What's happening in Magnus Ice? Alright, check this out, right? I want to tell you all about this little situation that happened to me. I was at the club with my boy Will, right? And we chilling doing that thing, and the club I go to, a lot of people frequent, a lot of sane people go, you know how it is, kind of clickish in the club sometimes. So anyway, whatever, I'm a familiar face. Me and my girl are a familiar face in here. So that was funny, I didn't mean to snort like that. Anyway, so I get up in there and I'm chilling out for a little bit, and then my boy Will starts talking to this one girl he knows, and they're chatting or whatever, and she's got her friend with her. She's black, they're both black girls, right? And he comes over to me smiling and laughing and he says to me, yep, she was like, yo, her friend thinks you're mad cute.   Because you see me with one? That's it? And I notice that this happens a lot. This happened to me a few times in the past.    Like, damn, how does word travel that motherfucking fast?  Whenever you see a brother with a white woman, that does not mean that he is exclusive. That does not mean that he just mess with white girls, okay? He could just have a, what do you want, whatever I want to call it. He just has a large palette of tastes, like I do, okay? I like a lot of different types of women. It don't matter to me. Like I said, you know what I'm saying? Then y'all black ball us like we some type of race trader or something.  Okay, so top jump to conclusion. See now, if she had to just talk to me or just say, hey, he's cute, then she could have got to know me for a second. Then I could have dropped the bomb.  But now at least she know and no one's half the battle. You got what I'm saying? You ain't got to deal with all that.  Like when I see a black woman with a white man, I don't think. I've never thought like that.  You know what I'm saying? I see black women with white men every once in a while. You don't see it that much. But when I do, actually it always surprises me. It always just like I see a unicorn.  Like it always throws me off for a second. I'm not against it. You know what I mean? I'm like that, but I'm always like wow. Because I just don't see it that much. That's probably why black men watch Scandal so much because y'all just don't see it that much. But yeah, I'm just like wow. I mean that's it.    And just remember this video. And next time you see a brother with a white girl, just say hold up. Tauro Magnus said that he might just like variety. You see that Lisa? That brother likes variety. He ain't no race trader. Mm-hmm girl, let's go. See?  Like I said, with my last video, only 9% of us date outside the race. 9% of black people date outside the race. Interracial dating is not an epidemic. It is not an epidemic. 9%. And I think it's even less with white people. It's like 3% of white people or something like that. Okay?  Interracial dating is not a problem or an epidemic. Alright? Talk to y'all later.


Right, good morning John. I think the students should be joining in soon. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer before we get into our session. Let's pray. Father we thank you so much for this time. We thank you for giving us yet another opportunity to come together and learn Lord we thank you for this entire course of urban church planting and thank you for everything that you have imparted in us Lord. We pray that even as we continue to learn that Holy Spirit you will speak and minister that you will open up new doors, new visions, new plans and hearts in our hearts and our Spirit Lord to build your kingdom. We thank you Lord. We give you all the praise and glory. We just submit this time into your hands. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Alright so last class we we looked at chapter 24 when it comes to ministry. How do we make the journey? How do we step out? We get on the ground, get started. We establish commitment to the call that God has for us and remember when in ministry whether it is church planting or any other you know any other part of ministry. Distractions are part of it. There's going to be distractions coming from every side. There's going to be challenges that are going to be ups and downs. You know life is not always easy right? You will have ups and downs right? There will be things that you have not foreseen or situations that you may not have thought of just come up right in front of you but here's the thing you stay focused. I love what I just a reminder you know as long as when Jesus was walking on the water you know I always think about this. As long as Jesus was walking on the water and he said Peter come forth and Peter also walked on the water. He was doing the impossible but as long as his eyes was on Jesus Peter was able to walk on the water. The moment he turned his face and looked elsewhere looked at the storm he began to sink and it's a powerful lesson for us you know you may be walking on the storm you may be walking on waters doing the impossible doing what God has called us to do. Stay focused let your eyes be fixed on Jesus. He is the author the completer of our faith right? Be tenacious be persistent right? Don't quit until God says your work is done right now you know I would always say this ministry is not for the faint hearted. If we are you know when I say ministry I'm talking about you know first planning, pioneering, ministry we talked about it right? We need to be spiritually strong. We need to be consistent. We need to be disciplined. We need to be you know walk in wisdom, plan, prepare, make the right decisions. There's so much that is involved as you make this journey right? We've got to keep learning, keep adjusting, protect what you have you know last class we just talked about that right? We protect what you have nurtured over the years right? So this could be in wrong alliances you know nowadays we've got ministries working together that's wonderful but make sure that you choose the right ministry. Carefully decide how you want to you know together as ministries how you want to serve the Lord together right? Be a steward not an owner that means encourage others to be part of what you're doing. Take care of yourself and talk about yourself.  Take care of it, develop it, grow in it and very importantly plan for the future generations right? When you plan you know the Apostle Paul did it where he was able to raise up leaders and he appointed these leaders he knew that raising up the next generation was very important right? Because they'll be leaving the legacy. When you raise up the next generation you know that the work is going to continue and that is the call leaving a legacy right? And then there'll come a time when you will have to step out and hand over things at the right time. So let's go to chapter 25. If you look at your notes there's just a question there but let's just talk about this right? Now growing up in you know maybe the early 90s I know some of them maybe even before that 90s early 2000s and many of us have seen church right? Like you know what church was and how the church has evolved right? You can also look at the things that are happening in terms of urban living, in terms of life right? Around us you know early 90s we didn't have mobile phones, we didn't have so much that we have right now. So life has been progressing and right now we are in 2023, life will continue to progress. We will definitely see progress year after year, decade after decade. Now this is 2023, 20, 20, 30, 3, 10 years a decade from now it is so obvious that when you look at the future things would be so much more advanced, so much more you know technology, media, all of these things will only cause urban living to just go up to different levels. So let's talk about urban life right now. We did that a little bit of a survey right? We seen that especially in our nation, nation of India, I could also say in Africa we've got a lot of these villages and towns, many of them are moving into cities. So you've got cities that are growing and people are growing, their mindsets are changing, their thinking is changing, the atmosphere is changing meaning the way things are done, everything is changing. So what is the future of urban life? What does it look like? So if you look now there's already so much of advancement but let's just put down three points right? And then put the points here just for our learning, for our understanding right? Number one, when you look at urban life, the future of urban life, there's going to be a mix of culture. Now no matter which country we are in, we will have people from different cultures. There's going to come a time when all these mixed cultures, people from different cultures are going to work together and most probably there'll be a time when these cultures or these traditions that people walk by, people followed for hundreds and hundreds of years, slowly they're going to die away, right?  And that's number one, that's a mix of culture and then we'll also see how it's going to impact and affect the churches, right? The church, the future of the church or the ministry. Mix of culture two is because of this urban development, right? So we will see development in the corporate sectors and the government and accessibility. Every area there's going to be development, right? So this will increase job opportunities. So we're going to see the economy grow. People are going to get more jobs. I know that right now there's a lot of debate on the economy is low, there are no jobs, but that is untrue. There are jobs, there's so much and job opportunities are just going to increase. And three, there's going to be easy access. When I say easy access, easy access for amenities, accessibility, easy access for work, for many, many, many things, right? Now look at this. I would say maybe five years, right? Not very too long, five years, right? Eight two thousand and eighteen, right? About two thousand and eighteen, seventeen, eighteen, five years before. The whole concept of work from home was very few, right? I remember meeting people and you know whenever they say, hey, I work from home, I'd be wondering doing what, you know, what can you work from home? And you know, I'm sure most of them must have felt this, right? Work from home, five years back. Now we're in 2023, work from home is a normal thing. It's normal, right? You've got companies who, especially in the nation of India, if you see many corporate organizations and companies have closed down their, you know, their spaces which they have taken because it's no use. They might as well just work from home and give better productivity. And now there's easy access for, with all, you know, even the smallest of things. You can get your groceries home, you can get your products home, they come to your door. Nowadays, I'm just reading this article on this article. It's an Indian news article, Times of India. And it said, it said that the nation of India is coming up with, you know, these apartment complexes where everything is inside, including schools and hospitals. So you don't really have to go out. You can stay in that community and everything is there inside. Right? So why am I talking about all this? The reason is we're going to be also looking at now, as a church, how must you and I change or adapt through these changing things that we're seeing around. Look at future projections. We look at, okay, there's going to be people coming from all kinds of towns and villages. They're going to come to cities. And now if you have planted a church in the city, how prepared must you be? What must you do to plan and prepare for you to reach out to every community, every sphere of influence? So the future of urban life is only going to develop more and more. And now one of the things that we can look at now, let's go to a few disadvantages. Right now, there are plenty of disadvantages, but I also want to, I just want to pick up maybe two disadvantages of urban life. Right? Number one is being hybrid and multifunctional. Now, it's not that it's a disadvantage, but it's more of a, being hybrid is good. Right? But there are times when it can be difficult for people. Right? In the sense, we are people. We need people. We are relational by nature. Right? So for example, you know, when COVID hit in 2020, we were all locked into our homes. We really understood the value of people. I'm sure I especially did, because it was too much. For me, it was like, because we are people person. We need to talk to people. We minister to people. Right? And another disadvantage could be lack of spaces or lack of privacy in a growing setting, lack of open spaces, lack of pollution, sense of, there's no sense of community. So all these could be disadvantages of urban living, but let's look at the future of the urban church. Now, I know there's no points here, but I did quite a lot and I just read about it and there's not much that is available online. You know, many of them have shared their thoughts, shared, there are a couple of books also talking about how you and I as believers must be prepared for the future and look at the church of the future. But here's what I want to do this class, right? I want maybe some of us to share what do you feel is going to be, which is already there, which is going to increase, or what are the new prospects or things that are going to come when it comes to church, when it comes to ministry. What is it that you can just feel free, you share your thoughts and we can put them down. But what do you think is the future of the urban church? Like for example, are we going to see thousands of people in each church, which is wonderful? Or are we going to see thousands of churches planted with smaller locations? Or are we going to see more of hybrid churches? Are we going to see more campus churches online? So what is it that you feel? So you can think of maybe in the next decade, 2023 to 2033. What do you feel is the future of the urban church? And I'm going to leave this open. So feel free, please feel free to share. Don't be quiet, but feel free to share and I'm sure we will learn together. We will share these thoughts. Nobody is wrong. It could be a simple thing, but it's all right. It's good to share and just learn together. Is that okay? So I'll just leave it open. What do you feel in terms of the urban church? What do you feel in the next decade is going to be most impactful? Or you can just share anything on the church the next decade? Yeah, I was thinking there would be more churches and people also would love smaller communities and I think there would be a lot of church plans and there will be a lot of people who will come coming to know the Lord love the Lord especially looking for communities because that's what lacking corporate and to share to discuss to to share the burdens and all that. So I think there will be a lot of focus on smaller churches is just my thought. But there will be more church plans and no more people would come to know the truth of the word and at the same time technology also would go into a very high impact mode. Reaching people at their need like looking at not only on Sunday service but also on weekdays how the word would reach people so the technology would definitely have a lot more impact when it comes to the next decade. Thereby there will be a lot of people who would come to know Jesus. I think people would be even willing to introduce people to churches because of the word, because of the community, because of the availability of word in our fingertips. That's nice. Thank you so much John. Like we said one of the disadvantages was communities and John said it well and I know many people who refer to be in the smaller churches maybe maybe 100, 150 or even smaller. Because you got now I'm not saying we don't want the churches to grow. I'm not saying that. So I'm sure that's not what even John meant. But John was trying to say is that people are going to look for these smaller churches. The bigger mega churches are going to continue. That's going to happen. But looking for those smaller churches where people can really build relationship, build communities. And I completely agree with John. People would definitely look for that. But then we also need to balance. We can't say hey my church is growing to 200. Now what do I do? I wanted my church to be 100, to build communities. You come up with ideas. We can just plan to do two services or something. So again, thank you John for sharing. I think there will be mega churches as well as there will be more on-house churches as persecutions will be more so online. So online churches will online, okay sorry, so online churches will help when the churches will be demolished by anti-Christ elements. Thank you Subashish. Thank you for sharing. So Subashish says the whole aspect of mega churches may come down. Now I know we are from India but I want you to come out of India. Come out of India. Think globally. I know that persecutions and all these anti-Christ elements and the things are going to come. But let's get out of the box. Let's come out of India. Let's think of it globally. Yes, anyone else would like to say. Thank you Subashish. Thank you for sharing. Ken, maybe some of them from Georgia, Paul, would you like to share some things that are happening at your home and some of the improvements that you have seen and maybe what you can project in the coming years? Yeah Paul, go ahead. Yes, in my country here I see the projection. Yes, the urban churches will continue to grow because there are a lot of revival, restoration, crusades going on. So so many people are going to turn to the Lord and to seek for Jesus. And what is happening even right now, the states, that is the state is already threatened. They have already started bringing sanctions against the church. They say these boner guest churches, they make noise in the urban places. So there are already laws. We have the laws called the National Environment Management Act. They're already imposing it on the churches say if you are going to pray, you are everywhere, everywhere making noise. So you have to pray in low tone. So that is one of the threats I see. And then also to agree with what Jonas talking about the mega churches in my country, mega churches. Now people will be looking for the small, small churches because they have more intimacy with the people to address issues of the people. Whereas in the big urban churches in all people, just many, even the big renowned pastors, they don't have time to focus on the individual problems of people in families. For example, people just go pray and worship, walk and go away. But the small, small churches are more focused on the look after their ships, more than those big mega churches. So that is what I can say for now. Yes. Thank you so much, Paul. Paul, where are you from? Are you from Africa? I'm from Africa, a place called Uganda. Uganda. Okay. So Paul, I just, sorry, I'm going to ask you just one more question, Paul. Over the last 10 years, what have you seen in the church? Like what have you, like when I say church, not your local church, but in Uganda, the church, the body of Christ, you know, you can just share what have you seen that has really impacted over the last 10 years? Like it could be internet, it could be social media. What is it that has helped the church to become stronger or to, you know, just grow? Can you share maybe a few things about this? Yeah, actually it is the social media. When they pray and it is broadcast on the radio and television, then people come to know, hey, there's a powerful church this side, there's powerful church this side, then through media, the radio, that is what makes people to know about the church. So that is what I've been seeing in my country for the last 10 years. Wow. Thank you so much, Paul. Yes, so we see that, you know, media is majorly impacting the church. Anyone else would like to share? Yes, go ahead. Yeah, I just want to share my personal insights. I feel like a lot of youth will be active in the upcoming days, because I don't remember when I was a child, I haven't seen much youth active, like how they are right now. And I feel like so much youth are active in church right now. And as the day goes, I believe much more youth will be taking care of things. Youth will be volunteering and they will be stepping out to preach the gospel. And technology as John has said, technology is also one thing. That's being accepted more in churches right now. Back in when I was a child, I remember pastors preaching, the television is satanic and but right now they have live churches, they are telecasted, they have their own TV channels. And I also feel like even the children, right now I'm teaching in children's church. When I was a child, what doubts I never had, they asked me those things. They are so deeper in the world and their maturity level is kind of different. That's what I feel and they know things more quicker and in the early stages of their life. They know the definition of salvation. When I was a child, I know Jesus is good. I know he gave his life on the cross. That was enough for me. But today's children, they need more information. They need facts, they need proof, they need evidence and they are questioning us why you're saying this, why you're saying that. And I believe in the upcoming days, even children, if we give them enough facts and proofs and evidence that we convince them on their faith, I think even they will be growing stronger and more than us, they might be preaching the gospel much more strongly through their life. I strongly feel that as I'm teaching in children's church right now. So yeah, that's all. Yes, thank you so much, Jafina. So increase in youth. Now it's interesting that Jafina said increase in youth, right? Because if you look at what's happening in some of the countries, there's so much, definitely there is an increase in youth and youth ministry, but there's so much that is happening that the evils of this world, we look at the LGBTQ, the gay community, you look at the rise of openness, of satanic worship, and you look at the rise of all these hearts that are coming up. And also the diluted gospel, but it's interesting to know that we know that God will definitely raise up young people who will stand for the Lord. And also children, yes definitely, children are way more, the questions they ask are questions that we would ask when we were probably 20 years old. But they're so high in their level of learning and their level of grasping what is being taught. So yes, we will see them also. You've got the pros, you've got the cons. And so I love the Psalmist when he says children are like arrows in your quiver. So there's a lot of pros, there's a lot of cons. And as a church, we must be able to use them as arrows, point them to the right direction, have them to understand the things of God and ministry and God's word, because it's going to be increasingly challenging for them in a world that we are seeing right now, where the enemy is just doing so much. So yes, thank you for those two points, Shefina. Anyone else would like to share, what do you think is the future of the urban churches? I'll just share something that I've been thinking of. I think one aspect of the urban church is going to be these the campus churches. Of course, globally, it's still growing. There are a couple of good, when you see globally, there are a couple of churches that already have these campus churches. And I feel that over time, campus churches are going to grow. So what are these campus churches? Campus churches are basically going to be live stream churches, right? So they're going to watch. I think I've shared this last time. So let me just try to explain this concept, right? I read about this, and it's really interesting, and they're already doing it in the United States. And I'm sure it's going to come into different countries. So you've got your main church, main church, for example, starts at 10 a.m., right? And you've got places in different countries or different states, different countries, and there are pockets of churches. So what will happen is here is the 10 a.m. service. Even here, they would start the 10 a.m. service. So they have 40 minutes of worship. So all these places will have the same thing, 40 minutes of worship, then they will have maybe announcements of what and the main service, the main, probably the main sermon will be live streamed from here. And it will be, you know, everyone at these different places, campus churches will watch it live there, right? Now it is like an online church, but it is not an online church because there will be people there sitting. So there will be ministries like live groups, women's ministry, several groups, you know, children's ministry, all of that will be there. But the main service will be that which is followed there. And there will also be a campus pastor who will look after the people there. So that's something that is on the rise, right? And I believe that that is something that especially, you know, when you look at India, we've got so much of, you know, you know, educational growth that's happening, colleges and these great big universities that are coming up. So this could be one, you know, one thing that the church must be prepared for, right, to be able to live stream. Of course, we're doing the live stream now, but to become like a satellite church, right? So campus satellite churches, that's something that will definitely come through. So, yes, I just shared my thought. Anyone else would like to share what do you feel is going to be the future of the church? Do you think that there's going to be street evangelism? Do you think there's going to be healings and miracles? How are these healing and miracles going to be? Just feel free to share your thoughts. It's not only about, you know, church growth, or it's not only about, you know, you know, the growth of the church, but also you can talk about, you can share about what do you think the level of those in the church is going to be, or what are some of the challenges that we will see going forward. Never really thought about some of the challenges, because when you look at what's happening now, things are quite convenient, right?  The click of a button, you watch the entire service online, you pay your tithes online, everything is online. So things are very convenient, but yeah, would anyone like to share? Maybe even when you look at, you know, recently talking to a pastor who was from a church in the village, right in India. It's a proper, like a deep in the village. So you were just talking to him and he was saying, now we have, we had this day, Bible studies online. So happy. Now I've gone to his place in the jungles. It's just one house, and the next house is maybe almost a kilometer away. He said, we have online Bible study. So I talked to myself, wow, this pastor is deep in the jungle. So the first thing I asked him was, is there internet connection? So he said, yeah, there is internet connection. So nowadays, you know, all these internet service providers are there everywhere. There was a time once you go outside of the city, there's no internet, but now deep in the jungles you have internet. So, you know, it's advances that we see. All right. So feel free to think about this, right? Remember, though, the pioneer must always look ahead, plan ahead. He must have the ability to foresee, and he got to foresee things, right? 2033, you know, if you see Bible college, I'm sure things are going to be so much more different. Of course, we stick to God's Word, we teach God's Word. But, you know, there's going to be different topics. There are going to be different ways of ministry. We don't know how things are going to be in this next decade, but we got to foresee things ahead. Okay. These are the things that we see. These are the, you know, the plans that we have. This is what we see globally. And let's be prepared, as we prepare to minister, right? Let's look at this, this last few points here, chapter 27, end the searching and preparing for the future. Number one, looking at trends. What is the trend? You know, I was just talking to our digital distribution head who works with us at ABC, and he was saying that, you know, towards in Bangalore, in our city, there's one portion which is the east of Bangalore. It has the highest number of Instagram and Facebook users across the city, east of Bangalore, because it's more of a corporate IT hub. So he was saying, you know, what, instead of, you know, doing all these worship evenings, booking the venue and, instead of all of that, just do good digital distribution promotions. So the moment people open Instagram, it will show, okay, you know, this is the closest church near you, or, you know, they open Facebook, it'll show. And it's reaching millions of people by the click of one button. So I was just thinking of it, look at what we can do. Looking at trends, we've got to be, we've got to flow with them, right? Two, very important, to balance what you're doing by listening to the Holy Spirit. Very, very important. Now this whole AI and artificial intelligence and all that is coming up, sometimes we are so dependent on them. We tell the Holy Spirit, I'll talk to you later, no. See these tools and all of that that is there is good. But you need the person of the Holy Spirit. He is God. He is the one who will give us the wisdom to use what is there around us, right?  This is just an example, right? You've got to prepare a sermon.   You say, prepare a PPT for discipleship. You'll get the whole thing and it's good. It's wonderful, right? We need these tools. But what is the disadvantage? I'm not going back to God's word. I'm not hearing from the Holy Spirit because everything I got on the line. So here's the thing that we must do. Very important. We spend time in God's word, spend time listening to the Holy Spirit, ask God, speak to Him, spend time in His Word. Then you and I can use the tools that God has given us, right? That's where you will find the anointing. That's where you will find whatever you're doing with a blessing minister to people, right? Rather than, you know, I'm not saying, don't use Google and all of the material that's available online. Use it. But first, go to the Lord. First, ask God, listen to the Holy Spirit. Very important, pray and massage in the future. That means foreseeing, trying to come up with strategies and ideas about the future and future preparedness. When you talk about preparedness, you say, okay, now this is what we will do going forward. We see these other trends, these other ways that we can reach out and preparing for them, right? So when you look at, you know, we talked about youth and children, we talked about smaller church communities. So how can we prepare for them? Come up with ways, come up with teaching programs, discipleship programs, and there's many ways but to be prepared for the future, right? So these are just a few points and there's more that we can learn. What we will do is, next class, we'll just look at chapter 28, 29 as well. I know it's the appendix, but I just wanted to go through this to get an idea on how you and I must prepare for ministry. So next class, we'll just do this, and then we should be able to close off for this entire course, right? Any other questions, any other thoughts before we close? Okay, right. So we'll close for today.  It's nothing wrong to read about your nation and about what's happening, the technological advances, read about it, update yourself, be prepared, learn, develop, right? And that way, what are we doing is we are preparing ourselves for God to just open doors for us. And when those doors open, we're not in panic mode. I know, okay, I've prepared for this. I know that this door is opened by God and I've prepared and I know how to minister to them. All right, so read about it, right? Go back home, read books, try to understand your culture, the things that are coming up, and I'm sure these are very important when it comes to ministry, right? All right, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and have a good week ahead. I'll see you soon. God bless.

How would you say that? Could be layani Sox will be an alright team like the bullpens better the starters are okay. The offense is alright They're not like a bad team, but I don't think they're They're nowhere near like contention No, the rookie debut is sort of like a variation. It's not like the true rookie So it will not have as much value I'm gonna stop calling out every single purple guys because there's one a pack I'm a random debut twins There's a Suzuki debut that looks like an image variation right there Judge all-star purple Melendez debut Royals That's getting all this money because their owner really cares That's that's where they're getting the money.

I Don't think no, no, I don't think so Bernzee. I Know what you're talking about now though Doesn't like tops work with her Matty Ava tricky purple. I know they work with a lot of artists I know what you're talking about now though Bryson Stott base purple rookie debut Matt Brash 5-star man. Oh, there's a Jake McCarthy X Fractor rookie auto redemption Extract will be to 99 on the rookie auto There we go solid McCarthy hit for the Diamondbacks Wait extractor auto might be different numbering in the base Chrome Auto It says numbered so it might be different. It doesn't say a specific number on the checklist I'm looking at but the baser to 99 I would think that that might be the exact same thing Purple rookie Nick plumber for the Mets There you go D-backs That's our first numbered auto Stop debut Dude, I was Dylan I were looking at earlier Shane the cut auto checklist and five-star is pretty awesome Detmer's rookie purple debut Angels You got some presidents in there too. There's some celebrities. There's a Paul Walker cut auto There's a Chadwick Boseman cut auto There's a bet yeah, Betty white Teddy Roosevelt Bush Obama Reagan and there was a Woodrow Wilson, which is probably the least desirable presidential autos of those five Hunter green rookie purple for the Reds Yeah, they're Coby Coby's cool, too 125 extra thank you and Felix Batista So extractor auto be to 125 for your D-backs Alright, we've got six more half a case to go everybody. Good luck. Let's see low numbers and nice autos Tani Eduardo Rodriguez So the all-star with Tani has him batting and pitching Purple rookie payante the other one we saw earlier with arose him just like standing there There's probably maybe one or two for each guy though No case hit in these as far as I know Purple rookie debut wonder Franco raise Yeah, Mike that's our Steve Cohen is Doing for the Mets what every MLB fan hopes they do for hopes you and their owners do for their team Let's Easter again. I Need someone like Steve Cohen to buy the Red Sox Purple rookie Duran for the twins Francisco Morales on the rookie auto non numbered For the Phillies rookie purple Bryce elder Braves No, uh, purple rookie Kevin Smith A's Super jealous super jealous Torkelson base purple Matt Olson Martin Perez Connor Joe I have a sale Garcia Rich Hill Kunya all-star Melendez Ricky purple Royals Purple rookie debut Matt Brash Mariners Purple rookie debut Joe Ryan twins Price and stodd purple Nick plumber rookie Mets Nick Allen A's rookie purple Pepeod Detmer's debut angels rookie purple Seth Lugo Do not know is that what it says Joe do not know Yeah, AAV wise. Yeah, Mike. I don't know if it'll be like the longest deal But at the same time like a lot of these contracts teams are just paying out like longer deals to spread out the AAV And I don't think people really care at the end of the deal like what happens like It's so like the initial career signing for the Giants was was fantastic. There's a Pena base Purple Lorenzen and even still it even still is for the Mets Roy He's gonna give you value-wise of the next like four five six seven years It's not gonna matter from team of the contract and also it's like either you're getting the free agents Or you're not either you're in the market or you're just not know where it not anywhere near it So I am not that but I can give you a link to his channel I should give you the link right to the stream that he's on right now. So there you go There is a the Lincoln shot right now for the baseball stream So that'd be so Matt's MLB rakes are a different channel. Hey, you got it. I don't know Oh, Tony's gonna get you. I think he's gonna get like 10 years like 600 million something crazy, right? It has to be insane He's like si young candidate pitcher and like one of the best DHS in the game Got a blue rookie debut Joe Ryan twins Solid car for the twins there 111 of 199 purple angle Purple Chassin, I mean you could assume that Shane you could assume that The angels aren't gonna give them the money. No, it won't happen. I don't think I don't It's like a 20% chance. He would stay with the angels We shall see what happens though because the angels On paper are a really good team Purple rookie Bryson stop Billy's their rotation made great strides last year. They were like a top 10 rotation Their bullpen's got to get better But they have like guys coming in the farm and then if their offense stays healthy, it's it's a it's a Ridiculous, it's a really good offense Miranda debut for the twins It's just a matter of like things kind of breaking in the right way for the angels right now I think the interesting to watch J-Rod generation now Mariners purple MJ Melendez debut for the Royals stop doing the debut island ban and rookie purple Orioles Musgrove Patek, I guess we'll see because I don't I think the angels if they can though. They'll try to make a push Try to win a championship. I don't I don't think they're gonna pay Ohtani Although hard to see more than like What what team is gonna pay Ohtani?  Oh, we got a green Craig Kimbrell Dodgers numbered 45 of 75 and a purple rookie Jeremy Pena Astros Purple rookie Cobb, right British or Brattish CJ Abrams base rookie Padres Matt Duffy Granky purple Brasso. Oh, yeah, Paul's a great day prime Altopia beautiful weather outside Very cloudy and kind of cool in Florida. Love it. Love it Purple Bradley Zimmer Like 65 degrees in cloudy. Oh, yes The perfect weather purple Andrew McCutcheon. All right guys four more boxes here Let's see where we're at Five to go in the next one Yeah, I know Paul. It's kind of crazy. I was like, oh, it's gonna be chilly and Around Christmas time or like on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in Florida like that Maybe happened once when I was growing up Usually it's like 85 degrees for some reason. I'm used to Christmas being like the warmest day in like six months overall opinion. I'm I mean, it's top trim update. It's It really depends on like the checklist, right? The checklist is good. So I think it's fine Purple rookie Azucar for the Padres. I think the values are good, too We got J rod rookie the hot the hobby is good. You're you're more likely to get autos and numbered cards purple rookie debut of a Dalbruhan rays Magic your back.  Oh and Miller. Oh Yeah, they definitely look better. I think when Foltz is there kind of like it really It makes him so much better when he's there Haki not and on the Cardinals rookie auto Purple rookie Muziati Phillies Yeah, I think update updates fine. If you like tops chrome You want some of those rookies or any guys like update unis? It's good Purples is Zuki debut cubs. Yeah, Moe Wagner. Yeah, dude Moe and Franz is great. I love I love that The best part about it is a lot of the Magic Key contributors like a lot of their Like you look at okay, they're trapped in Palo number one and he's living up to that hype If Suggs can stay healthy, I think he's a pretty good player Franz has been fantastic There's just a Zuki rookie, but then you look at guys like Bull bull Moe Wagner Markel Foltz a lot of their really key contributors and they got for like next to nothing. Which is awesome Purple Rookie William Woods Braves It's the oh Hunter Green Jeremy Pena debut purple for the Astros Right, but I mean you're getting more purples the odds are better for autos and numbered cards purple rookie Uh, la Vestita for the twins Purple Rookie Palosillo's Guardians. I just think if you're gonna spend the same amount on mega boxes and hobby boxes You should just rip a hobby like like that amount in hobby boxes debut purple Julio Rodriguez Mariners purple Trevor's story. They're green Fayedo George Kirby debut rookie mariners. Oh the quad case five star. That's gonna be a blast purple CJ Abrams Jose Miranda rookie purple twins Purple Giorna hobby box and more expensive the odds are better Like I said if You're gonna spend the same amount and you can get a hobby box I would probably do that rather than ripping that amount in retail boxes And that's just a general rule of thumb as well Purple Rookie debut Stephen Kwan Guardians. I think that's how update always is Jeffrey purple Gary Sanchez It's kind of like instead of having a base refractor. It's like the base purple So I mean a top-scroll hobby. You have debate you have the base refractors in every single pack It's just purple in the end this addition Pilkington there. I don't think he's lazy.  We hit an aqua. There's a wonder Franco rookie debut purple What are the color we hit aqua? We hit a Base refractor we hit a green purple Chuck Peterson How many I'll be with junior five autos so far to you on Duran rookie twins purple Nothing wrong with her in retail. Yeah, exactly Cole purple Steven Matz purple rookie still Seth angels Purple rookie Abrams debut for the Padres Donaldson Freeman rookie purple debut Alec Thomas for the d-backs a 20 gonsolin refractor number to 299 for the Dodgers So so far we've seen either one number to one auto per box and sometimes there's been more than that so it seems like at least one of of either and Then we had a box that had two number. I think we had a box out of auto Anna numbered proper rookie Melendez Royals for hobby Abrams debut purple rookie LaDolo Reds paying your generation now Joe Ryan debut purple twins wit debut Yes, the only like the big difference in update and hobby is that the the auto checklist and like even just the whole checklist for update It's a little less Because it's not like as big. I don't know what other word to use it for it's not as like a You know an anticipated release. It's just updating You know the rookies that had that have come along that didn't have base any other ones that played a lot You know guys that switch teams There's a Suzuki debut for the Cubs Purple rookie debut Mackenzie Gore Padres Jeremy Pena rookie. We all know baseball is not like other sports. Here we go We got a Reese Hoskins to 125 X factor auto Phillies nice hit Phillies Love X factor dude. That's one of my favorite parallels Any top strong 30 of 125 purple rookie Brandon Donovan Cardinals Pena debut all star Verlander Matt Duffy J rod debut Joe Perez purple rookie for the Stroh's Pepe art rookie purple for the Dodgers. See the auto the it says one of every like 60 packs For the autos and that seems about right maybe even a little more than we've seen this case Can see gore stott debut for the Phillies and we hit two numbered autos in the case CJ Abrams one of which was a rookie redemption purple Lugo purple pavetta. Oh Boy Bowman transcendent purple Max Scherzer When he'll cruise generation now purple drew smiley purple rookie Royce Lewis debut twins Cooler Rodriguez rookie Rich you listed it cheap, huh? Hey, maybe I should buy in there's a debut purple O'Neill cruise Yeah, so we'll get base rookies of like Abrams Torkels and Rodriguez and wit and then you'll get debuts of like wander and like who's guys that were in the other The previous top scum release we'll get like the debut additions which are not as sought after But numbered debuts can still hold pretty good value Dude, I'm so excited for Eminence World Cup on on Friday. It was a buzz debut last one everybody And then we'll recap color and autos After every daytime case actually before I keep going here. Let's see. What do we got in the next one? Still five to go Five to go you guys. I Believe it's and again. These are fairly cheap because there is a whole case white socks rockies brewers twins and Rangers All of those teams. Well, some of them are on sale. Some of them are already just really cheap white socks Rockies Brewer's twins Rangers Purple debut Bobby Whit jr. All right, let's see a super factor now purple rookie Crissan Criesen Creson Would you what would you say there? Creson Crescent so Ryan Crescent say a Suzuki purple rookie Maranachio That is the most Yankees player name I've ever heard of Ron Maranachio Do is probably born in Yankee Stadium Ron Maranachio, he's from New York, isn't it? Jersey same thing. That's just South New York Bobby Whit jr. Rookie base Maranachio Luke Williams rookie purple for the Marlins. Yeah, Ron Maranachio is in the new Mario brothers movie you guys Be pretty sweet purple Michael Fulmer Ron Bronx Maranachio Mookie all-star Lucius Fox. I Can't do the Batman voice right now.

I'm familiar with some good rum Star game Goldschmidt yon gomes purple a blue refractor of Tyler Neyquan Reds Numbered 74 of 199 Blue to 199 is weird the number again an update always gets me. It's a quant base always gets me But we got extractors an update like numbered extractors and that's That's it for me y'all love it. Dude. That's awesome Brandon Our rookie purple la La Vastita la la Vastita we have we have not decided Dylan and I what we're gonna We're gonna say pronounce that as And a jar of dirt. Yep Good rum in a jar of dirt stanton Purple Chris Bassett named after the dog breed Chassine purple rookie Joey Wentz for the Tigers and And that is gonna do it one sec. We'll do a quick recap All right, so we do all of our numbers first so the refractors in this our number to 299 I can't Tony Gonsolin and Orlando Arcia Arcia Aqua Zach Grand Key number to 250 a blue debut Joe Ryan to 199 blue Tyler Naikwin to 199 Greens are to 75 you got Craig Kimbrell a gold debut O'Neill cruise.

Thanks again everybody case two coming up next You


So I think we can Jen don't know start with a K Eaman from Pionics So K with a discuss about open hardware and software for EV Chargers. So let's hear More from him now. Thank you Yeah, thank you. Thanks for having me Today I'm going to talk to you about the everest project and how you can use it to build your own vehicle chargers With some hardware designs that I will also present to you First few words about myself I'm Kai I have a background in computer science and robotics and I've been working at Pionics on the everest project for Over two years now Here's a short overview of the talk first. I'm going to give you a rough overview of how electric vehicle charging works This will be followed by an introduction to to everest then I'm going to show you the open hardware designs the yeti and Yakboard and how you can use them to build an AC charger But also how you can kind of abuse them to build a DIY DC charger and in the end I will conclude with a Short how to how you can integrate your own custom hardware into everest to use it as a charger So let's dive right in what's needed to Get a car charging you obviously need some form of connection between the car and the charging station this needs some form of a data link and Power link here in Europe. We have standardized on the CCS type 2 combo plug For DC charging and in other parts of the world you have different physical connectors that can also be electrically different and Speaking of the electrical side of things You can do obviously AC charging you can do it with different voltages For example, if you're in the US, you're probably doing one phase AC charging with 110 volts and here in Europe You do it with up to three phases at 230 volts You can also do DC charging at different voltages and currents here It's totally dependent on what the cars battery actually wants and there are different communication standards Specified for AC and DC charging Let's focus on AC charging first Right now almost every AC charger out there uses a super simple PWM signal to exchange if the car is plugged in and requests power and From the charging station side to encode The amount of current that the car can draw and this PWM signal is transmitted over the control pilot wire in the plug DC charging on the other hand is a bit more complex Here you have the Deanspec 71 to 1 which is mostly used for DC charging right now There's a demo which uses can as its Signaling a player, but that is mainly used in Asia and then there's the iso 1511 8 The iso 1511 8 specifies communication using power line communication It is a communication standard for DC as well as AC charging and You can get a lot more interesting information from the vehicle from the charger side For example things like the state of charge of the battery or how long it will take to charge up to like 80% or 100% The iso 1511 8 especially like the dash 2 has been around for quite a few years now But it hasn't really been used in that many cars and charges Up until now the reason for that is is quite a complex standard and Fork of the iso 1511 8 in form of the Deanspec was available quite early on But things are changing quite quickly here with the introduction of the iso 1511 8 dash 20 and the focus on bidirectional power transfer More interest from manufacturers is coming and we can definitely see that in the industry right now So how do you actually charge a car? I would categorize it broadly in three categories. You have the basic AC charging, you know when you're at home You might have some form of a portable charger that you can just plug into your wall socket Or you have a wall-mounted charger with up to like 11 or even 22 kilowatts and The same kinds of charges you can also find in a more rugged diced Casing in the public which are the slow AC Chargers Nages plug your car in and leave it for a few hours and come back and Then you have the smart AC charging which not a lot of cars support that yet this is using the iso 1511 8 and The I guess most prominent feature here would be plug-and-charge which is simplified Yeah, it's a better or more secure way of Authenticating a charging session with the back-end systems What might be interesting here and what's upcoming is bidirectional AC charging where you can Use your car as a as a battery and return, you know electricity back into the grid Yeah, and then we have DC charging as I've already mentioned with the Dean's back in the iso This is what you typically see near the highway the big fast Chargers But there's also smaller units for home use coming up That you'll make use of the Of the fact that you don't have that many conversion losses if you do DC-DC conversions and then use it maybe you know your car as a buffer battery or as a as a house battery So now that we kind of know what charging is it can't really be that hard can it? but unfortunately There's still lots of issues with either broken charges with software bugs in them or even electric vehicles that have software Bugs that don't get patched in time I mean things are definitely improving there with over-the-air update capabilities, but you still have issues and Yeah, this usually problems here come from the high complexity of the involved standards and Because there's a lot of your companies and manufacturers involved the interoperability between implementations can also be a bit problematic Yeah, now let's have a quick look at the Part of the technical ecosystem that has evolved around EV charging in the last 10 to 15 years You obviously have a lot of you know functionality you have a lot of manufacturers Operators in the for the back end systems involved and lots of protocols and standards you have the electric vehicle side of things You have the charging station you have back-end systems that then have to use roaming protocols to talk to other back-end systems You might have energy management systems involved or even grid operators if you're a big charging parks So as you can see there's a lot of interaction between different actors and this is what makes it quite complex But luckily for you will only focus on the part that I've encircled in red here the Communication between the electric vehicle and the charging station So let's talk how the basic PWM charging Works you have this control pilot signal. It's a simple plus minus 12 volt signal And the car can lower the positive part of the signal By adding resistors to it To signal different states to the charging station If it lowers it to nine volts it says that the car is connected if it lowers it to six volts It says that it wants to charge and that's pretty much it. There's a few other voltages that you can set but Those are the two that you typically only need and since it's a PWM signal The charger can then use the duty cycle to encode the available current Which typically goes between like six and thirty two amps at least here in Europe and then we have the high-level charging this is Using a power line communication on top of this control pilot signal uses the same wire and uses the home plug Green fire standard and how this roughly works is that a logical network between the Charger the electrical vehicles supply equipment and the car is set up using slack then IPv6 addresses are assigned on both sides the car then sends UDP broadcasts and waits for a charger to reply With its IP address and port number Then the car opens a TCP TLS connection to the charger and starts speaking ISO 15118 on that connection and that protocol is an XML based protocol that is then Encoded in a binary representation Called XE which makes it relatively small to transfer Now let's talk about Everest It's a complete software stack for electric vehicle charger is runs on Linux it is a patchy 2.0 license and available on many different hardware platforms It includes a rich collection of modules and all the domains that you need for Charging it contains the charging logic and protocol implementations for the relevant protocols There's hardware drivers for things like charging hardware, but also power meters There's an energy management included authorization system and simulation facilities to actually test all of this It's built with a modular architecture with modules that communicate with each other over MQTT and There's even a graphical setup user interface that you can see here To configure the connections between these modules You can also use this configuration interface to set up the energy management as well and And now I would like to dive a little bit deeper into how the framework behind Everest works As I've already mentioned, it's a modular architecture You can kind of think of it like a microservices architecture where each module runs in a separate Linux process And these modules can expose interfaces on this MQTT bus and other modules can then require these interfaces and call Functions on the other module or receive data that they are subscribed to Let's visualize that very quickly That's a super we have two modules module a and module b and Module a provides an interface that I would call charger this interface Defines a command the set max current and the variable the intercharged Module b can then require this interface and if you then connect these modules in a config file together module b can call the commands of module a and Get if it subscribes to the energy charged variable it will get that The value of that Yeah variable over MQTT This all happens Completely transparent to the module the module doesn't even know that MQTT is involved Yeah, and this is kind of how it looks like in the Yeah configuration files. We have the charger yaml on the left side. This is the interface that Describes this command and the variable then we have the manifest file of module a where we say that it provides this discharge interface Then the manifest of module B Says that it requires the interface and it requires exactly one kind of module that provides this interface And then on the right we have a configuration file that sets up the connection between these modules and That's not where it stops. We have other features things like software and hardware in the loop simulation and we implement lots of Relevant protocols things like OCP P 1.6 is very much completely implemented and working hard with On the implementation of 2.0.1 and also on the draft of the 2.1. That's just been like released a few days ago Then we have ISO 15.118 with AC and DC support the inspect support for the PWM charging obviously yeah, we have Support for mod bus based power meter the Sunspec devices and other things that can talk MQ2T And if you want to write your own modules, we have multiple language bindings for C++ for for Python and for JavaScript One of the goals behind Everest was always that it's easily portable to new hardware Which means that the interfaces are you know relatively small I would say that you have to implement and Porting to a new hardware usually means that you need Some form of device driver that can get the control pilot signal events and generate the PWM signal and as a minimum drive the relays that Yeah make Actually electricity flow to the car Everything else is More or less optional you you don't need a power meter if you don't need it if you don't care about You know what your RCD reports? I mean you need it electrically But you don't need to write a driver for it if you don't if you're not interested in the leakage currents And if you don't want to do any authentication, you don't need AFLE readers or any form of human interface device there's also a few deeply integrated hardware reference designs already available the Pionics the AT in the open hardware is based around the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute module. There's also hardware from Texas Instruments and Phytec based on the AM6 to X and Charge by it has a controller. I think it's called the Terragon controller That's I think based on an MX-NXP controller it's Mostly like the OS support is also quite good. I mean we have layers that work with at least Dunfell and Kirkstone Might have also gotten it to work already on on FUD which is ancient by now I think so let's talk about the open hardware First of all the most important thing you can find the designs here on Github It's released under the CERN open hardware license version 2 and the idea behind these designs was always to be Yeah, as developer friendly as possible So the designs are obviously not optimized for cost but for features So you can play around do a lot of interesting things with it It's been designed in Keycard 6 and there's also some case design files available Now if you want to build some form of an AC charger You're quite lucky that it's quite easy because you don't need to Build a battery charger where you can actually have to talk to the battery and Set correct voltage and things like that You pretty much just have to build a smart relay Yeah optionally No, not not optionally, but new optionally you can add a power meter and you need to add an RCD for safety and a microcontroller to create the PWM states and and read them back and If you want to do some more advanced things You can add a Linux board on top. You can see this Yeti 22 kilowatt AC free-phase power board that we've designed it comes with Comes with a lot of features like I already mentioned it does control pilot signal generation It can do the sync signal sampling back In sync with this PWM Has an onboard relay for free-phase power switching We have also free-phase power metering up to eight kilohertz so you can measure voltages currents power frequency of all the phases plus the neutral There's an RCD module that gives you the measured leakage current back for telemetry which can be quite interesting because some cars Actually produce a considerable amount of leakage Then we added a 10 pin connector with a UART That does the connection to the Yuck high-level control board There's connections to an SPI LCD If you just want to run the Yeti board, it's also possible and external GPIOs and Obviously, it has a onboard power supply. We can run it from 110 volts to 230 volts the microcontroller on board is an STM32 and The firmware for that is also publicly available under the FHG 2.0 license It obviously controls all the devices on this Yeti board and has electrical safety relevant code encapsulated and Does all the communication with Everest over a protocol using protobuf over the UART Here's how you can use this Yeti board And you can either use it as a standalone charger or as the power path for a smart charger And you can implement some form of automatic switching if you detect that your high-level Linux board fails You can still go back to the standalone charger mode if you want to provide free charging for example, if You want to use it as a standalone charger. It's quite easy. You just plug it in and it works and it can then use the UART to observe the charging session you see the events that are called and You have some limited control over the session. You can pause it. You can resume it But you can also put the firmware in the low-level control mode with a simple UART command and here You then have to provide all the charging logic externally only the basic state machine remains in the microcontroller and You can set the PWM signal then from an external board and read back these events and this is the mode we use in Everest to enable things like high-level charging using the ISO and the Dinspec and To make this work. We've designed this high-level control board that yeah runs on the notes it has a Like I already mentioned the Raspberry Pi computer module 4 on board this 10-pin connector for connection of the Yeti There's a real-time clock with a backup battery included power line communication modem for high-level communication with the car For convenience we added a connector for popular RFID modules. We have You know canvas, ethernet, USB ports, external GPUs, yeah lots of things And here's pretty much how you would put it together You put a type 2 connector on the left side plug it into the Yeti board stack the Yakon board and Just wire it up with a mains free-phase power and you're pretty much Good to go And if you want to do something a little bit more interesting if you Paid attention the last couple of minutes. You probably noticed that the Yak comes Already prepared with everything that you need for for DC communication because the DC communication just uses the power line communication, so we kind of repurpose these both boards to build our own DIY DC charger you can see diagram here where we use the Yak connected via a can to a power supply and My mod was to an isolation monitor and use the Yeti's relays to switch some DC contactors and This is how it looks like in reality like on the left side You see an image where on the top you have basically the AC input side and the DC contactors With the Yeti and the Yak board and on the bottom you have a like 19 inch 30 kilowatt DC power supply that we've gotten for cheap off the internet and Yeah on the right you can see the the Yeti board being used to switch the DC contactors Obviously, you don't need to use a Yeti board, but I mean you just have a few of them lying around and I mean this is probably the least exciting photo in this whole presentation because successful charging isn't really that easily photographed But you just have to trust me that we've already gotten it to work with with a scooter and Yak and Yeah, it works already quite well and we've been we're gonna be working on that a little bit more over the coming Weeks and months and give an update on that as well So now if you want to build your own board support package for an Everest power charger I give you a quick example Using the the Yeti driver as as the base you can see the whole I think manifest of the Yeti driver and Don't really have to pay too much attention to the top part of the config But only what it provides in the bottom it provides power meter because it's already on board But it also provides this board support AC interface and this is literally the only thing that you need to implement to get a To get a AC charger working with Everest You know short overview the condensed version of the interface you literally just have to implement a Very small set of commands You have to you know return the hardware capabilities with a minimum maximum current that you support and the number of phases You have to be able to enable and disable the charger We need obviously need PWM control. So we need to set the duty cycle and turn it off and on again We need some form of signal to signal to the charger that it is now allowed to switch the relays on and If you have a detachable cable on your charging Station you also have to return the current carrying capacity of the cable and And then there's only a few variables the most important of these is the events variable Well, you just have to report back the control pilot events things like that the car has plugged in that the car has requested power That the car has requested to stop power and the car has unplugged which you can directly infer from the voltages that you read on the control pilot and if you have now implemented your board support package driver and You can then hook it up with our You know web-based tool to Yeah, pretty much connected to everything else we now start with the the Yeti driver here on on the bottom and We add what we call the EVSE manager to it. This is a very central module in in Everest that represents a Charging connector and has all the charging logic and session management included in it and a few other things and this module is what we use to orchestrate the access to this one connector, so It's more or less like owned by the EVSE manager Then that you can actually have some energy flowing through the system. We need to add an energy manager which Is responsible for the distribution of the available power With one driver and one connector. This is not particularly exciting, but if you have multiple of them connected and You can't use all of them at You know full capacity or you would blow your fuse to To the grid then you can use this energy management system to set certain hardware limitations But you can also use it to get up to OCPP for example and use OCPP's smart charging features to set certain profiles that either Yeah, are for the whole station or Just for this one charging charging session Optionally, you can add an IC5118 Protocol stack and the stack module. Here you obviously need a driver for your power line communication Modem, but since there's not too many companies around that make these I Think the linux driver support is already quite decent here And they just expose an ethernet device that you can just use with these stacks and They do all the work here then and If you then want to do it as a public charging station You add some authorization on top of it in form of an RFID reader It just read your RFID card and this authorization module Is then connected to the EVC manager and validates if the card was valid It can also connect to things like OCPP To do authentication there and and it you know validates all the requests and reports back to the EVC manager All right, if that was you know interesting for you Here's how you can get involved you can check out the code on on github You can also look at the hardware designs and microcontroller firmware that you can also find on github We have a mailing list where we try to be relatively Responsive and you can ask all sorts of questions related to ever is there We have a quick start guide and some tutorials on how you can set up Simulation how you can add OCPP to ever is if you want to develop new modules and more We then also have a Technical steering committee meeting Once a month every fourth Thursday of the month where we talk about yeah, what what we did in the last month and you know Talk about what went into our new monthly releases We try to adhere to a roughly monthly release schedule right now and you can't make it to that To that meeting the recordings are available on YouTube relatively shortly afterwards and If you want to get really involved you can join our developer meetings That happened every Tuesday between 3 and 4 p.m. Central European summertime and the meeting for that you can also find on our mailing list Thank you very much. All right. We thank you guy. We've got time for questions. So if you have any questions feel free. Yeah Hey, thanks for the talk. It's a really cool project I want to ask like there's a lot of certifications involved in building it hard to have each other Is there any products that have went through certification that are using the open source hardware? We have one product right now that It's more like a business to business product like a test equipment that you can use to Validate ISO 15118 with that went through CE certification at least and Yeah, we're working. I'm not sure about the hardware designs pretty sure the the chargepad controller This is widely deployed not not with ever is widely deployed, but it is available with ever is from chargepad And this is obviously certified because it's running in commercial installations already Not sure about the TI fighter card wear, but Probably Certifiable as well Thank you Yeah, thanks from from my side as well There are at least two other open source hardware projects focusing on EV charges. There's one called open EV SE and I've seen one on the beagle board booth together with seed studio. Can you state how the differences between these projects are and if you Collaborate somehow or use similar components? I'm not completely familiar with with their hardware designs So I can't say too much about them but what differentiates us I'd say is that we you know focus on Not making a small like microcontroller based easy AC charger, but We've already built this with like DC charging and more complex things in mind Where you just need a little bit more compute power pretty sure you can do all of this in a microcontroller as well But for some applications, it's it's much easier to to use a Linux based board And I think most of the other open hardware designs I've seen focused on a microcontroller based approach and this is in my opinion a bit more more extendable But yeah, there should definitely be a little bit more collaboration. Maybe I'll drop by later and say hello and ask it Okay, thanks Hi, and thank you about the ISO 15118 Implementation is still based on Java rise V2G or you made some we actually have three stacks Available right now. One of the options is the rise V2G with Java Then we have the the Joseph community edition as a back end available, but we also have a module that has been donated to us by charge by it which is written in C++ and C and uses Open V2G as its back end But as a fourth option, we are also working on a complete own implementation of the ISO 15118 especially the dash 2 but then also the dash 20 Just to have it in a more Compatible license because the the open V2G is LGPL3, which is problematic for some vendors that want to do Want to work with it some of them, you know, they read GPL and they run away sometimes So we want to write an implementation of our own or actually are working on implementation on our own That will be a patchy 2.0 license But yeah, these are the three stacks available right now and they've had they've been quite well tested already on Different testing events and work relatively well, I'd say Okay, thank you Hi, thanks for the presentation. I get a question in regards to the control pilot It's embedded in some of the module that you presented on the presentation Yeah, what we actually do is we do the whole control pilot Reading and generation we do this in the microcontroller firmware like we read out the Yeah, we read out the positive part drop voltage drop of the of the car So we we read out that the car is connected and it wants to request power But we also generate the PWM signal in the microcontroller But there's not at least one board that we're running on That does all of that pretty much in in Linux and that also works relatively well, I'd say So I hope that Was your question No, actually I was asking about the modules that you presented and on the on the everest project whether Who's actually responsible for the which of the module is responsible for generating and signaling the PWM to the car Well, it's it's the the Yeti driver Which is responsible for doing like the high-level signaling to the car But the microcontroller code in the microcontroller on the Yeti board is then Responsible to actually set the PWM to its correct duty cycle and to read back the events there Okay, and yet another question about the Actually referring to the to the ISO 15118 What's the rationale about? Having multiple options for the ISO 15118 as a module. It's mostly Getting results quickly as we we started this project like two and a half Years ago and like then we we personally didn't have anything so we tried to find other Implementations out there so we started with the rice V2g worked a little bit with that saw, you know It's drawbacks things like Java and things like that Then last year the Joseph communication was Released, but then we were already working on our own solution But we are also interested to see how that works and it's not that he's not that hard to Integrate it within every especially since we have like Python module support. It's not that hard and That the third stack that was actually donated to the project from Charge by it as a contributor So they had that stack. It was battle tested over the last couple of years supports the Dean's break as well and so integrated it and Are quite happy with it right now But we're still working on our own solution because we think we can do it maybe a little bit More integrated I think we have time for our last question Okay. Thank you guys. So it's now we're gonna have a short break until 11 a.m. So it's time for coffee. Thanks. Thanks again


Today, I'm going to show you how to take a printer that's printing like this, and make it print like this. My name's Jim, and this is the Edge of Tech. There are many things that you're probably going to end up tuning when you buy a 3D printer. But one of the most common things to tune are the E-steps. But what are E-steps, and why the heck would you want to tune them? So E-steps, also known as extruder steps, are the number of steps the extruder motor needs to take to extrude one millimeter of filament. A few reasons you may want to calibrate your E-steps is that you change anything at all on the extruder. You put a brand new one on, a new spring, an all-metal extruder, anything at all that changes on the extruder, you want to calibrate your E-steps. Another reason is that your parts are coming out very under extruded. That will lead to bad prints and inconsistencies across all of your parts. Many times, calibrating E-steps is a very easy update. So today, I'm going to show you how to do that quick, let's do it. First turn your printer on, go to temperature, and make sure your nozzle is set to 200 degrees Celsius. While we're waiting for the printer to heat up, we're going to jump on over to the computer and go to TH3DStudio.com forward slash E-step dash calculator. There will be a link in the description below, but this site really makes doing your E-steps super easy. It even gives you instructions if you want to do it from another method. But we're going to use this site, it makes it really easy to do. For the next step, you're going to need a millimeter ruler or a caliper, I like these a lot, and a side cutter. Now what you want to do is pull the clip, if you have one, disconnect the boden tube from the extruder, just like that. So now we're disconnected. Then push some filament through the extruder just so it comes out of the coupler like that. Take your snips and cut it off as flat as you can against there, like that. Now we need to get the current E-steps of the machine. In this video I'm going to show you how to do that on the control panel by going to info, configuration, advanced settings, steps, and right down here you'll see E-steps is 92.6. You want to write that down right now. There is another video I'll link it above that you can do this plugging into the printer to a computer. But for now we're going to do it off the control panel. Now that we have our current E-steps, we want to put it in number one. So we have 92.6 is what the current E-steps on the screen were. The next thing we need to do is tell the printer to extrude 100 millimeters. You can do that by going to motion, move access, extruder, go to 10 millimeters and move this up to 100 just like that. Once you do that the filament should be coming out of the extruder just like this. Once the filament is done extruding out of the Bowdoin coupler, take your flush cuts and cut it flush as you can just like we did before. So the next thing you want to do is flatten your filament as much as you possibly can to make sure it's straight. Then you can grab your millimeter ruler and put it up against there and see what you got like that. And you can push it up against the straight edge that helps a lot. So you can actually see what we got there. Or if you have a caliper you can put the caliper open to 100 millimeters and then you want to measure it between the two larger pieces here like that. So if I was doing this it's kind of hard to do on a film but I would do this and then I would squeeze it in to see what I actually got. And it looks like this is actually short right from the factory. So it's kind of hard to see there but it looks like I have about 95.9. I'm going to call that 96 millimeters instead of 100. So we definitely need to get that fixed. If the measured E-steps are any different than 100 millimeters we need to enter that in number three. In our case I measured a couple times and I ran a couple different lengths of filament and mine actually came out to 95.8. I was going to round it up to 96 but I think I'm going to leave it 95.8. So once you have that number in here 95.8 go ahead and hit enter and scroll down a little bit and this will actually tell you what your new E-step value needs to be. In our case it needs to be 96.66. You can take this put it into the... Now we're going to take this over to the control panel on the printer enter in 96.66 and save that. If you're getting value out of today's video please smash that like button. It really helps get the video pushed out more into the community and hopefully we can help them too. Now back to it. Just a quick note it's always good to document your brand new E-steps somewhere just in case the printer doesn't save it and you don't remember what that number is. And then if you want to test it all you have to do is turn the printer off let it sit for maybe 5-10 seconds turn the printer back on and check your E-steps to make sure it's saved. So we powered the printer off for about 5 or 10 seconds we turned it back on now I'm going to go down and just go to configuration advanced settings E-steps and make sure that it says 96.66. Now that we've updated the E-steps you can pull your filament back out of the printer and reconnect your boat and coupler and put your C-clip in make sure everything's tight and that's it. Now you're on the road to great prints and you've officially calibrated your E-steps. All said and done this shouldn't take you very long once you get the hotend heated up and yes you do have to heat up the hotend otherwise the extruder won't turn and push out that filament so don't forget that part. Let me know in the comments below if you plan to upgrade your E-steps or if you've done this before. Also let me know what you think of that TH3D E-steps calculator I think it makes it super easy to do. It's always great working on getting your printer dialed in but you want to check out this video right here if you want to go even further and get some amazing prints.
