 So first up we have some coming soon big announcement from Raspberry Pi. They're teaming up with you know tonight is a Lego theme They're teaming up with Lego. Yeah, this is a Raspberry Pi build hat. Yes. It has an RP2040 We do not own any of these otherwise believe me. I would show you one It's a hot. It's a hat hardware on attached to the top of a Raspberry Pi plugs into your 2 by 20 Raspberry Pi So anything from a Pi 2 or 1b plus up to a Pi 4 Pi 0 and It is designed if you go back. It's got four slots for Sensors or motors that these thoughts. I believe they're two I squared C pins to motor pins and to power pins I think maybe a PWM pin, but these are Used with Lego spike and like mechatronics robotics parts. So You know one nice thing about you know, we sell robotics parts We just sell like raw motors and stuff, but the stuff that comes from a Lego is durable I mean it's meant for kids and PhD students alike both of which are very destructive human beings To play with robotics and sensors and have this very simple plug-and-play system You know that said I think you know, even though they're doing micro Python with You know Lego mechatronics products now you might want to have something more powerful You might want to integrate it with Minecraft. You might want to integrate it with scratch You might want to integrate it with Python Attaching it to a Raspberry Pi and then using the Python library that has been written We'll make it a lot easier for people to be able to do like quite advanced robotics Another thing is the camera on the Raspberry Pi is really powerful You can do machine learning stuff where the camera on the Raspberry Pi is recognizing stuff and then moving the motors through the build hat I'm just going to toss in a prediction. So the Raspberry Pi trading code, you know, they took funding Yeah, and Eventually, you know, you got to sell. Yeah, that's or go public or something something Why wouldn't Lego just buy them? That'd be a nice that'd be a pretty good match. It's nice speaking of Raspberry Pi stuff There's also a power supply that goes with it. It's coming soon though. There's also coming soon I don't have them yet. So the the build hat requires a power supply and this is an 8 volt 6 amp power supply It's a little bit of an odd voltage right 8 volts. It's like not 5 and it's not 9 And it needs 6 amps because you know, the motors are quite chunky. They can draw, you know, an amp or two a piece So this power supply is designed specifically for the build hat and the build hat has a step-down converter So it'll also power the Raspberry Pi when you use this power supply. So we'll hopefully get both of these again You know chip between chip shortages and chipmint delays, but hopefully we'll get these by the holidays Next up Okay, next up Retail, you know, we're talking to the arm Foundation and real tech and they were like, hey, can you carry some real tech stuff? And we're like, yeah, we'll carry what what do you think we should carry? And they're like, well, why don't you carry the real tech Amoeba IoT DevKit? And I was like, okay, yeah This is kind of an interesting DevKit Amoeba is interesting. You know, there's there's definitely High competition right now for microcontrollers, especially ARM Cortex microcontrollers and similar Where there's a Wi-Fi and or Bluetooth module built into the core and that's what Amoeba is. It's a you know, the module that you see there It's kind of a chunky module, but it has a dual core ARM processor. I think that's Wi-Fi has BLE5 Support so it's kind of an IoT processor and it's designed to be Low-cost easy to use and one thing that is nice about it compared to expressive core. It uses ARM There could be situations where you're like, I really need an ARM core To do the development. Maybe I'm using pre-compiled biaries or maybe I have optimizations that or I just really like the ARM Cortex system. I don't want to have this, you know, alternative a 10 silica processor In which case I check this out. So it's a dev board Okay This is the the module itself and it's got a tin and it's got the antenna It's got audio output. It's got microphone input. It's got a couple buttons here On the back, it's got a micro SD slot. This is a USB serial converter It I don't believe it has native USB. Well, it could be wrong It looks like it does. This is probably the native USB and this is the FT232R. So this is the USB serial converter. So used for debugging This does have Arduino core support through real tech You can download a board support package and they have example code for Using it with with Arduino to connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth You know, I always like carrying like, you know, lots of different ship sets. We've carried like 10 different Wi-Fi boards And this is another one. It's not for beginners. I think if you want something that has tons of examples Maybe use Expressive for user Raspberry Pi But you know, there are situations where you might want to experiment with a new platform Or you want to use Amoeba. This dev kit's great Okay, and next up the stars of the show tonight besides you lady at our community our customers our team and Everyone here tonight are some din rail stuff. That's why the code was in wrong. Yeah. Yeah We're gonna get back to having some more interfrugate made stuff, but So you got two different ones. Yeah, so people really do like our din rail Like breakout boards and stuff and I was like, well, we should carry something that's just a kind of a simple terminal block To have two options ones like a one to one Ten by ten and one's a two by six. So let's go to the I like showing these photos I know there's like snakes. Yes, let's go to the overhead and I'll show the the ten by ten For lack of a better word. So this one, you know, again, there's a this is a terminal block and you can push to You know, I don't want to break my nail, but you can use a screwdriver to press in to release Or plug in Strenikor or solid core wire This one if you see there's numbers the number goes from one to ten So each one of these each ten terminal blocks They connect through one to the other side. So this blue wire is this blue wire this white wire It's the white wire this green one to the green wire. So this is for like, you know, basically making Wiring jigs, of course the slots on these terminal blocks are kind of chunky So if you if you want to connect multiple wires inside, you can probably do like two or you know, or three 22 gauge wires on each side, but it really is like a one-to-one connector and then on the bottom there's the dim rail slot and then The two by six. This is kind of a power distribution bus So on one side there's only a two pin connector and there's a little plus and a minus So you can imagine you have power in here plus and minus and on the other side There's a whole row the top row is plus and the bottom row is minus and you get six of each So this is really good for like, okay I want to distribute my five-volt or 12-volt or eight volt power in and then out I can see this being used for like neopixel strips, you know You have like one gigantic 10 amp power supply coming in here and then strips going out to individual neopixel strips on the other side Either way they fit perfectly on classic Din rail, this is my little magical piece of din rail And for the folks who aren't familiar with dinner went where would these din rails be besides You know this demo in your hand like where where where do these exist the only thing is it's always hard for me to remember Which way it goes? What do they exist in the world? So they're often used in Well industrial and mechatronic projects like when people are doing industrial projects because Basically, you can just attach stuff to this the standard. It's din just means it's a standard railing And you can move stuff around so I see these in robotics. I see this in automation processing I see this when people are building room-sized projects where they want to Mount electronics securely, but it's still like exposed when you can get to it. What about like server racks Server racks. I don't think they use Din rail, but you can attach din rail to server rack. Sometimes, you know, they'll have a The server is usually go into, you know, one you slots I think din rails are I don't think that's what they use in server rooms, but I could be wrong But they you know for for other parts of the server room They might you know on the wall if they want to mount something But I see the you know, basically whenever people do large projects. It's kind of a favorite Mechanical engineers love this shit. By the way, folks are saying PLC controls inside of kiosk. It's all code closets. Yeah Yeah cabinets and closets because it's easy, you know, there's a lot of mounting holes You drill this on and then you can easily slide things around attach it detach it It's a it's a way of doing attachment and then you can Sometimes you can loosen these or you can pull this up and then you can Anyways So we have a couple din rail things like breakouts and stuff and now we just have you know a little bit of more Din rail party going on here, and that's new products
