 Hey, we're back good back hosting everybody to the show and tell this is a different show and tell pager this is the best place to show off your diy projects whether it be electronics or custom PCBs three printing uh cosplay stuff it's always game cool to see it's gonna start off with a couple of 80 fruit folks and then uh check out what everybody in the community is working on going to start off with melissa hello hello so i had a live stream on circuit python day on friday and uh i want to have a couple of these little robots that i built here with the one of the mini cars available in the 80 fruit store and in 80 fruit clue and i just kind of want to give a little demo of one of these here so i'm gonna just go ahead and turn that on and i have an ipad here um but the player there but i'm gonna okay now it's on so i'm going to connect to it and then i'll go to the keypad and then i can use it to kind of drive around here and it even shows like the different direction it's going with the arrow and i want to stop it i can hit one and then i can have it also spin in place and i can have it so like it turns on the little lights or turns it off with the ipad here and then i can just have a change different colors and i can go to the color picker if i want to and then choose that color and send it and it'll actually just change it on the bottom here so let me get back to the control pad oops and there it is and in my live stream i basically uh put together one of these little cars here and then i just kind of went over all the different uh code on my uh on the different on the clue here awesome very cool so it's using uh bluetooth obviously yes yes yes all right that's so cool we have a bluetooth robot that we wanted to do so we'll definitely be looking at your code and the project okay yeah yeah i'm gonna uh i wanted to write up a guide about that and then uh i just have the code right now on my uh personal github repo so sweet we will keep a lookout when they get pushed out and if anybody wants to see all of the uh streams from trigger python day we have a playlist already and set up on our youtube channel so everybody can check that out so we're awesome yeah i catch up on those streams thanks so much Melissa cool yeah yeah thank you right next up we got jeff hey there jeff so i have a friend who's moving out of the country and that means getting rid of 99 percent of your stuff and he is a computer geek and i've been getting some cool stuff from him so this is as far as i've been able to figure out a connectix quick cam color it's got the fcc sticker on it so i was able to look that information up this was before the company was bought by logitech who was like an early webcam person and it's got a parallel port on it for data and two different kinds of keyboard plug remember these uh for power and so what i'm hoping is that i can discover enough like in old linux source code about how the parallel port works to make this work with our p2040 talking to it instead of a pc so that's just in the dream uh steps at this time but you know since i'm doing all this camera work why not go back to a really vintage um and kind of iconic i also need to make the uh the 3d printed stand for it because it sits on this triangular stand you may remember if you have that in your mind yes this is 1996 1996 is when this camera yeah dude that is like that is first but candles are first why can't really that looks yeah by that time it was logitech i can think great i don't um it worked on our mac we had a mac yeah yeah it probably wasn't this particular one but yeah the the triangular pattern here and here means it's from when it was connectix brand yeah and i'm guessing logitech bottom there's a lot of different ones that look like this yeah it focuses i've been fishing with that can you show me the bottom is that a quarter 20 tripod screw i am pretty sure that it is oh that's great we have a lot of those uh little screw adapters in the shops you want to get those you can work your print yeah i was just i'm working on a 3d model right now of the base and i was trying to figure out how to get that underside uh circular curve because if i if you want it to adjust up or down oh yeah that's right the screw needs to move and my 3d modeling is okay but that's kind of that's like the diameter good diameter of the the circle and just yeah yeah okay well yeah that's what i'm up to yeah i'm sure there will be more because there's some cool stuff that i'm getting from my friend how cool all of your lives from portal right you should take like some snatch ups of like i'm sure there's a pile of something it's yeah um it's right back here you can't see oh you already got it oh yeah awesome thanks so much yeah you all take care thank you it's a great blast from the past yeah awesome let's see if we still have arts no that thing is it's long gone yeah sorry okay next up is Liz hello hey how's it going um i've been working with some arduino stuff and unity so right now this is a metro running some arduino code with a nine-dof sensor and there's a c-sharp script that's controlling this bunny so when i tilt the teleometer around we're getting bunny movements so this is going to be a learn guide um it'll have like this simple example um i need to fine tune some of the values a little bit um and then it will also i'm hoping have a slightly more advanced example to show like some game control maybe like moving stuff around with accelerometer um so yeah i had never used unity before um so this has been a little bit of a steep learning curve but once you get it it's pretty simple like um i added in the bunny action in the last like half hour so oh wow that looks good i think the first thing that comes in my mind is because we we've been watching the um what is it the light magic yeah the island documentary yeah the island documentary when they're showing like the dino input thing so i could imagine a bunch of these like on different like joints so like a puppet or a play animation guy or whatever stop motion guy can sit there and digitize all of the those animations so yeah you can definitely do like puppeteering with it and that's a cool idea maybe i can try to get more than one going um to move different things um so that sounds good it's good thought so cool yeah we'll send you over the little adobot model too i know the martin the mark said no cubes and adobots are cute but you can kind of see the detail yeah it's a cube personally what was the hard work and is it all stemma so no soldering right yeah this is just stemma um just plug it in um hard part was just like figuring out how unity works um and how to like get the stuff going yeah that's but now i'm there okay cool good progress that's amazing for uh just a day cool please all right have a good check in with you next time too right next up is mark gambler hey mark are you there you are yeah and i'm guessing you're doing your own uh there we go it's emet yeah so i was having let me see if i can a little bit more focused oh there you are after seeing uh some lego lighting kits um and i know adafruit started selling some little uh surface mount leds uh with soldered pre-soldered wires i just wanted to try it out most of these kits sell for pretty large amount almost as much as the actual lego kit sells so i wanted to see well what can i do on my own even if i have to buy the leds uh it turns out it's really easy to control them with circuit python um so i just did this when i got home from work today uh a little bit of frustration on trying to solder to something that's only the size of a small green array rice but uh i got emet working and then i also got this one working where i have the lego globe and i've now got a little marker showing where i live on it ask that's where you live how cool nice so these are all wired right yeah these are wired so inside the globe it's actually hollow so i was able to um there's a qt pi rp2040 hooked up just to resistor and then the leds just poking up through there and a battery somewhere dangling on the inside of it uh but yeah so it's really no it's though there's little gaps between the panels so there's just two it's 30 gauge wire so you can barely see it okay yeah that just sneaks inside um and yeah it works really really nicely so now i'm probably gonna buy a bunch of leds that are pre-soldered to save my sanity but when it comes to the controllers there's no point spending that's the expensive part of most of these cats yeah um so i might as well make them myself and i've got more lego than i want to admit so it's something that we have so many doll in boxes though yeah so uh yeah maybe next time i'll have the spaceship wired up and it'll actually light up yes very cool dude i love seeing like this stuff especially with leds so yeah the leds just add that extra little part to it yeah it definitely does does the globe actually spin around yeah this globe totally spins i actually love this globe it looks so cool i've actually thought of trying to put a motor on it stop show me because then it's like no i don't think it's like $200 it's not paid attention to that part of it dang it i saw nothing all right all right thanks so much mark you know what really sucks is that you get what is the 30 off and you go to lego lane it's like no why all right let's see john all right hey john we're gonna check with john from the community hello welcome to show you guys oh i see us in the ceiling what's on the line oh that's cool so i had this idea a while back i wanted to make ceiling stars for my kids you can see it's still very much a work in progress um i don't even know how to get you guys to see the other side oh it's blocked by the fan well that's depressing um let me see here we go it's a work in progress oh there we go yeah so it's just a little um i can use it as i promise sorry about that uh so it's just a little hollow shell that i printed out okay so that's the top half right uh none of the back half uh i have a little um there's got a couple of things so you can just clip it on right and then there's an rgb led in here and then i found found some super thin like audio wire from mono price and i thought that would work great because i don't want to drill holes and run things through the ceiling right is that yeah my wife would not no no that would not go at all no so i tried using that super thin wire he actually you can see the wire right so so that plan didn't work as well as i wanted but but it did work and one lights are off around yeah i could see it yeah yeah that's true sweet yeah i'm thinking of like sure that's cool i could see it as like you know those Christmas uh trees where it's like just wires that are like doing like a little spiral going down from the short in the ceiling yeah it's a really good way to do it yeah i like the masking so it lends them with the color of the ceiling so pretty cool it's all good wire colors so i have to figure out the how to hide a little Arduino up here yeah more white tape i was gonna say just like a white box or something that like covers it yeah i could yeah i was thinking maybe have him like the lid be a button so you just like push the lid no turn it on go for three months and turn it off or maybe a board that is on whippersnapper okay oh that's how you take control wirelessly control all that turn it off that way some ideas you don't have to but always get a rope it into whippersnapper now i'm sure folks will have some ideas in the discord too awesome look at those john yeah thanks for sharing some back with uh any more questions all right see ya all right all right fantastic projects everybody thank you so much i feel more awake and ready to i think the dog is uh thankful for a short show he's gonna get his walk in it's all right yeah i don't know anywhere uh you get a nice little interlude so uh make sure to come back at eight p.m is your time for the marne phil ask an engineer to forget that attempts to send off coupon code okay and everybody in the chat room the discord chat thank you folks so well that's it i guess next week is projects is jp's hosting yeah so back to marne phil after that yeah uh yeah thanks so much for showing off your awesome projects guys bye everybody bye
