My latest blog post: Testing Oops! All Servos!
https://mikecoats.com/testing-oops-all-servos/
Do the level-shifters work in both directions? Can you measure the current draw? How far can you push the Oops! All Servos!, microcontroller and servos? Development sponsored by JLCPCB.

A quick one for the #circuitPython experts out there…
Is there a SoftPWM or SoftServo library out there? Or is it time to bit the bullet and code up some janky timer based demo to get past the 8 PWM hardware limit on the ESP32-S3?

Quick Post #8: Update to Multi-Function Display Using PyPortal
About 7 years ago, I got a PyPortal and used it to cycle through and display 3-5 types of information. Over time, I sometimes varied the information (it had a COVID display during the worst of COVID, now replaced with pollen counts). And as API's for the information came and went, I made other changes. But it still used the original, now a

i worked on a #circuitpython handheld game with @ecken called prop-it, combining its nod to bop-it and the fact that its powered by the rp2040 prop-maker feather. the code flexes a lot of fun circuitpython features (audio mixer and audio speed to name a few) and as always Noe did a great job with the design. its also super fun to play, my high score is 405

Playing around with the newly released 1.0 version of RV Circuit Studio, a #CircuitPython IDE that wants to replace MU. It's really good and has a ton of features - love the included serial plotter. More at https://github.com/ArmstrongSubero/rvcircuit-studio

Another weird day of DIY between meetings and frontend prototypes at work.
If a colleague asks you if they can build a DIY keyboard-shortcut-button-box-for-powerpoint-ui-papercuts, you should always agree to do it. The large 30 mm arcade buttons are a great touch.
The Adafruit Kee Boar is a super fun board. I'd argue #circuitPython is a little too easy. I was able to get the button input as HID device with the documentation in minutes.

This was so kind. An exchange student who took both my #CircuitPython & my #SwiftUI apps courses made this for me. The flowers are 3D printed & the vase was laser cut. Lovely.

I am trying to get this TEA 5767 to work. This ESP32S3 does not have a onboard I2C so I read that I have to use 4.7kOhm resistors to create a pull-up.
The device is connected to 3.3v and the pins SCL,SDA are connected to 3.3V and the pins 4 and 5 on the board.
I use busio.I2C and can get a connection and lock on the I2C.
i2c.scan() does not find the 0x60 address but sometimes I get "'0x8', '0x9', '0xa', '0xb'"

The top feature project on Autodesk Instructables today is by my Physical Computing students Noah Priest & Vinith Ayapilla! An accessible driving game they created for children with disabilities in the Campus School at Boston College. Built in #CircuitPython. Students present their accessible tech work today. Congrats Nick & Vin!

SerialPlotster! I miss the #Arduino serial plotter when doing #CircuitPython / #MicroPython, but it's too greedy with the serial port. I wanted a tiny stand-alone data plotter app, so I built one (w/claude's help). It's pretty flexible on data input and fast to launch https://github.com/todbot/SerialPlotster

Had a bit more fun with #esp32 and #circuitpython - I really love how quick you can iterate and protoype with circuitpython!
Added a PIR motion sensor and a SR04 sonar sensor to the setup.
The sonar sensor was really easy, the PIR sensor needed a bit of tinkering to understand what dial does what.
Both works well.
Now to set an alarm when either of them goes off to wake the device up from light sleep. Let's see which one works best for that scenario.
But this is so much fun!

@tobozo I tried it. What a difference!
Now the RSSI is at around -40 to -42 and there are no send errors, send retries or send timeouts since I added the antenna.
Very cool 😎 as I can keep using these modules after all.
I also figured out how to get them fully running on CircuitPython.
This was my first time soldering after probably more than 20 years ...
