 What is this lady? Hey everybody and welcome to show and tell it's me Lady Aida with me Mr. Lady Aida on camera control behind the mic We've got a bunch of people from the food community and the larger maker hacker community come by and then I show us what they're working on We're excited to see it Come on by we're here for the 20 25 minutes, and then we're on to ask engineer Yeah, and a programming note next week show it's all still on no Pedro are gonna be the host. Thank you Thank you, and during the day of Wednesday of next week We're gonna be doing a hack chat with Lady Aida Jeff and myself So look for that 3 p.m. On hackaday hackaday. I owe will be talking about floppy So it's like a version of show-and-tell on another site and we'll be broadcasting on all of our normal social network places Like YouTube as well. So let's kick it off with Scott. Well, she let's go to Jephler. Oh, we're gonna be just yes We have to go to Jeff. Okay. This is Hey Jeff, what you got going on? Hi, so With this floppy disk stuff I've been learning a lot about emulation and the reason you're bringing me on first is I'm gonna start this game loading and because it is a real emulation. It is gonna take about four minutes To actually boot up. So yeah, come back to me like after another one or two people That although it It's, you know, basically on super computers compared to what it started off with it still takes a certain amount of time to boot up Yeah, I mean the emulator Emulates it has to emulate All of the details of the floppy drive and how it actually works So inside it it's keeping track of the rotations of the floppy drive and running the 6502 instructions and it's amazing software And it's on the internet archive and you can just Use it. So that's all right. So we're starting now and we're gonna check back and it's gonna be like a cooking show Exactly. Yeah Put it in the oven for four minutes. Okay, let's go back to Scott. Scott. What you get going on? Hello So, uh, folks don't know I've been working on adding belie support to the esp32 s3 The like bigger better version of the s2 that's coming soon Espressive does have these neat modules here with the two usb's that are super handy And what I've got here is I've got circuit python running on it over usb And I've got a demo here where I'm doing two things first I'm doing some web requests and then I'm doing a belie scan So I will just hit control b and it will get going Skylabs my what my wi-fi You can do it. So it does some Does some stuff and then it uh, these are all the advertisements that I got by doing a belie scan So this is the first step In the process where if if this device wanted to initiate a connection to another device scanning would be the first thing But the other thing that's really cool is I did the broadcast net thing ages ago And you had to use a raspberry pi to do that like shuffle advertisements from belie into like whatever web service you want and Essentially the s3 can do that now Yeah, which I'm very excited about And this is our first circuit python build that supports wi-fi and bluetooth in one chip, right? Yeah, yep. So there's a there's a poll request that I've got some stuff to fix During ask an engineer, but then it should be in hopefully shortly All right, nice work. All right Thank you so much scott And then we'll be talking about this this friday on deep ever scott Yep, we'll talk about it this friday and then the other thing I should say is that this is the last week for circuit python 2022 So if you have thoughts about what you'd like to see circuit python do this year, please get those out So that I can summarize them on my stream on friday, and then I'll also do the final Kind of summary blog post on friday as well. Yeah, check out the blog post that we currently have. There's a lot of good stuff Yeah, lots of cool stuff and thank you to everybody who's already Participated if you do participate, please email circuit python 2022 at aterfruit.com that'll go to phil and I and we'll get it blocked up. That's right All right. Thank you. Thanks. Let's just go back to jeff real fast. Uh jeff has your calendar 64 gone We're still on the loading screen. Okay Well, this is like a live launch or something like that. We'll get we'll be back to you. Oh wait. Wait. Oh, yeah We'll create time. That's excellent timing So, uh, let me figure out how to cut the audio here and No, what are you doing? All right, we'll listen to it. Yeah It makes it makes you sound more dramatic. You gotta Now I've lost the uh, there we go. Okay. Now I can see you again Yeah, so I'm super nostalgic about this game. So when we started the floppy project I went on ebay and bought like the real Thing this is the original retail packaging. They're like we want to imagine we're musicians and making an album New album just drops. It's a video game. And this is a new grime symbol. It just came out. It's a great Great classic game for the Commodore 64. So, uh What uh, I've accomplished this week is um, these games were copy protected And there's a format that you can read into that preserves the old copy protection called g64 You copy that floppy and Um And so I learned a lot about the formats and started writing a format converter And then realized that other people had already written all the pieces I needed and I just had to put them together And so what I got going today was the putting together of those pieces And now I can play my uh game. Uh, not only that this is up on archive.org. I will drop the link in shortly um So it's interesting is this is a this is a copy protected comma 64 disc get that we we ripped and you don't have to crack it It actually plays an emulator as if it was Right like the original official game, which is nice because now it's like it's we're really getting The native format of the disc data data. Yeah Yeah, a lot of what you'll find has been cracked So the copy protection has been removed and there are good things about that like it would have probably loaded in about 20 seconds instead of the minutes Um that it took but in a way this is kind of the most wonderful experience Most real version of the thing you get a sandwich you get ready. You're like, okay. So jeff. Here's the big question I'm going to ask you um, if if I were able to take this video and transmit it back in time to when you first played this 30 ish 40 years ago would young jeff be happy about all the things that uh Well, I mean first of all he'd be horrified that I got rid of his floppies Yeah, uh, that would that would be the big thing that I had to go buy this again But you'd have to explain ebay and all that stuff. That's kind of yeah. Yeah, it would be it would be a long discussion, but um I don't know. I think young me would have imagined still playing these games Because I mean how much were video games going to change really we were at the pinnacle Yeah, what's neat is that you're you're able to do this and then share it with a whole new Generation of people that maybe they never saw or heard about this game and all Okay, cool. Make sure you take good photos of the um, the album art and put down into the archive It's and the text in it is really interesting. It emerges that well It's made by three people uh, and westfall john freeman and paul richie the third And when you read through it you find out well john and paul kind of had an idea and and wrote the thing so It's part of this history of how how we've forgotten that you know You know the the whole gender thing in computer So it was a good reminder to read it and some of the language is maybe not the way we'd put it now, but yeah That's uh, that was I was reading that just before we came on so that was real interesting Okay, well, thanks so much up and then we're gonna do a blog post if folks can check this out soon Yeah, I will drop the link to this This archive.org although it uh, I said it as a test item So it'll be deleted after 30 days. We'll want to do something a little more permanent For a blog post up right on all right. Thanks so much. All right. See you project and more. All right. Thank you, Jeff All right now page. I would you get going on this week? Hey guys. Hey, what's up folks? Oh man, so many retro vibes Yeah, so this week we got a super simple little case for the uh feather tft So now I've made this really cool l cars inspired little graphic that's uh, just pulling in the temperature of the battery status and the uh The pressure right from the uh BMP 280 So brent had a really good idea of having like these little rails on the back of the case so you could just uh Keep stacking little stem of stem or stem out sensors back there So you have access to the port and the little buttons on the front you want to show the other side because I think there's an overhead it wasn't on Do you want to show the that you was talking about? I completely missed this. No, no, it's cool. It's just like because you like you're usually yeah, there you go I'm like used to that view. Oh, I like that l cars. I'll let it there we go. Oh, that's so cool Yeah, yeah, so It's gorgeous. I had some speaking trodo. I had some like good vibes doing like because these are as a graphic designer So doing all the way up for this pixels. So I did a nice bit map for that. It's all been sort of pythons display. I o E Thank you. Yeah, so Here's the case that we were talking about Can you put the code on the the repo because I think Yeah, I have a gist. I can drop that in the disc Okay, yeah, so The other cool thing we're showing off on 3d hangouts is um last year we did like these little lego studs for like the feather and um, Lamar wanted like some Cool graphics showing off the temperatures everything being showing off. You're like, oh crap. We did that last year Right. We did an OLED display this entire. It's kind of the same circuit, right? You got the you got the battery monitor. You got a microcontroller. You got your display Yeah, how a big deal this is that you're able to you just combine everything together and make this tiny little package And what was last year this right? Oh, yeah Yeah, so um, two nine three hangouts Happened earlier today. We go over all the CAD stuff All that we checked out like the filament that we used on it that uh, Quantum everybody's been posting Yeah, check it out in the web posted. I think earlier on the um, discord And we'll put it on the line guide that we have out for this Yeah, we'll put the font and the uh a little bit map too Yeah chat with chat with that if you need someone to put it up on learning system Just because you have to have everything together But I think I think it's worth it because that is that is like just so cool Yeah, it was kind of like last we we didn't get to film it because we're like, oh And no, but you just change that change the um main image of the the guide. Yeah, for sure. We'll use this graphic anytime We get to show these again. Don't worry Yeah, there's more first first pass. Yeah Thank you And thank you for taking care of show until next week. Yeah, we'll see y'all next time Next up brant brant. What you got going on this week? Hi, um, I have some uh progress on whipper snapper, which is aderford.io's no code iot platform So previously like this is what people generally see If you go to add a component like a light sensor and led or a read switch or anything there's a limited amount of them and That's because this was all hard-coded into aderford.io like through the back ends And people weren't able to modify these and we wanted um some level of community interaction and interfacing with aderford whipper snapper so um, this is what's going to come out pretty soon. There's no like eta on this but Um, when you click your component It loads a large amount of pin components and it also loads I do see components and previously we only had the ht20 But now we have the ht20 the am2 3 1 5 which is an ht20 the bm 680 and the dps 3 10 and I have a fun house over here plugged in Which has the ht20 temperature and humidity sensor and the dps 3 10 sensor already built into it. So, um To create a component. We just uh, click the icon with the component. We can set its interval to return and then the components there and These graphs will change over time So if you want to make another sensor like we want to attach this dps 3 10 And we didn't have something like stem of qt Um on this board, which we don't because it's built in but you can also attach a stem of qt connector Um, you can just click through it and there's no code and there's no soldering And values will just roll straight into aderford io And then over time you can graph values on feeds and you can interface with them Just like you would with anything in aderford io And then um, we have a new repository called whipper snapper components. That's on the aderford github And we're not ready for user submissions yet But if you have an idea for your favorite sensor in the aderford store To add to whipper snapper that you want to use like you want to use the stem of soil sensor Or something else you can click here and submit a suggestion And if you want to look at how we're submitting these, uh, we have two open pull requests One of them is to add an scd 30 component And it's just like a bunch of jason Um, and then an animation which is a spinning animation and another image So this is what we're um working on and this will be out shortly Run on and uh folks don't forget to go to aderford daily and sign up for the newsletter where you're going to get all of this and then some Um Yeah, so if you go to aderford daily Um, click on internet things monthly. Uh, that newsletter is going to go out next week. Okay. All right. Thank you so much brad Nice work. This is very exciting making it too easy for everybody Well, I really want this like magical moment where we're going to be able to get a qt pi sp32 as to Any plug-in the scd co2 sensor and it just think works. It just sends, you know, just starts walking data That's that's the the dream it takes years and it's gonna work to make something Just work Yeah, I don't be free and it'll be like more sensors and like, you know, any sensor you plug in you'll automatically detect it It's gonna be really cool. I'm in the dream. I'm the dream jp. What's a five letter word for This project the five letter word for this project is the flour full So I don't want to spoil this for anyone and I showed this last week on my show But I wanted to show this off again. Uh, this is the gherkin keyboard. It's a it's a open source design for a very very very tiny 30 key keyboard I have the kb 2040 in here and i'm running k m k Which is a keyboard management sort of framework that's uh, that's working under circuit python so One thing you can do with it, of course is play your word games With a nice mechanical keyboard That's the word because it's terrifying. Like, what do you guess it? How is it connected? Is it connected to? I'm using the usb and the little camera connector kit thing I have them kind of plugged together here so I can show them neatly. So this is not uh, bluetooth or anything like that I'm not using batteries to usb That's it. They called the camera connector kit or something. Yeah, but this is just usb So I can plug it into the computer too or anything that'll that'll take the usb keyboard This is also Since it's running k m k i'll show you if you're using this for the crossword I've got the new york times crossword app here. This is the mini so you can see it a little better Neat thing is that not only can you type in stuff, but you can use the layers of k m k Which is kind of like shift modifiers. So if I hold c That allows me to do things like tab which is how you go from word to word to word or I can use What are essentially virtual arrow keys to to cruise around on here? You can even do freaky stuff that you can't normally do in the crossword app such as type in numbers what Or type in symbols So there's a lot of there's actually I think four or five layers of Stuff you can type on this by knowing these magical key combos and then you can go and customize those right in Code.py. So it's very easy to I think it's funny that you design this this gherkin keyboard And then like word will became popular and we're like this is actually perfect What do you not need a space bar this is all it can do right? It's almost exactly it I like the cursing one. I think there should be a Loodle the yeah, I think there should be a crossword where it's like famous cartoon characters cursing because you know what always has Yeah, yeah Rubble rubble rubble rubble in having a bad day or something like that. Yeah All right. Well, thanks so much. If you and then you're gonna be showing off some of this and more tomorrow And I'll give a hint tomorrow this beauty is going to be involved my western electric model 500 Is that how you're going to play wordle next? Maybe I like that You can place the numeral you have to guess a number yeah numeral. All right. Thanks so much. Okay All right next up we're going to go to liz and jay than andrew liz. How you doing? Good. How are you? What's going on? So this is the oscatone scoutson And I've hacked it so that it's sending midi out over uart to an rp2040 And then that's taking the midi over uart and sending out via usb Which then doing a Raspberry Pi midi host to send it to your arach so So it's like a little mini keyboard Oh What it's adorable Thank you. Yeah, so um, I'm hoping to maybe uh change up the knob so they'll do some um cc commands But it was pretty cool getting it so that started by the one spring Taking in the uart sending out the usb because that basically makes this into a usb midi controller That's cool. Yeah, and is it okay if I talk about the future guide that you're you're going to be working on with us Yeah, totally okay, so um one of the things that we've noticed is a lot of folks are Just hearing about this midi thing even though it's been around for a long time But now there's low cost hardware. You can build your own. There's all the open source software So liz is going to do a guide um, this is There's articles that I wish I had time to write Um and like back in the day when I was at make I would do an article like this or something But this one's going to be called midi for makers and it's for folks who just Don't really know anything or maybe They forgot because it's been it's been a while and a lot of things have changed in the last few decades And so uh, liz is going to be working on an article called midi for makers So if you have any suggestions or questions or whatever, um, just remember this isn't for experts yet It'll it'll it'll get everyone up to a good foundational level of knowledge And then we'll keep layering more and more and more things Because there's a lot of cool hardware that's come out in the last uh 10 years for sure in at least the last 10 months Um, so anyways liz is going to be working on that too and uh one of my first I actually my first ever like or do we know something that tried to do Um was a midi controller and it was so hard like trying to figure out from scratch How to do it kind of zero coding experience or anything. So I'm really excited to write this Yeah, I think musicians too they they need a way in to get into like oh I want to learn python, but I don't I don't have a reason for it And like a lot of times you search for like learn python It's like data science and everything like that's cool And maybe you'll eventually do that but a lot of folks They just want to do something with the stuff they already have so I think this'll be yeah So the cool gateway drug so to speak. All right. Well, thanks liz Cool. Have a good one. All right, then we're gonna do jay and then we're gonna go to andrew jay what you got going on I have this little guy which is a project. I'm still working on this is its fifth iteration I've been trying to get it to work for a while now and I finally got to work last night So if you say I love it, I saw this on your instagram story. So I knew this was coming Well, is this like a spirit bot? What is this? I don't know. Yeah, it's one of my next wearables I've been trying to get to a point where I'm trying to control this now with my phone for the first time So I'm kind of working on what I usually do. What are you using to control it with your phone? I'm using an arduino with a blue uh Bluetooth attachment to it and then the LED is being controlled by a native fruit Feather So this is gonna potentially be shoulder mounted or j mounted It's going to be bag mounted. I'm literally designing a bag to hold this one that way when I go to events and stuff Um, I'm happy I got this to actually start working now because now I just focus on the artist part of it So like currently in my printers. I have all these like extra little attachments and stuff to make it look pretty because right now It's pretty plain especially like right here in this area. Yeah That's not to feel bad a little guy Kind of naked I like a little blinking effect. How does it do that? Um, I should be asking you that it's part of the Yeah Oh, it's just it's just an effect. So it looked like it that I was like moving up and down But it was I think it's just a reflection. It looks cool. It's like a blinking rainbow Yeah All right, well, thank you so much, uh jane keep coming back and show the progress on it All right, hey like the robot knew it's like hey did my thing I'm gonna go to bed. All right. I'll take care jay All right, andrew place out. Hey andrew Hey first time call a long time watcher I actually met you probably about 15 years ago in seattle when you guys were launching make magazine And I remember that western electric phone. You had like a gsm circuit in there. Did it was a rotary It was a rotary cell phone and that's the first, uh, writing about spark fun That was so cool. Yeah, that was that was neat. Hey, uh, good to see you. Yeah It's my first pcb. I've successfully designed. It's a two-layer board. Uh, sort of might take on a macro keyboard Um, I have some custom designed, uh buttons here that I got printed out of, uh, nylon Um, so those work in light up or at least lights up as well. Um, it's still like in the prototype stage There's actually supposed to be a an e-ink display that goes right here, but as you can see it's kind of broken off so Um, it was cool. You can't tell because it still works. Yeah, exactly. I have more I think there's a hardware issue though with my um, with my design. Um, these are like the less expensive like $5 pervasive display ones That have the chip on glass. Um, and so I had to write a Driver for it, but I actually was able to uh, based off of the ater fruit Uh, e-paper display Circuit python class so I just extended back and wrote it and that was kind of a fun learning experience And yeah, they're definitely interesting. They're one of those things that they don't work at all until they work Exactly. It's like it's like you're like nothing is happening at least with tfts You can usually get like something on the display. Yeah, well, I go it's inverted or it's like shifted Yeah, it's like nothing nothing nothing and then like boom data I I ended up buying the development kit just so I can make sure my firmware works So I know my firmware works for it. So that's good I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue now because I was going into that integration Space that special space where what you know, is it hardware? Is it software? Is it a compiler? Who knows? Yeah, yeah, so yeah, so it's it's kind of fun just sort of a demo thing and works on the circuit python in the raspberry pico Um, so yeah, it's been a fun thing If you want us to include it in the newsletter or blog about or whatever Just drop me a pt data fruit.com and I'll send it over to annamore. Thanks for um, yeah showing this off This is why we do what we do. Yeah, this has been fun. Thanks guys All right. Thank you. See you in another 15 years No Well, thanks for coming by and uh, do you still have um the copy of make because I think we we had Was it the launch we had copies or wasn't when we announced? Yeah, it's I think I actually still have the one that you brought uh, because it was like it was this I was actually going back and looking at my blog post because I wrote about it Um, and it's like the third it was a third episode. It was a third uh one you'd come out with and I I'm pretty sure I still have it. Oh cool. All right Well, thanks for sticking around and continuing to make things and now you're making things and sharing so Yeah, absolutely. Thank you mission accomplished. All right. Thank you All right, everybody. That is our show for tonight. Thanks for making this the best 25 minutes of our day today. I mean the rest of the day was pretty good, but this is great Um, we'll see everybody next week next week We're going to be part of the audience because you know Pedro hosting and we're going to do ask an engineer in just about Five minutes or so All right
