 All right, lady. What is this? Hey everybody and we're going to show and tell it to me lady Ada would be Mr. Lady Ada your original show and tell hosts Thanks to Liz and Melissa and JP and whoever else. I can't move on my head Who has a chair tell us a couple weeks? We'll be doing the next few weeks and then now we'll cycle back again So everyone gets a chance Right now for the next 25 ish minutes when I check in with folks from around the maker community What are you 3d printing coding hacking? Roboting and sewing whatever we want to see it crafting Come on by we're in discord all our welcome We're gonna start off with Jay and his shoulder bot. Jay. What's going on? Hey, hey? Hey, I came to show off my newest little wearable robots. I've named them digit And it's a new wearable robot which for the first time in my design life doesn't need a strap Haha, no strap. It's cool. Oh, yeah, it's still prototype So it still has some issues here and there which I'm trying to work out now But it's using a different Sorry, it's been a day for me. It's using it already. We know BLE since to With the excited rum or to actually get the head motion correct So when I'm wearing it always look forward. So if I like turn this way the head will start. Oh That's nice. That's a good idea Yeah, that way I can always kind of make it look good in pictures There's always something to them bothering me with my work is when I do my robot to kind of like lean too much And when people take a picture of it later, I notice it and I'm like, it looks weird. Yeah So I finally fixed two problems. I fixed the lean problem and I fixed the other problem with the go-pro's actually don't need you know those two This thing works pretty well right now. I'm working on the upgrade now that I can document it and like of course show the internet This is like the new the new one. I'm slowly working on now Yeah, that's why I've been like working on this this past month has been just this Does this robot have a name or species name? I called them digit digits That works nice RJ will keep RJ digit keep coming back with progress. It's a cute robot It's very good. Good work. I love the lantern is making robot friends not robot. Oh, my digit. All right Next up here's a friend of the show who we actually know and you all might know Hey from a couple things circuit sculptures, but Particle speaking we're wearing particle You have a I know a lot of people at particle we all go way back and you have a new product Launch and they said come on by the show and tell us you have M.t stuff right sweet. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, all right. I'm gonna switch my cameras here So as you know, most of our particles cellular based products used This is like the OG of our cellular devices But what we saw was you know, we have been using new blocks modules for cellular devices, but When we switched over to cocktail the cocktail modules are pretty big And so we had to put them on a m.2 carrier board And so this is our latest m series m can stand for many things lupin intended multi radio Multi-use and so this particular series is multi radio in a way where it has redundant connection between cellular and Wi-Fi, but it also has built-in GNSS receiver and Bluetooth and so it's like a full-featured multi radio Song that is, you know, very easy to use and so in addition to using a M.2 series now, you know, this is not very easy to prototype because I'm really breadboard it So and we can't put it on a feather form factor. So what could we do? So we came up with this idea where we designed a product called new one Which is basically a carrier board for the M series and so it breaks it out into the bricks out all the GPIOs into Just you know female headers has swd connector a Stem or quick connector over here a three pin battery so that you can monitor the temperature of the battery USB USB PD Actually, not just USB C. And so we are pretty excited Because this will become our next generation Debted it's not breadboard friendly, but it's very Prototype friendly and so we have a series of expansion cards that we have been designing in a protocol it's industrial cards And so we're hoping that this allows people to go from, you know, just developing prototypes to actually creating products Just a side note. I created this little Sensitive carrier board This is a pegboard friendly so I can mount this the entire thing on a pegboard side, you know, free up some space We also created this little adapter plate, you know This is made out of just a PCB, but very simple so that you can plug in your M series m song and the cool thing is then you can plug this into our old Monitor one enclosure, which is you know fully IP67 rated has, you know, big chunky RF connectors signal connectors and so by just you know developing products on or prototyping on the new Take it into mass production fairly easily by just using the adapter We also have a M series breakout board which actually uses an air through ethernet wing To provide in an even additional Redentancy so you know if the ethernet fails in fallbacks and Wi-Fi the pulse back Wi-Fi Feels it can go on to cellular does Maintaining connectivity and harsh conditions. I don't have a sample, but There's also going to be an M 6 3 5 which is a Ntn which is like based on satellite. And so that's our first foray into satellite connectivity Allowing people to then even have Non-terrestrial networks in addition to having LTE Cat and one or LTE cat one or 2g 3g fallback or going further and using Satellite so pretty excited how what people will do with Satellite communications. Yeah, that's cool. Can you can you flip the others the M module over? Is there something on the other side or is it flat? Okay. So, yeah, so we have a So we have the actual cocktail model on the top and on the back is the arm cortex and 33 real tech chip set Which is an RTL 8722 That's a DSOC and so that's okay. Okay. I think that's actually like it's like a cocktail like whatever whatever. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay cool. I was like, wow, how did you get it like so like under one 10 and it's like oh, there's two 10s Okay And it comes in but it's and so you don't have to have any additional Sims, I love that M2 just made me think, you know, I should really make a little m2. Yeah, we've been waiting We're like well when one will there be Stuff to make accessories for yeah What are the modules that we want to use? So this is a good timing Is this compatible with the spark fun m2 pinout or is this a different m2 pinout? That's a Proprietary particle, you know a spark from the game afterwards. We were hoping maybe they could have reached out and we could have But that never like oh you just like yeah, I mean like I don't care Yeah, I want to I think I had it like I put up something on github with like here's the empty stuff that I started and then like You know coveted and chip-sharded and stuff like that happen But just like, you know stemma and quick and all that maybe when we take a look at it We'll try to do our best to make it work with everything in some ways Maybe we'll drop you a note when we're ready to do some designs Absolutely, and I would love right now working on again a little site Projects I made this little gadget that purchase weather data and uses a it approach Temperature humidity sensor, but I want to make this version with the m.2 module. Yeah, but So you can easily add displays to the expansion cards So most of the displays that you have are compatible with the particle ecosystem I imagine having a touch display on the top that is compatible with you know, you on and now you're having So they're connected display right up. Well, keep coming back each week You can come by with some circuit displays come by with some new particle stuff always good to see you And thanks for sharing online all of your creations a lot of people are big fans of yours. Thank you. Thank you All right, congratulations on the new part say hi to Zach and Artie for us Okay, let's go to we'll go to Melissa then Liz and then we're gonna go to Sun and Moon and Mark and then DJ Devon nanographs. We got a lot of folks. Okay, but you won't give up So let's all speed around so we can get everybody Melissa what you got going on? Hi, I have it's something I kind of built over the weekend here. It's a pi 1541 it's use this a rat 3 pi 3 a plus in here and It's running Some code on here. That's a bare metal. So it actually boots pretty quickly And I just wanted to show it up on this cover of 64 here So I can plug into you the Sports here. I'm gonna go Look up micro usd cable May it there just brightness just doesn't show on the camera Nice Okay, run Okay, first of all what you have to do is depending what you want on here You have to go ahead and select it and then it'll load it up in here We're gonna just type load And so it's it actually runs the 1541 Diss drive firmware on here, so it's like 100% compatible as opposed to like the SD 2 IEC Which did some like like guessing But some of them 100% compatible, but this will actually bring code Takes a moment here because it's downloading on run it It all it because it's running the actual firmware. It runs the same speed and everything All right, all right, thanks And then it goes in and loads it right off of there, whatever 64 back to life. Yeah, okay. Well in order to speed through people. I'm gonna Yeah, no, I mean it was it was a remember it would take a long time to load stuff on the comic 64 Yeah, all right, we will come back to you at the end if you are running something. All right Thank you To Liz let's read what's going on this week. Hey, so I start working on a project with the memento Where it's going to take a photo send it up to open AI have open AI describe the image and then send it back so I can do a demo where I take a photo of this wonderful triceratops and You can see there Okay sending to open AI So it saves the image. Yes, and then this is with memento the camera. Yes The open source camera takes this is a different approach for folks pay close attention So you're taking a picture with the camera and then it's sending the image and it's saying describe it. Yes So they just spit back for those triceratops a small yellow toy triceratops dinosaur positioned on a flat surface So I've been really impressed with how The prompts have been I'll minimize Is that what it was that's exactly what it was right there. Oh wait, we'll try something different Maybe the eight right. What is it that colorful eight next year? Yeah, this is like a like us Like an anxiety thing, but let me see Take a photo, okay, and then I'll bring back up Okay colorful circular board game overlay of numbered spaces and instruction squares laid out on a flat surface And then I did another one earlier, which was I'd taken just as a test a pin That's on my bag and it sent back on oval shaped pin with an illustration featuring iconic symbols of Boston including a skyline silhouette All set against the background blending night and sunset Shades the word Boston is probably displayed on the bottom pin is resting on this episode or so it can read which is Impressive. Yeah, and then this is the prompt I'm using please describe was in this image the description should be in style of alt text used on social media sites like Mastodon avoid talking about the quality of the image avoid talking about the background of the image only ascribe the main subject So I know a lot of people like to kind of dunk on open air But if you really like tailor your prompts you can get like really good results. So yeah This is a remake also by the way of a project by Matt Richardson and his project 12 years ago used Mechanical Turk so it had people who you know, you would be paying 50 cents Which you know is kind of a weird thing Yeah, send it to Amazon and they would distribute the task and then like a few minutes later You get it, but it's amazing that you could do it all with open AI Instantaneously so, you know with all this stuff as always there's like extremist opinions Like it's gonna take over and kill us all and it stole every artist or and then there's AI for you took a picture of something You want to take a picture of you're saying describe it and it's bringing you back alt text Which could be used for vision impairment. It could be used for text to speech. It's also it's your data You know, it's being sent there and it's very specific and it's running on an open source camera And the only thing you're sending is the photo. There's no other metadata on it because it doesn't have a GPS in it. So this is a really good use sometimes, you know, it's hard to Any tool could be used for bad, but this is one of the I think fun uses and we're documenting on we'll have a guide Yes, it's super cool. Yeah, we have a couple other ideas of like prompts that you could use Yeah, like anomaly detection Because we were talking about how you know that I saw a project where somebody had a camera pointed their basement And they just asked like they would upload the image every 20 minutes and say hey You know open AI is there any this is a picture of my basement Is there anything weird going on in my basement and it you know, they faked in some photos of it like a Flooded basement and like it would detect to be like yeah, your basement's flooded So instead of having these complicated visual recognitions that we're trying to like identify things You just kind of use the generic identification code of chat you PT is kind of interesting. Yeah, I would feel excited about it Great kind of freaky. Yeah, that's really cool project. Thank you. Thanks Liz. Okay. All right. Next up We're gonna go to Sun and Moon and then we'll go to Mark and then DJ Devon take it away Hey guys, how's it going? So I wanted to talk about the fashion show usually I come in and I show some hardware that I made I did actually have some hardware but in the interest of speedrun Yeah, I am gonna focus on just talking about the fashion show because you guys did want to see yeah Kind of what happened you asked me to come back and talk about it. Yeah, so I'm gonna share my screen and Let me know if you guys can see that It has arrived So this is just my Instagram I wanted to start out with introducing some of the designers that we had on the show I was obviously one of them So I'm gonna post a link to my Instagram and you could check out. Yeah all the amazing designs that I like The other person that we had and I was honored to be you know on the same stage as this person Janet Hansen if you don't know she's made LED wearable coats for people like Daft Punk Brittany Spears Katie Perry just makes some amazing really high quality stuff and like looking at the stitching and she stitches it all by hand With so many pixels on an outfit. She also makes this really cool art that was up on the walls on display So she's an awesome artist. Definitely check her out The third designer we had was in lighten if you're not familiar they work closely with make fashion and in lighten has their own brand of LED strips that are custom made for LED wearables and they've got like a custom controller and custom batteries They actually sent me one of their batteries that are laser etched and they used Open AI or chat GPT-4 to generate because they couldn't find my logo because I don't have one So they just used AI to generate that's cool a sun and moon That's gonna go logo with PCB traces. I love it I was ecstatic when I saw that and they laser etched it into a backlit battery. So that's that's actually the battery pack Nice, you can put custom logo that that yeah, they make some amazing stuff I was gonna show there's a video. I'm not gonna play the whole thing, but I can post Yeah, I'll post the link there But real quick. I did want to show like a couple pictures I don't know if it's sharing. I don't see I only see the video screen the YouTube screen. So my Present again share screen Window, oh, it's by window. I want entire screen apologies there All right, can you guys see that now? Yeah So this is like an LED parasol that I made for a client and one of the chain gem outfits Another chain gem outfit with the poi that I did show on a previous show and tell And those are open-source poi and we're gonna be posting the hardware for that shortly more chain gems with the infinity goggles Infinity mirror goggles. Oh, yeah top This is a staff that I also talked about in a previous show and tell that's also open source It does POV if you're spinning it, but you can't really tell when you know, they're still images This is like my favorite thing. I've ever made it was a full spandex body suit covered in LED pixels And it's just an amazing. Yeah, I really like this suit More this was the hooded vest that I had also shown on Yeah, you guys have seen that happen. Yeah, yeah, and then parasol again more chain gems I I bought a sewing machine just for this event and tried like making a scarf for the first time So that was like literally the first scarf that I'd ever like fabric project really that I had done There's another version of the scarf there that you can see. Oh cool And then these these models like I had zero budget So this is like my friend from high school and like his friend So these people went to our high school Like the previous model I like messages girl on Instagram the day before and was like, hey, do you want to be in my show? And she was like, yeah, let's do it So really awesome. Okay. I think that's it. Fantastic great photos, too It's like a very advanced burning man and cyberpunk and like you could tell that the fat the fashion and the tech are Finally able to meet it's not just clunky. It's yeah, like there's a lot of the stuff It's like that looks good to wear anytime. Yeah, yeah, we're definitely we're definitely getting to this cyberpunk future We're trying to get with our brand away from just festival and burning man looks and create things that you could wear to You know black tie events. Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna work out, but that's what I'm trying to accomplish here Outstanding. Okay. All right. Thank you so much stuff Feel free to keep coming by and you know pick one and come by and show parts of it or whatever Yeah, I had stuff to show I'll do it next week. Yeah We're doing this for 15 years Come on by and thanks because you know getting the word out and showing that other people can come along You know the more LED in electronic fashion the more LED in electronic fashion you get It helps push the the medium quite a bit. So thank you so much for coming by it's very nice. Thank you Yeah, good stuff. Okay. All right. We're gonna go to mark the DJ Devon and nanographs We can keep it to a couple minutes each. We're gonna get to everybody Take it away mark Hello So no fancy LEDs for me this week, but I had seen a lot of the releases on the USB Head human interface devices that have been coming out in circuit Python And around the same time I've got a VR helmet and started playing with Microsoft Flight Sim Net which is what you're seeing on the upper left And then I was looking up because people have these super fancy rigs that cost Thousands and thousands of dollars Getting close to actual airplanes So I Wanted to see it's like I can buy a replica. This is one of two screens of a G1000 glass cockpit But it was like almost a thousand dollars to purchase this and I was like well I can start doing this for a lot cheaper and specifically this button in the lower right hand corner Which is used to set your flight plan, which I can briefly so if I bring up the flight plan I Was able to find these dual concentric rotary encoders So it's actually two rings the bottom one and the top which simulates. I Can't actually zoom in closer, but similar simulates the two rings on the actual control and then I found there is actually open source Open source Software called Moby flight, which is specifically meant to map Devices whether they're joysticks or input or output Into various flight sims Microsoft Flight Sim XM So I was able to then create a device descriptor just for a very simple joystick This is actually if you turn it one direction Yeah, a one button press the other direction is a different button press and Then the top actually presses in two so then you can start programming your actual flight plan a lot easier than if you were Trying to just move this with the mouse and It doesn't cost eight hundred dollars Nice, please put this up on the playground. This is I'd love I'd love to hear about this because I know people love making interfaces for flight sims And yeah, you can go like pretty expensive, but some people just want to make their own thing Exactly, and that's how I I got into it Moby flight actually has some Arduino compatible Interfaces, but it's all serial communication. So I'm like there's no way that yeah Yeah, I like that. This is just like HAD circuit Python really easy. No ID required Yeah, super super easy, and it's all my list to write up on playground I just haven't had the time and I was trying to write it up and actually broke play ground. I'm sorry No, it's it's open beta. So please continue to break it. That's how we fix it And then and then let us know support was very fast and they got back to me right away And I don't know what I did, but it's working again for me Good work. All right. Well, thanks so much. This is awesome. You play ground and do hard There's a lot of making you know accessories for whatever virtual or sim They were doing yours like a trucking one and this is cool to see this for airplanes Yeah, pretty cool and circuit Python super quick to edit it in so Very cool All right We're gonna go to DJ Devon and then nanograph is good Can keep it to two and a half minutes each we can get both of you in take it away Yes, please somebody to send mark a I broke the playground Little button like he does for as seen on Yeah So this one is Display that I've been working on these are display adapter boards focus this one is using a feather and I Through I would like to thank Jepler for Uh, how do I put this a Little write-up that he did in git on how to share a spy bus and there are tutorials and there are line Learnguides about how to do it, but he just made it sound so so practically easy to implement And so I was able to implement spy bus sharing on a cutie pie so that it shares a touch controller touch display and SD card and Takes up every every pin, you know, it normally they would take up like nine nine nine pins but this only takes up three and I don't have a display code running on there, but I assure you it works just like that one so that's just an update of my Progress with the display code and that's all I have to share. Oh, yeah there I also I'm also working on making a 3d case for the memento. Okay, and then I found these tiny little Flip up lids. Oh For a lens protector because the memento does not have a lens protector So with 3d printing should be able to stick that right on Have a have a lens cover. All right That was just one thing I noticed about the memento is there's no like lens guard. Yeah This is an enclosure. Yeah, we wanted folks to also experiment with enclosures and all that, you know It's building your own camera. So yeah, share that to come back show it off. I will Design a memento Concluser, thank you. All right. Thanks. See you next week. Alright, nanographs play us out. Take it away Yeah Let me just get the screen share going here if you want to show that so we're in front of a Joel 6400 right now in 1980s SCM Few weeks ago not last week before we did some a lot of streaming we put some diatoms in the microscope It was back when we had the focused ion beam and we like cut the diatoms open So show one more a diatom whole picture so we really you know just went in there and sliced away at it And we also found one spiky boy We got the spiky ones So I'll show you what we got in the microscope right now. We have an AMG 8833. This was something that we cut open when it was inside of the So we're looking at the thermal. So this is an infrared Thermal camera sensor. It's got yeah before basically four pixels eight by eight. Oh eight by eight Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool and you can see Yeah, yeah, so like each one of these arrays of like six paddles makes up one pixel and these paddles are just They just have a bunch of wires running through them. So what we did in the fib is we put this rectangular hole in it Let me just move the stage a little bit here Kind of sign it up a little bit so you put this rectangular hole in it So you can get see a cross-section of like just how thin these paddles are Increase the contrast here so we can see that there's actually kind of there is something behind it But there's a large cavity behind each one of these paddles so that you can thermally isolate it We kind of see that this this wire like snakes through and just goes back and forth back and forth back and forth across the wire And so they just detect the resistance change in the wire to figure out how warm or cold each one of the pixels is Hmm, and you can see a couple of areas because it's a focused IMB whenever the beam like stopped for some reason We just like blue random little So this sample is Had it for a while only mission under SEM, but being able to just go in there and very precisely slice one rectangular hole That's just the power. It's so fast too. Amazing. Yeah And yeah, so you can see some other die that's up here kind of in the top of the frame right now That's the control die. So that's what you actually digitally interface with That's all inside this one package You know one thing we're gonna bounce in a second because we're gonna do ask an engineer but if and when you're ready because we're talking over email maybe we can coordinate and Figure out what folks want to see Yeah Time and then we can you know promote it in that way folks can see the thing like we when we do the great search on Sundays It's like I'd really like to find the following part. I did you key? You're in the same business now except for you're doing it optically We're joining you in the great hunt though as you work on getting our hardware ready to sell as well Yeah, yeah, so let let you know folks in the chat Have some requests and then also if they're or maybe you keep and say hey here's four different things We're thinking of showing off next. Yeah, that's exactly what we did We just kind of took out all the mems that you tend to us previously like okay, which what do we slice open? So we also sliced open a mems microphone So we're able to see like the two different layers of the mems microphone So this is the top layer and then that has holes in it and then the bottom layer solid Those moving further closer together care to take the texture change capacitively so very yeah All right well keep coming by each week and if you know what you're going to show in advance Let us know we'll get the word out and all the social media places too So folks can see this all electronics are not magical. They're they're here. You can see them Great great image of a microphone. This is great So anyways, you all have a good evening All right, everybody, that's our show until for the week. I think we have the only like live microscope Yeah, there's a lot going on. Yeah, so we'll see everybody next week every single week Wednesday some 30 p.m. Eastern time We will be doing show tell just a minute. Thank you so much for making this the best half an hour of the week every single week See you later
