 All right, Lady, what is this everybody welcome to show and tell it's me Lady Aida with me Mr. Lady Aida here on camera control audio control We're at the Aida food factory as you can see behind us not a green screen real factory behind us We do all our manufacturing the electronic goodies you love to use in your projects if it's stuff but for the next 20 ish minutes we're going to check in with people from our community who are going to Video in and show us what they're working on whether it's machine learning or shipping products or synthesizers or hands We're gonna find out what they're doing. So let's kick it off with Kevin from digi key We have some special guests tonight first guest Kevin. Did you get what you're doing guys? Hey, how's everybody doing? Good good. So a couple of weeks ago. I showed you guys the the DK favicon logo that I 3d printed Yeah, and as promised I have it connected to Aida fruit IO So if you want to share my screen, I'm gonna zoom in on it or focus good enough. Okay There we go So with Aida fruit IO I have it set up so each color I can change to basically whatever I want and You can see with Aida fruit IO working over the internet and then back to the board. It's quick. It's like Seconds I was quite impressed with it So now yeah, so now I have this DK board. I'm using the the feather ESP 8266 Mm-hmm, and it seemed to be the best one I tried a few different boards, but that feather seemed to cooperate the best with my my limited skills So, all right. Well, whatever would have been possible and now it's easy. So Good work Evan. Nice work. So it's You know be able to do this on the fly and It's quite simple to do you guys have some great tutorials and all these parts are available through Aida fruit or through digikey Yeah, and Special thanks digikey. We have an Aida box coming up We also do the great search and that's becoming one of the more popular segments because if you're gonna find something You're probably gonna find on digikey, but you can use lady to skills to help you find that and more Thank you Kevin. Yeah, and we're really looking forward to the next Aida box. It's gonna be exciting I wonder what it is All right, we'll see you next week. Maybe all right. Take care guys. All right next special guest Jenny from edge impulse. Hello, Jenny Thanks for having me. Yeah, Jenny's going to talk about an event that Aida fruits part of with edge impulse And I think Sony and more take it away Jenny and thanks for coming by show until now So yeah, I just wanted to talk a little bit about our event on July 28th We are working with Sony and Aida fruit to put on this workshop We just recently Release support for the Sony's presence board with edge impulse So that includes full support for our camera microphone and on board accelerometers as well We're just gonna go through and talk about how we can use a And edge impulse and the sensors on the Sony board to make embedded machine learning models Okay, right on we're gonna put this on our blog We'll have a reminder and then for the folks out there when you're thinking about hardware choices So on the Sony's presence you can run Arduino on it. You can run circuit Python You could put machine learning stuff with edge impulse So there's a lot of things you can do and we also stock them in the Aida fruit store. So we do All right What's your cat's name? Okay We're doing the machine learning thing that helps people keep cats off the counter. So we will show you that project later There's no way they do what I'm sleeping. There's A lot of a lot of the show and tell us what pets people have in the background Thank you Jenny and thank you blue jeans a cat Next up JP what you got going on this week. Hey, uh, so I got my cat named Lars sitting right over The cat nothing cat pretending just to sneak into my life and my heart It's very dangerous. We sent him so what I've got going on today. This you may remember may recognize This was a little macro pad keyboard. I built using the Pico and and a custom PCB I built a few months ago and I put out a guide on how to build that and the software that I showed and that was working as a USB HID keyboard But the other day I decided to write some new software for it that allows it to work as a USB MIDI Keyboard but not just a regular MIDI keyboard that kind of plays chromatically through all the notes of the piano But I wanted to make one that makes it easy for someone like me who doesn't play piano It doesn't play regular keyboard to still not hit any wrong notes So if you've studied any musical theory, you may know about the different modes So that you can have things like a C major scale a C minor scale I see Lydian scale a C frigy and scale and these are all sort of subsets of a 12-note chromatic scale that kind of all work together and set a certain mood And so what I've got here is actually a keyboard that you can configure when you boot it up So if I hit the little reset button there, it's now waiting for me to pick any any note So let's say that's the key I want this in So I'll hit this bottom right key as an enter and now I can pick a mode and it'll preview those modes for me So if I hit The first note that's going to give you a major scale That one's minor Pick that one's mix of Lydian So when I like the scale that I've picked there or the mode I've picked there again I hit enter and now it's three octaves of that so You Can create little jams little ditties without needing to actually commit the Keys to memory and know how to play them on the on the bevangelus without Yep Any since I just have it plugged in using a free synth on on this lap on this computer here. That's called helm But there are also hardware synthesizers that can host USB keyboards So pretty much anything that can that can host a USB MIDI device. You can plug this in and play And so tomorrow my show on the the workshop show I'll be digging into this more and showing some of the details of how that works how I Created that and then hopefully I'll start a Guide on that and maybe port that to some of our other keyboardy kinds of things like our little Macro pads and stuff like that our little one by fours So that people can play some cool jams Just much a P and welcome back this week We have your product pick of the week and then we'll continue to put in the clips from the show starting next week That's right. Great. Thanks. Oh, thank you. Thank you JP. All right. No, Pedro Oh, I just thought was that your dog? Yeah, sorry. He thinks it's time Okay, so last there a couple weeks ago We were showing a prototype of a super cool project that Dylan had worked on we just made the case for this Right at the end of July just looked up a LeVarne you guys know from Sartre King and reading Rambo is gonna be hosting at Jeopardy Yes, my son's favorite watch it if it's the highest rated one Maybe they'll do what they should do, which is oh, yeah, he's always asking if it's playing or not But Lamar had an idea of having Making like the buzzers that they use on the show with us or a playground blue fruit So ever presses the button first, you know, it'll light it up the color of the Contested of the player and what's really cool is the the CPB that you can cool thing that Dylan had it was the ability to change modes to have like Bluetooth HID keys being sent So if you are playing like the game on a computer it'll send the actual keys over there And you can turn that on and off with the mode select little on and off switch That's on the CPB the reason I would request that is because it was sending like commands to my phone And I get almost locked me out, but awesome cool feature that you can do that You can turn that on and off and then of course everything snapped it together up reprinted You have a stomach speaker on the bottom so you can have that audio bowl play and it's a Cool little way to get ready for Jeopardy Sound effects is and is that what they look like? It's it's like it's hard. They're always Yeah, yeah, it's sort of like that a little bit bigger, but this is slim Yeah, yeah, it's all snapped together and screwed it together so everything's super modular We have actually built this with the bolt-on kit So if you're using this like an education like setting you can keep reusing the CPB for different projects So it's a way to reuse the electronics Just launch the video and the guide today. So check all that out I do like the solder free projects. Good work knowing Pedro and Dylan. It was a good team up This was on our list for a very long time. Yeah, and I was like, you know Jeopardy and Lovar Burton hosting it I thought this is a really good way to maybe have something ready for when that happens. We can we can play along Practice your lesson. All right, and then quick up I asked no Pedro to send me an air tag via UPS around so we tracked this all the way up to New York It took I-95 and this you know parasitically anonymously Pops on to people's iPhones and sends its location However, we're trying to figure out now that it's my hand if they say like beep. Why doesn't it beep? So we don't know why it's not doing that yet But we'll see maybe it just takes a while Maybe Apple change some stuff if like if it's out of state, maybe it doesn't be who knows But we did this experiment and my tip for everyone is because I just read about these students who had their CubeSats Lost by FedEx if there's something that like really really matters Tossing in one of these although not free and not cheap It's a lot cheaper than losing your year's worth of student CubeSats, so I'm thinking that this might be a neat hack to keep track of that Absolutely needed package and if it gets lost you still want to find it I guess we sent it some art to a gallery and DHL lost it for a month, and it by the time it arrived The gallery show yeah Anyways neat idea we're gonna find out more but this just arrived and it has it all the way leading up to Adafruit But after it got here unknown so we'll see Yeah, we'll keep trying. I'll keep trying throughout the show. So if you hear like that audible, that's me. Yeah, I mean all there is is a beacher in there Okay, cool Alright Scott's hand. Hello Can you hear me too? Yeah Um, okay, let me unlock my phone. So I wanted to show off. Uh, this is largely Antonia's work But um, what we have here is The latest version of glider Um, and I actually have this feather NRF 52 840 that it's actually just connected to So what I can do now is I can like list the files here Like if I just want to read code up I I can list it It's nice and quick. There is actually a progress bar now as well. So um, let me switch to a different file Oh, look at that nice file Browser. Um, yeah, so you can it actually works now It was it was broken there, but no, but I'm saying that's why you're shutting up Yeah, here's the current contents and there's just like some stock content So if we if we do this what this is going to happen is circuit Python is going to restart because we're writing a file So you'll see it actually reconnect um Pretty quickly and without any sort of interaction that I have to do so that's really cool. And then if I go back And where's the where's the board that you're connecting to sorry? It's like it's like right under my hand Oh, sorry, but I can like move it further away No, no, it's just I actually was across my desk everything is not plugged in on your desk. It's like, what is it? um Okay, cool. So it's like three feet away. I don't know And it's working bluetooth. Yeah, it's working. I'm pretty happy with that. I've got a couple other Like uh eyes to dot and t's to cross, but then I'll get a pull request out by the end of the week And I'll be streaming on um Streaming on friday all this stuff And it'll probably be very hot. So that increases the likelihood that I dump water on my keyboard. So that's always entertaining yum All right, gotta keep your keyboards watered. Thank you so much Thank you. Uh, let's go to lis. Hello, lis Hi, how's it going? What'd you get going on this week? Uh, so i'm working on a project uh, then hydro uh for a macro keypad And it's probably cool to have a screen Um, and every time you press the button you get a new frame of the party pirate Uh, so as you're typing or sending MIDI things you get a dancing card Unfortunately my um webcam is watching at the colors a little bit, but we are doing the full Beautiful party colors, but I see the party parade. It's moving. It's dancing. It's partying Good work. Hi faster. This versus long go cat. I don't know both are pretty cool Well, that'd be a cool showdown with people like me midi drumming. Yeah That's right All right, thank you so much lis and uh, sorry I was sending you I sent you an email just Right today because I'm I was just running late during the week. Sorry, but I sent it to you Okay All right, thanks lis. Thanks. I'll talk to you later All right next up phone me guy. Yeah, what you got going on this week? All right. Hello Uh, I have a uh actually first, uh, I need to say a huge shout out to no one page Oh, they designed this uh this crank arm and this thing's really cool. It can bend back and forth and it free spins there That's super neat. That's when we saw the playdate come out We're like we should just make a crank for like other stuff and we did Yeah, so I've got a rotary trinky inside of here, um, and we can hook it up to the phone I'll plug it in. I just have an otg cable to a phone And the way we have it set up is uh, basically to try to train yourself to use social media and devices less So as soon as I plug it in it's going to start changing the brightness on my device to go down Um, and it forces me to have to crank it. So if I start cranking it here Um, if I get going fast enough then it will eventually stop changing the brightness down And if I go even faster then eventually it will make the brightness go up So it's kind of a way to make it inconvenient It's like okay, I'll look on social media, but I but I have to do some some cranking Yep, exactly right So uh working on the guide hoping to have it wrapped up this week on that one All right, cool. And this is neat because it's it's it's actually a demo of hid on ios and android to do brightness control It's interesting because we're using the media commands for brightness that we weren't sure were Supported so we actually had to like like there's no documentation that says it works, but it turns out it works. Yeah Yeah, yeah, we um also Got the inspiration from this paper where they were saying like Hey, maybe everyone shouldn't scroll on twitter so much because it's kind of killing everybody like Mentally, so anyways, uh good work on this. Maybe we can help some folks Figure out what's important or just like they'll have very strong arms from cranking this whole tiny Or it could be a cool accessibility thing I just thought it was neat to see like can we plug it tricky into a mobile device and the answer is yes For sure. Yep. Thank you. Good work for me guys All right mark. How's it going and congratulations on your first open source hardware certification? Yeah, uh, thanks. I wasn't around last week really so, uh I really wanted to say thanks for that. It was, uh Great to have you guys feature that and I was so happy about it. Yeah, we have it here This week I've been working on the lamp and I've got a bunch of plastic Um, so I've been experimenting with various types of plastic To see what would look best, uh, so if anyone's wondering the top left is Prop Berlin, I probably butchered how I was saying that the next two are polycarbonate um, they're both The the two on the left are both about half a millimeter thick And the one on the right is actually um Probably only a tenth of a millimeter thick And then the bottom right is the white led Acrylic that tap plastic has it's also about half a millimeter thick So let me Bring up Of course now it's not gonna come I feel like we're watching a particle accelerator channel. Yeah, I know like how's that? And Okay, let me try to turn my camera on and off again and see if that actually went in doubt reboot. Yeah Turn turn the rudder on and off Do you want to just hold it up in front of your? camera Oh, you know what if I actually start the right camera that would work better So, yeah, I've now got the led plastic inside the lamp The leds inside are just free or just hanging there right now. So it's not working. Uh, it's not an even light But yeah, this plastic works great if you just need something you want the lights to be really diffused behind Um, they're they're only a couple inches away from the side uh, so yeah, the lamp is slowly coming along and uh Looking a lot better looks great Yeah, the plastic works great. So, uh, that's good. I know some people are asking about it. So It's incredibly flexible bendable. It's easy to cut. It's less than a millimeter thick So, uh, yeah Yeah, maybe we'll get some of that too because we you know people are showing off the black acrylic And then you know, that was so cool. We use it now and we stock it for the matrix led panel So we'll check out this white stuff too. Yeah, the white stuff is great. All right. Thank you Thank you so much mark and thanks again for sending us this show and something I was having a rough day that day when this came in the mail. I was just like, you know what It was all worth it Yeah, I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it. Yeah, thank you so much. I had a blast making it. Yeah, this is really cool. All right Well, thank you mark. Excellent All right, that's show and tell everybody. Thank you so much for joining this week This is our favorite half an hour of the week every single week We'll see all of you on ask an engineer in just a few minutes. Thanks everybody. See you next week some 30 p.m. Eastern Time the longest running And largest show and tell in the world It's right. You can well actually me on twitter, but it's you do it I guess go for it. It's true. You're wrong. All right We'll see everybody later. Thanks everybody. Bye. Bye
