Good morning, everybody. Modern day. Mohit. Mohit. Mohit. Projects in Dad's Garage. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Good night. Everybody hanging out all over the world. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's project. Yeah, this week's project. All right, Pigeons, tell us about, what do you want the overhead first? Yeah, I think the overhead. Yeah, so last week, we were talking about prototyping a soil sensor node using Whippersnapper. Brent and Lauren and team did a really good job of implementing a bunch of sensors that I needed for monitoring garden vitals. So if we take a look on the inside here. All right, we've got a snap-fit case. So we've got a snap-fit case. It is water-resistant, so you can mist all over. Definitely don't dunk it, though, because that's immersion, but little spits of water is fair. Yeah. So I did test that out. I was able to have these 2-millimeter holes in here because of, I think the texture on it, the weight of the water tension, when it falls on there, it doesn't go through the holes. So that's really cool. This little last-minute, 11th-hour-type thing I was testing out, and it worked pretty good. Ventilation holes on the bottom here, and it is tell up with a stake being the Stemma soil sensor. So this plops right into the ground. This is modeled after some of the cellular, like, sort of nodes that they have like in farms. Oh, industrial farms. Industrial farms. Yeah, that's the way that they do it. That's where it's inspired from. Okay. Yeah. It's kind of built to last and withstand, but it comes with like a weekly subscription and all that. But if you're using like, you know, one or two, what is it up to three devices on Whipper Snapper, Eat a Food I.O., it's kind of free. Isn't it just one device? I think it's one. Yeah. One device, 10 feeds. So you could test that out if you want to. Go ahead and play with that. But we got a bunch of sensors on here that made a nice little nest of these using the new Stemma Passive Hub so we can connect a lot more. It's mostly because the Stemma Soil Sensor doesn't have another Stemma connector. A lot of the breakout ports that have Stemma have, you know, two ports. So you can connect one in and then continue to daisy chain them. The Stil Sensor one does not. So we have to use the hub on here and I'm using quite a bit of sensors on here so I'd run out of them or I'd run out of ports quickly. So we have two additional ones here so I could stick like two more breakouts in there. So what we got here is the, like I said, the hub, the light sensors. You can sort of monitor that so if you're getting appropriate light levels. And then on the Sernsson SCD 30, we have CO2, we have humidity, temperature. And then another new addition, the LC709203, the battery gauge monitor. So you can monitor when it's time to change out your battery, which is down here. We have a nice little mesh here so any of the, so you can, any of the air can go through here and you can get accurate readings on the bottom here. You can see that it is a 66 milliamp hour at battery. And that last, what was I saying, it lasted two days and 40 minutes is what I was able to get out of this. So. 40 plus hours. Yeah. Wow. And that's with no deep sleep. With no deep sleep. Yeah. Correct. So we are going to make. Yeah. So I'm going to make another version of this where it's nice and slimmer because some of the smaller plants, I can't really fit this over all the ones that the examples that we're using the video, they're all pretty big plants. So it, you know, size comparison, the ratio, it kind of works out. So I'll make a updated smaller slimmer one once we get that deep sleep going. But for now, this works pretty well. I have it going like every minute is it's grabbing a feed, but you can have it up to like 30 seconds, up to like, you know, like two hours or more to sort of get like a smoother graph of what the sensors are picking up in the environment. So I know what else we can cover on this snap together, fit, snap, fit, snap, fit, mount for the QDPI. And then everything else is screwed on. So it's nice and secure. Yeah, nice way to make a self contained little sensor node, soil sensor node, making battery powered QDPI can go in one or two different ways. Do you want to show how you're using a battery on the QDPI? Yeah, so we saw this really good technique from the Deborah from Geek Mom Projects. She made a really cool USB-C to a JST. So you can kind of see if it takes part. So it gives you the 5V power that you need. Exactly. You could do a BFF, battery friend, lipo charger. That adds a lot of extra thickness, girth, because it's designed to like fit on the bottom of it. And then it makes it thicker and then your snap fit bit won't really work as well. No it does. I have designed one. So it's a thickness and then the usability, where am I going to charge this? Am I going to stick another battery in there to have to make a port that is now not watertight to recharge it? So it doesn't make sense to add the BFF on there for that. So a real quick way to make a battery powered QDPI in project is to get one of these USB-C connectors. We do have these in the shop. And just wire it up to a JST connector. The only thing it doesn't have is the shell, but I guess she uses hot glue and that pre-uses it up with some glitter. You could use heat shrink as well. That's another option. Take whatever you like. Exactly. So yeah, let's go ahead and take a look at a dashboard. Take a look at some of the data that's coming in from this. Before I forget, we've reached a milestone with Whippersnapper over 1,000 devices. Yeah, 1,000 Whippersnapper devices. I think we are about 10 of those. Okay, 10%. I mean, we're in the graphic there. Yeah, yeah. So this is a huge achievement. Shout out to the whole team, Brent, to be hitting the Whippersnapper team in Adafruit IO. Freaking amazing. This is 1,000 registered devices. We're using it, and we're glad to keep hammering at it, so congrats to the whole team and everybody out there who's been using Whippersnapper. We really appreciate you guys using it. It's a really quick, Andy Kelley's asking, how about putting a solar panel atop. I've been testing that, but because we don't have deep sleep, you use up more than you're able to actually charge. Right. We pitch it to a margin. She was like, not yet. It is coming. It's in the work. We've tried it. It should work right now, but it does not yet. You're making your famous feelings. Oh, I mean, I have one over there. I can show you the, I can show you the, how is it is not changing. Let's get out of this port portal. We're stuck in the pipe portal. Let's get out of here. Let's go to the dashboards. Here we are. We're in the dashboard. So this is monitoring my crystallam and therium, and here we have it's gold out. Well, it's colder outside of a tent. This is Fahrenheit now. Cool. Yeah, no, no. This is Fahrenheit. Great. This is the support. Then we mentioned this a couple of weeks before for Fahrenheit and Celsius. So I'm going to look at the numbers and be like, okay, I understand what this is. So this icon means temperature. What's this one? That is for the humidity. Kind of low right now. And then we have the battery percentage on there. So I need to go out there and change that out real quick. Okay. And then this is over time, a chart of humidity. Yep. Over time. So you can see, what happened? Oh, yeah. What's going on? What's going on? Yeah. Is it getting enough humidity? Is the moisture in the soil? Because I can't keep watering it. You can't overwater these plants. You have to let them dry out. And then the CO2 levels, a really nice thing to have in there to see if they have enough CO2 to make, you know, do some for this size. Oh, great. This opposite. You need more CO2. Yeah. Yeah. Bad for humans, but good for plants. Okay. And there's a poll. I'm going to take a look at one of the devices and check out the VCI, which is this one right here. You can see right now inside the room, what the settings for these are, or what the data that's reading right now. 85 degrees. That's so a good thing you brought that up. So if you scroll a little bit more, you can see the difference between what the board is reading and what the stem of soil sensor on the outside of the case is reading. So a little bit of a difference so you can just get, you know, as accurate as you can with what is inside the soil, so you get more accurate reading of what the temperature of the plant actually is instead of what the board is giving off. That's why I have both of those in there. And if you go to the little cog wheel, I'll see us on there just so we can see what that is for our international folks. Just click the... Oh, here it is. Enable it. Do a little drop down for every minute, so it immediately gives you a reading. I'll take the component and then bam right there. You can see it's 30. Okay, cool. So you can use both at the same time. Yeah, yeah. That's super cool. You're able to do that. And then we've got which one, I think one of the bathroom ones has like the light sensor. There's still some... Going into the move? Yeah. If you go to one of the bathrooms, you can see like the, just what the light sensor is doing. And where is it? There we go. The TSL-25. Okay. 91. And if you go to the graph, you can see how that is all going and so you can use this for, I know this one, it's because that has the length of it. For the date. Yeah. So you can kind of track of where the sun is and you can see a slight movement here as the earth is tilting back and we're getting a little bit less sun. So you can use this to figure out, oh, do I need to move my plan to sit like the south facing window or the west facing window or whatever, how do we need to rearrange things that require some light. Cool. You can filter a date. So a date range if you have a lot of data like figure does. And here's the part where you can like edit your web hooks or add those in there or make your feeds public so you can like have this like on a site or something or. You can download your data as well if you want to move it somewhere else. Yeah. So that's super cool. And that's going to cover on this, I think the guide pretty much. Okay, right. Let's head over to the guide. Too much to this. It's really just the case and then the mount for taking everything together. And this could be more than just the stem of soil sensor, the case and all that could be used for other, you know, other things where you need to monitor vitals of an environment. Everything's in stock, the ESP32 S2, great chip from Expressive, they have good stock and we're able to maintain, you know. Yeah. The reason I love this one over the regular ESP32 V2 is that it. USB is negative on there so you can drag and drop files over. If you need, I think like, I think the other one is dual core, the ESP, the QDPI ESP32 V2, not S2, does have like a dual core processor. I think it has more memory and RAM, but you would require the web uploader to, you know, update your credentials for your SSID or. Yeah, built-in spy flash is great. Yeah, because it's literally just loads like a hard drive. Cool. It's got sensors in stock. It's only eight bucks. Yep. It's great. It's got the hubs and all of the various sensors are in stock. It's amazing. Yep. If when the code or support is added to a percent before the newest hub, it's not passive, it lets you add like two soil sensors onto one. It's a multi-flexer thing. Yeah, we'll do another guide up on that, but for now, I'm using the smaller passive hub. I like it because it's the same size as a lot of the breakouts, the 0.7 inch size, so we're able to fit that inside of the mount a lot more compactly. All right. And then the battery gauge, super useful, like pretty useful for being able to know when you need to change out your battery and yeah, light sensor, anything else you want to add on there, I will make a bigger mouth so you can add even more sensors inside there. All right. And then a couple of the stem of cables. Just make sure that when you're trying to figure out how many cables you need, you include the cable that goes from the Kewpie into the stem of, so I didn't order enough to stem a hub. Yes. The hub didn't come with any cables. I did not know. I'm going to get those. Yeah. Just get your cables. Make sure you get like one more than you think you need. Yeah. Stock up on those cables are in stock. Yep. It's using like the M2.5 millimeter by five, M2.5 by five millimeter long screws to mount everything together. Yeah. Don't use plastic lens. You're going to tap some plastic. Yeah. You're going to mess up the plastic on plastic. Exactly. All right. We're ready to move. Moving on to the diagram. See how everything is connected here. But if you have a different arrangement. Well, not load up. It's just Safari. Ah. There it is. It's a piece of kit. You can see the way that I arrange these, but based on your different sensors or your needs, you can figure out which way to actually connect, like what order to plug these into the hub. So whatever is like the shortest distance, I guess, and then go over to the overhead. You can see how I'm actually, a lot of these cables, you can plan like putting them underneath the board or right here, like between boards so you can have a little bit more of a cleaner coiled layout, exactly how you want, based on your project's needs. It seems like most of these two have the same mounting hole dimensions, so you can move them around. Yeah. You can move them around. Yeah. So the reason these are arranged this way is so that we're not covering up the light sensor. So you always got to keep that in mind. So that's why the SCD-30 is at the bottom. We moved away from it, and we'll talk about, we'll talk it through it, is let's say you want this thing to be secured in this case. I was like, oh, add some tabs here, but as soon as you do that, then you're blocking the clearance for your battery to fit in. Exactly. So then you're looking at something a little bit more complicated. So that's why we didn't add tabs, and this can free float fine, because guess what? The plant's not moving, and you're not shaking and rocking. Exactly. So you really have to think about design features, don't just design tabs and just go and make everything secure. Yeah, I almost did. So that's an example of, it doesn't need to be. I almost added tabs to the size of these, but as you can see, it's just a little groove that press fits in. Yeah. And like I mentioned last week, I got an idea from just one of our containers that we put red in, and it's like the exact same design that helps as a way to seal it a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's go to printing up the case. You're going to need some supports, I think, for the back end. Yeah, the bracket does, because it's double-sided. There's no way to sort of orient it in any way, where it's not going to do the supports. So parts are great these days, though, so. Yeah, yeah. So I have it already arranged, but if it comes in all funky, it's with the screw mounts pointing down. Okay. And then the tabs for the stem of soil sensor, those are also pointing, I mean you can see it in the photo there. The only thing you got to do is for the soil case roof, which is, you know, the separator between the battery and the rest of the components. Oh, it's like a mesh, yeah. Yeah. Zero top and bottom for the layers, and 50% gyroid infill for that, so you can let air flow through. And then supports. The same supports I always talk about, just giving it enough offset so it's not fusing together. Okay. And then the skirts, line count eight, so that everything is sort of, you know, It doesn't look like a skirt. It's holding it. Oh crap, you're right. It's a rim. Can we edit that? Yeah, we can. At a page. Skirts, rims. Whoops. Whoops. Rim. Anyone, anyone call it something else? I can't do this on Safari. I'll do it. This is unusable. By the way, don't use Safari. I think I can do it. There we go. Cool. I helped. I contributed. And that just helps keep all of the pieces together so it doesn't get flung off the build plate. Yeah, there's some, yeah, it especially helps with supports. Because when it starts off, it's just, you know, circles. All right. Anything else here? I think that's it. Yeah. Just the brim to hold everything together and supports. And then the soil case roofing. No top and bottom for that. Okay. Skim through real quick. Is there anyone in this question? No, we're all good. Thumbs up. Now I'm looking at the YouTube questions that have been not related to this, so I'll get back to those. All right. Let's set up some Whippersnapper. How do you install Whippersnapper on the QT Pi board? Yeah, so it's literally drag and drop. It'll do a little web-based wizard, so you'll type in what device you have. Wig. Wizzy wig. Wizzy wig. In this case, we're doing the other two. Yeah, it'll take you right through there to get the firmware that you download. You double click on, for the S2 anyway, double click on the reset button, it'll go into the boot loader for that. Yeah. It goes up as a hard drive. It's a QT Pi boot. You drag and drop that guy over, as soon as it's done copying. Pretty much done. All you got to do is set up your secrets file. That's a little JSON file that just has your Wi-Fi access point and then your password and account for Adafruit IO. Cool. This has happened over a thousand times now, which is cool. All right. And then actually building your dashboard. Dashboard? Yeah. If you scroll down there, it'll just give you through how to actually set all that up. Just to show you adding the components. Well, and this is up to you folks, what sensors you want to add and how soon you want to get a reading. Yeah, which there being so many added, you just did a batch of the 3D ones for all the new ones going in. I have another batch to do. There is always been added. Okay. So that's it in the nutshell, really. Moving on to assembly. We're going to start off with the Stemma soil sensor. We have a nice little case for that really to help you when you are putting inside the soil so it doesn't go all the way in and then it's covering up a lot of the components with a little vent hole too so you can still get some readings through that and those are snap fit together. That's one of the only snap fit parts on there. Other than the top lid. Oh yeah, yeah. And that is, once you plug in the cable that is threaded through the bottom of the main case. Cool. There are mounting tabs to secure the case to the bottom of the case. That is done. There are some little raised chamfer along the side so that the wires don't get kinked so make sure that you place the wire like in between those two and then place the battery right on top and then put it to one side and then put the flooring on there or roof. Sorry, I won't keep calling it flooring. Separator. Separator. Devider. Yeah, divider. Battery divider. And there is one, one of the corners is shorter to allow the cables to pass through. And uh... Do I have the same spot? Yeah. It's just like one. Scroll up. You can see there. It will be like the left side. But if you want you can change that up if the orientation is different than what you need for your project. Okay. And then it's uh... And uh... Moving on to mounting up the cutie pie, that's the same snap fit corners so place it in like at an angle. Mm-hmm. Slightly flex it so it... Exactly. Just go underneath the PCB. Over the PCB. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because do that first. Because otherwise, if the boards aren't on there, you're not able to flex it anymore. Do that first. And then uh... Mount all of the other ones. These are all just M2.5 by 5mm long. You can arrange those just to make sure that the stem of ports are all in the correct orientation to make the wiring as short as you can so you're not coiling so much wire. All right. Can you build this thing? Moving on to the battery gauge. First you got to set up your USB-C connector that you were saying before. Shout out to GeekMom for figuring out how to do a really nice tiny connector. There's uh... Round and bolts. And cymbals on the PCB. You just barely make them out but they're there. Yep. For positive and negative. Yeah. Ground and voltage. And we just clipped off a JST extension cable, measured how long I needed to be. We also carry ones that are pre-tinned and stuff like that so you can use that one. We didn't have as many so I used the extensions. I don't know. I'll use them a lot. And then yeah, wire everything up, connect the battery gauge, and then that's pretty much it. Just place it inside. Make sure all the coils are nicely wired so they're not covering any sensor that needs to see light. Yeah. Right. And that's pretty much it. Place it in there. In your soil. And there you go. I like this translucent. You can kind of make out the LED lights that are on the status LEDs. They can still shine through. Yeah. The translucency was for the light sensor so we get some sort of light coming through. So. It just makes all the lights green. Yeah. Forgot about that. You can put it in a different clear pigment. Like clear. Yeah. And then of course change around your, the color of your case just so you can be able to identify them or write it on there because we have four of these set up and I only know it by memory which is which. And that's pretty much it. Cool. Nice compact. Soil sensor. No. So sensing whippersnapper project so. Yep. Very handy. Was able to see last night. I think it dropped down to like the 50s and then you can see on the dashboard inside of the tent it got down to like 65 which is like I think the lowest that the plants can go on. Which one? Climate? The crystalline. All right. Here's our dashboard. Are we looking at temperature? Yeah. You can see there that it drops that. Right at three. Yeah. 3 am is when it gets like the coldest. Oh you see the gradual. Yeah. Yeah. Like 66, 65. That's like right at the border. So cold. What a jungle plant can handle. A jungle plant. That's humidity. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. Any questions folks? All right. Super cool. Would it work if you extended an ankle to the sensor? It would. That's how I was using these for the longest time. So yeah, that definitely works. The whole thing here was just combined it all into one. Otherwise, that's exactly what I was going to do until Brent was like, no, let's do this way. Which is for me a little bit more less things hanging out, you know, by the plant because I got to miss these guys. Sure. I would have to take them out, move them out of the way so that the boards don't get fried. Yeah, that's a good thing to think about. But you can do that. Yeah. That's what I was doing until the battery gauge was added to Whip or Snapper. That's what I was doing. Because you just plug in the USB battery. And then let's see on the Twitch. Facebook. Just checking all the comments. People want to check out that hipster ghost. All right. Let's check the... It's Milan too. What are you prototyping? Yeah. So, Halloween's among us. We were tasked with the idea of making some updates, some new shapes for these neon like neopixel strips. These are great. They're skinny and they're flexible. And what we've been doing is making different 3D printed signs that have little grooves, little channels. We can just simply press fit the strip into create new shapes. What we're doing differently here though is we have two different strips that are being controlled individually on different pins, different GPIO pins, so that we can separate the animations using circuit Python and the LED animation library. You can do sequential or grouped and synchronized animations. So here you have the chasing LED animation that's doing the ghost outline. And then the eyes are just doing a blink. So that's really cool. So let me show... That's just the demo video. I added some more animations just to kind of showcase the different ways and arrangements that you can do with the LED animation library. So we got the blink. This is doing the LED chase. And then we fade in where we're just animating this segment. This is just pulsing, you know, white. And you have complete control over the colors. You have lots of different stock animations you can play around with. You have the pulse, you have chase, rainbows, sparkle, comet. This is comet right here that's coming back and forth. You have full control over like the tail, the spacing, the speed, the period of how long it dwells for fading. Very, very nice. It's hard to see the colors in the overhead. They look so vivid, but they're washed out here. It looks like real neon, except having that heat and the... Yeah, it looks even worse on this camera. The colors are really washed out. It looks very vivid. You have full control, like I said, over the colors and stuff. Beautiful. So the way you're able to... You've done a guide, Pedro, where you clip away a little bit of the sheathing to reveal the pads. And it's a little particular on how to splice these. Every three pixels is a channel. And you can almost kind of see... And you're splicing just the top of it too. There it is. So you're not going all the way through. There you can just about make out where the strip you're allowed to kind of cut and you're also allowed to splice into those pads. Here, use an example of not having access to it. So you just have to be careful with that. But we'll cover all that in the guide. I'm working on a couple different shapes. So we have the hipster ghost, which could also be a mask, I guess, if you design it in some sort of way. It's a pretty good costume. Right. It's a costume. Maybe you can make a mask out of it. And then we have Phil B, our residential werewolf. I had the idea of making a werewolf with the moon. So the moon will have its own animation and the werewolf will maybe be pulsing or something. But this was a very difficult shape to do because of the very sharp edges. One of the things I realized is you really have to be careful with your bend radius. I think you could cut those and then have like that. You could. I don't want to. It's a lot of work because you have to. Totally is. If you cut it here, guess what? That might not be the cut point. You can't just cut anywhere you want with these strips. You have to be very particular because you will mess up your strips. And I have. And it hurts. It hurts because it takes a while to get a shipment of new ones in. Exactly right. We don't have like 60 left in stock. So everyone's going to buy them up. But look, there's the werewolf. I also have. What other design do I have? A grib reaper, which is a cute little grim reaper. I think I'm going to do Frankenstein and I also have these like vampire lips. Kind of like the Rocky Horror Picture Show lips. But with like vampire teeth. So those are all options. But it's been fun to kind of create these shapes and fusion because you have to think about, like I said, the limitations of these strips. You can't just make any old shape, which I wish you could. So that is what we're prototyping. This will be next week's project, a little late to the game with Halloween. No, that's how it is. It's a Halloween on. Next week. Monday? Yeah, it'll, you'll have three days. Yeah. These take about five hours, six hours, seven hours to print. They're pretty big. It takes a full bed. Yeah, it's a scale. 300 millimeters by 300 millimeters is the max of our bed. So I reduced that down to 280 by 280 millimeters. If you're looking at inches, that's about 10. No, that's 11 inches. So when I'm designing, I always make a big sketch that gives me the idea of the dimensions of my bed. And I just try to keep within those bounds because that's the max bed for these printers. It's 300 by 300 millimeters. So that's the hipster ghost. Fun, fun. And the LED animation library is awesome. All this is already documented in the LED animation. Get a learn guide. Yeah. Then we had a Lars emoji. Andy says make one of Lars. Yeah, it's been challenging to make a shape, to come up with a shape that's going to conform to this limitation of being very bendy and curvy. I like this because it looks like the Snapchat logo with glasses on. Yeah, the Snapchat logo with his arms are a little bit more like this, kind of like he's trying to scare you. This one's more like I want a hug. Yeah. Oh yeah, you're right. I use it every day and it didn't dawn on me. Yeah, and I try to be a little bit different here with the try to be a little bit asymmetrical. Yeah, the waviness on it. Man, it really washes out in the overhead. So much better in real life. It looks better over here. As you can see, these are the previous shapes that we did. It's a lightening ball in the Blinka. And it's a rainbow. Yeah, beautiful colors. Yeah, so let me go to the, not the learn guide, but the neon strip. I type in neon skin. And bam, right there, neon skin. That's the search term. Product ID 4-3-1-0. It's very hard to capture this on camera as you can see even in here. It's difficult to see the vibrance of the colors. But boy, are they vibrant. Yeah, and that's where you can see the cutoff right there on the side of the strip. Yeah, we've used it in a few projects. Pedro, you did a Lego sign where you 3D printed some Lego clips to hold it. And then we also have some Mickey ears. So those are a couple of other ideas and stuff with these neon strips. Very, very fun. Later long. That's a thousand millimeters. Yeah, a thousand millimeters. Oh boy. All right, and that's what we're proud of. Let's move on to shop talk. If you go to the eight of the CAD parts, you'll see we got a lot of commits this week. So last week, the latest one we had was the Metro M4. This week, we have all of these. And what I did was I grabbed all the screenshots from all the boards and threw them in iMovie, Apple's software thing, and it automatically generated. AI generated, no. It's just a gallery of these screenshots. So these are all the different boards that have been added this week to the eight of the CAD parts. Hub repo. We have a slew of accelerometers. We have that new stem of multiplexer. We have a feather OLED. We have a feather, or not a feather, a TFT display. We have the Adafruit Adalogger. Blaster of the past 32U4. The Vimal 7700 light sensor was added. The Bino 055 was added, like the breakout and also the Stemma breakout version of it. Nice. The three LIS 3MDL feather wing accelerometer. And the Adalogger with the RTC. So it has that coin cell thing. And then this high current sensor, GC high current sensor. So check this out. Those are all in the GitHub parts repo. Was this request from Brent? Sure. Everybody requests. Ah, OK. I think it requests from a lot of people on the team, which is great. Nice. Feel free to keep adding your requests. Just one thing. One copy. Just try to segment your requests. So one issue per part helps me out. Because a lot of times, not a lot of times. I've had one where the person was, they submitted like one issue, but with like four parts. Oh, yeah. And I just have to keep going back to that same issue. So don't do that. Just give me one part, one issue. That'll help me out. So shout out to everybody who's been submitting. Submitting, requesting. All right. And that's a shout out. All right. Now the community makes. Every week, we find a part designed from the community. We 3D print it. This week, failed. No, it works after a while. People really like, we get really good comments on like, hey, if Eat-A-Food fails, that means it's OK too. Yeah, yeah. It's fine. Yeah. Some of the times, when I don't include the fail, it's because like the camera didn't capture it. Oh, OK. Well, you try to capture as much as you can. So these are little flying ghosts. They're like finger puppets, but you could also print them big. And I'm scratching my head. Perfect for the kids, because then you can do the. Yeah, ghost on ghost action. That's pretty much it. Goes in dark, very nice sculpture. I think it looks like. Yeah. I don't know how it would make this. Cloth simulation. That's what I was about to say, yeah. In Blender, you can do some cloth simulations. Exactly. You ever seen the movie, The Frightners? Oh, yeah. The VFX and Chill YouTube livestream, they redid that effect in Blender. Wow. Was it Blender? No, the Cinema 4D, and they're using like, you know, all the cool new simulations, cloth simulations to make a very cool effect. Exactly what this looks like. Like they had like a basic shape down, and they just laid the cloth on top, let it drape around, and then froze the timer. The fall off and the gravity and all that stuff. Exactly, yeah. So that's a, I don't know how to do that in Maya, but this is really good. Tutorials are out there, my friend. Yeah. They're all out there. Very cool. With three open source software, like Blender. Yeah, it kind of looks like it's flying. You could put like a little coin cell and a UV LED inside there and give it a little glow. That'll bring with it. Here it is, the Tingiverse post. Oh, there's a couple of different. Narnat posted these up. They're called very little spooky ghosts. Yeah, a couple of different great vendors here. Angles, positions. You can see how it gets its own like graphical treatment. Grace Rindell, mini scenery. Just reading it out loud. So a variety of different ones, right? Different poses. Yeah. I like the flying one, of course, because it looks like it's flying. I was going to put like some string on it and have it float around, but right out of time. Cool. Lots of people are making them, apparently. This is like a whole like kit. Oh, wow. October it really does. I did not click through to that. Oh, if you print your own, it looks like you can get access to all the goodies. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's a good thing to support. I love that house. Yeah. That's very cool. Make a whole complete set. Some makes from the other folks. Getting some really good photos. Put, throw an LED in there underneath. That's really great. Yeah. It's beautiful for doing a little Halloween setup. Or like I said before, finger puppet. Finger puppet. Or put an index finger. Well, actually all of them. Really big one. And like put it next to. Put it outside. Yeah. Cool. All right. We have some more community makes. So let's run through those. These were sent to us. And sometimes I find them. Like on Instagram. Here we have one on Instagram. This is posted by Instagram user. The one and only MIR. Looks like they remade. We have this one here. Tarako. Which is a. Guardian robot character from the video game series. Breath of the Wild. Legend of Zelda. Which finally breath of the wild 2 coming out. Next year. January to this year. March. This is great. It's got a little micro servo. It's a itzy bitzy. I'll have it in the other room. I was gonna grab it. A new pixel ring. Or no just an LED. It's a single. Yeah. It's a real pixel ring. Actually well their build has a new pixel ring. Actually, no, you're right, it is a ring. Yeah, it's in there. There it is. Now the magnet to keep it taut. And yeah, so this is great little build. You build your own Turco. Very good paint job. I was gonna say the weathering looks really good. Yeah. And did he put the magnets on the bottom too so he could shoulder mount him? Mm, hard to tell. Yeah, it's right on the bottom of the, yeah. Hard to see. Yeah. Any hook, very cool. The option is there. Yeah, very cool. Where I'm around. All right, next up we have one posted up on Thingiverse. Wait, I already have tabs. Yeah, this is Unicorn Horn. This was posted up by Salfreak on Thingiverse. They printed the Unicorn Horn in PLA, Green PLA. Cool, and there's a video. You guys saw the time lapse. Very cool. Looks like it's in mid print. All right, next up we have another make of the pumpkin skull. This thing is getting a lot of makes, Pedro, which is funny. Oh, we did that last year. Yeah. No, not a couple years ago. Couple years ago. So IvoGen posted up their makes of it. They printed it out in this translucent orange and then added some of the 10 millimeter LEDs. I think they're 10 millimeter. So yeah, looks great. And I think we have one last one here. This is the LED skull lantern remix that we did. And Evil Resident posted this up on printables.com. It says nice model. I added some hot glue in the eye sockets to diffuse the lights. Let's take a look. Yeah, looks great. I like the hot glue. Looks good. Very cool. And that was posted up again by Evil Resident. Go check that out. Those are this week's community makes. At least the ones that I saw that were sent to me. That's it. All right. It's posted. All right, I think that is it for the show. Yeah, a little bit earlier, which is nice. Give everybody a nice break for lunch. And do we wanna talk about the products that were just added? Which ones?
