 Yeah, what is this everybody and welcome to show and tell it's me lady Ada your host along with mr. Lady Ada I'm camera control, but not about us. You want to see people from the community. What are they soldering? What are they 3d printing? What are they coding? What are they synthesizing? We're gonna find out I'm gonna check in with a bunch of people some Adafruiters and as well as sneak peeks of some Adafruit projects Anybody else who comes by anyone is welcome. We're on stream yard check out discord for the link Yeah, I'll use a camera and your lovely self. Let's kick it off with no a what are you printing up this week? Hi, so yeah this week I have some prints that I didn't 3d print myself So these are some clear resin prints that I got made by PCB way and they have a huge range of different materials You can choose from and this is a 3d printed case that uses the utr-8100 resin And it has this this very nice feature called the spray varnish Options so they actually post-processed for you. They sand it down and they add spray varnish to it So it's super crystal clear So this is a two-piece case It has a feather TFT and the feather M4 and we made like a little etch a sketch toy a couple years ago now And I was surprised that the the snap fit Geometry is like the exact same and the standoffs are all the same So if you have something that you fdm 3d prints and you want to get it made in this very nice clear resin You don't have to worry about like redesigning it. So it's really nice. So that's that piece I also went ahead and got the The infamous pipe portal floppy usb thumb drive Some type of a word you get for something right? Yeah, so it's really nice So let's say you kind of design and iterate on your fdm 3d printer at home And then you want to get a really nice quality print you can send it off. So you don't have to worry about You know messing around with the goo and then having to spray varnish it yourself It's also they also have an option to do custom Pantone color. So this is our little adobot. That's a Little mini fig like a Lego compatible mini fig and I added the the Pantone like kind of bluish color so you get this nice kind of tint kind of gummy looking adobot and It's snap fits really nice. So it's like the same geometry Again, I didn't really have to modify the design and it came the the resolution comes out really really nice So you can see all the tray Little antenna there on adobot. Wow, that is very we've come a long way clear 3d printing I remember when we couldn't do stuff like this. Yeah, well you could it's like it would have lots of kind of Dents and things from all this material that you would have to remove yourself So it's nice. I don't have to deal with that and then the last thing I'll share is this print in place Crick oh Hold on. I have broken narratives So this is a print in place Crank for the our little rotary encoder here. Yeah, so it has two joints You got a little hinge here and then the little paddle here the little handle also rotates So I put together a learn guide that talks about some of the design considerations So, you know, having the right clearances for the for these type of Mechanisms is something to keep a mind But yeah, and then last week, of course, I shared the the key caps So you can have your own clear key caps if you want to design different shapes and stuff like that You can definitely have them done in this the spray varnish option so Having lots of fun getting different prints Tested out in this new material. So Yeah, check out the learn guide and yeah have at it. It's a it's a nice option for folks. Yeah on the The pre-show I was showing this off. So I'll just do this real quick so folks can see this is the yes Yeah, this is the we just took photos if you go to the Adafruit flicker like the clear aesthetic I don't know for for whatever reason It's hitting social media again. Like it kind of comes in cycles and I was like, oh my god a clear controller But I have this TV for our kid as she gets older So when she plays video games, you can see inside of this But the you know the funny part about some of the stuff is like this is made for prisons Or for children, you know same and so you could see the inside stuff, but I think that's one of the things that's changing with How people have a relationship with technology. They're like everything is kind of hidden away So maybe we can start looking at the innards of it. Yeah, it's definitely coming back I noticed the the new the newer droids that you can purchase at like the Disney parks They are now coming in that clear so you can like see all the electronics in it. So that's kind of You don't see that much in the newer gadgets, but yeah, I think like iPhones and like Android phones I think you you really couldn't do anything clear and like probably still not for a while It's like, you know milled out of aluminum or whatever metal and so I think people miss seeing how some of these things work even if it's just like You're not gonna maybe take it apart, but maybe this is the first step to doing yeah I'm seeing more game boys like folks are definitely getting a game boys and clear. Yes. All right. Thanks so much. Oh Thanks, folks. All right. Next up. We're gonna go to make Melissa what you got going on Okay, so I have this there that I had shown off a couple weeks ago And I have since written a guide and I have updated like the voice and stuff All right, and I just bought my desk. So I hope I didn't break it, but I'm gonna go ahead and try it It's not sentient yet. So it's not no upset about it Tell me a joke tell me a joke Oh here we go What a proper little bear Oh Why did it smear to right because it's a salad dressing that's pretty good one Thank you Let's see what it says to that It's not responding to me shy. It's a shy bear. Yeah That's right because I have to squeeze the foot. Yeah each one. That's that's why it's not responding. So this is chat GPT voice to text and then text of voice and then you were able to have some non-robotic sounding voices because you can choose Yeah, oh, that's a good. Yeah, press the foot and ask are you a real bear? I think I might have employed it. Oh Are you a real bear? I think I might have applied to the audio or something it's just What happened is when I went to go get on show and tell them the battery that it normally have in it was dead So I just have like this other battery pack of stuff kind of Some all right Well, we're gonna continue to build on this project So I'm sure you're gonna come back and and show more of it the idea that we're trying to get out there is like these fictional generation Systems at GPT Can be fun because you could do text-to-speech. You could do things. It'll make up stories. It'll tell jokes Probably not a good thing to rule your life by but probably good for a toy like this So and you can control it you were putting everything is open source So you can at least see what's going on behind the scenes and you can control if it has a microphone or not Yeah, all right. Well, thank you so much. What's the end bear friend? Yeah All right, and What you got going on this week? Well, you were showing the cases with no a I ordered Case from the same company, but I got the semi-translucent. Oh, yeah Does look good when you put LEDs because you could diffuse What's going on? Yeah, that's cool. Definitely I put like a strip down and below the display and then it diffused it nicely. So yeah I've got a zip drive Back there behind me and it's also kind of like a blue semi-translucent Effect well, um, I was showing off animated gifts earlier, especially on my Really blown up. Yeah, I'll change the gift. There we go Nope, that's still bright. Um on the floppy case pie portal and I promised a guide and finally I have a guide So I have the pie portal showing animated gifts and I've got a feather tft display And I've got that with a little gift playing Space Invaders. So, you know, it's not the game running. It's an animated. Yeah, that's cute It's it's a lot of fun And I'm there's a lot of interest from people that say I'd like to incorporate animated gifts into their projects be it, you know, maybe a Star Trek Tricorder that has a display that's not just flashing lights. It also has something moving and displaying something and stuff so That guide is now out. You can go to learn dot adafruit.com and You can program from circuit Python. Not just Arduino or there's a library for Arduino, but circuit Python allows for some things that You might want to do in your projects and it's fairly easy to get going Very cool I think sometimes too the animated gift stuff is good for prototypes before you finish your Interface you can see, you know how to look and you know, just do some quick stuff and then for props, of course, it's fantastic Yeah, I mean if somebody's building like a prototype for a startup or a escape room or whatever You can actually show something Moving and acting like it will be until you finally code the interactive part. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks so much All right breaking news or bear news, I guess bearing news The bear did talk and the bear said I'm sorry But I can't be a real bear as I am a talking teddy bear Which is a toy designed to look like a bear my purpose is to assist you by answering your questions exactly what Alright JP Let's travel through the retro past or retro future for space It's such a space ashtray. So I've been working with this Gorgeous device that you discovered and shared with me the computer perfection And part of the process has been to get the Metro m7 running as a synthesizer in circuit Python and I was working with Jepler and Todd bot and we've now got it Playing 12 tones simultaneously. So it's synthesizing Sort of a single cycle waveform. I've got a sine wave and a sawtooth that it'll work with and for this demo, I'm not yet using any of the electronics of the Computer perfection to control things. That's my goal But for now, I've got the m7 and a speaker in there and I'm just gonna Tell it to start playing and you'll hear it playing for sure It's dizzy is this was also a buck Rogers prompt. Yes a medical name So hopefully you can hear that it's doing 12 tones at once It's actually octaves of three-note chords They're slightly randomized and I can make it a whole lot more annoying and And louder if I change the waveform to be a sawtooth just because it's got a lot more harmonics than a sine wave Yeah photos of this I have one in the manual and everything I can't quite figure out the game that you're Couldn't figure it out. It's horrible. Yeah Game Here we go. It's a weird name Yeah, it's like a Phantom of the opera situation So my goal with it will be Shut the thing up will be to trigger sounds from or tones from the these are ten Buttons in the in the circuit underneath and then there are a number of multi-position switches and there's LED so I'd like to use the switches to Make options such as which waveform I'm using or something like that So it's gonna be kind of a cool little sort of ambient sound machine that just looks Gorgeous, what do you what do you think this genre is called because chiptunes were like you would mod a Game Boy and like do some things Circuit bending you did so but this is something different It's using like really advanced microcontrollers with scripting languages that have yeah support and music But you could do with it, but it's using these really neat weird enclosures that you really don't ever see anymore I don't know. Yeah, it's the same thing. We need to come up with names. We'll look for suggestions Yeah, if anyone has any ideas in the chat because it would be cool because you know There's there's events that are starting to happen again It would be neat to have like a band and it's all of this like some of these like old. Yeah things like Chiptunes and circuit bending. I think had its had its day and events and more But now there's just like a lot of people modding these things and you can just do so much more So yeah, because you know, it's all it's a really high quality digital synthesis. So it's not like low 8-bit like yeah That's the main difference. You can actually do music music nothing wrong with with circuit bending, but like you have The capability of making songs. Yeah, for sure I think this one will be kind of a retro futuristic drone digital drones and Yeah, let it ambient ambient itself Well, if anyone has any ideas for what this is Tell us Can't be circuit bending. It's something like you're adding new stuff into old stuff like PC modders in case You know that that was something too, but this is a little different. I don't know what it is Okay, I think you're gonna be showing this off on your show. Yeah, we'll be playing with this tomorrow on the show So come on by it for some retro futuristic fun. Yeah, if you have time grab the screenshots from the From Buck Rogers. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah show those off. Okay, and I don't think they could release Buck Rogers I was watching like a small clip of it. It's like it's like a HR space disaster Oh, no, I watched it just when it was up. I think live as a kid. I don't think I've seen it since so I can't imagine Yeah, it's the planet of women Yeah, the theme is just constantly is like I'm just a guy from like the ninth I'm just a smooth operator. Yeah Like one like every episode like and then they run the hot guy. Anyways, okay Yeah, all right, well, thanks, Harry All right Okay, DJ Devon what you got going on? Oh, there we go Synthwave looking thing. Oh, that's cool. No, this is this is just LEDs. This is like, yeah Rain. Oh, I call it bleeding rainbow. This is a house of pancakes and right This is a custom board that I designed my first LED board called rainbow. Yeah, I made a LED matrix Oh bleeding rain. I just saw the logo. This is that's cool, right? I Need to make a song with it. Well, I've already done that I Have a reading rainbow remix So that was I've already put that out on social media So that music that goes along with that demo is my music. Oh, cool Well, and it's open source basically the reading rainbow thing is like whatever the open license Thing like that was okay to do But as I and I'm not selling it so that's yeah, I'll get I think you this is fine It's promoting reading in some way and bleeding Bleeding with rainbows. Yes, and then below that these are the IO. Good Lord IS FL 3741 13 by 9 matrices and I got them running sequentially chained together which Previews I guess I'm not gonna say it's not possible, but there was no example for it So this is an example. I submitted the example to the circuit python Repo as a PR and that should be probably Gonna go ahead and I don't know what you call it accepted And the ultimate goal is to get this as just a large like Matrix for instead of like a seven segment display or an alphanumeric backpack kind of thing I'd like to get this going as four chained as one display So that's the goal and this is actually progress Outstanding and then if you remember, can you post a link of the song bleeding rainbow in the in the discord? My remix or the original no the remix. No reading rainbow. No, the remix Yeah, okay, I can do that. All right. Thanks. That's cool. All right Be like the the blood donor like their next like way to do a blood drive apparently There's a Snoopy shirt that everyone likes when they give blood like it's a big deal But this could be bleeding rainbow when you give blood you get a you give it. Yeah All right, that's our show until everybody we we're gonna be showing off some cool stuff on we sit We're saving it for asking engineer. We have these retro baseball light cards for phone freaking from the 70s and then we also have I think the only and The first IntelliQ demo using an iPad. Yeah, so we're gonna do that on ask an engineer because we want We've got hot off the press Circuit Python Into an HDMI monitor. Yeah, we got that. So we're gonna be showing that in just a few minutes And thanks so much for coming by everyone. We'll see everybody next week Thanks so much for making this the best most fun half an hour every single week See everybody on asking engineer in just a few minutes. Bye. Bye
