| Group Hug. Still busy with other things, so havent' paid much attention, but I'm sure you are all doing awesome stuff. | |
| brentr 8:35 | |
| hug report for @tannewt for being on one of my favorite podcasts (the amp hour). I listened to it on my flight and it made time fly. | |
| cater 9:01 | |
| fly on the wall mode for me this week. no mic. no updates. group hug. | |
| cefn 9:22 | |
| cgrover 9:41 | |

| deshipu 10:44 | |
| * group hug! | |
| * congrats on alpha 3! | |
| hukuzatuna 11:17 | |
| * kattni who has been working very hard on dotstar express vs non-express | |
| jerryn 11:46 | |
| * congrats on alpha 3. happy to have it all working | |
| * haven't found anything broken yet | |
| * kattni for helping newcomer to #projecthelp on discord | |
| kattni 12:25 | |
| * hukuzatuna testing help for guides | |
| * sommersoft for doc PRs and dotstar pointers | |
| * group hug for everyone helping | |
| nis 13:00 | |
| * tdicola for documentation on how to build CircuitPython | |
| * Hug report to Tony DiCola for the initial work on documenting the building of CircuitPython from source: | |
| https://learn.adafruit.com/micropython-for-samd21/build-firmware | |
| (Initially this was Micropython for Adafruit product line, more than a year ago) | |
| The present Vagrantfile is verified correct by me. ;) There's enough info in the Vagrantfile to build everything, if you look. ;) | |
| Was able to build the 3.0.0. Alpha-2 from those instructions, this week! | |
| @Dan Halbert for pointing out the presence of 74HC595 Shift Register in the AF LCD backpack. | |
| noe 13:29 | |
| Group hug! | |
| sommersoft 13:50 | |
| Group hug this week. And @Noe for ATizing last week's project. | |
| wolf 14:10 | |
| Hug from me, then. A Vagrantfile is just what I need! | |
| cefn 16:10 | |
| Apparently couldn't connect mic, sorry. Looking forward to trying out alpha3, thanks to tannewt for guiding me on conformance for https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka and tannewt and ladyada for comments/feedback. Had a sprint on prepping @ShrimpingIt kits last week but now available again | |
| Status 14:48 | |
| tannewt 15:17 | |
| * Fixed up USB and pulseio in Alpha 2 and released Alpha 3 | |
| * Brain is chewing on audio API tweaks. Goal is to separate audio sources from destinations so we can use PWM, DAC, I2S or PDM interchangeably. | |
| * Found and tweak SVD based GDB helper which makes it easy to read peripheral memory. | |
| * Revamping Python on MicroControllers newsletter. Join at Adafruit Daily: https://www.adafruitdaily.com/ | |

| Nothing CP-related. Main project is continuing to re-chip the DigiBadges for a convention at the end of the month, but I've also taken up writing a standard python program to generate random tectonic plates. It's absolutely not something I need to make, but... Well, I'm going to do it anyway. | |
| brentr 20:00 | |
| nothing cp related, spinning back up from vacation | |
| cefn 20:36 | |
| Next is SPI | |
| CGrover 20:57 | |
| Running 2.2.4 on all projects and its working great! | |
| Working on motor driver for string car. Merged with model train controller | |
| still a newbie | |
| dhalbert 24:00 | |
| * usb hid descriptor work | |
| * reproduced the descriptors from 2.2.4 with 3.0.0 | |
| * turning on hid in asf4 not documented at all | |
| * verifying hid report version | |
| deshipu 25:15 | |
| nothing CP-related | |
| hukuzatuna 25:50 | |
| * finished up testing of various boards and devices for kattni | |
| * played with laser cutter in maker space | |
| * ready for next round of testing | |
| * UART is next | |
| jerryn 26:42 | |
| * played with am23 temp sensor. replacing dht11s. i2c is better! | |
| * scroll phat from pimoroni (7 x 17 dotstars). easy to use with charlieplex circuitpython driver | |
| * lis3dh found issue with tap example on any version | |
| * gemma m0 dotstar, pirkey may need dotstar enabled too | |
| kattni 29:21 | |
| * working on essentials guide, pwm, servo, cap touch, internal rgb led. UART, i2c, storage and cpu temp left | |
| * already available in board guides | |
| * lots of PR review | |
| nis 31:12 | |
| Tracebacks (vs gforth). vector graphics oscope netpbm. 74HC595 (shift register driving 7-segment LED array) in CircuitPython quickest route this week over Arduino (SPI ready in CircuitPython due to prior work by me). Status LED CircuitPython proving useful. | |
| See scrollback for a more detailed (haha) report. | |
| Noe 32:52 | |
| circuitpython foot switch. published wednesday | |
| Put cad drawings into github: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CAD_Parts | |
| sommersoft 34:38 | |
| Got debug working over the weekend on the "128char max paste in REPL". Still working my way to grabbing fully useful data with atmel studio & GDB, but the picture is a getting clearer. And to retract my statement from last week: docs are never done. :D | |
| wolf 35:31 | |
| I’m currently working on two things in the pursuit of asyncio: selectors and deque. Not much progress yet since I’ve had a busy week here at work, but I’m still on-track for delivery of asyncio before PyCon; no impassible road-blocks yet. I’ve got all the hardware I need and I’m gonna start running things on the CPX. My goal remains asyncio to allow rainbows and IR to coexist. | |
| Discussion (in the weeds) 36:34 | |
| * suggestions for Adafruit_CircuitPython_Motor (CGrover) 36:44 | |
| * DC motor control | |
| * they are linear so you can calculate distance once you know speed | |
| * Add initial voltage required for spinning | |
| * recalculate optimum speed based on battery depletion. know when to head home and charge | |
| * TODO: file an issue on Adafruit_CircuitPython_Motor | |
| * dotstar weirdness 41:52 kattni | |
| * dotstar updating varies for each board | |
| * TODO: follow up with circuitpython issue | |
| * write up issue for testing 3.0, expand existing issue | |
| * noe 56:08 key repeat is an OS thing | |
| * 58:37 python on microcontroller newsletters | |
| * https://github.com/adafruit/python-for-microcontrollers-newsletter | |
| * circuitpython written in rust | |
| * initial samd21 work is coming | |
