 Hey, what's up folks welcome to another show and tell I'm no airways This is Pedro as and we're hosting this week's show and tell Everybody's welcome to join in if you'd like to be a part of the show you can click on the link in our discord chat room and we're gonna take a couple minutes to welcome everybody and You can take about three to five minutes to share your project How's that is it so good? Yeah, let's go ahead and start off with Liz Okay, I'm gonna bring Liz in hello Liz and special guest Winnie She's having a very exciting night because there's a lot of lasers here But this week I worked on a project kind of called a cutie pie MIDI friends So Sandy with now I posted up on Twitter this concept of like doing a really small circuit to do MIDI TRS conversion So basically you can take in MIDI over USB and then send it out over TRS So basically makes it so that your hardware sense can now get MIDI stuff from your computer So we expanded a little bit did one for TRS a TRS B and also classic din 5 so Yeah, and so the code's all written in circa Python And it's just point-to-point wiring like really simple And we did that so that it could stay nice and small And yeah, really simple just to really low value resistors On the data and BCC and ground and then you're ready to go Yay, all of our retro MIDI sense can now rejoice in the in the late 90s now with USB I got myself a microcorg and that one just has den 5 and it's like ah I need this other converter box and like the converter box no longer has a driver that supported for my Mac OS So this is gonna bring that back to life. So we'll use this thing again And I I did test it with my microcorg actually coincidentally Since I have and it has a couple broken keys at this point because I've had it Oh, since I was a teenager and it's seen So now You can do MIDI don't worry about the hardware keys. Yeah, and also The world of TRS MIDI is very interesting and just that like it can be TSA is now the standard But there's a bunch of devices of TRS B and you can't tell just by looking like which one it is They can have to there's luckily there's resourced online to check and I link that in the guide But it's literally just swapping two signals. Oh Excellent. Oh, so it's turned into like what USB is now the second gen to 3.1 So many flavors, which one is the fast one? Oh, man Awesome, thank you so much. All right, we'll check in with you next week. All right. All right. Hey Okay, next up. We're gonna check in With Jeff Jeff Welcome to my basement. So if you Watch the new products you might have seen this board that Adafrit is stocking from Pimeroni called the servo 2040 and it's got the RP 2040 microcontroller and connections for 18 different RC servo motors and they said well, we have source for Arduino and for Micro-Python, but with circuit Python you can't run all 18 servos yet So Lamar deputized me to add that and I've just got four here But you'll notice they're hooked to the very first connector in the very last connector So imagine that there's the full 18 servos and I'm just gonna hit the reset button here and Everybody is gonna start going So this support is in the just released new alpha version of 730 for you to try out It is best on the server 2040 because it's got these great connectors But it will work with any board that's based on the RP 2040 and that's kind of what I've been up to And I learned about servo motors and made this kind of janky little bracket just to show them off And now I need a project to put them in because otherwise. I'll just sit around so Your ideas on discord what I can do with these core servo motors, please. Yeah before the show We were chatting and saying I bet when Phil B. Here's that sound He automatically thinks of like ears moving and tails, which I think that's the project right there Just have like two tails and like Well, I don't necessarily see myself as a person who should have had a tail, but I definitely I love the challenge though for like you did the flapping wings. You did the wings. Those were quite the thing So haven't yeah, we really ran out of servos. So it's like how do we get ears plus tail plus wings Yeah with this guy you can do 18 which that is a whole heckin lot That's like doing like the mask and like having the eyebrows and like whatever yeah twitch stuff Yeah, and there is an external power input so you know when you go beyond what you can do over the USB So yeah, I think it's a pretty nice little board. Of course everything circuit Python runs on it It's in the 80 fruit store. Of course. It's in the timer on the store. So awesome. Yeah. Yeah Well, if you've got another minute, I have an update in my project that I think I showed last week So I brought this little badge and I was looking at it and I thought well I've got these screws still visible on the front because I base this off of the laser cut but I use the The threaded inserts so on the back There's just nothing visible from the fasteners and I'm like well, why don't I move that? around so that the fasteners are on the back and The front is just this beautiful pristine thing. Well depending how good your first layer is and Then the other fun thing on the Adafruit blog they had this QR code generator that This isn't showing up. I'll drop the picture in our discord again This is a blinker QR code that links to circuit python org and in person It just it looks like a picture of Blinka with some little staticky bits on it. It's a really great QR code generator So, yeah, I'll drop a couple links in the discord. I have not posted up the design for this yet This design is posted on my thing averse and on my printables this design will probably go up after pycon Yeah, and I'll share some links over in the discord. Yeah And there's one thing I was gonna say I forgot dang it. I'll shoot was about the pie game. Oh, yeah. Yeah Yeah, the qr builder look works really good even like a teeny tiny little poach is a postage stamp when you posted it on the slack I just did a quick test in the oh and take it on right away. Yeah Super surprised because I didn't have the window maximized or anything. It was just a tiny little thing in the corner and So cool. Yeah, whoever did that. It's amazing. Thank you for sharing that with us All right, cool. I think that's gonna be it. Thanks for the short show. Cool. Well, thanks everybody awesome projects But don't go anywhere. I ask an engineer comes right up in like Right, yeah As I've heard we'll have some more special posts. Yeah, can't wait awesome. Maybe it'll be you Jeff I'll be away for a little while soon. So I'm gonna do a little travel and you won't see my face every Wednesday, but Yeah, get some drinks for us We'll see ya everybody
