 All right, lady. What is this? Hey everybody? It's not time again. It's time to show and tell me lady Ada with me Mr. Lady Ada behind us to eat a food factory, but you're not here for us You're here to see all the people from the community We're gonna come by for the next like 25 minutes and they're gonna show off what they've been building making 3d printing glowing Code in etc. We got some Adafruit folks who get did you keep folks who get I fix it folks We're gonna be here for a basically 25 minutes, and then it's time for ask engineer So let's kick it off with Kevin from did you key? Okay? That's how you doing? What's going on? I'm going what's hello, and we are I'm creating a new sign for my office. It's all 3d printed and I'm using the pie portal That's the new logo for those people who? do branding stuff and for and Collect all the brands from electronic companies like I I'm sure everyone does here. That's right That's the new that's it the DK logo the new DK logo So my plan is I'm gonna put it back behind me I'm probably gonna replace the ditch key sign above my head or next to my head Yes, you look at it, and then I want to Next step after I use a pipe portal I want to remotely control this from Adafruit IO with I don't know if I'm gonna use the fun house or You know something different so I can adjust the colors on the fly and make sure all the wires are hidden So it's just right on the wall, but yeah, it looks a lot cooler than it does on this washed-out camera No, I believe you know Okay, these colors. Oh, that's nice So I have two colors like this is we can't even hardly tell it's red and the case red and the DK is white. Okay Cool. Yeah, like it actually shines on your face kind of nicely. It's like yeah That maybe I should shine on my face my glasses can see reflection All right beautiful, and you printed that on the 3d printed behind you I did yep And this I max out my printer bed size so yeah When you just selfies on Instagram, you know, the cool thing to do now is have like different color LED lights all over you So now you got that go on. Okay. Yeah No, there's still plenty of room you think so yeah, it's like it's like in physics There's planks length. You can always fit another did you key logo somewhere? Yeah, exactly. I can find more All right. Well, I hope you're having fun for you putting them in glowing I am I'm having a good time and of course neopix those are always fun to play with the more lights the better All right. Well, thank you so much Kevin and before we move on to the next guess I just want to mention the next guess Kyle from I fix it the I fix it tools are not only in digikey store Adafruit store. They're also now in Home Depot But it's kind of cool that electronic companies like Adafruit and digikey stock. I fix it We were just talking before we went live Adafruit Adafruit open source stuff and I fix it open source opens things whether companies want to or not Right here. Yeah, you happen to have it right there So it's cool to see this like ecosystem and companies that are trying to be good causes and good business together So without further ado, thank you Kevin by the way, thank you guys take care to Kyle all right I swear we were gonna have Kyle from I fix it. Do you want to do something? Yes, we're gonna do some Adafruit folks. He might having might have some technical issues Let's go Okay, so maybe when people leave Yeah, let's go to Scott. Oh wait I'm here Yeah, let's go Scott There's a little bit of an echo Kyle Kyle are you watching yourself? Sorry. Yes. Okay. All right. Take it away. Oh Hello, yeah, we're super excited. We have Great repair is making progress all over the world including in New York And I know it's near and dear to your heart so we have after you know You know opining and talking about the importance of hardware and getting into all of our stuff for a long time and and Countless dozens and dozens of meetings with legislators. We are scheduled for a vote on the floor of the New York Senate tomorrow So this is really exciting Yeah, we did a blog post and It's really easy You can go to the links and someone will put it in the chat and you just put in your Zip code and it fills out everything for you But if you really want to have an impact make a phone call the more pressure the better for the legislators And the cool thing is if you read the bill and I'm gonna read it on ask an engineer Is it just basically says hey companies you should kind of be like Adafruit because when you buy something from Adafruit you get The instructions you get things to download you get the technical manual you get any software and that would mean that Repairability would be possible, but also if you don't want everything to end up in the trash You can fix it and there's communities of people who take you know products that are older and they repair them and they have like Actually, what's funny is you know are one of our machinery or one of our board loader machines actually Stopped working last week You know it has a panel and like the buttons on the panel eventually stopped working and we we try to fix it But then some other character broke and it was kind of like this cascading failure But you know because there was enough documentation available repair parts We're gonna fix this thing saving a big piece of machinery from the trash because normally people just throw out Can bus and I can get another can bus panel and no work and it worked and like it's cool like So you don't have to give up your secret sauce to make something that people can repair and Reuse after even the company gets sold or goes out of business. So where do they go? What do they do Kyle? Go to New York repair org and you can either you can write the leather it figures out You can punch in your zip code and they'll figure out who your reps are and you can email them Or we have a cool widget where you punch in your phone number And it will call you and it will call your reps and you you say hey I support the right to repair bill and they hit pound and it hangs up on them and calls your next rep. Good Yeah, we were using that during last year to help encourage some Social justice you have to call your reps and it and a lot of it worked Some of it we saw won't work to do and then last up congratulations Your stuff is now in Home Depot. You said we're in Home Depot and Best Buy and even better You know more attractive stores like Adafruit. So Yeah Things are going well and I fix it land all right Well, keep coming back Kyle and I was saying before we got on like we correspond once in a while and time moves different But we're going to continue to try to do things to not only get the word out for them But help people connect up with efforts like this. Yeah, this is this is one community I think all of us are in this together as I was thinking you in the arc of history Like it used to be you could open something up and it was mechanical and you can kind of figure out how it works But now with electronics in multi-layer PCB. You have to have some amount of documentation. So yeah You're you're a great organizer You're great at making the message clear to both our elected officials and to people who don't necessarily do this kind of work You have a really good story and people get it immediately. All right, I praise super appreciate the help All right And before you go I'm gonna put you on the spot if you don't have the answer That's fine. Is there anything that you've wanted to do an I fix it tear down on that you've not been able to Pass pass things inventions or whatever or anything that's currently out. Well, the current one is a starship And I was looking there's a photo on the forums of their scrap yard and every time, you know They they dismantle one so there's they're lying in pieces. But yeah Actually more specifically the Raptor engine would gotcha. All right. It's cool. I'm gonna answer. I like how you were like Yeah, so I'm gonna do I'm gonna do mine and maybe this will make internet history if I can ever get IBM to agree Would you ever do a tear down on deep blue? Oh, that would be so cool. Absolutely. Yeah, there's a lot of controversy with it And some people say maybe it didn't win on its own Maybe there's a there's a person. It's like the mechanical Turk, right? Insighted crackly. You'll find a little skeleton in there All right. Okay. Well, thank you so much Kyle. Okay. Cheers. Take care. All right, all right Hi, let me share my screen real quick Why can I have oh I just filled out the I fix it form? Rakes are very important and I really like I fix it. So that's for Rhode Island Actually, yeah, your state dot repair org. So I was in New York now. I'm in Rhode Island Filled it out. It was super simple. So this past week. I've been working on whippersnapper a little bit more Work in more usability and like some blinky things So depending on what board you're connecting to the service if you're connecting a board like the metro and for airlift Which has a neopixel built-in or a fun house that has dot stars or like an ESP 32 that just has a normal LED You'll be able to see the status of it connecting to Whippersnapper Let's go to the Brent's big big big Brent face. Okay. Yeah, do it again. So If you I can't see the I have like no reaction to it. So Um, I mean it will turn on so it cycles between it connects It connects to Wi-Fi Which takes the longest amount of time on like any board that has Wi-Fi because the Wi-Fi Provisioning process is so complicated and then it connects the MQTT and then it checks in with Whippersnapper It says hey, I'm an airlift light metro and then it checks in and you can I don't have it enabled already So you can you go to the device page? Can you add this? Yeah, okay. Oh, very cool. That's a bug Yeah, you just show off the LED which is now giving you status indication Yeah, so every two minutes and this will be configurable But because this is going to be a product that runs on batteries. Um, we don't want it to blink continuously So um to keep a lifetime for Whippersnappers really short so like they unplug it it will say that I'm offline but You'll want to know like this board is still connected to the service So every few minutes it will just blink green or on a ESP 32 it just blink its LED So and that's what I've been working on. All right. It's happening. We're we're deploying we're writing code We're getting ready. Yeah, the month people are gonna be able to try this out Maybe right next up. We're gonna go to Melissa Melissa what you got going on this week? Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi here and let me start up a little demo And I have it running as little voice to sustain these speakers, but uh, I don't have a camera that I can do overhead at the moment Okay Okay, tell me the time Tell me the time Okay, yay. All right, I want to see a cat picture Show me a cat picture. I think I had a pause in there. So Show me a cat picture It worked. Yay Show me an ate a fruit picture Oh, no. I want cat. Goodbye to cat Show me a cat picture Great set the middle light to green All right getting fancy. Yeah, all right. This is all on the edge. Which is really neat You're not using aws or poly or google or anything that would send your data off the network This is fully edge voice recognition. Exactly. Which is hard Yeah, uh, it uses uh voice to jason And I wrote kind of a little python wrapper around that uh, so that it could make use of The circuit python libraries and everything and so it just kind of sends the data and has a sub process That it's running it and gets jason it back out and uses that to process everything All right. Well ask it if it can reverse entropy. I'm asking for a friend. No, just kidding Exactly I was gonna say uh, there's a guide for this that is out now We'll be playing the video during ask an engineer when we do the guide tonight all the cats. Thanks so much All right, I love edge Machine learning stuff. All right scott. What you got going on? Hello, welcome to my desk. Um, that's so what I've been working on is blue Billy workflow stuff. So what I'm going to do here on this feather Is I'm going to tell it to erase its existing connectors and connection information so that it broadcasts publicly So i'm just going to hit reset once and then when it blinks blue I hit it again and it'll be solid blue. So that's how I know it's working So here's my phone and let me hit the Lock here So we have this glider app that we're working on so I'll hit that and now It's scanning for devices and it has to be really close. That's kind of how we're going to prevent from other people connecting to it So we just uh connected to it and now I can hit the Folder icon to list the drive. So this is my code dot pi Or my circuit pi drive, uh live And so I can hit code dot pi here It changes the file name and then if I want to read it in glider currently I hit read file and it just loaded the version of code dot pi uh over the bluetooth And I look nearly instantly too. How fast is it? So I was doing some tests. I I had a bunch of prints in it and so I deleted the prints because prints actually slow down stuff a lot and I was getting about 3000 bytes a second, uh just with my limited testing. So It's pretty quick. Um, obviously like the listing didn't take very long either, which is great. Um, we can see like The path is not changing. Nope So there's a bug there, but you know bugs are still here. It's okay Um And then we can load this like random file too if we wanted to But yeah, I'm going on vacation so that bug will have to wait When you get back, we're gonna keep working on it And uh, I think it's neat and just gonna work really great with the project bundler because you'll be able to just I would like it if we could just actually send over the project bundles and the auto deploy like that'd be so cool Yeah, exactly. And I think that's a good place to start All right, that's up. Well, thank you so much Scott and we'll see you in two weeks everyone. Don't forget There will be no Deep dive with scott for the next two weeks two weeks correct. Well deserved scott break. Scott. All right All right. No, Pedro. What you got going on? Hey folks this week we got A smart fan. So this is the guy that we put together Liz and I put this together she wrote the code and had the idea to use the fun house to make a smart Fume extractor. So this uh, this fan is a pwm fan and on the back here we're using the emc 21 of uh, the pwm fan controller So what what you did is mapped it so that when the air quality sensor behind this little fan senses tvoc or or ppb Um, it'll it'll map it to the fan speed. So I don't have any fumes right now, but I do have Some of this so let me see if I can get the uh, the thing to go But it smells some alcohol and hopefully get these these things to go up Little drunk. All right. Let me see if I can get it there and the reason why we have a fan in front is because we found that Um, the fumes would kind of dissipate you kind of go into the fan because it's working really well So this little fan directs, uh the fumes directly into the uh into the air quality sensor that's behind here So we got a carbon filter on there as well. And you can see here on the screen it displays the value and the fan speed and Because it's uh, it's got the xp fp2 s2 we can do Some logging. So this is a Friday. Oh, we got a little dashboard here. We're showing the fan speed and the fumes coming in here So it's been interesting to kind of see Kind of how long things take this order. That's an interesting thing right here This is just kind of the data and we just playing around alcohol, but uh, it's been really fun So you kind of map your day and see uh, kind of kind of how long it takes to sort of things up Uh, so there's a learn guide out and um, if I got to mention the free print case Yeah All right, uh jp is next we're doing okay on time But if everyone after jp can keep to one two minutes each we can still get to everyone this week jp What you got going on show me a cat picture Yeah Glars that can't get the hang of this machine learning. Uh, so real quick actually i'll show you over here It's actually what machine that's what happens with machine learning you ask for it Oh, and you can you get that thing instead? I'm doing great then. Uh, so I want to show you over here I've got my little two key macro pad the deco uh keypad And i'm gonna use it to show you me playing a rhythm game terribly. So let me run over here This is you might not be able to hear too well, but you'll you'll see it as this little macro pad here It's a feather inside and our feather wing for uh for two mechanical key switches And in this game you um, let's retry here. You have to hit some dots and rhythm And you have to follow some pads Okay Oh, do you have to mouse and key? Yeah, this is hard Yeah, oh, yeah You're not bad. This is like the latest google capture All right, so i'll stop there because I did fairly well for me, but it works Yeah, just pretend like that's your normal that was out normally If you watch people who are really good at this online, they are doing a lot of really fast Uh hitting of keys and even though it's meant to just really be one mouse click They've a lot of the the really serious players have found that mapping two keys Works better for some of the fast stuff. You can just kind of do like a little drum roll with your fingers So that is one possible use for it. Uh, and I just put out the guide today for that so for anyone that wants to Go build their own macro pad in a cool sort of art deco style that Is there and three three model files are there for it And uh, the code is ready to go in circuit python for you to make a little macro pad All right. Nice work jp We'll be playing all this stuff tonight and don't forget everyone jp's workshop thursday Right, I will see you tomorrow and then I'll be off next week. So, uh, no shows next week, but then I'll be back in force Okay, see you soon. See you later. Lars too. Okay, Liz What's going on? What's happening here? Uh, so this is uh, the arduino nano rp 24 connect It has a microphone on board and so right now i'm plotting the data from the microphone to this matrix clearly like audio visualizers And then I also have a second example. Let me just save the other code file Uh, where it's bars. Uh, so the bars are kind of going across So, um, yeah, the hard thing was And then don't yell loud Right. Yeah Okay It's working. It's really not the demo audio stuff because you're speaking and it's distracting But I think it's working Yeah, it is it is um, because one of the things was making sure that wasn't like rewriting the pixels that were already there because otherwise It would get really like flashy So that was probably the hardest thing and so this is basically like a bunch of four statements to like cycle through To get the different pixels on All right. Well, how are you liking the rp 2040 nano? Is it it's a good little board? It's cool. Yeah Yeah, exactly Drivers for everything, you know, I mean like it's like we had pdm microphone code and it just worked Yes, and also the new platform all the stuff just works Yeah, and the it was lucky the accelerometer they used there was also a stoker python driver already for that too So that was so it's handy All right, great come up with a project to do this. I mean, this is a project, but maybe Yeah, all right. Well, thank you so much. Liz and thank you for unlocking this hardware for folks. There was uh Uh people in the communities that I'm not going to get one of these new arduinos until Circle pythons on it. So now they can do that Cool. Yeah, and thank you for your documentation to make it possible. Yes All right, take care. Liz Matt hello matt. How are you? What you got going on this week? Hey matt Okay, you want to unmute your mic? We can't hear you matt. We can't hear you. We have a cool car and you got a headlamp. You got a headlamp Yeah, that's a car. Oh, that's your headlights. This is the project you were working on before Where it would move around the lights, right? Those are cool. Okay, see we could do maker charades They're bright as hell. All right, is that's like it's like light out and it's blinding Yeah, people aren't gonna mess with you. They'll definitely get it. Well, they look like giant eyeballs too. I like that It turns out all those ufo sightings. They weren't UFOs. They were matt's car Yeah, when they get the report out in a week matt, they're going to mention you That's what they've been seeing from the like air force pilots I see your car Awesome. Well, looks great. Congratulations. I like how you got everything working together with the joystick and it's like super smooth motion Yeah, good work. All right, cool. You're gonna be set for winter for sure. Thank you so much matt All right next up. We're gonna go to sef. Hello sef. How you doing? Hey, sef? Hey, how's it going? Uh, so I've talked about this before And I was still working on it, but I finally I finally released it and I was very fortunate enough that um extra io actually Found it after micro chip make shared it, but um, it's my my slightly bigger cutie pie that has uh 16 pins instead of 14 um, but I Finally got it out. I finally finished it up and got it done worked out all the bugs. Um And uh, so i'm pretty pretty happy about that and I just want to drop a link to your store in the chat And people can pick one up. Yeah, definitely and uh, I'll share the extra io Uh link as well Yeah, and uh, if you're going, uh, if you're subscribed to the Cyber City Circuits uh subscription box that's like august or september there's they might be in there Uh, we just shipped a bunch of them down there for them. So Yeah, for the folks who, uh, can you drop the cyber city link as we're doing the shows right now? For folks who want another subscription service or even just one subscription service Besides a box. Uh, check them out. We're We do it. We love it Yeah, also hacker boxes is another one. Okay All right, we're gonna go to steward and then we're gonna wrap up with mark steward. How are you doing? Okay yourself? How are you? Good. I um, so I did a version two of the multi pass. That's right. I modified the uh side Sorry the side rod here and I made it so you can Take out the lens and put in like a 3d lens if you want I also added um a charger so you can charge the lipo And I add a button for the night light and I also played around with sound with the 2040 and got it to work so What happens is lights up I love it. That's so cool And then the night light is really bright. Uh, it's right here. It lights it up at night Okay, and I'm back We're gonna work on the audio too. I know that there's a little bit scratchy We're gonna look at that to make it so it sounds a little bit better too. No, no, it's pretty neat. I modified it and um It sounds clear here, but I modified it and um, I forgot the sound app But yeah, I also moved the led from here because the vaccine pass wouldn't fit and I moved it back here So it's all set now okay All right. Well, I think it's a thinking it an amazing job. I love your revision I love all the details that you always put into all your projects like you're like You're you have a you have like a whole product design thing going on there when the blister shots come out You can add a little servo arm and it can inject folks All right, sweet. All right. Thanks to it. I always love your stuff. Keep coming by Okay Thank you. All right. All right mark. What you got going on? Well, I know a lot of people like seeing updates. So Last week I was showing off the lantern I started to work on and I'm still waiting on the plastic for there But I started to work on the interior part. So again, I can't say enough that people should watch 3d hangouts You learn so much. These are all nice snap fit parts now Uh, that will eventually go inside the lantern Um Work Look at that Oh, no, oh wait. Oh, it fit in earlier. Okay. Oh Oh whatever That's why uh Yeah, uh, so next step is to get the plastic to line it and to shove all this into That little part and then finally be able to Light it up. All right. We're getting there Yeah, um Tap plastics actually has some led Not the heavy stuff that the matrices work, but they have very thin led white lighting. So i'm gonna Try that on here and see how that works out and I'll check it out because we could stop that as well. I like the thick stuff But maybe there's you know flexible stuff too. That'd be great. Yeah, for sure. I'll do that right after All right. Thank you mark. Thank you everybody Finished right on time. That's our show until this week. Thank you everybody We're here every single week Wednesdays at 7 30 eastern time Thank you so much for making this the best half an hour of our week every single week Ask an engineer starts at eight o'clock. It's a couple minutes from now. We'll see everybody Next week. Bye. Bye. Thank you
