I will use any excuse to buy stuff from #Adafruit

They are the best and have really cool stuff.
#RaspberryPi

Making an enclosure for my project (thermal camera with video overlay). I couldn't find STL files for a couple of the components, so modeled stand-ins. So far, everything fits into the bottom section. Waiting on the top section to finish printing.

Playing around with a thermal camera and some linear interpolation.
The hardware's a 3 board stack: AMG8833 Thermal Camera on top, #Adafruit RP2040 Feather in the middle, 320x240 Touchscreen on the bottom, all powered by a 3.7V battery pack. #Arduino

Je viens de passer dans le domaine public le code C++ que j'avais écrit pour réaliser ce boîtier réalisé avec #adafruit #feather #arduino et la puce de traitement musicale #vs1053.

Capable de rejouer des marqueurs et de ralentir une piste jusqu'a deux fois sans changer le pitch (merci vs1053). Trois exemplaires ont été créés dans l'atelier.

Code orienté objet. Est inclus le fritzing pour imprimer la carte d'interface.

La photo est le prototype.

Just playing Super Mario All Stars on an RGB matrix panel as you do.

To keep things together better, I 3D printed a bracket in two pieces, the subject of a work in progress playground note: https://adafruit-playground.com/u/jepler/pages/3d-printed-bracket-for-4-64x64-2mm-rgb-matrix-panels

This is using a 3rd party breakout board with 3 HUB75 connectors. I recently added the ability to drive up to 3 connectors to Adafruit Piomatter, as well as temporal dithering.

In this specific interest, I'm using 2 connectors to drive a total of 4 64x64 panels. --num-planes=6 --num-temporal-planes=2 means I'm getting effective 18 bit color, albeit with the least significant 2 bits being shown on alternate refreshes, creating a tiny amount of 44Hz color shimmer.

All these "go faster" tricks together give me about 88Hz refresh rate on the panel, despite that we're still limited to about 10MB/s of data between the PI's main CPU and the PIO peripheral that's acting as the LED controller.

My current setup for digital community archiving projects:

open hardware (#raspberrypi) as interfaces. small screens to avoid sitting *behind* laptop screens (pi 400, #adafruit cyberdeck hat, #clockworkpi #devterm).

portable #scanography for creative tracing and mapping.

graph writing in #obsidian, with self-hosted livesync and other plugins (dataview, graph link types, juggl). can be combined with social media webarchiving.

this all is building on prototyping and experimentation in the cooarchi.net art-doc-archive.net #urbandermatology and #opferschicht projects, and recently in the @MuseumfZK

Adafruit’s Fruit Jam is a credit card-sized computer with a RP2350B microprocessor

The Fruit Jam is a single board computer (SBC) that’s about the size of a credit card, or a Raspberry Pi Model B. But while the latest Raspberry Pi SBCs are powered by a 2.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor, the Fruit Jam instead uses a Raspberry Pi RP2350B microprocessor with two 150 MHz ARM Cortex-M33 cores and two Hazard3 RISC-V cores.

Developed by the folks at Adafruit, and […]

Has anyone here managed to get the #Adafruit mp3 streaming example for #CircuitPython to work on an #RP2040 yet?

I've read from people having success with it, but I always end up with a gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known') when running requests.get(STREAMING_URL, headers={"connection": "close"}, stream=True)

What am I doing wrong?

(running CircuitPython 9.2.3)

Prototyping more and testing designs on the physical display.

Mix between isometric and wide grid format to make use of the 400x240 pixel area. Had prototyped an isometric design but scrapped after realizing it frustrating to control with a d-pad input.

Plans for #CircuitPython2025, to incorporate an RTOS (Zephyr) have benefits: e.g. supporting multiple cores, BLE stacks, and high-performance processors.

Please don't make a clean break! Keep a version of #CircruitPython, as up-to-date as possible, that is still capable of running on the existing chips, even on the SAMD21. It will lack many of the new features, but will still be useful for existing tasks.

Thanks for the open community of Python and microcontrollers, #Adafruit

"Go Haystack" works with most of the @adafruit boards with Bluetooth support.

And TinyScan works really well on the Pyportal as a miniature scanning device you can take with you "on the Go"!

Yesterday evening I received two #adafruit boards.

One is a FunHouse to replace the one I fried during my most recent blog post, the other is a Qualia S3 for an upcoming blog post.

When I plug them into my laptop, neither of them show up as a USB mass storage device.

I first plugged in the Qualia, and though something was wrong with the board, so I paved it with the reset firmware: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-qualia-esp32-s3-for-rgb666-displays/factory-reset

I'm pretty sure I did the reset correctly, but it still doesn't show as a drive.

Designing a screen layout for a single display that combines the workshop corrosion monitor with the weather station. The existing PyPortal devices use #CircuitPython to gather data from #Adafruit IO feeds. The new ESP32-S3-based device will also send locally-attached sensor data to AIO. #AdafruitIO #AdafruitIO+ # AppleWeatherKit #LCARS

I have playing with snek, Keith Packard's tiny Python for embedded devices. I have managed to make neopixels do something on a CircuitPlayground Express!

But:
- snek 1.10 is the only one that comes with examples
- snek 1.9 is the only one that I can find for my OS
- there were syntax changes between the versions
- compiling 1.10 is at the "hahaha no" stage (unless you are Keith Packard, of course)

Not quite ready for prime time

I published a blog post about using #emacs to detect flow, and post status to an #adafruit board to display FREE or BUSY

https://www.scannedinavian.com/programmers-want-flow-when-programming-light-turns-red.html

A massive improvement in the quality of the #neopixel fairy lights between the first generation ones I had already and what is now shipping.

Much, much more durable, less prone to tangles, much easier to string. What's not to like?
