@sommersoft 7:21
|
||
Hugs: @tannewt for making the SAMD peripheral functions more modular; really opens up some future growth. @Dan Halbert for the myriad of troubleshooting on GitHub & Discord (and probably the forums, too) this week. @CGrover for the MIDI boards and exploration; its inspirational to see that stuff pop up. And a group hug for all the things my exhausted mind can't conjure up right now.
|
||
|
||
@cater 7:54

@sommersoft 16:29
|
||
Status: didn't get much further on FrequencyIn. Did manage to rebase to current master with the peripheral function changes. That was my mushy brain limit. Will re-attack when I get back later this week.
|
||
|
||
@cater 16:52
|
||
* nothing last week.
|
||
* this week start work on ht16k33 led backpack work:

@cefn 20:42
|
||
Hammering out dents: see recording for image.
|
||
|
||
Built landscape and double-landscape Hackintosh and Windows 10 images for testing of cross-platform tools.
|
||
|
||
Built https://vgkits.org/blog/connecting-intro/ information - cross platform instructions for getting started (fairly generic to any ESP8266).
|
||
|
||
Built cross-platform vgkits-vanguard package to deliver command line tools to adopters of Vanguard, cutting the install steps and complexity opening up use of Circuitpython, Espruino, Adafruit_Blinka, and even Punyforth to a single command and a <20 second flashing routine.
|
||
|
||
See https://pypi.org/project/vgkits-vanguard/ for my first ever tool published to PyPI! It works too
|
||
|
||
Started just trying to build out to this, and as it became more and more insane had to solve it via building my own PyPI package. https://vgkits.org/blog/connecting-with-miniterm/
|
||
|
||
Guide and feedback welcome: https://vgkits.org/blog/pip3-howto/
|
||
|
||
Sorry this is the best landing page for connecting to Vanguard (or any other CircuitPython/Micropython ESP8266 assuming you have the drivers) over USB using vgkits-vanguard https://vgkits.org/blog/vanguard-usb-howto/ welcome feedback and issues if this can be of use to anyone else. All the other links I shared are not so useful.
|
||
|
||
@CGrover 24:21
|
||
Besides pushing memory limits due to some large string arrays and trying to use OLED and TFT display libraries for text, been predominately heads-down revising some PCB designs. Reached my limit for hand-soldering and needed to make some adjustments. (Met my hand-soldering nemeses: SOT-723 and SOT23-5.) Still need to experiment with CPy memory management approaches but I’m enjoying the learning process.
|
||
Will complete the CPy-based DSP-G1 MIDI synth this week. Also plan to send the next batch of four “Rover” PCBs to OSH Park in a couple of days.
|
||
Off topic: my band’s final gig is Saturday. A great 15-year run with my brothers from another mother. Mixed emotions.
|
||
|
||
@dhalbert 25:35
|
||
* Debugging PDMIn mic issues on CPX. Seemingly fixed by tannewt's changes.

|
||
@sdw_nj 50:42
|
||
I just did a bit of reading/research last week. This week I'm going to concentrate on working my way through the micro:bit micropython documentation and trying as many of the examples as I have the ability to try. I've found a few things to recommend documentation improvements for.
|
||
After getting through the documentation I'll check out bitio. Then I'll figure out what to do next.
|
||
|
||
@brentr 58:16
|
||
* updated sgp30 to use new naming for gas sensors. updated learn guides

|
||
Discussion (In the weeds):
|
||
* spi flash eraser/ zombies 51:48
|
||
* main.py caused continuous interrupts thus freezing out the repl
|
||
* safemode uf2 might be too much
|
||
* very rare, documentation on erase might be best solution
|
||
* watchdog timer to safe mode could work as well
|
||
* #offtopic still valid 54:55
|
||
* behavior changes vs closing the channel down
|
||
* moderation should occur on every channel including #offtopic
|
||
* gameboy update 59:20
|
||
* jerryn how to check out repo 1:03:05
|
||
* tags not found for submodules
