 What is it everybody and welcome to show and tell yet again hosted by me lady data, mr Lady data. Thank you so much when we have no Pedro. We have JP or we have Liz or we have Melissa All helping out with hosting. That's amazing and wonderful But it's always glad I'm always glad when we get a shot to see these amazing projects with our own eyes So for the next 25 ish minutes We're gonna check in with people around the maker community Adafruit folks and more see what they're up to what they're hacking and coding soldering Robotting and more first off Jane Well, I didn't upgrade this is actually for my little robot that take with me to events and stuff And I've upgraded it recently with some vinyl stickers and then of course the legs It has the Aussie spider legs now. So she's really like nice type of like Yeah, it still works I have like magazines over there. So I'd like sees them and it goes crazy But uh, yeah, I just want and did that I'm just adding some more little technical detail upgrades to this because One thing I thought silicon is a lot of photos and stuff. It looks kind of like weird so I'm trying to give it a little bit more character and The Aussie spider legs is always a cool addition. It just looks cool no matter what you do plus the little vinyl stickers actually Very interesting You have to design robots for a few different things one is like it has to you know It works It's a companion its friend and then you see the photos of it that other people take so you're like, oh, let me make sure I Can have it photograph well, too Yeah, it's kind of like being a modern chef where it's like you have to make your food look good on Instagram and also On the plate It's definitely one of those feelings. I'm having especially with this because since it's attached to a venue pack It does slide a bit so we're doing something already to fix the sliding portion problem of it But I'm hoping with the next event which I believe the next event that I'm going to be attending is a maker fair Rome Oh, wow, yeah, I wouldn't be flying out the room So I want to make sure it's like written ready for photos and stuff like that because you know I want to make sure I want to make sure that after photos look good Yeah So it's definitely one of situations of like doing my best upgrade it and stuff and so far the details I've added have just been fixes from other problems. I've noticed But yeah, that's pretty much just it. It's just it still works. It's adorable. It's cute. It does stuff I have a soundboard ready to but currently I'm working on the sounds. I haven't gotten it down yet So I've got yodeling now what kind of want to turn yodeling into a different noise. That's cool Not sure yet what yet, but it should be a fun thing to figure out Yeah, maybe different languages if you're traveling abroad and then the other thing you could do is Put a QR code on it So maybe it can automatically Photoshop itself look better in photos you got all sorts of Yeah, the main problem with like having languages and sounds is because humans are you know simple minded people when it comes to stuff like this I'm thinking about just having on my old version of the Android beats from like Star Wars. Yeah That people will just start, you know pushing their own thoughts on the robot and yeah me telling you it's saying something You don't start having a conversation with it. You'll just be like Kind of like R2 R2 is cute. You don't know what R2 is saying, but it's like it's cute Yeah, I mean most of the time because it does have that weird scream one where it spins around Yeah, I want to have something like that and I'm hoping I can get it done in the next few weeks that way I'm not gonna roam. I have a new upgraded version of the fur pot with me. All right, Jay Well, thank you so much keep coming back and thanks for sharing your robots and more will look for your vids on the Digi-key channel on social media and more Thanks guys. Thanks Jay. All right. I've been looking forward to this all day Jeff You've got something amazing to share I've been working on the Pico W and we got through some milestones in this past week So let me find the end of you wireless Raspberry Pi Pico. Yeah, and of course, I'm working with circuit Python So let's just see what we can do here Okay, you're connected. Okay W it says that Before and of course the LED blinks now which is going through the Wi-Fi chip, but we do a lot more We can now associate with a Wi-Fi network You print out all that information IP addresses gay ways dresses DNS is amazing you can do The NS and ping So that resolve google.com and send out things and got them back in pretty good time. That's pretty fast and Let's see. What's next? Oh, we get the network. So we're using UDP packets. Okay, the time is yes It's September 21st. Yeah. Yeah, do you remember that where you were September 21st with you? And now I think I think we've hit a bug now because they will start timing out everything So we're just gonna restart here and continue a little demo. We've got one more. It's a live demo. All right. What else can you do? Okay, so there's a text to Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi again And we Data HTTP so you have some basic socket stuff working Basics are really solid and I've got to give a big thanks to both the pico SDK people and micro python there is a great basis To build this on top of and it really made this easier than we both feared it would be Yes, the cool thing is is that you're connecting to we have actually a special server Wi-Fi test dot a for comm is it a special Redirected server that does not require SSL because we have so many modules that don't have SSL. Yes, so This is an unsecured connection, but it just proves that you can get data There's still a couple websites you can use that I think Apple had something because I was testing out of I've an old Mac that Oh, that's right. You had the old Mac OS 9. Yeah, and it didn't have TLS to had TLS like 1.1 And so we could only connect to like the only site in the world But it worked, but it worked. Yeah, very cool. All right, so This is the latest beta, right? This is the latest pull request. This is not in the circuit Python beta yet Request in the latest people wanted to try it out if they short experiments You can grab this branch and build it and soon I hope yet tonight. We will That PR will be green and that means there's an artifact in there a you have to that you can download and try it out And this is the basics of what works and you know, there's at least one bug, but we are At least one bug she laughs We would love to start hearing some feedback I'd like to hear I tried this to and it works But you know if you can boil down the steps that get you to where every can everything times out It would be helpful to yeah, so just a little early for for context for everyone So this is referred to as the pie cow So you'll see that we have a bunch of bells that we're releasing and if you Have lived through the last few years ESP 8266 was very interesting low-cost Wi-Fi a little hard to use But the next generation of Wi-Fi devices and then ease of something like circuit Python is almost here So we're looking forward to being able to do all the things with circuit Python Over Wi-Fi. Yeah, I didn't show you any of the code that's running But it is just the same code that you would use on an ESP 32 for instance Oh, and very similar what to what you'd use with Nina or an airlift So it will be just as easy once we get the bugs worked out once we get the functionality And you just got the working like two hours ago two hours ago. Yeah, this is new. This is a fresh hot. Yeah Cutting it stuff. This is why people tune in the Adafruit like this is this is the most advanced thing going on a microcontroller Right now this second. Yeah, so people can that check it out. Just remember does not support SSL yet That's going to be a bit of a lift It's probably gonna be a couple more weeks until we get that Integrated because every other Wi-Fi platform that has SSL. We've been using it in a different It's not built in with bare SSL. It's been using something within an SDK. That's already been done So this is going to take a little bit more Effort jebbers jebbers ready, but he's gonna take a little break to a couple keyboards. Yeah And we all do some bug fixing on version 8 and then dig into SSL and find out what We can do there. Okay delightful and Jeff and all the chats everyone's really excited So good work In the discord chat, I will share a uf2 with y'all since it's not quite on get Until I'll get a free uf2 All right, I know you have a play cat and a year supply of rice a rune. Okay install it now. Yeah, enjoy. Thanks, Jeff All right, no Pedro. What do you got cooking this week? Hey, folks. Hey guys. Oh man, it is so awesome We're laughing about do you remember web on pocket PC like yes the We've got yes, holy crap. Okay, so this week. I remember it all too well No, I mentioned it. I'm like, oh my god I remember having this doll trumpet win sock Yeah It was like why is it be coming through a company called win sock like it was so weird Anyway, what you got like apps was like some sketchy place. Oh my god. Yeah good times No, not good security Not good time. Oh man. So this week's I know the this week's demo is a project was to demo Super awesome addition to a fruit a oh at IO and whippersnapper Brent added the ability to Control servos. So what we wanted to do was get some inspiration Like you always do them are you find like a Kickstarter that I don't know Is it gonna make it or not because we could easily make it make yours now Yeah, so this is Reactive actions. So CO2 is triggering the servo on this little Canary crow so when it reaches over a thousand parts per million it'll like die on you So kind of just demonstrated that there you can see it's over because we're talking so much and then you can just control this with a Slider in here. So that's cute. Yeah, so it's whippersnapper. No code servo support scd 30 and 40 support so We're adding more and more sensors and devices all the time But when we had in servo and we had also the CR2 sensors, like we should see and we also add in actions where you could have one Feed effect another feed now's like this is I was like basically I made you guys into beta testers I was like this should work find out and you said it was actually really easy And it was a great demo to prove that Whippersnapper is actually a way you can make fairly complicated IoT projects without any coding at all. Yeah, I could never build this Easy Yeah, no, this is awesome. This is turning all of our you know components and the stem of connections It's like little electronic Legos or weren't you suffering more? No, it's so happy. Yeah. Oh my god But I tested it with a bunch of other stuff like the PIR sensor the what is it the magnetic latch thing the beam splitter So Halloween's coming up. This could have been like a spider lowering like device So yeah, many ideas and products do with the upcoming holidays. So super cool Definitely check it out. We have all the three printed files for this on the the learn system And of course set by step on how to set up your actions and your Whippersnapper and all that this is using the Q5 32 Pico so yeah super low cost way to build Kickstarters you don't know if it will happen or not. It gets covered in its eyes. No, I can't look at this It's too easy. Okay, right. So yeah, don't check it out Hey Covered all the three files on that. So check all that out. It's cool. Thank you. Thank you so much All right, JP and the tower power which Yeah, so this is a segment that I want to call honey I shrunk the linear actuator and turned it into a terrifying sci-fi prop, right? Here's your typical linear actuator It's this is like a 12-volt one and you can see we got easy motor there And as I put power to it it raises this This stem here. So let me shut that off Show you the the Miniaturized one of course is our little motorized slide potentiometer It's kind of the same thing and this one actually has servo control Unlike that one because the analog slide pot can be read and the little DC motor that spins it up and down can react In code based on on the positioning there So if you check out this sort of monolith thing here So three of them and I built a little 3D printed housing for it And right now I just have a little pre-programmed sequence that it'll run through We can adjust what the pattern is in code. We can adjust the PWM frequency and Voltage or throttle so you can go faster slower and and do some interesting things with it So I am probably gonna add a little feature to it tomorrow on my show show how it's built It'll let us select some different patterns But this we're not sure exactly what it is or what to call it, but it's yeah It's a it's like a it's an art sculpture that's just soothing to look at I'm not sure why Yeah, it's just cool and I was like, well, let's use the you know the motorized plot for something It's not really meant for I have this only weekend. I need to do yeah. Yeah, it's a really cool inexpensive Relatively speaking robot action. Yeah, it's a neat prop. It's like where you keep Spock's brain or something or I don't know It's like I am judging you and I will release the final judgment and whether you live answer is 42 in the cloud city It's upsetting how long it takes to come up with the answer to your fate Okay, well, it looks really cool and it's I it's me and did you end up doing this in Arduino or circuit Python? It is circuit Python and so it's pretty straightforward to change out I just have like a little list of lists of the positions it goes to right now simple easy And I and I named the variables high medium lobes. I don't want to Yeah, a little pattern of going to those three positions But it's anywhere from zero to 55 is a position it can go to along along it's In the chat someone someone now I'm starting to think what it reminds me of someone said if you put all the Sliders in the right spot does like pinhead up here because it kind of you know, like There's all you know those old science fiction movies where like you're they're playing with the All of a sudden they open a gateway to hell. No, I should I shouldn't have played with the thing That says it opens the gateway to hell darn Yeah, one thing I haven't done with this I should I'll probably play with this tomorrow is these things can go super fast There's sometimes you need a little bit of code to PID it so it doesn't overshoot forever It can get even slower I wasn't sure what I was gonna hang off of it, but I put these cool chrome fader caps Yeah, so I can go I could actually go quite a bit slower with it, too So yeah, kind of fun. It also could could be a horizontal one if that's a if that's a different mood You're in There's something soothing about this I'm not quite sure Yeah, good luck to us This the machine lets us. All right. Thank you so much. It'd be a great demo. Yeah No gateways, but I do this project as we're guns this personal project. I have the sequencer module I really like it but takes up a lot of rack space. So I modeled up and 3d printed this enclosure for it On the side Yeah, I did rainbow filaments and it was my first time using heat set inserts and I was very excited that the module did slotting correctly and The holes were lined up. So 3d printing things. So now it's a tabletop since rather than rack mounted. Yeah Nicely done. Nice work. All right. Thank you so much, Liz How's it going mark what you got going on? Hello, pretty good. Let me make sure this is Come on camera it was turned on There it is. There we go suspense This was not what I really wanted to show off, but since I had them last week I thought I'd show that I've continued to work on various amounts of punks But what I have been working on and I'll give some light to it is making my Modifications of my first ever circuit board that came about so I'll quickly show this was the one I made Probably almost a year ago now The first time doing something like that and then this winter we had a lot of snow and a lot of rain And I got water in my basement So I thought I need something to monitor this Because it kept occurring. So I finally took time to shrink it down And this board was actually inspired by the fun house, but I realized I didn't really need a screen so I put like the main components and Some indicator light so then if I dump in the water It will show various warning signs The beeping probably doesn't come through and probably won't actually alert me from the basement, but yeah, no those speakers are teeny yeah, um and Then otherwise works and since it's the ESP 32 s to it has the built-in Wi-Fi So I'll be able to hook that up To ate a fruit IO and then hopefully alert myself If and hopefully never again when I get water in my basement Well, I like the idea of like taking the fun house and you just stripped out all the parts you didn't need second spot I'm like, oh you got the three buttons and you get the piezo and you got like the you know Stem IQ T poor, but you don't have you know, it's it's like a quarter of the size yeah, and it was I wanted to design something with a microcontroller on it and this gave me sort of a practical reason to do it and a template to follow so again, thanks to you guys for releasing all those specs and Basically everything besides having to find alternate parts for a few of the yeah, that I can't help you with that's that's just life now Yeah So luckily I did when I first did it and managed orders some extras because why order one when you can order like 20 Exactly. That's what I always say and that's why I have so much storage Yeah, I'm gonna need more storage soon for all this. Luckily the parts are relatively small but yeah, so Yeah Now that this is working. I'll get it installed and can go back to programming pumpkins. All right. DIY IOT to the rescue All right. Thank you so much mark. Thanks a lot All right, that's our show until for tonight Thank you so much everybody for coming by and showing sharing your projects for here every single week some of 30 p.m. Eastern time Come on by any project is fun to share and welcome and We'll be back next week and we'll be on back if we're Ask engineer in 10 minutes ask an engineer starts and you said 10 minutes go clear some sandwich quick some tea quick Get comfy and come right back. See you all soon
