reset or power off and power back on it will remember The one we chose and it will just automatically start that one up Dude, that's so awesome. That's really exciting. I have a few video projects. I really love you For all the settings. Yes Dude, that's so cool It's really great for that settings or configurations or anything like that Because you can read it when you load the code and then uh, you know, just do whatever you need to To start it up. So awesome, dude. So happy you're joining so freaking awesome. Yeah, thank you Is there a learn guide in the works? I've started from this that Um, I don't know if there is one on this. I mean, I'm definitely open to that So, yeah, if there's um, if there's folks that are interested in it, I'd definitely be willing to write it up Cool. You can awesome. All right. Well, well, thanks for me guy, Tim. Yeah, for sure. Thank you Yeah, we'll we'll check in with you next week the emails and probably probably join the team or the meetings and Awesome. Sounds good. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Yeah, right All right, uh, I think next up we have a special guest Pt who's this guy? That's right, Amy T It's interesting to see what they're saying So today, uh, we're not doing show and tell we're doing show uh, one more and I are, uh You're doing it. Thank you. Uh, basket engineer is not happening tonight. It's happening tomorrow night At 8 p.m. So please join us then and the reason why is today I don't have a post about this. We were um at the new york city Gov Um, this is Gracie Manchin. This is where I guess the mayor lives Uh, Bellazio current mayor eric adams new mayor coming in and here's some lady aida there This is deputy mayor another fill um, and uh, well, what the heck I'll I'll show this you can clear my, uh Screen share if you want Okay, I was gonna do it because I'm admin. I'm I am god here, you know, because it kind of looks like one more I was gonna say also a little max headroom. Um, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna Use my camera to do the overhead stuff and you can you can maximize me here so we can Zoom in a little bit So, um, this is why we were there Uh, okay. Yay. I had to race real fast. So while in our last, uh, Meeting that our internal team does. Um, I'm like, hey, I have my home setup. I'm trying to do this It's been 18 months. It's been terrible. I'm I'm getting there and last week I updated my firmware on my camera That was only black and white which is kind of my thing kind of cool But I won color eventually so I got that and then I had an overhead And uh, then it stopped working because that's what happens when you do live streaming This is why we're the only live streaming show. I think anyways, uh, at least like consistently over the last 10 years So this is the little this is the the the ward thing. Um, this is uh from new york city Solute small business community. Uh, I'll hold it up here The size it is But uh, all of the the businesses that helped out in new york city, uh, aita fruit got turned into an essential business And, uh, we made face shields. We did things for medical devices One of the things we did too is we decided let's pay our team to stay home We didn't do lamps or furloughs And we wanted to really take care of everyone and now we're almost through the other side I know it's still going on and they're still a fight ahead But we're also in this book growth and recovery. It's from nycgov and We're in the back here And I'm gonna have a blog post soon. So if in case you're wondering what I do what I'm not doing asking and jaren writing And and helping out one more running aita fruit But um, I wanted to use this show until and I'll get out of here in a second So you can get to the rest of folks to say thank you to everyone on the aita fruit team. Um, this little Thing here is because all of us people who write the code people who Do the learning guides people who are on the shows people who ship the packages people who receives the things people ship to things Every single person involved allowed us to survive The worst it was and hearing other business people at this event it was a lot of Women and minority on businesses those were the hardest hit including us We're a minority women on business And so, um, I wanted to say thank you to the entire team And then of course, thank you to all of you out there who bought stuff we couldn't ship stuff immediately because Weren't allowed to there was shutdown and then eventually we're able to and a lot of people were very kind and very generous and They they rewarded us with their orders, but also they rewarded us with a lot of kindness during some really tough time I know a lot of people lost folks including me Uh, I am like kintsugi, uh, which is a really cool form of japanese pottery that you put back together with beautiful Glue or you could use gold and everything and so, um, I I'm noticing a lot of people are healing now and and more And so I want to tell everyone out there It's okay to embrace the damage. Um, hopefully this thing won't break. Um, but uh It's okay, and uh, we're all doing better and it was really energizing to talk to other Business owners. Um, one of the people we met today She runs she's a woman owned door manufacturer in new york city and boarded. Where did she have stories? So anyways, uh, I just wanted to say thanks and then we do hug reports They were age for it hug report no Pedro for doing the show until tonight. Right back at you. So yeah, right back at you All I'm shellin and that's all I'm telling The only thing that you don't think it's missing is probably some neopixels, right because it's like acrylic. Yeah So this is just this unboxing just happened right now. Um, I mean like You're gonna probably have to do some type of thing and spin it around on the All right, okay, and then maybe people can print out their owner since All right. Well, thanks so much and uh, I'll be watching on the other side. Yeah, awesome. Thanks disappear me We'll catch you tomorrow. Bye bow. Bye bow All right. That was that was very special Okay, and check in with uh, Liz Hey, Liz. Hey, Liz. Oh Good evening. Um, so I Got um, a little thing that's I'm working on. Uh, it's like a stomping pad thing Um, so it's got two 3d printed like pads and then there's copper Like the sticker stuff in between Um, and then it's hooked up to a circuit playground Uh, eventually there's going to be four of these and it'll be soldered up right now It's just in like prototype mode. Um, and basically the idea is so you'd be able like Stomp on these to send midi notes. Um, you could like use your feet or you could Use your fist if you need to get like some aggression out And it might be I think it'd be cool too for like drum sounds right now It's just hooked up to the robot's iPhone through a raspberry pi But yeah, it was uh this past weekend spent some time like trying to figure out what the ideal distance would be for the The travel and also figuring out how it was going to work to um, so I'd side on springs Yes, it's really good. Yeah I don't know why the first thought that came in my head was like a cat detector or a dog detector of like they step on somewhere where they're not supposed to Yeah, it's kind of got that like mario Like It's really good idea the springs are on the corners It looks like they have like little cavities so they don't fall out of place. That's really good Yeah, and I I use a little bit hot glue to just That works. Yeah, nice All right, good progress. It's gonna be a fun one. Yeah, that's a really good idea. I want to make one now Okay, cool. Thanks so much. All right, Liz. Hey, get you next time. Hey All right next up we're gonna check in with paul Hello paul cutler. Hello Hi paul. It's my first time on show until thanks for having me. Of course So I need to switch cameras. I got two little projects. I'm really big into music and um In my office, I can now control my receiver in the other room So I have a raspberry pi with a 3d printed case on the left that baby yoda's sitting on top of And I can change the volume. I can change the inputs. Of course my hand's blocking it And then on the right I have made a Speaker stand I custom printed a speaker stand and it kind of looks like this on the inside So it's hollow And I put a feather rp 2040 with a neopixels and I mean actually using ketney's Audio reactive code from the led glasses and you can't tell, you know on the camera Um, but as I listen to music the neopixels are going up and down. So those are pretty fun projects That's awesome. I love the audio reactive projects. I always like just adds that little little extraness to the music Cool, I agree Great work song. Hope we see uh, it's some future. Yeah. Yeah, please come back. Yes, we'll do All right. Have a good evening Okay I think last step we have mark our gambler. Hey mark, good. I saw these Thanks So I've shown off my work on these led glasses for A couple weeks now going back and I thought I'd show off what my final project that I was aiming for was is I'm a really big canadian football fan from winnipeg. So winnipeg blue bombers who are now playing in the gray cup the equivalent of the super bowl um And we had the playoff game last weekend to get there. So I wanted something special to wear in the stand. So I worked on these glasses enough. I have the ring lights now working through native code as well displaying messages, um And most importantly if I can find the button I probably can't now you can do it feel The feelers you have this is a lot This wasn't There we go When it was minus 10 Celsius out, this was just as much fun But I needed the special touchdown mode for when they were scoring Including the led animation library is now working with the ring lights, which made it super quick and easy to add in extra effect to all of this I can't say how many compliments I got just walking around the concourse in the stands From so many people. So a really big thank you to everyone at aida fruit and lady aida especially for designing these Tons of people like them And the batteries held For almost four hours below zero below freezing. How cool. Um, I'm not sure if I held out but Oh, they look fantastic. They come out really well. Yeah, they look super smooth. Yeah Yeah, they they work great. Um, yeah Now I just uh, now I've got something to wear all the time And you can watch a football game for three and some hours wearing these Good visibility. Yeah. Yeah, it I didn't take them off all game and it didn't bother me Nice Probably help with the cold too like because it gets a little warm, right a little bit more coverage From my face during the wind, but yeah Now also leds will keep you warm. Yeah Yeah All right, we'll also in progress mark. We'll catch you the next time Thank you so much. All right. Bye. Thanks everybody. Um, I guess I would say, you know The show is coming up, but I guess you wait till tomorrow. That's good. So everybody can go to the thing Thanks everybody for coming. Um, I think we'll be here next week. Yeah It's john john's next week. Yeah jp will be hosting next week. So shout shout to you jp. There you are Ha ha you're still there You'll be there next week Okay, I'll be there. I guess I think that's it. So, oh, yeah, I'm just hanging out back up We're still there All right, what was that we're gonna end it. Bye everybody and good luck with everything. Have a great week all Goodbye guys. See you next time Oh, oh no, he's playing us out Okay
