Hey traders, this is T Bradley 90 from the My Investing Club chat as a special gift to every viewer on YouTube There is a link in the description to apply for a free breakthrough trading strategy session with myself What does that mean? Alex created a free trading course for beginners and at the end of it We will be selecting a few non-members to get on the phone with myself Tosh T Bradley 90 to help with your trading click the link in the bio watch the video and apply today now While today is just a preview of the full-length video if you want to watch the full-length or any of our exclusive content then become a member of MIC So the first thing that kind of veteran traders will know is that nothing is 100% meaning nothing works 100% of the time but Not only is not every idea 100% not every trade is going to be 100% on the timing aspect That's why I put it twice and so traders deal in terms of probabilities, right? So a trader will never say something like I'm going to short the death line Because stocks always tank after the death line if that's if that's your mentality. I Think there's a little something wrong there Because what you're thinking about is what's going to happen after my entry, right? But you're not thinking about what you have to risk to get there, right? A real a true veteran trader will say something like I'm shorting the death line because I know thanks I'm shorting the death line because I know the probability of the stock Reclaiming the death line is very low right see how the mentality is a little bit different One is thinking about risk and one is thinking about the game right up so Trading is putting your bets with the probabilities while taking risk-rewarded to account and accepting that losses are a part of every strategy And I'm going to emphasize that last line, right? Losses are a part of every single strategy death lines are not 100% there are losses attributed to the death line set Low-hanging fruits have you know a loss incorporated into you know when low-hanging fruits lose Where do you want to be losing right your your exit strategies your stock strategies force for your? your setups need to be taken into account when you're when you're adding up the vast Number of trades you take right because this Joe kind of hits it on it's not one trade That's going to make your trading career It's going to be a thousand trades right a thousand trade a thousand trades It's what's going to determine the setup not one trade right and you can't go changing your one trade Because then you'll never know what you know if it's a good trade or not So knowing that nothing is 100% is something that like of that You know someone who can sustain the market for a few years will know Putting risk first and this kind of goes into what I was just talking about Wearing the risk management hat right versus the gain-seeking hat is Is the way a successful trader who's going to survive? Which you know the training world the stock market 20 years has to be you know if you're always looking for the game And I have I've seen traders blow up on Twitter You know that I've seen Twitter Twitter traders come and go and you just you just kind of be like Oh, whatever happened to that person like they're gone And you know almost you can pretty much assume that they blew up because you know they posted flashy gains And that's also another indicator right if you see someone on Twitter and they're always posting games, right? That means they're very game-happy, which means yeah, you know, you know what's coming next so Recognizing the symptoms of the risk management hat versus the gain-seeking hat some things that you'll notice when you're Focusing on risk management is that you'll always determine the dollar amount of risk you want to lose before you enter the trade as opposed to You know getting in and then thinking about where where am I going to profit right when you get in this is a good This is a good question to ask yourself when you get into the trade. What are you thinking about for what's the first thing you think of? What's the first thing that you think of where can it go or where's my stop the first thing that that should come in mind is The stop at the stop right because that's how that's how much you're going to know is the risk And that's even going to know if you should even take the trade But no one wants to short a stock of five dollars if the risk has to be seven so Planning your entries exits and ads I think are the most important part of Recognizing if whether you're entering into a trade where you're managing your risk or whether you're looking for a game Right is where how you add right because a lot of people a lot of us will start into a stock short as it's going parabolic and We you know you'll see the first red candle of the parabolic movie at top That's it. You are look you right now are looking for the game you're looking to get all your size at the top and most of the time it's not going to end well because You're just you're just looking for that ad right as it like that's that's what I call a candle base entry And you know I put candle base entry like I can also put level two base entry This is when you see something when you see the level to flash really fast and you get that immediate FOMO FOMO is it? FOMO is literally a derivative of greed right you need all of your entries exits and ads to be planned when you're when you're The difference is when you're watching a stock of parabolic and you're scaling in you should already have maybe even said out loud And I do this Say out loud prior before the trade if this thing rejects off eight hard I'm going to add into that candle whereas instead of just seeing it rich hard reject off a and be like only that's it Right, there's one the big difference there. It could be the same entry, but one is planned and one is candle base level two base FOMO base, right? Great in your setups if you have a piece of paper written down and all of your setups have a different risk attached to them Like I've shown in my webinars that that right there shows that when you enter the when you're approaching the trading day You have an idea of I only want to lose X, right? I know I want to make X. I want to lose X It's all about your priorities, right stop adjustments and this could be trailing stop adjustments This could be Seeing you know having an original stop idea and then watching the stocks range did you know? Dramatically increase like past your expectations. You might want to then say I need to adjust my risk, right? This is a symptom of wearing the risk management have as opposed to you know when a stop for an ad is in perspective meaning let's say you decide to add to a stock that just Put in a death candle, right? And you think it's good that that ad right there Is normally going to have an a risk based off of the top of the death panel, right? This is something that toss free just right and if you add that's I think that's totally valid You're trying to get a full-sized set up on a trade if you don't you know Have that ad have us have a risk if you don't have a stop attached to that ad that respects the risk You're not looking to manage risk, right? You're looking to make a gain and traders are innately risk managers not gain seekers Right and one bad side about risk management is sometimes you end up being partial sized for winners, right? Like you notice about today on his first bounce He didn't go all in one shot at that opening first bounce because how how how you know in the weeds Would he be would he have been at 670, right? And so he was in 200 shares. It's a symptom It's gonna happen, but because he had risk in mind that you know that was That allowed him to make a win on that trade with a decent risk and The number one symptom is always going to be being oversized on your losers That's just what's gonna happen every single time if you put game first instead of risk first So that'll also touch on this it's being started with your process, right? deviating from your process is a very very very very slippery slope because What you're doing when you're trying to deviate from your process is you're trying to cheat your system, right? And as I just said every set up every strategy has a loss attached to it Now if you try to cheat your system, right? There are times where you can probably deviate from your system and make money But what you're doing it now you've entered the gambling game, right? Because if like you can maybe like Add one last ad outside of your plan risk and it might work, right?   So you're always gonna have the question sorry You're always gonna have the question can you get away with this deviation? And you know I would say a lot of the times the answer is going to be yes You can't but how do you know it's not gonna be the one time that? Erases all the other wins from deviation right and even the wins that did not come from deviation, right? Can I do it just as once can I trade MTC or PSTV? You know I don't normally short these stocks is 50% institutional ownership and it's it's a you know It's a under one million share flow of stock, but it looks really parabolic right here. I think I can get the top I think this is it and you might win, but like You know what's gonna happen when it's an LFI end or a PPTH, right? MTC is an example of one of those right this if you did break your rules. I mean it's gone right MTC or PSPV those ones are the ones that are gonna wipe you out So like you know if you're if the question is ever just this once the answer is no right like so don't So always be aware that you're gonna have a process and you're gonna be seductive into breaking it because you think you can get Away with it and I'm still it's not worth it, right? This is not the mindset of someone who speaks to their process, right? This is why about a super anal about his his process because he knows he knows the one time It only takes one time So why would you ever take a trade that only takes one time, right? Why would you ever break a process when it only takes one time to break the process to blow up, right? It's like it's like something I relate this analogy when I wash my knives the wrong way I'm like, I never cut myself. Well, why would I ever do that, right? Why would I ever wash my knife the wrong way? I could get away with it I could probably get away with it a lot of times But why would I ever do that like it because it only takes once to cut myself and then the second I cut myself It's like all the other times washing the knife the wrong way It was kind of pointless because I cut myself eventually so The risk to reward of keeping your mental capital intact is the biggest That is the biggest benefit of being stern with your process, right? Because the risk of what happens when you break the MTC rule, right? Or the PSTV rule or the PBTH rule the risk of that your mental capital is gone You're just going to be kicking yourself in the dump and how do you expect to trade tomorrow when you're kicking yourself so hard today, right?  So you everyone always thinks that you have to make your money back on the same stock if you lose Everyone always thinks that you have to do the logic, right? Everyone always, you know has this fear and this this fear of missing it, right? Coming into the day fresh is going to make thousands more dollars in the long run. It's just You don't have to do it, right? You're keeping your mental capital intact is going to always keep you fresh And so basically this is what I'm talking about is opportunity costs, you know Like the opportunity cost you're going to miss tomorrow because you messed up MTC today It's going to be more than you would have made on MTC today because you know if you did decide to break your process on MTC Or PSTV, you're not doing it with like a five thousand share order You're just trying to be cool. You're trying to be quick You're trying to short trying to get that super top, right? And like you know like you know that you're going to go smaller in it But like it's so easy to get trapped the the risk of that happening and just you know feeling lousy about it the next day You know when you could make more the next day on one of your A plus stocks all right, so the topics today are going to be stop-loss types and mental versus hard stops and another one a daily profit stop and Then we're going to do some basic chart analysis here If you don't know who I am I'm Joe Kelly three and a half years trading Momentum small caps and OTCs and I do a lot of data analysis and risk management that is like my strong points, so This is a quote that I heard a long time ago And it holds very very true To trading as well and this was actually this quote was was I heard when I raced motocross and But opportunities and it relates to the market to opportunities in the market or like a bus Every bus keeps coming along right there's always another bus right around the corner, but if you don't manage your risk properly You're gonna be stuck under the last bus and you're gonna give a rant over and you're not gonna be able to trade the next opportunity So that's why it's always important to survive and be able to trade the next day So we're going to go quickly through types of soft losses just so we don't get too In depth with it Maybe so the first one is going to be like a is going to be a price-based stop So it's very simple high day low a day Higher high and lower low you're basically just analyzing a chart looking at price levels Deciding where the best stop loss is If you always find yourself stopping out when you place a stop loss guess what you're part of the herd That's why you keep getting stopped out is because you pick the most obvious place That is a stop loss on BLIN on Thursday, and I think I told the story like four times I saw a member post that he just stopped out at like the 260 level after it like I went all the way to Korea and then and then here's three or 260 like stopped out. I Took a screenshot of it. I was like top indicator Because it just stopped out of resistance, right? It just stopped out at the most obvious level Or somebody would want to put a stop loss. So When you're placing a stop you have to ask yourself two questions is the risk-managed It isn't an obvious stop loss if it's a short buy a straight and you're placing an obvious stop Sometimes you don't have an option like your only option is it's high day, right? Somebody will use pre-market high somebody use high day. Whatever it is It's an obvious level But when it breaks you have to watch and make sure that it doesn't just go And then crash again because like Yuma today Yuma had a high day at 390 breaks the high day goes to 395, and then you're right back under nobody trapped That trap longs more than anything Because it was barely a breakout Breaks fails and then it grinds and it tries to recover We had time-based stops So this is a different level of risk management to where you're giving your trade a certain amount of time to work Or a certain time of day That once this time of day happens this set of no longer is valid This usually doesn't happen after like first bounce for example if the first bounce doesn't happen within like the first 15 minutes Or 30 minutes of the trading day You're not going to go into the late day looking for a first bounce. That's going to be like the 40th bounce You don't go into 2 p.m. Looking for something to parabolic and pull back going to go again Know the optimal times of day to place a stop loss and to use a time stop now the second part to that These are some of those basic time frames would be 10 30 Which is the zombie time as everybody likes to either stop out if you're short But if you long by this you probably start to look to accumulate dips and look for a move higher 2 p.m. Or 3 30 p.m. Those are general fade times or reclaim of trends to move to higher highs the next part This is the number of bars for the amount of time that you're in the trades since you've got the entry So this would be what you call edge decay. So edge decay is You take a trade and In 30 minutes It still is not going your way, but it still has an issue stop, but it still has an issue target Is the trade still valid? Or does it caught in consolidation now? You you bought for a first bounce and it didn't immediately happen After five minutes, it's not a first bounce anymore. It's just consolidation So you have to know how long it usually takes in order for this trade to work So you don't get caught we were talking about buying higher lows So make a look at a chart and no god see making higher lows and then they buy it and then it just Kind of goes back And it does nothing, but they're like well my stop has never been hit so I say the trade But my target has been either so I just say the trade. Do you really need to stay in the trade or do you really need to just consider it? failed trade Take it off for breaking the baby lose two cents maybe lose five cents whatever it may be you stop out when the Chart tells you hey, no, it's really just kind of doing this. It's not working So now we're going to talk about order types to use for risk management. The first is just being a stop order That can either be a market Stop which is going to basically be If I short here by here it hits this level I market order out of the position Everybody goes. Oh my god. Don't use the market Use a soft limit one time and tell me if you don't want to stop market Because it's going to go hit and trigger your stop and then you can pull right past your limit. You're like Should use the market Trailing this one is actually really good to ride Trends for example, if you're a long-dice trader and you want to stay in a certain position Let's say like you went today If we used a 30 cent or a 50 cents trailer after we enter the position as It continues to bounce and ride up and ride up and ride up and ride up We only stop out if it drops from the highest price 50 cents or more. That's when we finally stop out in small caps using a trailing stop is really risky because of the volatility so I Never recommend anybody uses a trailing stop until Later in the day Don't use a trailer in the morning because you're just going to get whipsawed out of it and you're going to bottom ticket But later in the day once it joins trend That's when it becomes More smooth like after an hour of the day you pretty much just watch paint dry, right? That's just to stop this trending or channeling whatever it may be Trailing stop would work good in that period of time a range stop or a range order consists of two things a Stop loss and a profit target all in one now What I do with range orders is I don't bulk my entire range order into one so if I have 500 shares But I want to scale out of that position. I can use range orders to do that I'm just going to submit five range orders for a hundred chairs or two or two fifty or three or some strange number But I can scale out of that position as it goes along now one dangerous thing to pay attention to and always be aware of This is why you don't walk away if you have a range order in or stop loss for that matter If there's a partial fill on one side of the range order either your target or your stop It won't execute the rest of it. So you have a hundred shares. It fills sixty seven the rest stays Unless It goes in the direction against you fully, right? So the stop is at five. It goes to five You execute sixty seven shares and then it drops You still have 23 shares You don't have it didn't stop you all out or the worst part. It hits your target, right?  I'm sorry to stop out there No, you don't that order is cancel. It's virtually It's partially filled and not able to fill the rest of it It's a very dangerous part to that so OCO orders can actually help you get outside of the Limitations of a range order the big difference is One that trigger orders that are very similar to OCO orders. So trigger order means that one Order is live in the market It was short at five dollars that order once executed triggers another order. Okay, the other word was sitting and waiting It's not out in the market yet. It will be once five is executed OCO orders are two orders both live in the market at the same time Whatever one executes Cancels the other same risk is involved though if one partially fills The other order is canceled testing so What we're gonna do is we're gonna take a bunch of questions. Okay, we trade in the morning and work out in workout Doesn't matter what the result is You have your plan the best time to trade a certain thing. So I wanted to talk about certain setups So there's a high day right here you see this If it breaks out levels off the races and sure enough So there's two things two areas to look for V-wap reclaim. I think the V-wap was what dude? It was 380. I don't know 370. So we view up reclaiming high day, which is the fourth 70 great Okay, does that train make sense to you?  It's also has a big at the at the market Dilution going on and off ATM we call it and do it at TC never freakin made it man. That was Little bit off by not much man 10 cents or so 5 cents so That covers that so I wanted to take questions from whoever wants to take questions And then you guys can come up and then we can do a workshop on answering some of the questions So think it would be a question as well answered and then we can use this opportunity that to answer Don't be shy Anybody anyone's asked a question Or you look at the trainer do whatever you guys like this is all to you guys All right. Yeah, come up man Yeah, what's your question for us to see if it's wards coming up? All right, come up. I've any good question across.  This one not so much, but I'm gonna throw this order out because I could be a great opportunity The ones that you give a lot of attention to like today We gave a lot of tension a lot of screen time to a first bounce place On the second day plays if you know, you're not gonna give those a lot of screen time. Do you ever set? Racket orders so that it's a little bit more automated whenever the You're in that first bounce play you're in that day one that hot shake and you have your your low hangers a little bit More automated. Is that ever a situation for you? That is a great question.   Don't roll out An order could be an ocean already be even breaks the V-Blog we claim by With a 15 cent stop loss for example, right or it breaks high day 15 cent stop loss. So those are the OC orders exactly what you're doing. So So keep doing it man.  We're still talking about those are bad But I'm mitigated because I hammer it hard the first hour Then I walk away because I'm mostly a short-sighted trader and so he said us I This is a case where it worked. I waited two hours. We've worked with most of time It doesn't do this. This is what this happens all the time What you catch so that this who made money the key is the patience and the OC orders and eliminate having sit around keep waiting for all This so yes, your way of doing it is perfectly right. Well, thanks. Thanks, Oscar Well, I hear in the room. So anybody wants to ask a question. Anyway, do we have two microphones? So it works both of these are tied in. Oh So this is me staying there. So I wanted whoever I wanted to ask questions come up and I guess come on I'm gonna move my food over here. So When you're recording doesn't look all nasty In general, is there a certain price action that you see that you'll say I'm staying now away from this stock whether it's long or short Kind of scary See that you have to fear once again that for me I have no fear if it goes to my life these arcs lines as the setup.  What if that happens? But if you can mitigate the rest using the hard stops or knowing exactly we get in get out You so say just throw it out there. Just throw it out there. So I don't really care I call I call it like I remember I was talking about lines in line Right and anything in between the line to be as noise and so that to me is those are the untrainable areas But a good line is the VWOT reclaim high of day. That's another line, right? So those those are two lines and the rest if for me, it's not scary. It's more of I don't know what's going on I'm not going to trade things which I don't know what's going on. It's indeterminate. It's ambiguous It could go either up or down. I cannot tell There's certain lines that it gets breached or broken. It goes way up or way down. So That makes sense guys So now what's gonna happen is the next line is the high day which is What is this guy's this is Yeah, what's the high day on this 645 625 45 45 there we go And so now do you see this this could be the new support run the 550 That's all you do Again to the point where it's just so high guys where you have to How much more can you make on the beat right how much more the downside? So you get trade remember you can trade anything you want.  It's maybe one eighth Next one is half or how's your general strategy when you're looking at them in the morning? So again, don't tell me the shares because I don't mess with me, but it's just Something like that everybody skills different right and so I'm gonna tell you how I do it until Alex and then Awesome is it tell you how you do it right for for me what what I don't I don't I skill in terms of the lines I get myself to three max In terms of lines and then if I go three lines, I reduce my size So the rule of thumb is different for each stock if the lines are so close that I can know I'm okay to go three lines, but the next one is so far away. Hold on. I'm gonna stop with that big break, right? You don't think so it's not don't don't be so robotic to think every stop used to one eighth one fourth No, it's depends on the strength the time of day And what your objective is your objective is the scout 20 cents Or as a whole for the for the trend break or is all that but the key is for me Everyone has a different type of scaling my scaling is lying in line or every or like let's say I want the $3 I would do 297 and then 307 to average down three bucks and I for me personally I do use only 50% max He Alex has a 30% role in the front side. I do like 50% max on the front side So like for example, I could have gone 10,000 shares deep and they may have gotten me out of the position But I saw the $4,000 share and $4,000 shares got enough 50 cents. I'm scooping I lost two grand on it So all hands are what is right? So I'm nowhere near my max loss I'm nowhere near my max size for the day So it's kind of the feeling and to God, I didn't really want to take that trade I just did for education wise, but at the end of the day, you saw how I did when I when I started scaling in I started very small size and even that small size made me two thousand bucks Hey traders, this is Tosh I go by T Bradley 90 in the my investing club chat Just wanted to reach out and say if you have any questions about M.

All right. See you guys


So you should receive a form 1099R showing the total amount of your pensions and annuity payments before income tax or other deductions were withheld. These amounts should be shown in box 1, a form 1099R. Pension and annuity payments include distributions from 401K, 403B and government 457 plans. In other words, these are similar to the IRAs except that instead of us creating an IRA, we used our employers typically to invest under these retirement type plans, the typical forms being a 401K that would typically used for non-corporate entities, right? I mean non-government entities, normal businesses. The 403B possibly could be used for non-profits and government as well as the 557B. So the general idea of all of these is somewhat similar, the government trying to incentivize us to save for retirement by manipulating our behavior through the use of incentives on the tax code. Same concept as we saw with the IRA, the general concept being during working years, we put money into these plans and why do we do that? Because we get a tax benefit typically when we put the money into the plans. And then at retirement time, we take the money out of the plans. We're currently looking at income. That means we're taking the money out of the plan because that's usually when we might have a triggering type of event. But to understand the rationale, we have to understand us putting money into the plan and why it's resulting in a taxable event when we're taking the money out of the plan. When we put money into the plan, if we get a tax benefit, that's why we put the money in, meaning some of the income might not be subject to tax at the point in time that we put the money in, but rather is deferred and then will be taxed at the point in time that we take the money out, hopefully in a qualified distribution at the retirement age. Noting and remembering, these plans are not special types of investment tools. A 401k plan, for example, isn't some really special kind of vehicle you're used to invest. You're probably investing in mutual funds or ETFs that are under the umbrella of a 401k plan. What does the 401k plan do? In effect, it restricts you from taking your own money out of the plan or else you'll be hit with a penalty to take the money out unless you have a rationale for doing so. You wouldn't do that normally. You would just put money into stocks and bonds, not under the umbrella, unless you're incentivized to do so because you get a tax benefit. So that's the whole idea we get a tax benefit when we put the money in, when we take the money out, we have to pay the taxes. That's the general concept. Okay, so then we have rollovers and lump sum distributions are explained later. So note, if I take the money out before retirement, then I might be subject to not only taxes but a penalty, which could be hefty. Therefore, you want to not do that when you go from one job to another. You would like to rollover if you need to the 401k plan or 403B in such a way that it will not be shown as a distribution on the tax form, but rather as a rollover. Okay, so don't include the following payments on lines 5A and 5B instead report them on line 1H. So disability pensions received before you reach the minimum retirement age set by your employer, corrective distributions including any earnings of excess elective deferrals or other excess contributions to retirement plans. The plan must advise you of the year, years the distributions are includeable in income. All right, fully taxable pensions and annuities. Your payments are fully taxable. So meaning they're going to be included in income, increasing the taxable income subject to the tax. So A, you didn't contribute to the cost. C, cost later of your pension or annuity or B, you got your entire cost back tax free before 2023. But C, insurance premiums for retired public safety officers later, if your pension or annuity is fully taxable, enter the total pension or annuity payment payments from forms 1099R box 1 on line 5B. Don't make an entry on line 5A.


Hi everybody, Mayor Betsy here. It's great to see you for, for our 37th National Night Out. We have some special guests today and of course masks always get hung in your ear rings. I hope you're enjoying your neighborhood and that you can get engaged on a zoom call or however social distance you do it. But I'm going to jump right in. Today I've got Assistant Chief Charlie Ramirez with us from the Police Department. Charlie, welcome. Thank you Mayor. I appreciate the invite. It's great to have you with us. It's a strange way to be doing national night out. It really is. It really is because you and I are both people persons and we love being out there. Yes we do, but we'll make it work. Yes. But it's a big community building night for families, for neighborhoods to really get to know the police department. So tell us a little bit about what y'all are doing or how people can connect with their police department better. Well you know this is a great opportunity. National Night Out has always been that annual campaign that the police department can out there and really reach the neighbors and allow neighbors to communicate with neighbors on that night as well. But what we're doing a little bit differently I think because of COVID is we're asking the citizens of Fort Worth or anybody to join us on a virtual the National Night Out. I know it's a little bit strange but again we really wanted to let the residents know that we're here for them and even though we can't be with them in person we are here for their needs and you know as they we move through this all together. It's different but you know COVID has changed the way we do a lot of things and I really think that this is just another example of how neighbors are going to have to learn to get out and social distance from each other and do things and what about their NPO's? Are their NPO's still out doing their job? Of course you know they're they're still doing the the events they normally do but just for smaller so smaller crime watches smaller forms that they're trying to get and a lot of things virtually so we're really using technology to help us still communicate with our with our co-blue members and our neighbors. So yeah we continue to do the job but it has changed and we just have to adjust and I think you know once we get through it we'll be we'll be fine. Fortunately we'll have most of our kids back in school shortly. Oh yes. That'll free up but one of the beauties of of this COVID thing I've seen my NPO a lot more he's out driving around has a little more time it seems like and more neighbors are outside walking riding running riding their bikes running are you guys seeing some connection? Oh I agree I think even in my neighborhood we're walking more we're not being able to get to the gym like we used to so we're taking advantage of the great weather that we're having and communicating that way so yeah neighbors getting to know neighbors again people getting out of the house from behind that you know the doors and open them up so yeah we we are trying to take advantage of but again our neighbor police officers have always been in that community and they're always making sure they contact their the folks they know on their beat. And what are a couple things you can name that police departments have done in the last two three four years to really improve community connections? Well you know there's there's a lot of things but more importantly we've I think you know early on we've always been known for our community policing but some efforts we've really tried is training that we've included that our community to come in and experience we've actually invited them into our police academy classes as well to talk but more than anything being more transparent in what we do and using social media to really push anything that we have come coming through the calendar or invite people in and as we continue to do forums virtually as well so again just the constant communication the the thinking out of the box really when it comes to how we look at how we we maintain the trust or earn the trust of our community moving forward. And we have Code Blue and Citizens on Patrol and how do people volunteer for that if they want to and what do they do? Well that's you know it again we have it's a little bit different with COVID but we're we're still asking folks you know we're doing our Citizens Police Academy virtually so even though you can't come down to the academy experience a lot of things that you normally would we're still able to communicate that way. Code Blue is the same way we do have our citizens who are still willing to go out there in patrol they're staying in their cars and staying safe distance away and making sure they they you know adhere to the to the CDC and of course the governor's order when it comes to meetings and stuff so there's always opportunities to volunteer there's always opportunities to get involved in all that's listed on a website but a few again our police academy and for our youth we have our PAL program which we started back up we have the gyms open but at a limited capacity and PAL is. PAL Police Athletically and so we do the boxing and we do the football basketball and all those events for the kids and now you mentioned they were going back to school that's exactly what we're going to use it for again so there's still lots of ways to get involved we may be limiting on how many we can use this time but you know as soon as we can we're going to get back into it we have a police department that has done a beautiful job reaching out in the community and getting connected are we perfect no but none of us are perfect but we're making great strides in that direction and I'm pleased that under chief Krause and his executive team up which you remember you guys have done great leadership particularly trying to engage our neighborhoods so we have we have tried and we'll continue to do so and I know you know it it is tough um from the national sentiment around with law enforcement but I think you know our department is is different in a lot of ways because we've always done community policing community policing since I've been here and that's going on 30 years now so again any opportunity we can to develop those partnerships and and regain regain that trust and we listen to the community and their concerns and we've made major responses in this time's budget and in some of our repositioning on uh ccpd dollars to try to address some of that but this this is a community that supports our police department you feel that oh yes and we saw that when we did the ccpd uh renewal uh it was amazing that the community really overwhelmingly decided that you know the department and the city needed this to move forward because you know a safe city for everyone is is is really a key and it's it's just where we are right now yeah you guys are doing a great job thank you charlie well thank you for being with us you guys get to know your npo and all your officers that you see find out who they are tell them who you are and get engaged volunteer for code blue citizens on patrol or take your kids to the police athletic league and let them play basketball or box they might even let us do it right we will if you come down there thank you thank you you know covid has really changed the way we connect to our neighborhoods and what's going on and national night out usually we're out and about today i've got a friendly face with me for tonight still it's brandon been at our city code compliance director and city health official brandon i've had you on facebook live several times yep yep thank you for having me tonight also it's great to have you in this warrior it is 2020 is a strange year anyway so you know in fort worth we're so used to hugging and and and and having barbecue on national night out and and all the other fun things and we'll try to make it just as enjoyable virtually this year and your crews like me you're usually out at five or six different neighborhoods as many as you can make and be all over town yeah absolutely so it's it's strange to have it so tell us a little bit about during covid what y'all have done and what families can do for their family we talk about this a lot but i think a national night out is a great time for us to talk again about kids going back to school more sports gatherings more outdoor gatherings what really would you say they need to be doing you know i i am every day i get more and more impressed by the things that people do and particularly in neighborhoods and this is an awesome opportunity uh for people to reconnect in their neighborhoods i know when you're talking with the police chief you mentioned that a lot of your neighbors are out walking and and so are mine and there are neighbors that i've never had a conversation with and now i have a conversation with them all the time and and and and that is uh if there's a silver lining to all of this one of the best ones it'd be better for our health yeah but you know neighborhoods what we're seeing is uh uh them being creative uh not too long ago we had a neighborhood not too far from me where um all the neighbors sat out in their front lawns at these foldable card tables and they played bingo they had a speaker at the end of the street and so it kept the families together the units that live together it kept them separated from the other families but then also connected people in a fun way and and i think national night out from a a health perspective um there's a lot of things that people can do from uh scavenger hunts get in the car and drive around and have a contest to see who can see uh you know a number of things from from their car doing it safe uh and connect of course through zoom and and and some of the other uh connections uh but i can't say enough from a public health perspective about the wearing a mask no matter no matter what you're doing that that you know we haven't talked about this a whole lot but you know when you really think about um the messages that we got back in the day about don't drink and drive right because we knew that if you if you drank you could kill yourself or you could kill and you drove you could kill yourself kill somebody else we did the same thing with smoking we said stop smoking because you're going to kill yourself and quit smoking around people because you could kill them yeah and you know the wearing a mask is no different that you know uh our population's done a really good job of late of of really getting into uh compliance and now is not a time to to to give up on that we don't we don't give up on drinking and driving we don't give up on smoking and we don't give up on wearing seat belts we don't give up on the mask yeah just wear your mask i mean they're not they're not always comfortable but be reasonable about where you wear it i mean when you go out to eat you once you seat it you don't have to have it on but you should wear it in between and you should wear it when you go out in your neighborhood now if you're vigorously exercising do you expect people to wear their mask they're not going to be wearing a mask no it's almost impossible yeah yeah and it's you do the best that you can you know six feet of separation is good 12 feet is better right so when you exercise pick times when there's not as many people if you do it on the trail when they're not on the trail pick you know maybe run around your neighborhood instead of running around the track you know there's lots of things that people can do to be safe yeah people in my neighborhood have gotten pretty good at avoiding each other and still being far enough going to the other side of the street you know let their dogs they say hello and still keep themselves safe for that way and a lot of people just wear their mask pull down and put it up when they approach somebody yeah but we also have hand washing and social distancing and now we're into flu season that's right and you know early on we were really worried about a double whammy so again i want to compliment fort worth and its citizens because we have done a fabulous job of wearing masks and not only was that going to help us with covid it's also going to help us with the flu uh but the flu is inevitable it's going to happen and we're going to have an impact on our healthcare system uh that's going to be tremendous because we know that in the fall coronavirus will tend to spread more easily uh for a number of reasons one is people are indoors one is because of the cooler uh less humid temps and that's the same thing that happens with the flu during flu season so we we know that that's going to be an impact so if you're sick stay home yeah right you know don't don't go out about don't be around sick people right uh and if testing's available and it's available quickly for you to get quick results and you got to know what those results are to make decisions about whether you go to work or don't go to work um take advantage of the testing and we have good testing people can get tested and you don't have to have your nose swabbed you can now do a saliva test that's much easier absolutely we have the saliva test and then we're on the cusp you know of getting the quick 15 minute uh habit tests and you know there can be high demand for those uh but you know hopefully by the time we get into november and early december we'll have a sufficient number of those yeah i hope by the time we get to holidays where people really do want to gather that we'll have those quick tests or when people begin to return to their offices that their bosses their business can test them you know every week as they go in and i think that'll help us a lot absolutely and hopefully we're not too far away from the vaccine that's right so because it's national night out and people are not out but they will be out some remind them again what to do to protect themselves from west now yeah west now again there's a silver lining to all this people you know are not outdoors as much this year if they were we'd see a lot higher infection rate because we have a very probably the highest on wreck river had um viral transmission going on between birds and mosquitoes and once those mosquitoes got it and they they buy it a person they transfer the virus so people need to make sure that if they are out and about at any time not just national night out that that you wear deat or some other repellent skin so soft go to epa.gov and give you some really good recommendations that try to stay away from outdoors at dusk and dawn that's where mosquitoes are the most active and then drain source pools around the house don't let it you know have water in buckets and tires and and plant plants and things like that these are lazy mosquitoes they don't go real far so if you got a bunch of mosquitoes around your house they probably you know have have these source pools where you have the larvae that become mosquitoes you drain the water you'll have fewer mosquitoes they also maybe five houses each direction from where you live because they're lazy go talk to your neighbors about doing the same thing it's a good idea so because national night out is supposed to be about connecting cities and city services with neighborhoods and code is not out this year how can people connect with y'all if they need to have a code violation you know if they want to report a violation still the the best way to do it is the my uh fort worth app and it's available on google and apple at at the different stores you can go and you can use the online uh version to report but we think one of the most helpful tools we have there is is right off of the the city's webpage for the the code compliance department is there's actually a link where you can type your address you can either use the one address link or the code officer link you type your address in and it'll tell you who your code officer is and you know you're provided their cell number their email and you know even in this day of of covid we can have a connection to the citizens we serve uh in a very safe way because it's not a large gathering of people it's two responsible people um you can talk on the phone so we just really encourage people to do that and and i'll tell you again you know talk about national night out that there's a correlation overall uh between crime and crime and and the more you clean up a community the less crime you're going to have and i will tell you that we continue to see a record number of visits to our drop off stations so people are taking advantage of this time to clean up their properties and clean out the basements and the attics um and we're also seeing collection at the curb at a much higher rate so um that is correlated into less activity for the code officers because there's less mess uh that that gets reported to us that and that's awesome brandon thank you for being with me you guys code has everything and brandon has everything from public health which is west nile covid the hurricane that we had and then they have solid waste which is your garbage pickup recycles and bulky as well as signed violations oh yeah at that time of year thank you for what you do we appreciate it and national night out next year hopefully we'll be back in our neighborhoods where we belong visiting with people face to face absolutely thanks with me now is our fire chief jim davis chief mayor thanks for having me we're glad to have you national night out 2020 it's a little strange isn't it it is it's a little strange but we're all going to try to do this and get out and be a part of the community you were with us last year for national night out you know it's the 37th anniversary and footwork does a big national night out you take fire trucks and firefighters yes ma'am every community in fort worth is represented by the fire stations that serve that community they're engaging with the neighborhood associations as they move through the evening and we we try to engage them in what what we offer and what they need from us to make sure that we're reporting back to the city leadership and making sure that we're working cohesively to move our community forward and really people think about firefighters and fire department being largely keeping them safe and putting out fires you do so much more than that you go from medicine to drownproofing tell us a little bit about what all your firefighters are asked to do yeah mayor thanks for asking that because you know the the term the fort worth fire department you know it's a generation's old term and a lot of cases it's a misnomer you know a large percentage of what we do is is medical related and responding to the needs of the medical needs of our community with and in the support of medstar and making sure that we recognize from a public safety and public health standpoint of where we can bridge a gap that occurs in the community with everything from drowning prevention infant mortality in our community our folks are invited into homes upwards of 150 160 thousand times a year and when we're in there we we encourage folks to just be aware and be mindful and and help the neighborhoods make sure that their homes are safe that the smoke detectors are working that they have carbon monoxide detectors that if they find unsafe sleeping conditions for children that they help to to correct that through either education or from some type of referral to get a crib and those things we're not we're not in the discipline business we're not looking to do that we're just looking to make sure that you know we we like you pointed out we do so much more than fire and we're very proud of the work that they do our folks do to support this community you should be proud and i don't think anybody really realizes that when the firefighters are called if they're called on a medical say and they look around and see unsafe conditions they will help a family correct that yeah they do and we have a bunch of resources that are available to us in the event that folks are unable to afford those resources we work you know right now the the COVID-19 has put such a strain on everybody but the one benefit that the Fort Worth fire department has really been able to to see out of it is the relationships that have developed between the the county health department veneetan asian his team and the city and making sure that you know we're communicating we're making daily conversations about what each other need and how we can support each other and it's all in the best interest of trying to keep our community safe across Fort Worth because you've had a whole COVID team who volunteered to test people and to go into nursing homes where there was COVID yes ma'am one of the things earlier that you know in this whole COVID problem was recognizing that the need for accurate timely testing was available in the communities especially our most vulnerable communities and so working with public health we stepped into that gap and made sure that it was filled in a way that we could get folks tested get it turned around timely make sure that it was accurate and that we could you know work like i said before cohesively with other city agencies and county agencies to make sure that the public knew that you know the Fort Worth fire department when when we're needed we're problem solvers and and our folks like to problem solve and this was a problem it was a wicked problem to our community and and we're happy to be a part of the solution to it so unlike police where people have an npo who patrols their neighborhood we have a fire station somewhere in your neighborhood yes ma'am and can citizens go absolutely you know i've been here two years and one of the things that i've really encouraged our folks is to make sure that the public feels welcome in their facility public funds put these facilities up they put the firefighters in the community what i'm encouraging our folks to do is you know when the weather is appropriate doors are open we should invite the public to come and see the the resources that are available in their community they should ask questions about them and they should really feel free to have a honest conversation with the folks about what the needs of the community are and do so in such a way that they should expect that these uh officers and in firefighters get that information back to me so i can get it to folks like mr cook and yourself so the policy can and the future needs of the community are identified and um and decisions are made fire stations are really fun anyway i always took my kids i've taken my grandchildren i had a couple of different boy scout groups in a campfire group and the firefighters are always welcoming show the kids around the firehouse show them the truck talk to them about safety yeah and sometimes and it's just kind of a fun thing uh mayors i'll tell you sometimes that you know it's i'm not sure if it's the kids that have as much fun or the parents and the parents drag the kids there as it's their idea because mom and dad really want to see the fire trucks but we're happy to entertain folks that's that's what we do these this is their community this is their firehouse their tax dollars pay for this we want them engaged with us we want them knowing that we are an inviting presence for them in our in the community so out forward i thought the other day i've got a five-year-old and a three-year-old that i haven't taken yet it's a good excuse to go back and take away absolutely anything else you want people to know about engaging with you and your department and what you can do in neighborhoods no you know you mentioned the police earlier and we're so fortunate here we have a very good relationship between in public safety between police and fire and and the thing about it is what we need the public to do is is to realize that we're all in this together moving forward in the best interests of our community and we need the public to be mindful and when they see something they need to be comfortable with saying something they they need to make sure that they teach their kids that firehouses are safe places in the community that they know that they can go there and that the public has confidence that we will do right by them and their children when they when they seek help there be it air for a flat tire on a bike or if somebody in the community has um tried to harm them they need to know there can be safe there and haven't helped us you don't have it very often but it is a safe place for people to take babies it's a safe place and and about a year ago there was a just an amazing story that happened in north fort worth where that happened one morning you know we we have a policy for that we train our folks for that um and one morning these guys um were checking their trucks and and and it unfolded in front of them and i was amazingly impressed by the um the empathy and the compassion of our folks on the in the engine house but then how they continue to follow up with children services and and made sure that that everybody was taken care of and and there there was a complete wraparound approach to the health and the wellness of that child that day and while i'm really impressed by the way our folks responded to it i'm even more impressed that the mother um who did not feel that she was in a place um to adequately take care of that child was comfortable enough with a fort worth fire department that she went there and sought help and so from a community that was a win mayor that was a win that day and i'm very proud of that for our community speaks volumes about your firefighter sure does well it speaks to the community too it does speak to the community we've got a great community next year gee you and i'll be out we'll take a fire truck we'll go see some of these neighborhoods i'll take you anywhere you want to go mayor 2021 we're going to be out and about yes ma'am so thank you for coming on today i appreciate it all that you've got going on we really appreciate your time all right let's get out guys go out enjoy the rest of your national night out talk to your neighbors put your mask on and be safe thanks

when the narcissist finally loses control of you. If you've been with the narcissist for a long period of time, you should already know they're not going to react well when they feel like they can no longer control you. Their value is based on other people's views of them. They have very low self-esteem, so they need you to admire them. They need constant attention and validation. And if you don't willingly give it to them, they will manipulate you. They will intimidate you. They will make you feel guilty. They will do whatever it takes to get it. They are very envious. They are shame-based people who are doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame. But they will often engage in very shameful acts in an attempt to escape their feelings of shame. They will devalue you. They will discard you. They will punish you. Which will only push you away even more. It will only cause them to lose control of you. And when that happens, they may come back with a false epiphany. They may come back with a fake apology. But they're not really sorry for anything they've done. They don't care about the effects their actions have had on you. They just don't want to deal with the consequences of their actions. They don't want you to see them that way. So that's really what they're trying to change. They're trying to change your perspective of them, rather than them trying to change themselves in order to be better for you. They will always have some excuse for their behavior. They will always find a way to blame you for it. As though it was in response to something you said or did, they never take responsibility for their actions. Which is why they never change. They always go back to doing the same things again. Or they might find a different way of doing it.  They will deny it. They can't even admit their own faults and mistakes to themselves. So they're not going to admit it to you. They lie to themselves all the time. So how could they ever be honest with anyone?  They will shift the blame onto you.  They will act like something you said or did was wrong. To take the focus of their own toxic behaviors. And they can seem very skilled in the way that they do this. Because they've been doing this for a very long time. They've had a lot of practice to perfect their craft of manipulation. Which is how they may leave you doubting yourself. You may think that you've got it wrong. Especially if the narcissist has managed to start a smear campaign on you. Or they have managed to isolate you. Leave you without any sources of validation. When the narcissist loses control of you. They will always find a reason to be involved with your family and friends. They will always find a way to be enmeshed in your life. And they will turn your family and friends into the flying monkeys.  But once they've lost the ability to do that. Their only option is to use other people to get you. Because they have to punish you for everything you saw wrong with them. The narcissist feels entitled to do whatever they want with you. And they expect you to put out with it. They believe that you deserve to be mistreated. Which is why they will sometimes become violent or damage your property. Or they will spread rumors about you. Because they're trying to regain some sense of power and control over you. They're trying to punish you. They're trying to teach you a lesson. But if that doesn't work. They will try to create a trauma bond with you. They will try to make you dependent on them for something. Even while they are abusing you.  To prevent you from leaving. Because of children. Or because they don't have money or place to stay. They will do anything they can. To prevent you from being free from external influence and control. Thank you for watching.

Our lady was this everybody and welcome To show and tell it's me lady Ada We're here.  Is it true? Did you key? I am so much you got going on this week. All right So as per normal demo day, my thing is not working, but I'm happy to show what I have made Oh, what is it? This is an RP 2040. You probably can't see the little raspberry pi logo on it And I made it to be kind of like a Pico Exactly so it's Pico compatible It's a Pico that's Pico compatible And so the idea is that I would stack a Pico on it with these, you know, Arduino style through headers these long headers and then I attach my Do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do I attach my what is this the SWD port to the back like so And it's a debugger shoe. So the idea is I've got a little the little things printed on the side here That are the numbers for the And then the Pico boot is running on my RP 2040 on the bottom one and then so this just sits nicely in a breadboard and It ideally gives me step through debugging without having to do like the second breadboard with all the wires and whatnot I just thought it was a silly thing. I can make with the RP 2040 to show off And I learned a whole bunch of things about laying out the RP 2040 namely QFN's stink to solder by hand I was able to do it in the oven. That's like right here Yeah, all sorts of bridged connections came by with the hot air tried to refix it So I learned how to do QFN's which was fun every four millimeter to their task. Yeah, they're they're not easy That was that was fun reworking those got that to work so I could boot into it I also learned that if you're gonna be doing layout if you're gonna be doing your own RP 2040 board You probably want to stick with wind bond Q spy memory chips because I tried a non wind bond one and that straight didn't work It didn't execute execute in place. I think is the term. Yeah. Yeah, so and so I tried non wind bond So definitely order wind bond or you have to like write a custom Header file for your RP 2040 like recompile Everything if you're doing like Pico boot and then load that I that was like a future project Yeah, try the generic a three, but yeah, this is like the first thing Scott and I like when we're doing RP 24 We're like, oh, this is gonna be really confusing for people because it's where that you would Program a microcontroller and it doesn't start like no Here's a new thing that you have to deal with when you're doing development on top of everything else All right, quick question Sean.  There's fats. There's one goes on the bottom though. It goes on the bottom So we calling it. Is it a shoe shoe? I called it shoe shoe. Okay What if it went on top though? Well, if it was one on top of the Pico, do you have it? It's a raspberry beret, right? I like beret, right? I raise good that the the hats were just for the big pie though That's the other thing. I didn't want to Sorry, no naming starts. So this is a shoe not a boot. It's a shoe The reason I didn't call go with boot is because if you type in raspberry pie or raspberry like Pico boot That's a different thing on the internet Yeah slippers sandals. Yeah flip-flops that But that's good to hear we can refer to this chat as one of the first times folks were calling what the thing goes underneath right now It's a shoe. I'm calling the shoe. It's a shoe Eventually someone will ask me like why is it called this? It's like well, here's a URL Timecode a URL on Chantel. All right guys think I'll show The only other thing the reason it wasn't working is I'm running into USB issues So if anybody has any pointers, please let me know in the chat or if or if you want to go to the video It's Digi Keys YouTube channel where I have I talked about how I made it. It's a longer video I went to like all the design decisions and whatnot USB is just straight not working sometimes it works on a good day when it's not cloudy outside like it It enumerates on my computer and then today it's just like no device descriptor failed I'm like, well make sure nothing's connected to pin 15 That's used for USB Yeah, I don't think so. It's everything nothing should be connected except for like SWD and you are past Well, just check it and then make sure you don't have another be 2040 already plugged in because you can't have to plugged in at the same time and Then Which might not work and then I second check your crystal oscillators and your resistors or in line resistors should be Yeah, that sounds right. I'll have to like I can like probe them again and check them But like I got it to work a couple of times for the video and now it's just not working tonight I it's cloudy outside. So no, that's good. I'll go through that list and check them. So thank you All right. Good luck and thank you. I'm looking forward to when you work on the next shoe because then you could say Oh the next shoe just dropped Oh Hello, can you hear me? Yes So I don't do a lot of JavaScript in HTML, but Web Bluetooth now that I've got file transfer stuff checked in the circuit Python It's now a question of like what how do we actually get files over there? So I We know web Bluetooth is interesting just because Chrome has it and is everywhere In particular Chromebooks and Android as well has web Bluetooth support. I think so I've been playing around with web Bluetooth This is my proof-of-concept demo. So what I've got here is I've actually got Oh wrong camera. I'm using my cat cam I've got this clue here. It's running circuit Python Super late latest on the code. That's not even checked in but it's battery powered It's not even connected to USB But what on my test page here? I can say request Bluetooth device and it doesn't show anything So I'll hit cancel and I know you can't see that But then after that I can hit this connect to Bluetooth devices. So now it's connected It's discovered everything and if I hit this bond button what it does is it? It connects up to all the file transfer stuff and then it actually loads code.py so this is the code.py as Off of the device itself. I'm not sure why there's nulls here So I'm gonna have to figure that out. There are many nulls But what I could do is if I type like print It's starting to try to write the files back to the device I just haven't debugged it why it's not working yet. So this is cool I like you know, I know that if you can get the the workflow to be as smooth as USB It could be so fun to have a wireless Bluetooth Circuit Python or Wi-Fi device and you're like typing code to it and as you save the file it instantly Runs it. I mean like that is the that's what I love so much about circuit Python. It's so fast to develop Right. So what I have to do USB stuff like Sean is promise all is be cable. Okay. You don't need it Yep, exactly. Well, though the RP 2040 doesn't be Lee but the way that I have this working is that Every time you change the text it waits like half a second or 750 milliseconds just like circuit Python would and then Gathers all those changes and sends those off to the device. So it should feel relatively similar and Hopefully just as good Alright, only this missing is image magic. So I'm not gonna get that involved Well, I want to do the serial repel stuff too. So I'm gonna get some rippling Serialing stuff coming out as well. It's got you're doing a deep dive this week. Yes I'm taking days off next week. So I will be around on Friday.  Yeah, okay. Yeah, hopefully it'll be working If you want more Scott Friday deep dive. Yep 2 p.m. Pacific No friend. All right, don't pay drop what you get going on this week Hey, what's up folks? so this week we got inspired by the Fun little keycap here we thought it'd be a cool idea to see if we can make this into a keypad and just like instead of a single key So here it is. It's a it's not many keys, right? We have four keys, but we thought it'd be fun to make it into a kitty posh a and Lamar you said Yeah, you can build that under what condition if you get Liz to to do the party parrot So we set it up as kind of two things you can be USB keypad But I can also do MIDI and you can just really easily change it in the code So I thought it'd be fun to kind of do a little a little dancing parrot Yeah My hands are covering it, but you get the idea And it's running off of the the cutie pie which was right in the rp2040 And it uses just about all the pins because it's it's a spy connection So there's like eight wires for it, but it works really well for it. So if folks want to make a cute Maybe the cutest keypad. I might be a little biased on that It's all 3d printed we got snap fit parts That all spent snap fit together Type two of the characters so the party pack goes back and forth with that just just type on two of them So it goes back and forth I've learned a lot actually on the snap fit stuff So it'll probably do a little bit there on this one, but you can check out the learn guide It's up there boss lady approved. Okay Your speed up this week on Ask an engineer. Excellent pokeball. Yep. Nice nice dragons on your shirt. Thank you guys apparently they're from sleeping beauty If you're if you do if you have someone on staff who's a dragon extric which we do Jeff what you got going on? Oh, I love you guys. You're the greatest So I've been working for the last couple weeks on cameras It all started with the OV 7670 on the Grand Central But we've now brought it on to two other platforms. We can do the RP 2040. I Don't recommend assembling it like this, but you can if you need to and The newest addition is on the ESP 32 s2. This is actually live running a test pattern ESP 32 s2 including this board with a dev kit called kaluga Which we chose because it has the camera connector built right in And if you were watching closely, you would see that there were kind of two different styles of camera We originally supported the OB 7670 But we've added support for the OB 2640, which is just a little nicer a little newer More pixels so It's been fun adding support for these parallel capture peripherals and a little less fun Debugging the initialization code for these but it seems to be working pretty good We've got a guide on the learn system and as always we'd love to see what you do with When you hook up these cameras to circuit Python I'm also I like that you did a really good job Abstracting away the camera in it from the camera code because it means we can there's only new cameras coming out Right. A lot of code is like so hard-coded to like this. It has to run the h1 m 11 It's like this is now you can run, you know any any number There's new cameras and new ink displays coming out every day. I know So just yeah, so okay to support another camera There's all that you have to write is a circuit Python library You know in Python to do the I2C configuration and then the image capture part that does the low-level IO is the same On every camera we've done so far, which is to so there'll be a gotcha there But we'll handle that when you get to it. Okay, I'm excited We want to do more image stuff and AI stuff and I know this is like it's the one step on a huge mountain This is one step. It's one step But it's also in a sense one of the harder steps because it's so platform-dependent the rest of it's gonna be software So hopefully not as bad one of our long-term goals is to make the easiest and a low-cost Digital camera that you build yourself. So imagine that you build your own camera and it's circuit Python powered so that is on it's one of the goalposts for this and Deppler is our star kicker Well, Phil B also gets big credit for doing the initial 7670 code so that got me kick-started on this. Yeah On the shoulders of Giants giant dragons dragon dragons. Thanks so much Jeff. All right. You're welcome. Good night Thanks. Have a good weekend Brent. You just launched something. Yeah, so it's secretly around now We've been secretly working on but not really secretly We show videos. It's kind of not very secret. It's it's not very secret But it's kind of secret we've been working on a new service for a different ioco whipper snapper and now It's in beta, which is really exciting which means if you have one of these three boards or A metro esp 32 s2 that i'm going to work on support for tomorrow You can actually participate in the beta by DMing me on discord and you need an adafruit.io account So like what this is is it's a no-code interface for adafruit.io. So like the funhouse has a light sensor and I have it Plugged in over here And if I click light sensor and click treat component it immediately sends the value Every 30 seconds to adafruit.io Just really neat. That was it. That was done. That was it like the Component is dynamically configured. Oh turn it over so that the value goes to zero. Yeah Turn it over turn the board over. Oh, oh the board over. Okay, so in like 30 seconds six six seven two right now Okay, it's below the screen, right? Oh, I think I just I put my finger over it And I uh, I bridged something hold on All right, live demo. Oh, it's offline. That's kind of it's a good demo You want to know how it when it disconnects it goes offline? Yeah, so it goes offline and then it reconnects Yeah And it should send you value these are all things that we like worked on like what if you accidentally disconnect it? What if the you know sensor? All right now it's off Okay, so we have to wait 30 seconds for it to update right We should Okay, so you know it's four four. Yeah, so so yeah Yeah I've somehow made it brighter by flipping it over and also bridge the contact by accident Okay, so that's how fast it is that's Yeah, it's really quick to configure components And then when you disconnect and reconnect all the components reconfigure on your board as well So like the state that you're seeing on this website is the state of the board at any time All right, so how if people watch this and like that I want to get involved in this beta How can they ask politely to get included in the beta? So you had messaged me on discord on Brent. Are you and you would just say hey, I want to Not privately in the Adafruit IO channel Oh, right. Sorry in the help with Adafruit IO channel. Yes. That's right. Don't dm Brent I'm okay with it, but we could post in that channel as well and post the channel At me at Brent or you can post in the forums Yep, there's actually a whipper snapper sub forum on the Adafruit technical support forum And do you need to have an IO plus account or can use a free account? Nope, you can use a free account or an IO plus account There are some limitations at the free account because it's a slower data rate There are less components you can make But you can use either with Adafruit whipper snapper That sounds interesting. All right, so people should go to The Adafruit forums go to the whipper platform and post a message right now Again, you have to have an Adafruit account anyway, so you might as well make an Adafruit account Post there and then with your username and then if you're very polite Brent we'll invite you Only if you're polite Pretty please With sugar on top Okay, we'll have some videos. We'll have some more examples of this But we're you know kind of building this on the open We've been talking about this for a bit and this is our soft launch for some Folks that are in the community and more. Thanks so much Brent and uh, I'll report out to You said by the end of it by the end of june Yeah, yeah by the end of june and we're at the end of june Yeah, then june you got right on time in a few hours. You actually had a really good, um, you gauge the time well Which is actually quite impressive. You're like, well, I think we'll be able to launch beta at the end of june Yeah, I figured it's about that time and then We'll have some other announcements this summer. Okay. Good work. Thank you so much, Brent Yay Liz place out Well, Liz is a white square It's gonna be kind of a weird demo. Um, so I'm starting to work on a bluetooth, uh mouse that you control of gestures Um, so I'm using the feather sense Um, and I'm going to switch. This is just a blank powerpoint slide. Um with the mouse as a laser So this is using my laptop mouse. So I'm going to plug in the sense And now Making the laser go across the screen with the sense That's kind of fun Yeah, so I just got like a quick demo going this afternoon So like I need to fine-tune it and stuff and think about using the gyro to affect the speed Oh, how fast you're twisting it means it it can actually go a little farther. Yeah I don't know how you're showing Yeah, so just a Just starting with this, but it should be pretty how do you how do you click the mouse button? Um, so I don't have that yet. I'm just uh doing the The kind of moving around. Um, but I have um like some buttons and it's going to kind of be um, it's going to kind of uh be um a remote for um A raspberry pi I'm using to run like Netflix and stuff. So it'll um probably have some other uh controls as well Okay, how about for the mouse button when you put your finger over the light sensor? Oh, because that way you wouldn't even have to do why or any other hard work It'd be good for accessibility because then you wouldn't need anything you could just use it as is Yeah, that that's really cool. Yeah, I'll I will work on that check out the other there's a light sensor You know proximity sensor built in so you try that Okay, we'll do there might also be a button on the blue. I don't remember if there's an extra button. Um There'll be a user button. Yeah, there is there's the user switch. That's right. Okay, great. You could try that too Cool, we'll do wow amazing. All right That's everywhere. All right next up. Oh JP a wild JP has arrived Hey, what's going on? Is this working? Can you hear me? Yeah Hey, great. Okay. I had my computer restart right in the middle of waiting to get on so I'm glad it's all working again That was a quick uh rebuild of a bunch of stuff So just a couple things I wanted to show speaking of inputs and in in one case weird inputs Uh, so first one, not so weird, but this is my beautiful new ate a fruit macro pad that I have just started playing around with coding on And if you check out my little atom session over here on the right, I'm just using it as A keypad. I just have zero through nine a and b assigned to some of these keys with a little bit of Lincoln lights going on I started playing around with some ideas of doing uh Sort of a cheat sheet for what your different keys mean on the display here And then also have a little brightness with my encoder push there the button in the rotary encoder as well as Reading some values there and displaying them as I as I play around with that That knob there So that one is exciting lots of fun projects in mind with that And then the other one was actually I'm going to unplug this and show you Uh, this is our little new trinky qt 2040 And the thing I love about this is that it plugs right into usb port on your computer So you don't need a cable and you can plug other st Uh, uh, s stem of qt types of sensors on top I chose to plug in my nintendo We Chuck accessory Add-on that we have and now this is a fully Usb compatible mouse that I can plug right in by adding just that little dongle basically to the end of the the existing Product there. So with that plugged in If I swap over to photoshop real quick, you'll see i'm able to use this As a mouse cursor just with the the thumb stick And I can pull the mouse button down just using the little z button that's built right into our Our non-characterial emulators, you know what I mean? Like have it work with a we emulator for sure Yeah, yeah, definitely and you could also read accelerometer, which i'm not doing you can read the c button Uh, so there's a lot you can do with it and you can use different uh tools So if you if you switch around with keyboard shortcuts, what tools you're using you can now go and use like the pink bucket fill Or whatever you want to do um, so kind of an interesting way to Really quickly and inexpensively make a fully fully custom Add-on for pretty much any of these accessories.   And so here's the dongle But ours uh is really straightforward for for coding it to You know, I have it actually running in two different acceleration modes If I push a little bit or I push a little harder It goes faster or slower and you can just fine tune it for for your needs in uh in the circuit python code Which is available as soon as you plug it in it shows up, uh as a drive I actually did another demo. Maybe you guys are going to show it from uh From yesterday, which is using the u2 i f which i'm really excited about because that turns the trinky into essentially a usb Uh bridge between python on your computer and whatever the heck device you want to plug in over over stem of qt onto it So it really opens up a whole ton of ton of possibilities for you there Yeah, I always wanted to have it like a unified system where it's like we have one driver and the driver is the same everywhere And I it's like we're finally getting to it Yeah, no, it's very cool And we've had some some devices that are just that just that bridge But I kind of love the trinky for the fact that it's Both it's a it's a straight up rp 2040 qt pi type of device, but then it's also um able to be used as this bridge and u2 i f mode so All right We'll be playing some of your videos tonight and then don't forget everybody thursday jp's workshop you can learn all About come on. I will we'll be doing some cool stuff. Yeah macro patty kinds of stuff. I think so See y'all All right. Thanks everybody. That's our show before we go. Um all the shows are the same next week It's it's going to be a holiday on monday But I put it in the chat if you're gonna get an ate a box or you want to get an ate a box Or you're worried about part shortages and wouldn't it be great to like pre-order something that might be really cool This is kind of the way to do that. So ate a box.com. We have less than 200 slots open We have thousands that are going out So now is the time if you want to support ate a fruit and all the shows This is a good way to do it too ate a box.com. It'll be shipping next couple weeks And with that, uh, thanks for making this the best half an hour of our lives every single week The longest running and biggest show until online in the world Hey different show until we'll see everybody next week. Thanks everybody
