 And, welcome to Desk of Lady Aida. Hey everybody, and welcome to Desk of Lady Aida. It's me, Lady Aida. He is Mr. Lady Aida on camera control. So, do you have any updates or news, Mr. Lady Aida? I do, we got a lot going on today. So, first up, I'm going to go to your computer. Okay. So, please go to adafruit.com. Yeah, so this is our month-long celebration of all things Retro Mac. There was a cool artist that did this artwork, and then we added our little Adafruit thing. If you go to margentosh.com, but don't do that, because we're just going to show the page, has all the things that you can do. That's a picture of you right there, if you scroll down a little bit from a quick take to 100. That's a 27-year-old digital camera. So, scroll up a little bit to your picture. Not so bad for 27 years old. And then scroll down a little bit more. So, you can see, we spent a lot of time on all the different places that you can find Margentosh information. Wow. And then I want you to go to Adafruit's Tumblr. So, if you go to tumblr.com slash adafruit or adafruit.tumblr.com, we're trying something new, because there's a lot of Retro stuff over on Tumblr. Also, Twitter is kind of a shitty place. So, we want to put the content where people are nicer and share it, and we'll appreciate it. We're on Twitter. You know, we get death threats. That's just how it is. So, this is the post of today that we did. Some history about the Power CD. And then if you scroll down, you can see yesterday's... I love how big this is. It's a multimedia kit. I remember this. Everybody had multimedia kits. And then keep scrolling down. And I really do like the authoring tools on Tumblr. So, we posted the Quick Take 200. These are all of our cool photos that we took of the camera itself. Wow, smart media card. Don't make those... Yeah. Keep scrolling. This is a bunch of photos that we took with the camera as well. So, on Flickr, it's interesting. They keep track of all the cameras. So, the last three cameras, the last three most popular Apple cameras. So, there's 50 altogether. It's all the iPhones and stuff. But the last three is a Quick Take 200, 150. And there's another one. And I think the 100. And we... I think we're the only person on Flickr that has a photo that has the EXIF data from the... Oh, really? It had EXIF data. Yeah. But then I didn't know that EXIF was gold. Yeah. Okay. So, it's kind of neat. So, you know, for the folks who wanted to see this in its glory. So, this is the Power CD. I had one of these. This is mine. It plays CDs. Check out that Centronics. Yeah. It plays CDs. It has a big old scuzzy thing in the back. We posted up the video that kind of promotes this thing too. You'll see that in a second. I just have the beginning footage come in. It has some really neat retro music and stuff like that. And something very unusual for Apple, which is they have a cartoon character that tells you all about what the Power CD is. And they just don't do that anymore. Like, E-World was maybe the most cartoony they got. But like, what is this? It's like a penguin with a... A bow tie? With a bow tie. And I just posted up a snippet of what this is and all the things that... That's quite something. Yeah. And they did this in partnership with Codex. So, anyways, the entire month there's going to be cool retro stuff and more. So, that's my news. We'll be doing show and tell and asking an engineer this week and check out all this neat stuff. Maybe a penguin with a bow tie. A blue penguin will stop by. If anyone knows any information about what this animal's name is, it's probably dead by now because it's been like 27 years. Stop saying things are dead. What? No. It's like Mr. Ed, the talking horse. That horse is gone. Yeah. Lassie dead. Benji dead. Well, how they have like the Japanese like... Yeah. Well, I'm just saying, if you've seen an animal in like popular culture and it's been like a couple of decades, didn't make it. Okay. It doesn't last forever. That's why you have to, you know, hug and kiss your pets the best you can. Okay. And penguins. So, Anyhoo, what are you working on? Okay. Transition from that. Okay. Cool. I want you to go to the overhead and I'll show the... Okay. So, last week some products. So, the week before... Let's see. The week beforehand I was showing off some... That's just kind of weirdly tilted. Why is it weirdly tilted? Hold on. Sorry. Yeah. You're on your own with that today. Yeah. I do not know. Hold on. You have to go... You have to... The camera tilts the other way. No. It's like... What? I don't know. It's just... It's got this weird like view to it. Yeah. So, the camera itself... Yeah. It twists. No. This way. Yeah. This way. Yeah, I know. No. I think that... I think the lens is just a nice lens. Okay. That's probably why. Sorry. Okay. So, I've got... I look skinny, but this looks squished. Yeah. That's because you're looking at it on a different scale. I know. Because I can't... I can't... I forgot for a moment. Okay. So, last week we did the feather... We did some featherboard. We showed the feather DVI and the feather E-ank. And then this week what I worked on is... Because I could get some canvas parts again. I released some very old designs that you... that were for canvas control. And we actually have a circuit python library for native can support and a lot of chips as well as the MCP 2515, which is a very popular SPI to canvas converter. So, canvas is... I actually don't know a lot about canvas, but it's often referred to as an automotive protocol. It uses two wires and you can hang stuff off of it. And you see here I've got it receiving messages that are being transmitted by this fellow over here. This is a feather M4 can. That's a SAM E-51, which has a native can peripheral. And it still needs a transceiver. So, you can see here there's a can transceiver. And then you tend to have three or four wires. Three wires means you have the low, high, because differential and ground wire. And then sometimes the fourth wire for power, so 12 volts. None of these have a buck converter though. So, it's just signal and ground. The two signals and ground. So, this is a can transceiver. So, even if you have a can peripheral, you still need to have something that does the differential signal thing. And that's almost never done on chip. You tend to have a separate chip that does that. And they're very inexpensive. So, this is the TJA 1051, which we actually covered on the great search like two years ago. But again, we couldn't get it for a few years. Now they're available again. The chip shortage is a memory gone by. And then we've got a little boost converter that gives you five volts from the 3.3, because it's three volt logic. Sorry, can is five volt logic, but the input to this is three volt input output. You just have arcs and TX. You can get messages and then there's a silent. It's labeled here sleep. It's actually silent. You can disconnect. And then on this board, the termination you can turn on or off and the termination to 120 ohms. So can bus is not a low power protocol. You have to sync current into 120 ohms on either side. So it's kind of hefty, but it's designed to be very reliable. It's kind of cool. I think it was designed by Bosch. It's a very cool protocol. So this board is acting as a can receiver, so it's receiving messages. And this, the ESP 32 series has built in can peripherals. So the chips that have built in can are the Sammy 51, all the ESP 32s. I think every ESP 32 has can built in STM 32 F405. Definitely has it and some STM 32 F4s. The RP 2040 does not, although there's at least one implementation where they bit bang can. And the problem is that it's like not a full, complete implementation. That's also under GPL, which we don't like to include in circuit Python. Do you think what other chips? Sammy 21 definitely doesn't. You need to use an add-on. You know, whatever you can look. NR 52 doesn't either. I think you have to add, you have an add-on. So like most chips don't, the ESP 32 is kind of an exception that all of them do. And so you can use an inexpensive, you know, couple dollar transceiver instead of, you know, you just connect arcs and TX lines and you're done for. And the protocol is all handled inside the chip. Do you want to do questions as they come in or? Yeah, sure. Okay. I thought can bus was 12-volt logic. Does it run on multiple voltages? You can run on different voltages, but it tends to be five-volt logic. It's differential five volt. 12 volts is just the power that usually goes in. And it is okay to run it at higher voltages. I think it's safe. Add up to plus or minus 20, I think. But don't quote me on that. Look at the transceiver. But the data is like, you know, digital logic. It's differential logic. It just matters with the voltages. I think it's a little bit like RS 232, where like technically it can go plus or minus 10 volts. But what you really see most often is like plus or minus five or plus or minus six. But, you know, it's safe to go at higher voltages. But that's only point to point. This one is multi-point. And this is a feather wing that you can use. So like, you know, you have your RP 2040, which again doesn't have a native can peripheral. An easy way to add it is to use the MCP 2515, which was like severely restricted during the chip shortage was really unavailable. So this design is a couple of years old and like totally just got just delayed. But now this chip is back again and at the reasonable price of about like a dollar or two. You know, there's still people who are like, this is worth 30 bucks. And that's not a question. Why would someone use campus if they're not connecting to a car? It is, you know, it's a reliable protocol that a lot of roboticists use because it's it's only two wires. But it has like, you know, multiple things can send data at any time. Right. So you have, you know, what would in ice, what's he be called like multi-master. But I see pretty much is you have one controller multiple peripherals and you pull them and you request data. What's nice about can is anybody can send messages at any time. And there's collisions. Right. So, you know, you have to, you, it detects when there's a collision, you can resend it. That's not true of UART, which is one point to one point to I squared C wave one controller peripherals. So it's called can. It stands for control, control area network or something. Oh yeah. So yeah, it's something area network is like pan when can cool can can. So the MCP 2515 is is another way of doing it. And this goes over SPI. So it's, you know, you can use it with any chip. And it's like insanely popular. And like everyone has used the MCP 2515. Apparently first robotics uses it as a standard, which makes sense. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, you know, because it's, it's very reliable against, because differential in this high voltage, it's reliable against noise and a lot of motor controllers tend to use it. And then there's an optional DE nine, you know, edge amount. So if you, if you saw our DE nine on here, because a lot of can devices have a DE nine as the, the plug, so you could solder that on. But again, you know, I tend to go with the terminal blocks and then you got the reset button and then the transceiver and then your signal out. So a couple of different ways of doing it. We've got the, you know, the, the transceiver board, the feather wing, and then you go back to the computer. And I can quickly show what the code looks like. So this is, you know, we have again, in circuit Python, we have support. So this is with a 2515. It's very easy. You can receive, you can use the interrupt, which is nice because it'll tell you when there's data waiting, it has a little bit of buffer inside of it. You can send messages quite simply. There's a addressing, there's identifiers, and it runs pretty fast. So that's can. And then this is the can wing. So this has got many revisions because I did 2515 and then I went to the 25625 and then that was unavailable. So that's the 215 and then that was unavailable. This kind of went through and you can see like the dates. It's just like, okay, like around 2020, I was like trying to design this and I just eventually sort of said like, I can't do this anymore and I just put it on pause. But it's going to come soon. For the RP2040, I'm still waiting for my first bones board. So that's why I haven't published the bones files yet. But in the meantime, I did design two more. So one, I was working on this can staff. So I was like, let's make a can bus version. Again, there is a bit bank version for the RP2040, but I wanted, it's like, I think it uses a lot of PIs and I kind of wanted to like just use something reliable so have an external chip that does it. So like, I didn't want to do any like funky tricks with this one. I think with can best people kind of want reliability and something that's like known to work well. So the thing is I couldn't fit the 2515 and the transceiver in here. Like it's even available on like a TSOP and they still couldn't fit it. So instead I went with the MCP25625, which is like literally a 2515 plus a transceiver in one package. And it's just like you literally just wire bond. It's like you just wire it together. It's like the two chips except it's just one package and it's in a QFN. And I still have a little boost converter to give me the five volts because you still need five volts. There's an optional termination that you can remove here. And yeah, so this is a feather can, which I think will be fun because it's a RP2040. And again, you know, it's like I'm kind of burnt out on using SAMD21s and SAMD51s for stuff. I think instead of the feather M4 can, I'm happy to sell it. But this will be cheaper and you know, I think it's more available. I still think those can, the SAMD51s are going to be available for like another year. So moving on along. And then I also designed, oh, the USB host version. I'll answer your question while. Yeah. I'm almost done. Yeah. Well, that's loading up. So question are people seeing products in the Raspberry Pi product line like available at regular prices yet? I'm seeing offers increase, but still price unfairly. So we're the only, I'm just going to, you know, I'm kind of, I've been awake all day today. So everybody sucks and everyone's raising the prices of Raspberry Pi's and we still do a limited one per customer. But some people decide that that's their invitation to be really shitty to our entire team because no, you can't buy five. And no, you can't play all these games where you start putting different addresses and you can't call our team names and you can't do all that. And like, they're just like real entitlement lately. Like we're being so fair. And yeah, it's one way. Sure. And it's like, we actually do one per and some people are like, how dare you actually, I should be special. Yeah. And so whatever, you're not a snowflake. Yeah, whatever, whatever the Raspberry Pi prices are on Adafruit, that's the price directly from the Raspberry Pi foundation, the Raspberry Pi trading corp. We don't add any extra money on it. It's whatever that they set it to. We don't raise the prices like everyone else. And we limit one per customer so that most people can get it. But like I said, just right before we got on air, there was like someone on Twitter like threatening us because we wouldn't sell them more than one. And they were like cursing in our team. So... I'll be like that. So the thing is, they pick on us. I don't see them picking on others because we're available. You're a woman online. We have a cool team that's diverse. So that's their invitation to just be shitty to us. So my opinion, the prices aren't the real problem. It's just the way people are treating one another because something's not available. And they're taking it on us. So I don't know. I hope people find something in their life that makes them happy because I don't think getting another Raspberry Pi is going to fix the giant fucking hole in their soul. If you're freaking out about not getting another Raspberry Pi, another Raspberry Pi isn't going to solve the problem. Yeah, guess what? If you have two Raspberry Pi's, you're still going to be a miserable jerk. Anyways. So don't be like that. Tell people not to be like that. Makes us... I mean, we'll still do it, but it's like it's not going to... We're not going to be like, wow, you are a total dick. I'm going to like make... I'm going to do you a favor. Like, it's the opposite. We really need to think about it. Okay. So that's the Canva stuff. And, oh, the USB host is really fast before we move on to the great search. So this is... This is the kind of fun, weird hacky feather. So this is the RP2040. And this time I've got a really big boost converter. This is a TPS60-1023. So it'll give me up to one amp from the battery or, you know, USB, whatever you've got this powered from. And then this is a USB-A that you can like plug something into. And we do have a USB-B-Bang host implementation that we've implemented... that was implemented by Seagawk, I think, on GitHub. And... sorry, they implemented it with PIOs and then we added that into TV USB. And so we have been able to do like mass storage and CDC and I think even HID, USB host. It's not like guaranteed, but it's kind of fun if you want to do something like a HID remapper or maybe like you want to do data logging to a USB key or you want to have a USB serial from some device. It's like USB serial only and you can't get to the serial pins. This can be kind of neat. So I thought this would be kind of a cool, you know, like we've used it on the tester brains that I've showed in previous shows. But now we'd have a feather for it. And then Philly sent me this as a really cool over on Digikey, which is leading into the great search. Over on Digikey, they do have this awesome RGB USB-A. So you can see that there is like the USB data pins and power pins. And then there's four extra pins that are used for RGB and common anode. So you can like connect up like a NeoPixel driver to this. So let's go. I'll just show this real fast. So let's go to sorry, Digikey.com. Let's see if I can just rename the URL. No, that's not how it works. Hold on. Let me get the part number. Yeah. So it's 5, 4, 0, 0, 2, 6, 6. So check this out. Could be really fun to have like a, you know, glowing like a little RGB motherboard USB board. Okay. You want to any last question before you move on to so once those are rolling window on the one part. No, just right now it's one per. We'll reset it later. But one per. We just don't know. It's one per. Yeah. And then I also posted up in the chat. Liz from Raspberry Pi was here not too long ago and we talked about supply chain stuff and plenty of pies on the way. It'll just take a little bit of time. And, you know, I know what'll happen is the people that were really terrible will be like, oh, sorry, I was so terrible, but now can I get one and like, you know, Don't be like that. Yeah. This is why no one wants to like do electronics, by the way. It's like the it's not the electronics. It's like four or five people that are just absolute terror on every company, including us and mostly targeting us who think they deserve more than one Raspberry Pi and they don't. It's not fair. There's not enough. There's enough. Yeah. So like we have something good going on. Anyways, what's next? Let's go to the great search. Yeah. You want to search for like Raspberry Pi or something? The great search brought to you by did you gain a different every single legal more users or powers of engineering to help you find the things that you need on digikey.com. What is the great search this week? Okay. This week, we had a very popular project. The floppy disk USB drive and it uses a pipe portal and the pipe portal, which also I can hold on in the shop. I'll share the pipe portal because this was actually. Oh, sorry. Yes. It's a good computer because it's actually having the fancy digikey logo. This was a partnership project that we did with digikey, but it's a little bit old. It is long in the tooth as they say, which is weird because like people's teeth don't get longer. But anyways, it's a samdi 51 plus an ESP 32 and it could use a re spinning because this is, you know, quite a few years old now. We can finally get more chips and also like this did suffer a lot from the part shortage because the samdi 51 wasn't available. And one thing that's kind of neat is the new ESP 32 s three chips that are out now. So this is like the ESP 32 box. Let me just go to a dev board. I don't think we have a dev kit that has a TFT yet. So we have some dev kits. So one of the peripherals that's available on the ESP 32 s three, let me pull up the data sheet is, oh, this is not the full. This is not the full debt sheet, I think, but one of the interesting peripherals that's available on the ESP 32 s three is that it can drive TTL displays. Like so normally, like on the, the pipe portal, what we've got is a parallel display that's like eight. We've got here is a 320 by 240 SPI or like 6, 6,800 or 8080 type display where you're using the frame buffer inside of the display. It has memory inside and you write to it with SPI. You just kind of like send pixels really fast, but you, you know, you write the pixels and they're, they're stayed on the display and these displays are great for microcontrollers with low memory because you just say like, okay, I want to write some pixels over in the corner. You put those displays. There's another kind of display where you write TTL data. It's called TTL data or dot clock is another way they're called. And so these are second TFT five inch. So these displays, the five inch like TFT 40 pen, these, you have to write the data continuously and the VRAM is stored on the device. So they have a less refresh, we fresh flicker because you write the entire display at once. Like you're constantly rastering the display on, but you have to have something that has a peripheral to do that you can't bit bang it because you have to be drawing the pixels very quickly. But the tradeoff is you can drive much bigger displays. SPI displays, they tend to max out at like maybe 320 by 480. But usually they're 320 by 240. And once you get to 480 by 320, it actually gets a little slow. It's like tough to actually draw that much display. You get low frame rate. Whereas with these TTL displays, these TFT displays, you can go quite fast. So I thought we'd go, or just a key, don't forget they have these cool RGB USB ports. And let's look for TFT display. Okay, so a couple options here, but even though it's not a, so literally like a TFT is a kind of LCD, but usually LCDs mean something different. Still, it would be under the Opto electronics graphic display. And one thing that's interesting is that DigiKey has a really wide range. So first off, you've got displays like this, and you can even tell it doesn't have that many pins. So you know that this isn't a TTL, like dot clock style display. This is like SPI, most likely. But this isn't always indicated. So this one's like SPI and then parallel 16-bit RGB. This usually means that it's still, like you have to write 8 to 16 pins and you latch it. So it still has the memory inside. But there should be a couple options that are bigger. So yeah, now once you get to like this, when you see like that 40-pin display at the bottom, the 40-pin connector, these tend to be TTL. So let's take a look at what these are called, because you can see they're all mixed up together. Like there is, you know, this style, and then there's like this plug-in style, the ones with 40 pins, but this one is SPI. You know, it's still confusing. So let's go over here. So these are called parallel 24-bit RGB, which makes sense, because you end up having to have 24 pins for 8 red, 8 green, 8 blue, and then you have v-sync, h-sync, dot clock, and then enable, display enable or something. So let's look for other displays of this type. So I'm actually going to cheat. I'm going to go over here, and I'm just going to select color TFT and parallel 24-bit RGB. And they also only want active. And there's actually quite a few options, and let's sort by price. So 4.3 inches is another popular size. This was really popular for GPS and like handheld gaming. Please note that there's also a couple of times where you get displays, and they have like backpacks and stuff built into them. So just watch out for that. There's resistive touch, which you can see this has kind of like a white outline, kind of see that like whitish outline. So it's a resistive touch screen. And then if you see this, like a black bezel that's capacitive, and then it has a separate, you see there's like a tail. That's the capacitive touch screen. So a lot of options. You're going to see 4.3 inch, 5 inch, 7 inch. Those are going to be the most popular. Three and a half. Sometimes you see 320 by 240. But I'll be honest, when if I'm doing a 320 by 240 display, I'll go with SPI. So let's go for, I think 4.3 is kind of boring. Let's go for a 400 by 800 display. And let's say it's in stock. I can pick up something today and not in the marketplace. Okay. So it's 35 options. Okay. There's one for that we stock. A nice seven inch displays available. And there's a few vendors. You'll see it pop up a couple of times. So DLC, New Haven, NHD, Micro, you can see again, this is capacitive because there's got the, it's got the secondary tail. That's the capacitive chip. I want to go with, let me see what's available here. So let's see if I can get something with, you know, maybe capacitive touch. And I think I want a five inch display. Oh, I think, hold on. Oops, I mis-selected something. One moment. This I wanted to look for. Okay. Okay. Well, you're doing that. How do you even write drivers for these as one of the questions? Oh, that's a really good question. So for these, I'll send some other questions after the second. Yeah. So I think I mis-selected the touch screen. Okay. Don't forget you can always remove stuff at the bottom here. For these displays, the driver is almost always written by the company that makes the chip because in a sense there is no driver. Sometimes you initialize them over I squared C or SPI just to get them like up and running. But then once they're running, you're literally just like slamming pixels to it as quickly as possible. There is no, I mean, you can set the H sync polarity and B sync and you can set that the timing data, but there's no like driver in the same sense that a SPI display has a driver. Okay. So I actually wanted to show a couple more things. So one, 40 systems has displays, but these have a UART connection. So they're not like a raw, even though it looks like it's a raw display, they're not. And then AZ and New Haven and DLC are the ones that have, oh yeah, this is the one. Sorry, it was resistive, not capacitive. AZ displays has a lot of options available. So you can check them out. So they've got the one that I thought was really neat is they have a high brightness five inch IPS display. So IPS displays, you know, one thing that you can watch for is when you get, if it doesn't say IPS, like this one doesn't have IPS in the title, that means it's kind of visible only from like 20 to 40 degrees. Whereas IPS, you're going to get like your modern smartphone where like you can look at it from like 80 to 85 degrees in every angle. So the actual display that I liked is this one. Not only is it IPS, but it's nice and bright 400 nits and you can compare different brightness like the backlight brightness will differ between them. And then this one also, there's another option. I think this is probably maybe a slightly different brightness, but this one for 40 bucks is a really good deal. Because it's got IPS 800 by 40 pixels five inch display and it's got that parallel port, the parallel RGB dot clock for the ESP 32 S3. Note that it doesn't have that many IO. So even though it's just 24 bit color, what you'll do is ground the bottom three or four pins of each RG and B to get yourself 16 instead of 24 bit color, you'll have 16 bit color, just like kind of good enough for most uses. And then those bottom bits, you just ground them or you tie them together. So you don't need as many GPIO. So just because the display has, you know, 24 bits of input, you don't actually write data at all 24 bits. You just ground the lower bits, write the upper bits and then you can, you even technically dry these as like eight bit color, right? You're only going to get three, you know, bits red, three bits green, two bits blue. But because it's raw driven, it doesn't, there's no formatting of the data. So whatever gets written on every dot clock is what appears on the screen. So I'm going to make a board that takes the ESP32 S3 and has the 40 pin connector or plug it in, but it's a standard connector and I can swap out different displays to make it a really nice big pipe portal. So I'm going to pick up one of these nice IPS five inch displays. And that's a great search. Okay, lined up a bunch of questions. Yes. First off, Todd, but I gifted you a horse on Tumblr. You wouldn't understand, lady. I'm on Tumblr. I don't know this. I'm on Tumblr culture. Okay, you're a Tumblrina. I gave Todd a horse. You can gift a horse. Okay. So I gifted a horse. Good. Okay. So here's some questions. So remember the doom, the little tiny doom device we did? Yeah. So someone one knows an update on it. I'll answer this one. The answer is yes. We have a lot of stuff that we're finally getting tips for. So who knows, could be a future eight box, could be a future product. Don't worry. It's all happening. So stay tuned. You'll see updates. Next up. Evan recently said that we shouldn't expect a Pi five this year. I'm currently playing with a red AXA, red AXA, rock five. Yeah. Rock five B based rock chip, two times faster than a Pi four. Anyone in Adafruit playing with anything from orange pie, rad Shah, Kada's or others. These are a lot. We support orange pie. And I think we're at show. Yeah. In in Blinka. So let's go. Let's see. Yeah. Go to go to circuit python.org. I think. So one of the things that we did, we knew that there's lots of Linux computers out there. Blinka runs across. Tons and tons and tons of these. So if you want to not have to rewrite all of your code. Use Blinka. Yeah. So Blinka runs on, I don't know if we have. Reg. Yeah. The red she's zero rock, Pi four C work, Pi eight S. And if you want to add support, we have a guide on how to add support for more chips. So you could run our circuit python libraries on it. I'll say, I'll say there's dozens of these constantly being made. So I don't have them all. But if they're in this list or you want to add them. Yeah. You get, you know, you basically get to use all our circuit python libraries. I can't tell you who, but a lot of people in history use Blinka because they're. Using a lot of Linux, single board computers. So it's a lot of people. There's a lot of people in industry that use. Oh yeah. But like, you know, they tell us, but I can't tell anybody because, you know, they don't want to, you know, that's. Well, it's just a wrapper. It just means like, you don't have to write drivers over and over again. Okay. Someone made an observation. They said, watching all the YouTube videos of all these different boards, it seems like, I'll just paraphrase here. It's just tough getting Linux to run all these. Well, it's really hard. I mean, like a, like a laptop made for Linux, like driver stuff. This is, it's really hard. There's no support. And to be honest, even, even like the, the R&B and folks were like, we're so sick of it. Okay. I remember, I mean, Linus Torvald, it's like the last outbreak, outburst he had was about how much he hated all these boards because they were driving nuts. Any chance your mini color TFT with joystick feather wing, getting back stock or being redone. It's being redone because every part of it got discontinued. Okay. Does the ice by connector include pins for touch or would that be a separate thing if it's touch display? There's a touch, there's pins on the ice by for touch. There's the TS chip select. So it's touch screen chip select if it's SPI. And there's, you know, I might not have the context of this one, but maybe you do more. These would be dot clock displays. First time I've heard that term was in K matches hack table giveaway. Yeah. They're called, they're called dot clock. I mean, like the weird thing is that they're, they were kind of the first TFT displays. And so they don't really have a name in a weird way. They're not like SPI displays. They're called sometimes dot clock, sometimes parallel RGB, but there's also like parallel, like latched RGB. I just call them like TTL 40 pin, but like TTL means nothing. It's like, it's just the logic level, right? So I think dot clock is technically the correct term because they had a dot clock. Okay. Next. Why do they use two bits for blue? Is the human eye less sensitive there? I don't know what that's. Well, it's just like you pick and choose, but usually traditionally, you know, blue is the first thing that gets dropped and then green, you get to keep. And you know, note over like a five, six, five, it's like green has six bits or something. Blinka supports 101 boards, right? We just celebrated 100 boards not too long ago. Yes, we did. Yeah. Next up, will Blinka work on a Linux desktop? Yes, it does. There you go. Yeah. And you would, you can use like an FT232H. Yeah. With that to get GPIO. Yeah. We spent a lot of time on this because we're like, you know what? Why redo everything over and over and over and over again? Forever. Yeah. Look at it. Look at it. And here's the thing. You can use Blinka while you're waiting for pies to come back a second. All your stuff will still work. That's all right. All right. Let me see if there's any more questions on the other side. We're going to do any PyPortal updates. Yeah. Parts are coming back. That's right. Because we're going to redo it. Oh, someone. Oh, when we redesigned PyPortal, will it work with the CircuitPython Web workflow? Yeah, it should. And because the ESP32-S3, like they have a version with like ridiculous amounts of RAM. I think it'll be really fun. Like you'll be able to do like pretty big projects. They have like versions with like eight megabytes of PSRAM. Yeah. Just super sweet. And then. Most RAM. Someone said hope life's going good for you and I in the little one. Yes. Oh, thank you. In fact, we, she's here right now. And she's just sleeping through the show. So super chill. Yes. Nice. She had an exciting day today. Yeah. Very exciting. Yeah. Today, she tried new foods. New foods. First time in her life. She had some foods. Apples. Yeah. Apples. Okay. Okay. That's it. Thanks everybody. See everybody throughout the week. Thank you so much for spending time with us. We'll be seeing you this week on show and tell and ask an engineer. And don't forget the entire month is March and Tosh. You'll see some of the lesser known Mac accessories. So, you know, a lot of people have the other retro stuff covered. I'm going weird. Yeah. I'm going super weird. You gotta get your Newton 2000 out. I'm going super weird. So you'll just see weird Mac related stuff. We haven't seen 30. From decades ago. It's true. Check it out. Okay. Thanks everybody. Have a great night. Bye bye. Bye bye.
