 This week's top secret is a twofer first We're going to show a new line of things we're making and then we're going to tell you what we're calling them so the raspberry pi Pico W's out and everyone's calling it pike house and they're saying well What do we call these and they're like we'll call it a herd And then everyone's like these are cows pike house cows cows cows cows Everyone likes cows and so this is our one of our first Well, we'll tell you what we're calling these but this is a Pico W permanent prototyping add-on you plug it in you can solder it socket it So, you know, it's like a it's like a proto feather wing or proto shield But as a reset button and it goes underneath the raspberry pi pico or p cowl Yeah, and one of the things is so there was shield with Arduino. There are feather wings. There is hats There was gizmos gizmos was a beagle bone capes capes and so we're like well, what are we going to call these things and Usually lady will tell me like go in the weekend or something like that like hey like here's something we're doing Here's a product line that we're coming up with. What are some of the names? Let's go check with our Trademark and copyright lawyers and all this stuff to make sure we're not doing anything with someone else's name so we're calling these bells and specifically cowbells and Let me just give you a little history. So back in the day when we first started doing robotics and circuit Python I did this project and I should say Jeff Epler Jepler came up with the name cowbells and this was one that like it's been in the back of the mind forever It's like, oh, maybe we'll have like a thing called bells But he came up with it and I'm just like, oh, that's it. I'm so like one. I was relieved I didn't have to like go to that path to find it But the other thing was like, oh, this this fulfills the destiny of a thing we want to do So we did this project with cricket that used Circuit Python it was fairly new at the time as far as robotics and I wanted to do an homage to The SNL skit with Christopher walk-in about more cable So I'm just gonna play a little bit of that maybe at the end of the show I'll play the whole thing, but I'll just show you Where where some of this? Came from Yes, that's a smoke machine. Yes, that's a little more designing electronics in the background. Yes, that's what we do at night So that's just a start of it and maybe I'm not shamed. Yeah, maybe I'll play the video later. So We had this idea it's like, okay bells. It's here. We're gonna do a cricket cowbell. Don't worry But then we're like, okay Now we can do some of these logos and stuff that we've been thinking about so there's always We're always trying to figure out a way to to use a UFO and a cow, but we're not gonna do that So then we came up with Well, let's do bells and have it look like a cow We're not gonna use the ones that have any Raspberry Pi logo elements as cool as it would be but it's fun to play around in graphic design But we did move towards like okay. This is like a pretty neat thing. It's black and white. It'll go on PCBs It's a bell. It's cow like for some people who remember like gateway electronics and they did computers That's kind of neat. And so we like the idea of these being called bells for the pie cows and then More cowbell so every time we release one more cowbell And when Lady-Aid is like, well, what should I do today? I'll be like more cowbell and You know, we have some of the art ready to go and then of course You know, I wouldn't love drying cows. Yeah Yes, what I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell More cowbell So that's this week's top secret and now you know what it's like to live in our heads. Yes, okay
