 All right, lady. What is this? Hey everybody and welcome to show and tell we've got about 30 minutes of cool people from around the world Staying cozy at home and showing off the electronics and crafting and 3d printing and sewing and soldering that they're working on Yeah, so it's our time to see what people one programming note So lots of folks are at home. We're at the Adafruit office. No one is here now So in New York City, we're doing mass indoors again, but no one's here except for Lady and I and we live together So after everyone left we took our masks off and that's why you're not seeing us with the mask on right now, but I Wanted to say we always do the right thing to keep everyone safe, but that's the only reason you're not seeing us with masks right now So without further ado, this week J is coming by for Digi key. Hey, what you get going on? Hey, I have my finished little robot steampunk owl this time prepares the last time which was like half naked I finally finished the design. I'm gonna turn on really quickly Added a little details to like the head So I like looks around in the gears move and if I press button a Move a bit There was an electronic or a robotic owl from some the thing that I forgot its name Clash of the Titans ugly do yeah, I forgot the name of it though. It's someone I'll know in the chat Yeah, I just released the video today So you can check it out on digikey.com and that way you can see how I designed this and I built this I have the write-up all the STL files of other people wish to give it a shot I love it. I love it. The eyes the gear mesh thing is so cool Has been in a couple of puppet videos. So this is I feel like this is like meat puppet and yours is robot puppet So this is Minerva Minerva couple of things I'm working on that now. I have to learn how to sew I've never used a sewing machine before so this is a new thing for me Different engineering. I feel like your robot is what Minerva looks like underneath Probably yeah Keep coming out the robots. I love these little companion bots you make. Oh, yeah, I have a lot more coming down And this is uh, you know, I always I probably don't need to do disclaimers, but I'm gonna do it Anyways, this is not a paper motion, but Jay has one of Adam Savage's like shop aprons and I really like these So we're gonna contact Adam and see if we can stock these in the Adafruit store You didn't you didn't tell me about this. You there's no affiliate thing There's no nothing like that crazy people out there, but um, how is it working out for you? Really good. It's super good material and I love is having like these pockets up here for things I have like pockets all over like the bottom portions to Have my hammer on my belt now, which is actually really useful I feel like that was made for you I mean, I don't know if he honestly I love it because one thing that helps me get into like the mindset of working on stuff Every day is dressing up a bit, you know, like putting on Or even like my glasses with a monocle just putting those on kind of put me in that mindset of like alright here This is what I'm supposed to be doing right now. Yeah, if not my brain goes everywhere And I'm just like I want to do this I want to do that. What's on the internet right now? Also, I think it stopped you probably from like looking at your phone Oh, no, I have a whole like set up here for my phone They still you're still on the stream and stuff. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks so much Jay and Thanks again for sharing and showing all your work every week. No problem Next up JP. I have to put my owl away JP. All right. Yeah, you know, I think that actually Minerva is what Lars thinks Lars looks like on the outside. I don't There's gonna be some random people tuning in they're gonna be like, what is Everyone Familiar yeah So what I'm up to yeah, I'll tell you what I'm up to I got these Delightful Neo sliders, which are pretty brand spanking new. I think there are first Stem-a-qt device that uses the a t tiny 8x7 As it's a little chip and so that means these are stomach qt I can run them over I squared C using these level stem of qt quick style cables And I can chain them as long as I give them different addresses For that for the bus by cutting some jumpers on the back and I haven't running right now into a feather And they will one thing about them is you'll see that they've got four neopixels under there for some under lighting effects Which is really stylish. I have them all doing this kind of amber thing a darker or brighter amber And whoa, what you'll hear with that one is let me show you what I'm controlling. I have it set up as a MIDI CC controller for this software synthesizer So you'll even see as I make it louder Those little meters are going up and then I can start changing some parameters Of how the sound works cute And it's a a lot of fun to be able to control Software since stuff with real physical controls because there's no beating. I mean just finding your mouse and clicking on a thing zero satisfaction level this High satisfaction level. Yes That's awesome. All right, so that's all code it's pretty simple and What's that? Oh I just I love the plug-in place. It's something Scott wanted and so hopefully Scott's happy to I know You know what these slide pots are always one of the more annoying things to deal with because of they've got this weird Footprint and so they don't fit onto like a breadboard or perma proto usually and then mounting them to something and finding a way to connect them It's all a whole big rigmarole So what I'm hoping is to to create a nice little template for a case that you can make or even a board to just screw it into using nylon Fasteners that we sell 2.5 for or maybe m3 So just connect those up and and make a little board of them. However many you want. All right, and what are you showing this week on? GP's workshop. Is it this? Yeah, I've got two things. I'm still continuing with my Pip boy project little wrist mounted Pip boy mini and so I'll be showing some stuff with that and I'll be Showing this including some of the hardware design stuff and how to how to make it work So and the code behind it so cool tune in and we'll play around with this stuff that's Thursday and One of the things that JP and I were talking about is we might try to do some type of holiday event where we're doing a Tuesday product pick with Lady Eda and JP myself and we just go full-on QVC style QVC style an hour of just Drinking our cappuccinos and chatting about what's on our Best gift I give this to all of my nieces and nephews I'll tell you why I love these so much. They're perfect for anyone in your family And it's like some like weird-ass thing. You're like, what is this like like it's always like a pajama set Yeah, if you need to stab sting this is the knife for you Anyhoo, we'll show that on the show later. That is a dune. Yeah, okay Excellent, okay. All right next up Scott. What you got going on come back to me. It's not working That was the beginning of I believe Queen song Okay, so let's go to paint your dragon Phil B. What you got going on this howdy interactive show and tell do you want a dragon or tape? Dragon or tape tape tape. Okay. Good. Good. Skip that one last week. I'm some retro tech I just wanted to talk. Oh, yeah, like someone on Twitter had these like VHS cassette box themed sneakers And he was in an airport and like somebody started like like gatekeeping like yeah, but do you know about beta? Can we just enjoy old stuff and not like gatekeep um yes the block button works It's too old to gatekeep. I mean who like it's it's gone Right. Yeah, so anyway Yeah, like like a lot of folks, you know, even people who who came after Cassettes were even a thing. You've probably heard of like the VHS versus beta wars and that sort of thing You know, it's just it's just one of those things in business, but even before those there were other formats like Umatic and cart revision was a weird one and I had I have one here Um, this was called um e I a j one which was Tape format this is the first Tape format that was interchangeable from different companies equipment before that if you bought one company's Video equipment the tape only worked with their their machine. Yeah, and so this was in 1969 I believe and it was a black and white only format half-inch tape and it's on a reel It's not in it's not in a you know a cassette like the later format And so if you had this you had to you know, wind it through the machine and Watch it that way, you know, we only watch it once, but it was very enjoyable for that one time Didn't say be kind and rewind at the end or who knows? I don't know, but it's one of those things that like I'd heard of but had never and these aren't rare or anything This these are garbage, you know There's a lot of them, but I just somehow had never encountered one in person to like on one at the thrift store for a buck And it's like what is this and they're like what I think you need to collect all the different forms of of media And then show them all together Like oh, this is a floppy. This is a CF card This is one weirdo tape thing and then like all these attempts to make a proprietary thing and like it's a Galapagos Island of Things it's like oh like I am I am the tape that won't you know play in the other thing and it's just it doesn't get too much Other days for it, too. I mean, that's that's what caught my eye is it just came in this beautiful snap case And it's like I don't even I like this more The case so you can see it you can take you can make pancakes and that could be your pancake lunchbox Pancake transport that's a great Yeah, but anyway just one of those weird bits of You know analog video history that But I show all right. Well, thank you so much. We'll be and for those who don't know Philby always inspires me to Share some retro tech and because I've gotten a little tiny bit more time I hope to be taking some photos of some old things and putting them up online and more So thank you Philby for making me want to show you cool stuff, too You wouldn't you wouldn't download a car would you it's like one of those you wouldn't you wouldn't like copy over Single school and log black and white tape. Would you you wouldn't spool someone? All right, thanks. Okay. All right, we're gonna go back to it weird. Yeah. Hi, Dan Scott, I think it's working. Okay. Dark Scott Yeah, I'm in the dark cuz I'm sitting in front of Neopixels so we've got Neopixels strips on the lights here and I wanted to show off that I've got Editing the code running over blue Bluetooth over BLE So I'm sitting in a chair. I am not connected to it. I did have to fix it earlier But what I can do here is if I go into the editor and I want to make it right now. They're white. I want to make them Christmas themed I can edit it Green red and green Zero zero. Okay. Do it and then hit save and run and It flips me there. Oh see the serial output, but then the lights are red and green now Wow, and somehow setting the delay to zero causes everything to stop working So that looks great This is in life person testing and folks can go to code dot circuit python.org and play around and do stuff like this themselves Yeah, totally. It only works in Chrome on certain devices But we're obviously early days and still trying to fix issues if you have them But it's pretty magical when it does work and people should try it It's pretty neat. Yeah, this is a little glimpse of the future I think for how a lot of folks will be sending data to devices and then are you gonna be doing a deep dive this week? Yeah, I should say for Android people. This is This works on Android phones usually And that's our intent. So if you're on Android, this is what we're hoping will work for you And then yeah for a deep dive We were just talking and I think what I'm gonna do is work on the learn guide for the raspberry pi circuit python Cool, and what board were you using someone wanted to know for this project? This is a feather nrf 52 840 cool. All right. Thank you so much Scott. Thank you And we're going to wrap up with Liz and cats Liz. How's it going? Good The fuzz pedal working. I didn't actually have a issues with PCB. I just had the wrong value pot So just to quickly show So it's nice and fuzzy But the other thing I start working on is slow cap touch MIDI Controller with a circuit playground. So I've got it hooked up via raspberry pi to the robot dial phone and Sometimes needs to be reset. Oh So got some touch just Just quick little Yeah, it's a wonderland over at this. That's a cool corner. You should totally stream from that corner It's like super fun. Yeah, the cat has a little shelf behind you to come in and like Her way up I think it's more like Liz has a little shelf and the cat runs. Sorry that place And if you get you also We have a new project from you and none Pedro is cool menorah Yes, yeah, but other people do, you know, we'll be showing that tonight on ask an engineer Excellent. Yeah. All right, Liz. Well, so good to see you can't wait to see you and just a few weeks in meat space as they say And Thank you again, this, you know, it's holiday season. It's thankful season We're so grateful that you show and show your stuff here on show and tell and and more. So, thank you I'm thankful for working with you folks and It's all fun. Okay. All right. Well, that's our show until tonight everybody Thanks for coming by and making this the best, you know, 20 30 minutes of our week every single week We'll be here next week. Maybe we'll see who's doing the show until but there'll be a show until no matter what next week And ask an engineer and all the other things you can expect. Don't forget thursday is JP's workshop friday goodbye with scott and then Next week. That's the other day. It is probably gonna be on saturday night and then We have JP's product pick of the week on tuesdays and 3d hangouts On wednesdays. So thank you so much everybody and once again Whatever you celebrate and whatever you're doing We just wanted to say thank you for being part of this Adventure with the aid of fruit folks See you all in about 10 minutes Go get some hot chocolate
