 Pedro, what is this? Hey, everybody, this is the Aid Fruit Show in Teleth. This is the best place to show off your DIY projects, whether it be like 3D printing, or circuit boards, or cool 8-all wraps. Crafting, knitting, retro gear, all this fair. Welcome everybody to the show in Teleth. Everybody, all Arkansas, just take participants, not contestants. It's not a faking show. Take a look at the three minutes to show off your projects. Not a lot of folks here, so I'm taking my time to say hello and welcome everybody. So we're going to kick it off with our very special guests from Digikey, Kevin. Hello, Kevin. Hi, Kevin. Everybody recovering from Halloween? Oh my gosh, yes. Yes, we're recovering. We're recovered. How was your Halloween? It was great. Still a bunch of candy left over. I'm good for a couple of months. I was going to say, give your kids all the candy or let them have access to it. They have quite a hefty dad tax. Oh. Yes, I took the entire stash. You got nothing because the sugar with this kid no, it does not work. You know, I think we're going to have to trade shirts because I really like the different shirt. That's great. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have to send one over. Send us over your site. I can send you one. Yes, I will email you separately. We're going to show Teleth. So I can share your screen and we're going to. Hold off on the screen for one second. So this week, we, as in Digikey and Make, launched the 2021 boards guide. And this guide is every year, it just gets so much better. It's got everything in it. And I'm going to actually share with you the AR version. So now we can share my screen. So we have this setup for AR. And I'm just using an old, I don't even use it in my regular forms, using an old iPhone. And I downloaded the app, the Digikey AR app. And it loads in a second here. All right. We're going to start scanning the environment. And you can see there we have this video that's going to start playing. You can't hear the sound just because of the way the sound is working out. But we have some of the big leaders in the community. We all know who she is. And they're talking about some of the latest trends that they've seen in 2021 on boards and different things that have came out. We all know you can see the Raspberry Pi, the Pico, and the RP2040 chip. So this is the whole story based on just the RP2040, which is really great. And then as we go through this, these boards come up and they're in AR. And if I touch on it, we get some add-on boards. And we can play with all these things just with our finger. You guys probably can't even see my finger, obviously, because the way this is working. But you can play around with these boards. You can zoom in. You can look at the different parts on them and what it looks like. And then, like I said, the different add-on board. It's a Katronik piano. You can put the micro bit in, which is pretty cool. And a bunch of different pages. So the Datafruit Neo Trinkie, this thing is such a cool little device. It's a lot of fun. And then on this side, we just have other boards that are listed. And if you want to view some of these in AR, we have them available, like the M5 Pico, the Stant Pico, you know, this is pretty cool. So I think we have a total of 30 boards that are in AR that are in the list, but not part of the new and notable. You know, just sort of run through this really quick, some of these cool boards for the year. And we have the download links and kind of an overview of the guide and actually a downloadable PDF of the guide at digikey.com slash boards guide. So make sure you guys check it out. We will do. Please post a link to the app in the Discord. Okay. Yeah, I love how this extends the magazine. This is so cool. I like having the additional add-on boards that you can see and all the additional scrollable info. Yeah. This is a really good way to do AR. Holy crap. Yeah, it makes it a lot of fun. And we were able to do a lot of cool things. Of course, scrolling. Very nice. That's what I'm about. Like, you know, when AR still first started off, you know, it was just like the furniture and stuff. But in having all this extra info for the boards, like all the add-ons and everything is pretty awesome. It's such a good idea. I mentioned it. Yeah. It gives you kind of a fun way to look at the boards and the content. I mean, obviously if you're gonna use one of these boards you need to know what this content means and what all the different voltages are. But it allows you to get a good up close and look. What does the back of the board look like? What are some of these pinouts? How about the thickness? Yeah. You can see the thickness of it. Like the little, the tiny one. Freakin' awesome. There's the crooked for the micro bit. So this is what I have to show. I'll go post the link in Discord really quick. But again, it's just digikey.com slash forgeguide. Okay. Well done. Yeah, this is excellent. Shout out to the team for putting that together. Very cool. Thanks for watching. All right, Kevin. We'll check with you next week. Sounds good. And we'll send in the shirts and send them to the sides. Send you a Blinka and an Adafruit one, all right. That would be great. Yeah, early gifts. All right, Kevin. We'll check with you next time. Thanks Kevin. Let's go too. Bye. Okay, next up, we're checking in with JP. JP. JP. Hey. Hey. Hi. Can you hear me? First of all, I'm doing weird ear budding. Yes, yes. You sound really good. Happy birthday to Noah. Are we doing a happy birthday thing for you? Everyone? I don't know. He was like, don't tell the money. I'm like, what the heck, man? Sorry. I just saw it in the chat, so I couldn't help it. I am using fireworks to make websites years old. That's how old I am. All right. Remember, fireworks from macro media? That's how old I am. Dude, I had an Adobe update and it said, sorry, Flash Animator isn't it? Like supporting him like, okay. As you watch things fall off the cliff of the band and wear in the Adobe suite. I was just like, I had like 15 years ago. All right. I wanted to show a couple of things. One is a 3D print. So I am building some props for a stage show that's a spoof of Harry Potter. It's called Puffs. And I checked the full name of the play is actually Puffs are seven increasingly eventful years at a certain school of magic and magic. And it came from 2015. It was off, off Broadway and then off Broadway. And it's being done at the high school theater here. And actually my son and daughter are both in the play. And so I agreed to build some props. And one of the props they need are some dragon eggs that are, I think, either prizes for an equivalent of the Goblet of Fire games that they do or something like that. I haven't read this part of the script yet. But the director had asked for some parents that wanted to help with some props. And one of the props was gonna be a golden egg which was gonna be a plastic egg with some picnic spoons like snapped off and glued to it and spray-painted. And I said, that sounds fun. And that might actually be the aesthetic you're going for. And I'd love to make that. But would you want me to look into 3D printing something? And he said, yeah, totally. So I decided to get some of the silk style filament which I've never printed with before. And I'm amazed by it. It has such a great shiny shimmery look to it with these essentially what I'd call anisotropic specular highlights coming from like a computer graphics world. But when you look at the spool of filament which I don't have with me here in the shop the highlights align perpendicular to the spool and it sort of maintains that highlight even though all the lines are going this way you get sort of these really nice vertical specular highlights on it. So I found an egg on a dragon egg on Thingiverse. I scaled it up a bunch and then I hollowed it out more so it would print a little faster and it comes in two halves has these nice fangy bits on the ends there. So it's great model. I may, I started building an end cap so that it's no longer flat here and it'll be a full egg that I'll probably just end up gluing or bolting and gluing on. But this is the blue one. This is the one I did in sort of a more normal PLA and you can see how it doesn't quite have that shimmery shiny look to it. For this one which we may use I printed it at a bit lower resolution. I also went in and did some sort of ink wash paint in the lower half here just so I could explore having a little bit more dimension to it but you can see this stuff is definitely a lot flatter looking dimensionally versus this silk PLA stuff. And I think this was like $20, $23 roll filament so not very expensive and you could probably print about four of them on a spool. So I'm looking to do a gold one and a silver one and I've got these two. So I'm looking into filament. I was asking you guys earlier because I have a printer that prints 2.85 millimeter and I got some 1.75 because they didn't have any of the gold in stock in three and I know you guys have a guide that you point me at towards using the 1.75 in your Ultimaker and I think I might need to modify the feeder a little bit so that it actually can grip the stuff enough right now. It's not wanting to grip it. I'm gonna have to go in in there and add this to the guide. They're the little set screw that's in the feeder block. You can actually take that out. It's like a little button screw and that could pop outside of the feeder box and tighten that up and that'll increase the tension because you were saying that you weren't able to grip onto the 1.75 and I think that's a real life. Yeah, that's great. That's a great tip. Yeah, I ran into its limits because you're essentially unscrewing the screw to tighten the thing and then just hit the top of the box that it's in. So that's great. I'll go try that. Take it out of that and that should have just enough to tighten it even more. Yeah, good. And if that doesn't work, I may get one of the conversion kits that has like a special purpose built thing or it's just like a bigger bearing and a couple of modifications and I think it has a Teflon tube that goes inside of the Bowdoin tube so you narrow the tube. I don't know how much that matters but it's like 75 bucks for this thing but all the filament I can't currently print with. I'm like, in the long run, I've had this printer for eight years now or something. I've got a lot of use out of it. It might be nice to switch over to the thinner filament. Yeah, we were talking about this before the show too. It's so sad that, you know, we have all these nice printers there but because all the manufacturers have moved over to the 1.75, it's hard to get those colors sometimes like I'll design something for the ultimakers and the color that we want. Yeah. It's all 1.75 and I think you've seen that it's like next day delivery for 20 bucks. Yeah, it's just so readily available. Yeah, on the other hand, this was a pretty beautiful print that it did with minimal futzing by me and I don't like futzing with three printers. I have just one, I have it dialed in, I just clean it and print and so I'm a little nervous about monkeying around with changing things out but you know, the march of progress goes on. So anyway, that's my, I hope I didn't take too long with that but I'm really excited because I haven't done a lot of printing in materials that are unusual and attractive like that. So I'm excited about the print there. Yeah, I think one of the other things I noticed too, oh, sorry. Go ahead. I was gonna say one of the other things I noticed too with the silk that whatever the additive that they add on there it makes it like a little bit more bendable. So kind of stronger I think. Oh, okay. Yeah, so it'll flex before it cracks. Yeah, yeah. This was a slow print, the second one because I wanted it to be durable. So it has like an 18% gyroid infill and it's 0.25 layer height. So it took about, I don't know, 20-something hours to print both halves combined but it's a prop for theater. I really don't want to smash to bits the first time someone drops it. So we'll see, it could be disastrous. We'll find out. And that was the 175? No, this was in my... It's 285. Oh, okay, it's 285, yeah. Okay, okay, it just worked. Yeah, it just worked. And then real quick, I know I've taken a ton of time. I will, if you show my screen here I'll tease what I'm doing tomorrow which is I did a tear down on Halloween or day before Halloween on my last show of this cool doorbell. And now I turned off the sound but I actually have sound and motors working controlled by a microcontroller. I think I just disconnected another part. So it's probably gonna just stop there. Let's see. Yeah, all right, so that's my tease. It opens, will it close, will we have a move around? I have it now not using its own microcontroller and electronics. I have my own outboard thing. What is it? Tune in tomorrow to find out. Awesome. Can't wait. Thanks so much, JP. All right, JP. We'll check in with you next week. Bye. All right, we're saved the best for last. We have Liz. Plit City DIY. Howdy, Liz. Hey, Liz. Hi. This is the best. Well, you're the best for a day by the way. Thank you. So I am starting on a holiday project which might make some people cringe. I know we're just days into November. But Hanukkah is a little early this year. It's at the end of November. So this is kind of an electronic cradle project. And right now, just to kind of get it up and running, it's on 32 by 32 RGB matrix. And if I press this button, it spins. And then it will eventually stop on a character. That shin, you have to put one into the pot. So this is going to be a little bit larger scale and have some more details. But I'll let those kind of reveal themselves on show and tell as we go forward. But it's just a sprite sheet kind of entering through tile grid. And then I'm also kind of playing with having the speed kind of have some variation too. Similar if you were playing it in real life. So that would be coming shortly. Sweet. That's really awesome progress. Yeah, and I don't think it's early. I think everybody has started really small. If you're going to make a project, you need to start maybe a month early. Yeah. You've got to get some supplies and have room to like figure things out. Especially now with like shortages of everything. So that's today's takeaway for everybody at home. Get started now. Get started yesterday again. Yes. All right. I guess you know, the projects all set and you're not. Yes. You got to use it. Yeah, exactly. I can hear like the little ding or little sound effects in my head already. It's going to be awesome. There will be some music with this too. Nice. Beautiful. You have a lot to do. Yay. Well, awesome. I hope we see you next week, Liz. I think that's going to do it. Everybody, thank you for coming on. It was mostly just JP, Liz and Kevin. But hey, Jordan Sweet this week. The dog thanks you because he can go walk now. Yeah. I can see that word. It's a trigger word. He's going to... All right. All right, Liz, we'll check with you next week. Bye. All right, folks, so thank you so much. Don't go anywhere. Well, you can go somewhere. You have about 15 minutes until Lamar and Mr. and Mrs. Lady Ada come on and ask an engineer for a whole hour. So check in in like 15 minutes. Over here. Yeah. Good luck everybody on your Maker endeavors. Until then, remember to make a great day, right? Bye, folks.
