Well from New York it's Ask an Engineer. Hey everybody happy New Year. It's me Lady Aida the engineer with me Mr. Lady Aida on camera control. We're here at the Aida Food Factory behind us all the machines that make your dreams come true And make some hardware. Yeah, we do all of our design and coding and testing and shipping and all that good stuff yeah a jam-packed show for you about one hour of maker goodness news from around the world and more Mr. Lady Aida Why don't you kick it off and tell us what's on tonight's show? I'll tell you what's on tonight's show just first up We're wearing masks right now because we have one more person who's here and as soon as they're gone We'll take off our masks, but this is how we run Aida Fruit Lady Aida and I live together. So once the last person is out for the day We'll be able to take off our masks. I'm not concerned about us. I'm more concerned for Jaime The person who's still here Because I wouldn't want to get him sick. Okay, so let's kick it off on tonight's show. The code is New year is here. 10% off in the Aida Fruit Store all the way up to 11.59 p.m. Or if I don't remember it'll be up in the morning New year's here use it save 10% off get free stuff and more an Aida Fruit store on the way out Get Aida Fruit live series of shows. We'll talk about those including show and tell We got some time travel look around in the world of makers heckers artists and engineers Main New York City factory footage.  We're gonna answer your questions. We do that over on discord Aida Fruit that IT Slash discord join us there all 32,000 of us Tonight's gonna be a big show all that and more on you guessed it Ask me that's right Okay, so let's first do some COVID news so Y'all seen the news everyone's starting to get back from holiday. It is vertical. So everyone Pretty much at Aida Fruit is in some stage of getting tested at some point So Aida Fruit seems to be beating the odds once again our teams vaccinated boosted They're getting tests rapid tests PCR tests We wear high-quality masks. We have staggered shifts. We have lots of room. We have lots of airflow We have filtering. We've been doing all the things. So this wave is hitting everybody really hard and there's a lot of scary moments because People in their families are testing positive and they have very mild symptoms because they're boosted in Vax but it's still scary to get that news and The way Aida Fruit does pay time off and all the things is others focus and takes care of our team However, I know that's not what's going on in the rest of the world And I know that's probably not going on maybe where you work and I know that's not going on in probably your life and I know we're about to get through this because I could feel it thrashing It's Lassa gasp, which is the good news. The bad news is Everyone lost empathy for each other People are getting meaner and worse to one another People that are normally pretty decent This is it's It's frayed them to a point where they might not have any other way to react or interact online Other than anger and pain and depression And we're all going to be stuck with each other on the other side And I'm really worried about the damage that's being done With that right now You know, I could just say Just from a company point of view with Lady Aida and I She's had stalkers harassers people threatening her you think that was Something that would get lower over time it just goes up and one of the reasons is everyone's just been out of their minds for the last two years So it's unfortunate that everyone is is doing this and we are going to be stuck with each other So I'll just say please be good to one another because Bye bye. Hey take care um Because uh, this is Until further notice there ain't another planet to move to We're stuck with one another So anyways, um, that's that's the biggest that's the biggest concern I have right now is um, we're about to get through it But What's coming out on the other side is is is uh, probably a big national camp conversation that we need to have with each other Anyways, so uh, that's what's happening there and I'll be gone in a minute. Um, so let's start doing the show Lady Aida We give away free stuff That's right We're doing freebies. Um, we ran out of pink feathers, but we have black feather RP 2040 is available. We still have a couple left. So we're going to do Um that freebie. However, it's going to go away soon So, um, if you want a free feather RP 2040 for $9 or more a place for order now Um 149 or more you get a free um stomach qt board We have a bunch of different sensors and breakouts available $199 or more free ups ground shipping in the constants united states and $299 or more a free circuit playground blue fruit We'll also be going back to the circuit playground express due to the shortage It was a little hard to get samd 21 chips, but we got some more. We're gonna be making more of these And uh, we'll be back on track soon Okay, we do a live series of shows sunday. We did desk of lady aida today We did show and tell jp. Thank you so much We were running out of time today and I emailed jp and I said And no pager. I'm just like, hey, I think I might have to cancel the show and tell and I really don't want to do that and Ask an engineer just because everything that's going on. I was going to bump it or Not do it. Um, because it just takes a while to put these shows together And we were really focused on taking care of our team and just everything Um happened all at once. Um But thank you jp for doing this watch the show until everyone go to our page a to fruit dot com slash blog where you can watch it on youtube at any time Relive the magic on sunday. We do desk of lady aida and over the holiday break We've been doing retro stuff. So what was part one of desk of lady aida on sunday? Um part one That was even new years. It was new years. It was new years eve And it was going all the way up to we did a project right as it hit midnight Yeah, so I've been working on um floppy disk Interaction and um, I think on new years eve. I actually got floppy disk reading going so There's a bunch of one-minute videos as you see me learning how to interface with floppy disk drives Um using hardware. We're going to add circuit python support for floppy disks Um, but also it's really good for archival purposes. Um, you know, I even like as of like two weeks ago I thought a floppy disk and a floppy disk turns out there's like different formats and sectors and encodings And spindle speeds like this technology was you know used for Um, 20 25 years and a lot changed So, uh, I learned a lot and we were writing up some of that and documenting it But also you can watch the videos Okay, and then we did from the desk of lady aida the great search related user powers of engineering To go digikey.com and you were finding cool parts and things you needed and more and what did you what did you look for this week? Um, so this is for a floppy disk. I wanted to find the matching power connector, which is called a burg connector Um, you know, which is ironic I you know a lot of connectors are called by the name of the company even the company makes like hundreds or thousands of different connectors Um, but I found the connector showed where to get it on digikey And also even though floppy disk cables aren't made anymore I just found some suggestions for like here cables It'll probably work if you want to connect From this chosen connector to a floppy disk drive to power it. Yeah Okay, jp's part of pick of the week is back. We'll come back jp. Here's a highlight from this week's show It is the at tiny eight one seven seesaw breakout board what we've developed and we use on here a lot is the seesaw framework that is a I squared c to anything protocol. This is the rp 2040 qt pi I'm just speaking i squared c between these two things a lot of the heavy lifting is right here on the seesaw board So I'm reading a potentiometer And I'm taking those analog values and I'm actually converting them into pwm values to change This brightness on my yellow led here. I'm reading this little switch here This is actually a neopixel right over here And my potentiometer is serving double duty when I'm in this mode. I can Change the speed of a fade between a couple of colors or three colors to be precise It's the at tiny eight one seven seesaw breakout board Okay, and john's part workshop will be this thursday tomorrow Stop by and you will also be able to Check out the circuit by thumb parsic that resumes too after the winter break scott will be back this week Thank you tim from a guy for filling in for scott on deep dive, and I think scott is doing Some wrap up on some raspberry pi stuff raspberry pi zero. I think um sd card and uh usb wrap up getting some of that Stabilized learned a lot and he seems like he's like he said he's got fresh eyes and he's excited to go in and Knock out those lost few bugs. All right time travel Let's look around the world makers hackers arts engineer. We have a sort of new segment ish that I wanted to talk about um, but first uh a little bit of reminder because of supply Shortages because of all the things that are going on on planet earth. We've moved aida box to additions So before we tried to get uh some of them around some specific holidays Absolutely not possible in uh this current timeline universe So what we decided to do is say no problem. Let's just make it additions And then we're going to not have to hit a specific date We'll just have a range of times because there are four seasons. Um, so next year we'll be shipping the winter edition um, assuming something else doesn't come up, um in uh late january, uh, well, sorry this year, uh February so probably be february just the way things are going right now So, uh, there's only like a couple of slots left So if you haven't got an aida box and haven't got a subscription, we'll be full soon. So go to aida box.com Um, we started a little series. I hope to do more of this here's lady aida from high school A little bit after high school a little bit after high school, uh, but really close. I do have a lip ring I want to say I didn't get that till I was 18 But I've seen the picture of you in high school. You look identical.  What is this? Uh, thing that happened when you were in high school um with Joe gran and mudge kind of people well-known people in the hacker scene at the yeah at the time they were um local boss and buddies in the six one seven crew, but um When I was in high school, um, I was uh, I was helping out in the it department and Um, they were talking about a bunch of old like apple and and coco and Here I say like really old computer stuff that have been in the cage Are you saying in the high school? You did computer stuff and you were uh doing stuff at the it department. It's true. I'm shocked I know at the time it wasn't so cool But I was I was just you know the it director. She was really awesome And I think I was just helping organizing cleanup and she was going to dumpster all this stuff And I was hanging out with a lot of hacker crews and and hacker houses And um, you know one thing that I knew about hackers is like they love old hardware, especially free hardware And so it's better if it's free it does taste better So I you know, I called up or I emailed or I messaged kingpan Maybe I paged him losing page yourself and I said hey, um come by the high school And uh, help me dig through this this trash and maybe we can find something cool We could either sell it at swat me and we could recycle it into some projects Um, so Joe, Joe Graham came by. Um, he does a lot of hardware hacking stuff now And does does product design for power lacks among others Um, we dug through some hardware. We I think we got a pile of apple 2c's And then we had to get it. Um, I think to the loft and you know me and Joe grand were like We weren't dry. We didn't drive.  This is not the actual car, but I asked much This is pretty close though. This is it's the same car, but you know, I don't know if it's a King must 90s. It's a cobra. Yeah, it's a cobra Mustang. This was the coolest car ever What's funny is you asked much like, oh, what was that car?   Why were you carrying some apple two C's?  Sorry.    This is mine It's so terrible what people do to each other. I actually love the people think I'm like 25 Like I'm much older than that and I'm sorry to curse, but it bothers me that when you told me this story I was looking at a tweet that we had to block some guy because he was being so shitty online about You liking technology. This is a waste of time. Why is this? Why is this?  Yeah, but like why why is your experience have to be so much different? Like if you were if you were a young boy, it would be like, oh, look how he liked computers It's so good, but because you were a woman I don't know. I think we we live in a society that I don't like it I don't like it and I'll say this for 2022. I'm sorry everybody like we have to call it out We have to say stop I mean we're going to be positive and we're going to show good things But it's a little ridiculous that the day that we're getting this story and you're like, yeah The people made fun of me and I was cool in high school just for like a day because of this And we're like dealing with people being shitty to you. I don't like it I don't like it and here's the other part and I shrugged up because I think it's not a big deal I I shrugged because it's it is, you know, I agree So I have a let me put it on time travel because I don't want I don't want I don't want to Even have the apple logo. Look at this So Sorry apple logo.  You're too beautiful. Yeah So I remember I was talking to a CEO like person of a company that's very similar to Adafruit And I was telling them about something that we had to deal with we had to Basically get a restraining order against someone because of something that they said did sent mail just Physically anyways, it was a messed up. It got granted.  It doesn't make the debugger run any faster either Like I still have all the technical problems too. Yeah, and like eight of your worked out. Okay I would say we're a successful company. Can you imagine if you didn't have to deal with all that stuff? How much more hardware you can get out? Yeah, so anyways, I'm a little upset because I thought this was a beautiful story, but I also know the other side of the coin So maybe I'll edit this out later. Oh, we're live. I can't okay. So that's our tails from the hack Let's use the python news. It was a good story I still have the tier s80. I think back in my parents place. Go see if I can dig that out Okay, it's python on hardware time So this week in the newsletter, we've got a bunch of stuff going on circuit python 71. Oh final is out. I'm going to skip This part which is I'm going to play a video the nine part video of us getting ready to get floppy support Being able to control all this cool retro hardware with circuit python But the most important thing this week, please everyone everyone everyone everyone as 2022 starts For the last three years. We've put together a post 2019 2020 2021 even though some of those years probably should be removed from the calendar Um, what we want is you to tell us what you want in circuit python Um, just put your thoughts in one place. Tell you tell us what you like about it Tell us the things that you want to add to it. You can do a video on youtube a post in the circuit python Stuff you want to do a blog post A series of tweets a guest on github Or you can just email to circuit python 2020 at aterfruit.com and just let us know if it's okay For us to post your thing that you send us on our blog and more You can also use the short url. Well, it's short ish aterfruit.com forward slash circuit python 2020 and that'll take you to the blog post and more what's cool is you can see Circuit python evolve All this time because we built so cool a good community together a good community of people That is very inclusive that would always give you a ride in their cool car So and give each other right and what I like is um every year you see stuff that we say we're going to do You know and most of that list actually gets done like we are Making constant consistent progress both on the community side documentation side the hardware side So many little things that you know when we we work fast and work hard. There's a lot That we've added We have like over 250 board supported. We have hundreds and hundreds of libraries supported With blinker we support another like 50 linux boards and like believe me if it didn't work We would get a lot more emails. So it's it's really working out Our hardware other people's hardware people are are depending and using on Adafruit libraries, Adafruit software, Adafruit firmware, Adafruit hardware The whole shebang and the cold thing is everything is totally open source. So people Are mixing and max mixing and matching it with other hardware Getting stuff working and uh having a really good time. So Join in circuit python and python for hardware is is something that I think is Um Has really uh been an important change and update to the way people code in the maker community and engineering community I still like code in Arduino cc plus plus assembler and and other people do too and that's fine, but I think this is a really welcome New family member. Yeah, I like the um post holiday tweets and uh Emails that we get because folks say oh I was able to get a project up and running in less than an hour Because that's all I wanted to spend on in anyways Yeah, and they didn't have to do a toolchain. They didn't have to do anything. They just plugged in a board They modified a little bit of code and now they had this like beautiful blinky thing for their, you know, granddaughter or something like that So I thought that was um, that was really nice here And by the way, that's the other side of the coin sometimes, um, you know One out of a thousand things ain't great, but you have to focus on the 999 Um, I gotta tell myself that a bunch too. Um, so check out this week's newsletter.  There's a video on programming The Fibonacci micro 64 led board using circuit python codes on github and more You can make a riz five chip runs circuit python. This store was really cool, by the way Um, there's a circuit python online id update And then um, don't forget scott's deep dive this week And then we have some other news that you know, usually folks who are tuned into this stuff Or even if you're not maybe you want to know about it. Uh kai kai six Sorry key cat key cat six is up. You see key cat. I'll say kai kai and together we've covered it No, we should uh hate each other forever and kill the key catters And uh, you know, just dunk on each other forever and uh completely be jerks about it. Um And so anyhow, what I wanted to do is make sure we built in enough time this week Um, I didn't really expect to do a ramp, but I didn't sorry and uh play the video So we have rand of 2022. So proud of you. I was not at the first rand at the time This is the first one that's been broadcast So, uh, this video that we're going to show now is beginning to Almost present so it's nine videos in one nine one minute videos all together about eight minutes and it has zero to getting uh a raspberry pi pico rp 2040 to completely control read write archive A floppy drive with a floppy disk in it. So it's super cool All right, here we go. Lady. What's this? Okay, those are index pulses coming from this floppy drive that I am interfacing with I just got you know, the first kind of parts going where I enable the motor And I'm setting the direction. I'm going to you know, get the index pulses and then I'm going to find out when it's track zero Um, so basically kind of trying to read data off of this floppy drive so I could add native floppy disk support to circuit python Soon, I'll update this to maybe use the rp 2040 as well Um, right now. I'm just writing the code in our duino because what I'm familiar with so I finally get all the idc pins set up the way I needed to what was really helpful was this Really really nice modern datasheet from samsung for the sfd 3 2 1 b So it actually goes through everything you need Um, and so far so good. So I've just started basically getting the motor running The floppy disk is responding so far so good You know, uh, I want to copy that floppy. That's right Here I've got some more stuff going on with my floppy disk controller that we're going to add to circuit python So yellow traces you can see is the index pulse that goes low and then you see this like Moving blue line that's actually data coming out of the floppy drive If I click the single button you can see the data comes out and it comes out as these pulses that are like You know, they're they're supposed to kind of be like a pwm But they're actually just very low low pulses and then there's a pull up to pull it up high And you can see that the data comes in You know in in various widths and um, so that's actually the tough part of reading a floppy is this is about 500 kilohertz And the pulse width varies including the data. So over here I'm actually doing something a little naughty. I'm not using a pll I'm actually just very very quickly in a no interrupt loop Reading those pulses and printing out the pulse widths and I'm going to see if that's good enough to read data from a floppy drive Nice Nordic shirt. Lady at all again. Okay, so Part three of my floppy project is I've got the data coming out of the read pen And this is a gpo pen. I'm toggling up and down to show that I'm properly reading the pulse widths For the data that's coming out mfm format and then what I've done over here is You can see I'm capturing flux transition And I've got a cortex m4 here with like 256 k of ram And it's actually totally fine for me to just buffer the entire track of flux transitions because there's only a hundred thousand Transitions maximum per track Um, and you can see that there's a little bit of bending here So there's a couple pulses, you know a lot of pulses around 40 And then down here we've got pulses around 60 And then finally we've got pulses around 80 You've got a couple extra long ones, which is a little bit weird. Like why is it 228? So a little bit more to analyze here, but I'm starting to get data coming in and data looks right Lady, what is this? Okay, so we're doing some floppy drive hacking and I've got this like original three and a half inch floppy drive But these actually hard to get because they're not made anymore So I was wondering, you know, there's these off the shelf usb floppy disks And you know, can I somehow use those so I opened one up I cracked it open And actually has a sfd 321s sim some Three and a half inch floppy drive with a little adapter here and the adapter's got a little cheap chip on the back And there's all these points here And I'm hoping can I get flux transitions out of here because I don't want it to do the translation for me I want to get that raw data. Well, good news. Um, I found a really nice person Well, I actually did the pinouts and then when I access the disk you can see on the scope I get my index and flux transitions. So, you know, normally if you use these usb floppy drive converters, you don't You know, they give you like a usb mass storage, but this way can get that archival quality flux transition data Lily, what is this? Okay, I still got my Panasonic floppy disk drive and my feather that I'm interfacing with And I've gotten flux data out and now I want to get that flux data from the disk drive and the feather into the computer So I'm using this open source tool called grease weasel and I'm updating it to support um This setup that I've got here. So basically I'm reporting the grease weasel firmware into arduino So far so good. There's some like flux opcode thing that I got to figure out. Like I've got the flux data leaving here You can see it's got the flux data sent and then over here it says, okay, I got the flux data But then they're after like somehow encode the index. So I'm getting there. I'm close to getting raw data dumps Onto my computer using totally open source hardware and software. Okay, happy new year. Happy new year What is this? This is the first floppy disk.  I'm sending or the index Whatever I'm sending isn't quite right But for those first few sectors that I do get working The data is good. So I'm just going to have to figure out what it is that I'm doing that slightly wrong But I feel like I'm getting closer. At least I'm seeking and I'm getting some data Working from the beginning of the disk track What is this? Okay, I think I figured out all my power supply issues and my flux timing issues And I'm really ready to read the secret disk that I got that they hidden that place that one time Right. Thank you, Esenburn. So I'll put this in my floppy drive and then over here on grease weasel I'm going to start capturing Track data So I'm going to capture all the mfm ibm pc sector tracks all 80 times two heads So 160 total tracks Hey, so we have read all of the sectors a hundred percent. So it's ready to uh, open up Win image. We're going to open up that secret Image. Oh my god. So it's gonna open but I'm gonna open it anyways. Yeah, let's just open it Oh, no And I've got rick old my my own floppy disk Okay, so we still got our floppy setup going on here where we're capturing flux traces from a three and a half inch floppy drive But I've replaced The feather m4 samd 51 with this pink feather not just because pink is a cool color But because this feather has an rp 2040 on it Just a low cost chip from the raspberry pi foundation and this chip can run really fast also has a cool pio Uh peripheral so we're overclocking it to 200 mega. It's good. Why not? We're getting good, uh, flux captures over here And when we recompiled it and we're running a grease weasel. It's just working So this is cool because now I've got two different platforms that work with this arduino library Which is the goal to make it hardware agnostic some more people can Wire up hardware and build hardware to work with floppy disk drives and then next up Maybe we'll try this little fellow the raspberry pi pico four dollar microcontroller board What is this? Okay, I'm wrapping up for the night. It's gonna lay time to maybe do some yoga and chill out. Um, so I've got Um, the final board i'm going to interface with this is the raspberry pi pico. So this is a four dollar microcontroller um And the reason i'm targeting this is it's available like digi has 17 000 of in stock and Some of the hardware that people are using for open source floppy interfacing isn't available because we're in a silicon shortage But this chip is available. So it's nice is that the pinouts like kind of line up very nicely. You can um connect them straight through to your floppy disk drive um, and then load the arduino code onto it and I set up the pinouts all nicely and um Test of it. Uh, I read a whole floppy just fine and then I've submitted this to the um arduino library registry So you'll be able to get releases and maybe I'll even have it auto generate uf2 files So I think i'm done for tonight. Maybe time to celebrate good work glass of water. Yeah Okay, and let's strike a python news for this week. So this is beginning middle and Present to get to get us where we wanted to be so we would be able to start to add support for all sorts of removable drives and more Um, you know, we got some dunks and snarks about why would you do this? Well, there's a lot of media that is about to Just go away forever unless we preserve it Put online and more and also you can't get hardware. So you may as well Can get new chips get old chips revitalize this hardware that a lot of people have instead of throwing it in the landfill Yeah, you like the planet, don't you? Yeah, this is a good way to reuse it And um, so we're adding circuit python support the jeppler's working on that And um, I'm going to get back to adding more arduino support, uh shortly took a little bit of break Um, just to get back to business stuff to get all the new products in the store We're gonna talk about shortly But more to come cool, um never ending. Let's uh jump to may new york city factory footage We're gonna do 3d printing then we're gonna go right into ion mpi and then new products in some top secret And we should just be able to get it all in tonight. So take it away I can get us out of here That's time for may new york city factory footage And y'all are gonna like this this is the entire year of the um, disney Wow building Being built across the street So, you know a little bit of a slow start because you know, you got to dig a big hole You have to put down the foundation and then like it just goes And so this was built on um, we need the poo no, um, this was well Yeah, I kind of now that's part of its public domain You just have to make sure you don't put the rich shirt on um, and that is uh, this week's main new york city factory footage Okay, let's do 3d printing Okay, like I said, we have a lot to catch up on this week and a lot of videos So what we're going to do is we're going to play these back to back to back So the first one is the 2021 3d printing highlight reel. It's a couple minutes Then we're going to show these really cool 3d printed, um Vulcan Earring Ear things is cool. Elf elf elf 3d printed elf ear Bottle holders and then we have then we have two speed-ups. Yep. So, uh, take away known Pedro In this project we're 3d printing elf ears for our earbuds We were inspired by elf earbuds So we designed our own and made them so you can slip them over your existing earbuds These can fit most earbuds with a similar style We 3d printed it in ninja flex so the earbud has a nice grip when you press it through this loop This features a tapered edge so the earbud stays in place These can be fitted over your ear and wrap around the back Printing these in flexible filament makes them more comfortable and easy to wear We're still able to use the earbuds built-in controls so you can still use them normally We think this will be really cool for anyone who's into cosplay or if you just want to casually wear them You can print them in all sorts of different colors so you can match skin tones or whatever you like We hope this inspires you to try out some flexible filament and make some creative projects for your favorite gadgets Thanks so much for watching and be sure to subscribe for more projects from made of fruit All right, it's time this week sign up. Hi your company. They're up in white planes. Yeah outside of white planes So there are there are next door neighbors basically I don't like people who say upstate when it's many of our lawyers many of our lawyers are up there One time we had to go and uh Visit them. Yeah So this week is uh from janard tools and they make this really really nice Technician you'd be the kind of white. I like the um the the tread on the bottom, too This is very very sweet. Yeah, this is molded. This is sturdy.  So, uh, do you want do you want me to click? Maybe I'll click.  Um, so this is one of the few iNPI's that after like I got it I'm like I'm going to keep this for myself because this is Very handy. So it is a backpack. Um, it's got one big main pocket. It's got two Outer pockets as you said one of the really neat things is on the bottom is this flat molded rubber tire like Base which means it stands flat like if you put it down, it's not going to tip over it kind of has a nice flat bottom Um, but it also is waterproof. So it means if you're outside and you're like technicians working outside in the rain Or you know telephone system or whatever Um, you don't have to worry about your your backpack getting wet or damaged Um inside is like a couple dozen different pockets. Um, there's two multimeter pockets with like, you know, little Velcro straps to hold down the leads Um, there's a screwdriver pockets, you know one for each size. There's um ranch pockets Um, there is a special pocket on the outside for safety glasses There is a zipper pocket in the front for like documentation or Phones or whatever general purpose stuff Everything is like super padded and durable. So you're not going to get poked with a screwdriver Um, what I like is that everything has a spot, right? This is basically a replacement for a You know a tool bench or a toolbox where you're not going to like stick your hand into a sharp pointy metal Saw filled, you know backpack and everything's at the bottom and like a mess. It's like everything has its own place um But it's all the little details That I really like I'll show little details after we Um, we're going to hold up in video because there's like a lot of little things that I'm like, oh my god This is like so cool. It's so smart. Um, one thing I like is yet was designed by this new york company. It's got a Made for life guarantee. So it's like the quality is really good. I'm not worried about it But if there's any defect in manufacturing, um, they'll replace it. So and it's available on digigate for like under 100 bucks It's a really good deal. Um, it's it's a perfect backpack for hauling tools Or I don't know. I mean, I'm sure there's other purposes that this would be useful for Okay, so this is one of the things I really like there's this metal clip That has like a Hard backing and it's designed to like, you know, you have your tape measure And you clip it on and it doesn't come off and it's not like rattling in your bag. Um Tell me when you want me to hold it. Yeah Oh, there's this filter. Oh, this is nice. I didn't even yeah, there's like little slots There's little slots here so you can like, you know, you quickly you're like, I just want to put my rancher screwdriver or whatever pen Um, somewhere really quickly where you're like, I don't have time to open it. You can just put it here. There's uh, 10 slots There's a big velcro piece so you can like Have your own velcro stuff. You can see the velcro here. These are the slots This is nice. This is actually um, most people don't know this but this is for carrying your floppy disc drives Yeah, um Now this is it's it's hard molded and it's got um a little slot But it's soft on the inside because it's meant for carrying your safety glasses Um, so it's protected, but if you feel on the inside, it's got that soft felt And there's another slot and then This zips open and all the zippers have really good zipper pulls which I really like Um, this is just like a holder and then I like that all the um There's like side gussets for every pocket And then the main pocket Oh, just a little note here. This is a nice detail.  Yeah The two carabiners. Oh wait, I forgot to mention. This is cool. So on the side There's like two pockets for like larger screwdrivers This is for um electrical tape or duct tape or gaff tape.  I mean you can still put stuff in it, but it's really designed for Yeah, it's like I'm trying to think of a good analogy. It's like a really good tool belt. It's a backpack, but also more Yeah And then of course the bottom Yeah Is really good. And then of course it also comes with Free stickers, which is important. They're nice vinyl stickers, too So this is pretty sweet and everything's pad. The back is padded, but it's not all padded. It's just in the shoulder blades so it won't get sweaty And Yes, there's that card So this would be like a really good of course if you work As a technician, but if you have a friend who's a technician and you want to get them a gift This is a really nice gift to give someone that I mean They're gonna love it because like I'm actually kind of tempted to take this home Like we have a big toolbox and it's like a pain Yeah, so you could fit a laptop in here easily You could fit a laptop For sure I would just put it in a case just because you have all the tools with sharp things The front pocket could fit like a smaller like notebook or like a tablet, which is probably what it's for But yeah, it's a really nice. It's a really nice tool belt And I think there was a few left on digikey because you know hard to find anything on planet earth at the moment But there's some there so go to digikey you can check out the short year old there or the ID As well and that's this week's eye on MPI Sorry, but wait, there's more. I forgot. There's a video. Did you want to play the video or should we send? Yeah, sorry Let's play the video So excited No, actually, there's not a video. Okay, there's not a video. That's fine. We did the live demo We did the live demo, but there's a great video on the digikey site if you go to this product page There's a video where they showed in more detail with a really big close-ups of all of the pockets Apologies actually, you know what? Um, I can grab the yeah, I can grab that from over here. Hold on. Yeah. Yeah, let's play it. Okay You know what? It's been a day. Let's pretend that didn't happen. This isn't live. I'm gonna fix it. No, it's fine No, we used to know Hey guys, Ed here from Joan on tools today. I want to talk to you about our bp-100 technicians tool bag backpack This backpack is 20 inches tall By six and a half inches deep and 14 inches wide the backpack features 36 pockets and 12 straps that allow you to Put something in it very quickly and easily and has a two inch wide velcro strip in the front the backpack features a Strap here allowing you to hook up electrical tape and light It has a clip here for you to put your tape measure on it cushion straps and cushion back in the back for added comfort it has a heavy-duty eva foam front pocket to protect things like safety glasses or maybe sunglasses Inside the backpack has 36 pockets Additional spots to put things like small screwdrivers and like you can put them in these pockets as well has two pockets here for your meters Or anything you want to protect the backpack is made of 1680 d ballistic material Bottom here is rugged waterproof plastic. So keep it nice and sturdy and dry and some of those harsh conditions out on job site Thank you. All right, so that's really really my NMPI this week I guess I'll play this thing again. Yeah Okay, ladies before we go into uh new products, let's give everyone the code new year is here That's a code to present off the native first all the way up to 11 59 p.m Tonight are you ready to do this? Yes, let's do it. It's a new new New product of the new year happy new year new products. All right new products first up. Yeah It's a bench. Yometer. Um This is an um alpha of taiwan Right angle 5k linear panel mount bench. Yometer. I know it's a lot But we're actually gonna carry a bunch of different alpha pots And this is like the first one of the series Um, it's a right angle pot. A lot of people use these and stuff like synthesizers and mixers and all kinds of projects 5k linear, you know, we already have a 1k 10k. I think 100k Linear pots from alpha. Um, so we're just gonna add a lot more. So starting with this 5k It's a nice little pensionometer. The pin spacing is 0.2 inches. You can use it in a breadboard if you like It's a very fun pot Next up we have what I call the shortest usb-a to usb-c cable This little thing is handy because it turns anything into a trinket If you have a computer with a usb-a port plug it aside and now you can plug a board with a usb-c Socket on it into it and it's like an instant connection because usb-c is reversible You don't have to worry about like what if the board's upside down because it can always be reversed the other way It's a nice little adapter Shown here with a laptop. Yeah, it's a little handy like trinket of fire Slash shortest little usb-a to see adapter, but I think very handy for dev boards where you want to turn them into a little pluggy thing But they don't come with a pluggy thing. All right, and we finally got these as dog. They're here. Yeah Yeah, we got these, you know what they're called like a meditation box or sometimes a prayer box machine Yeah, these are often hacked people will use the cases or they um Do a circuit? Circuit bending circuit bending. Thank you on the After I said, I even took a photo of the uh pcb on the inside so you know what you're getting or you can meditate to them They are kind of cool We all needed that next up. Yeah, we definitely all needed that. Um, this will help you relax next up. It's the Cp 2102 friend. This is an update basically for our cp 2104 friend Which was an update of our ftdi friend Basically, it's a usb serial converter chip on a breakout with all the pins on the side broken out And then the end is like an ftdi cable end. It's it's basically this power ground data rts and cts combo like six pin connector That's often used in dev boards that need a usb serial converter and maybe a couple control lines But don't have that built in So the cp 2102 n is the next generation after cp 2104 And um, we love the cp 2104. It's a wonderful two megabit per second usb serial converter from sidelabs We use it in dozens of boards However, I know you're about to hear is we can't really get any more cp 2104s They're proving very difficult to find in the shortage Um, but we haven't able to get cp 2102s and so they're almost but not quite pin compatible Um, and for that reason we wanted to start with making a breakout because this is usb c One thing that's different is that it does have um up to three megabit per second not two megabit per second So it can't go a little bit faster than the cp 2104 The onboard e prime can be reprogrammed. Uh, whereas on the cp 2104, it's a one-time programmable So there there is a purpose for having two different breakouts for this board, but Basically, we're kind of trying to get this out to Have an option for people who can't get the cp 2104 And also to um experiment with this chip before we do a swap out of all of our other breakout boards From the four to the two that said it's a perfectly fine ftdi replacement and it's got usb c Uh rx and tx leds. It's got all the pins broken out. So if you need all those, you know weirdo Modem controlled lines like ring or um dtr or Uh, uh, let's see what else dcd, you know, you need those pins this breakout has them. All right, next up Next up is um by request a lot of people asked us to make a mcp 23017 breakout now we carry the chip for the mcp 23017 and honestly I've just been using the chip all this time But I do see the benefit of having a breakout where you know, the pull-ups are set up for you and there's the capacitors and And you know everything's kind of aligned quite nicely. So this little breakout has an mcp 23017 It's a 16 channel gpio expander That you can control over i squared c. So it has 16 GPio labeled a zero through a seven b zero through b seven And each one can be an output and it can drive or sink 25 milliamps of current So it's good for leds and stuff like that. It can also be inputs And the inputs can have pull-ups enabled so good for buttons as well So it's kind of like a nice general purpose GPio expander when I think about the mcp 23017 is it's like kind of old like it's a well established Known chip there's drivers for it all over the place. It's used so often Um and this breakout is semi qt compatible So you can plug it into i squared c very easily on the bottom are three i squared c address jumpers And so you can have up to eight of these on one bus. They use I think address 20 ox 20 through ox 27 It's gonna have lots of gpio, but it's it's a nice just reliable non weird gpio expander a lot of gpio expander has some weird thing going on this one does not it's really Normal so it's a it's a nice Easy 16 gpio plug-and-play with i squared c all right next up big deal stars show tonight besides you lady Ada our team our community our customers Everyone hanging out in the chat tonight is The first the last part we manufactured in 2021 and the first product We're releasing out of 2022 is the esp 32 s2 tft feather So we basically took a 1.14 inch color tft display and slapped it onto our feather esp 32 s2 to give you a Wi-Fi microcontroller board based on the esp 32 s2 with native usb Two uh megabytes of ps ram four megabytes of flash It's got a lot of capability a lot of speed and it's got this color tft display and You can see I also have a little neopixel up top and a stemmy qt port so you can plug and play i squared c reset and boot button It's went through a couple different redesigns due to part shortages and et cetera et cetera Um, but you know if you want something that's just ready to go. It has a display Um, you can even use the you know the boot button as an input So you might be able to do even some simple projects that just need like one button Um, and a display and and i squared c you know plug for external sensors or go to the other hand expanders Let me see if this um Okay, so here you go So The demo I will say it's like oh you have a battery. I don't have a bad the um There's a battery monitoring chip So it in my oh and you have it plugged into a an actual plug thing now. I know. Yeah, there you go Okay, that's nice and sharp um No, no, what happened? I think I pressed something Hold on live demo could be my fault because I um I had moved the power supply over there. I think yeah, sorry about that. Hold on. Let me um Just give me one moment. All right While Lady Eda is uh getting another cable thing here. Yeah, I think that's my bad I had to move stuff around folks. So while we're uh Waiting Admire the photos. Oh, yeah, you don't have a cable Everything everything's been moved. We did a lot of cleaning but um I think we're gonna I think we're gonna stick with the photos then let me stick with the photos and um Actually, let me just go to go to the overhead so I can point out things Apologies, I think I unplugged the uh the usb cable. Um, okay, so I've got usb c uh battery input and you can see here's the stem acutee port um, you can plug in vertical There you go. Um, you can plug in uh vertically so you can have i squared c um sensors and expanders Reset and Reset and boot buttons color tft display. It's all feather compatible. Of course, you wouldn't want to plug a feather Um on top of it like a feathering on top of it But you could use a doubler or you could stack this on top of I'm gonna try this other I think Something I think that power supply is dead because the power lines it It's okay. It happens. Um Yeah, everything everything got shifted around here On the bottom we've got um an esp 32 s2 mini with four megabytes of flash two megabytes of ps ram All the passives for monitoring the battery. There's an lc 709 203 um And that's a i squared c ultra low power battery monitoring that does like Voltage and not cool. I'm counting but it like kind of tracks the voltage You just tell it the capacity of the battery and it'll automatically um It'll automatically tell you the percentage and voltage of the battery So you can like track the percentage and not have to do the the math to convert like 3.7 volts to whatever And there's also a second regulator The second regulator is used to um Disable power From the i squared c or tft display so you can do like ultra low power usage because I think that could be You know more people are trying to use our boards for low power and I thought I had time with this one to to because I had to redesign it doing Due to the component shortage um So you can turn off the tft power and the power to the i squared c port and get down to like 82 100 micro ampere Which is about as low as you can get in deep sleep when using an esp 32 s2 And still have like, you know the regulator and then of course in A lighter sleep like a sleep where you want to We zoom execution. I think it's about 1 milliamp So overall pretty Full featured boards. It sounds like the most stuff. It's uh double-sided. Um, so again, you know, you you don't want to put a Feather on top. I recommend like a doubler or something with this if you want to add More hardware, but this is also great for a breadboard because overhead You can use on a breadboard and have the tft display Um, and um, you know plug it in and it'll the the height of all the components on the bottom isn't higher than The header spacer. So that's kind of what I recommend it to be used for Um, but otherwise it's basically just like a feather esp 32 s2 with a high speed tft display And for circuit python, it's great because you'll have The wrap will show up on the tft when you plug it in And that's new products All right. Well, guess what? We're gonna do some top secret Things ran a little late tonight, but I know we're not gonna stop. We're gonna get you done Yeah, so let's do top secret and y'all can load up questions over in the uh discord chat because that's where we do The question and answers. So uh, first up, I'm gonna do a couple of things. Yes. So this is the, um logo for the Floppy project we're doing right now. It's called data fruit floppy. We'll see something but uh the logo If you look close, this is the back of a floppy. Floppies don't have two hubs and spin around but uh a rabbit does And then these are ears.  There's an arrow in it And then you can see there's this like a couple variations and stuff like that and for those who know me A little bit of a secret You love monocle logos. Well, not only that But the hackaday logo was almost a floppy That was going to be like a rabbit or with like skull stuff Yeah, and so it was going to be like a rabbit skull with like wrenches or something like that. So that's the hackaday logo I did and uh, you could see there's like, you know, I have a style of the thing and then this is uh Bruce our designer uh worked with me on this and it was uh, it turned out good It definitely looks like like the bunny and the skull are best friends. They're friends Let's hang out, make coffee together. And so then you were showing off these things. This is the super duper floppy Flippy flopper. Yes. This is um, a little breakout board to A standard floppy 34 pin connector and also a 26 pin Um surface mount connector for laptop floppy drives. Okay, and then you had another thing This is just a little feather friend. This is something that's going to make it easier for me to do Um projects with floppy disks because I can plug in A feather without having jeweled a wiring. Do you copy that floppy? this is um Important that when you make a package for a floppy disk drive that the The schematic symbol muscles like a floppy. It's the rule and like I actually spent a few minutes Also made a breakout on request for the drb 2605 Revisited um, and it's a bit cesp 32 and um finished routing an rp20 40 metro airlift All right, and that's top secret All right, so don't forget go over to discord aterford.it slash discord join all 32 000 of us And uh, we're going to answer your questions. There's a couple lined up already Okay I hope it's not why did I just break my power supply because I know well no because we look You know, I'm angry at this power supply move fast and break things. I think that was my fault It's okay. No, I think I kicked. I don't know whatever who knows Um, okay, I put away all my batteries. I was like, I'm going to clean my batteries And of course now I don't have a battery so I usually I have like three batteries in a pile on my desk And of course that's like I want to clean up and now I can't find them Yeah Sometimes having piles of stuff is helpful. Yeah Yeah, we just had to clean we were at start Our apartment is definitely a place where someone who does electronics lives. Um, anyways, so a couple questions that came in Uh, folks say I love all these logos or any chance for a sticker versions in the future.  Yeah, I'll do some I'll do some stickers. Yeah, yeah That's the problem. Oh wait, I had one more.  What else you got? Oh boy.  Okay coming soon. Not a question, but uh, It's nice treat for everyone. All right. Uh, thank you for the swd header on the rp2040 metro And then uh, folks seem to like the rp2040 metro Do ganfits offer any advantage thermally and other in low frequency dc such as in a ssr You know, I don't know. Um, every time I've I've, um, controlled an ssr. I've just used like a plain fit.  So what what did you use to design? Uh Because it's a common question. What do you use to design this? This is eagle cat. This is eagle cat components editor Yeah, which you can export into, um key cat or cat cat. Yes, either one of this either one of this All right, it's xml. Okay, let's see. I think some folks are typing. So we'll see if there's any more questions Yeah, and then we'll skedaddle Um, oh, how do you get a hackaday skull sticker? Well, I think you could probably hackaday. Well, well go to hackaday.com and email them I'm not connected with the site anymore. I just started it did everything and then now it's theirs Um, they've given away tons of stickers at events and more Um, I have my own little small collection, but they're around The only thing I'd say is I think Events since we're not doing in person events means we're all not getting a lot of free stickers so, um I mean It's uh, ronald and chat ronald if you can't if the hackaday won't send you on Email pt at atafruit. I'll make it happen. I mean like I don't have please everyone don't email I don't have enough for everybody, but you know okay, um Next uh The new atafruit esp32 s2 tft Have you used ppk2 or equivalent to power uh for the power consumption at full power on with wi-fi? No, because I don't care I only care about the lowest power right that's that's the part that you have to engineer to do Believe me you want to connect all sorts of peripherals turn on the tft backlight full power turn on the wi-fi Um, you'll yeah, you'll start peaking at 200 Milliamps easily, but um, it really depends on your situation The only thing I can control um is the lowest power and we got that down to under 100 microamps Good work. Usually people are most concerned with yeah, most people don't ask what's the most power can use Yeah, I think for for microcontrollers. It's like oh like does it have sleep does it have this can I do low power stuff Can I turn on once in a while watch dog stuff? Can I do something and go back to sleep? Um, that's a good question like we should also do the other way max this board goes to 11 I connected it to a light bulb and I think lady either we're gonna be Uh folks like the Color tft. Yep. They're like that. All right. I think you're out. Yay Okay calling it right. That's our questions this week. Well, thank you everybody for joining us uh this week in an exciting show Um mask up get back skip boosted. Um, this will be over, but please stick around for the other side of it I know I'm gonna be good to each other Especially thanks jesse may who's doing stuff behind the scenes in the aid of fruit slack special. Thanks to everyone in the aid of fruit chat I'll say uh, I had a crummy day, but I feel a lot better Because of all of you out there and in the chat and being nice and everything. So thank you.  Okay. Thank you Um, all right, so have a floppy share a floppy. Yeah, so we'll see everybody next week Again, especially thanks jp for doing show and tell this week. Thank you everyone. Don't forget the code is New year is here. We'll see you next week and uh, Hopefully this weekend we'll have some more progress on projects. So stay tuned to all of our blog social and all that and uh We'll post up some more cool stuff Of uh, more making things and sharing it with the world because that's what you do all the way back to high school You were doing that. That's true Some things change But some things a lot of things don't and that's okay. That's fine. The good thing like it's good I think I think I think young lady it would be proud if I could broadcast this and show her What you're up to. Yeah, I think she'd like it. Yeah, okay. All right, everybody. We'll see you next week This has been a native fruit production. I there's no reason I say this by the way. I just like doing it. Um, here's your moment

This is FM8 from Native Instruments, a synth plug-in which normally costs $150 but you can currently get it for $10. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you will. Now before you rush off by following the link in the description down below and buying this great plug-in, you may want to wet your appetite by sticking around and listening to some of my favourite presets from FM8. Now once you do buy the plug-in, you may want to head back here because towards the end of this video I've got a mini tutorial on FM synthesis using this plug-in just to get you going with creating your own sounds. But let's start off by taking a look at some atmospheric presets. There are many atmospheric and pad type presets which come with FM8 and I have picked just four of them to show you here. The first one is called Aftersign, let's have a listen. Not a basic sound that could be used in all kinds of situations but what about something a little bit more complex below freezing? I love that high stuff going on there. Now I've picked something as well which is called Emerging Intruder. This one's got quite a slow build-up to it, okay so hang in there and I think you'll like the results. I mean if you're using this for a soundtrack and you want to create a kind of a spooky or tense situation, absolutely amazing. And finally I've gone for something a little bit more complex again with this one which is called Likeness Within. Now you'd be forgiven for thinking there's some kind of arpeggiation going on there. There isn't but there are quite a number of presets which do use the arpeggiator feature of FM8. Let's listen to a few of those now. This ambient mallet, the first of the arpeggiated presets that I've picked here from FM8 and let's try another one here, a little sort of breathy one called Breather, sounds like this. Of course you can adapt these yourself to your own needs and by the way they can be linked to the tempo of your door as they currently are at the moment, all of these are being played at 120 as my door is set to that and you can see that tempo sync is switched on here. Let's try this one, this is called Crystal Clear Guitar. That could be the basis of a whole song right there, something a little bit more electronic sounding, Dub Deliberate, there's such nice sounds going on there and finally let's try Smooth Stab. In case all of that is all a bit soft for you, let's go to some edgier presets. Colour of dirt there has got a little bit of an edge to it but let's just dial things up a little bit and go to this one, Crunch Crusher, like that very edgy indeed or like this one, Multiple Life. And finally to get really edgy, how about this one, Tube Thumper. When I say really edgy, there's a nice way you can adapt this one, if we go over to the Easy More feature, which I'm going to go into in a little bit more detail later on, we can use this kind of joystick control here to adapt the sound, so we can start off with a rather softer sound here and get much more edgy. Again, more on Easy More later, we're getting pretty rhythmic there, but how about some percussive sounds? Of course, we can take that sort of percussive sound and we can arpeggiate it as we have there to get rhythms going like that with that Cannabals preset. How about this one, Be Styly. Again, the basis of another song. And finally, what about some pitched percussion with this Marimba preset? Now, before we get into actual synthesis, I thought it would be fun to take a more in-depth look at that more feature we looked at earlier. I've got this After Sun preset loaded up here, it sounds like this. And then I can use that joystick control here to change the sound. So let's do that. And this is a way of morphing some of the presets we have. So for example, we've got our After Sun preset, but I'm going to go over to the browser. Let's go for likeness within. Now, you can see there's a little mini representation of the morph feature at the top right here. So I'm going to take that likeness within preset and I'm going to drag it to the bottom right corner of the morph or the mini morph representation. Now I'll drop it there, go back to the morph interface and you can see likeness within is here. So now we can morph to that preset as well. So as you can see, it's really cool and quick and easy to use feature to start to blend for your presets together. When you start to do that in real time, you get some really nice organic effects. So now that we've got a good overview of the presets, which come with FM-8, how about making your own sounds from scratch? If you've never done it before, that may seem a little scary. Well, I'm going to give you a quick guide now to help you get started. And I think you're going to find it's actually a lot of fun. Sounds in FM-8 are created by using its six oscillators. And we can see them lettered here, A, B, C, D, E, F. Currently, oscillator F is switched on and its level is set to 80. And if we click on it, we can see its controls appear over here. And it currently sounds like this. That's the sound of a sine wave. Now, things get much more interesting when we take one of the other oscillators and feed its output through to this oscillator. So let's turn on oscillator E here by right clicking on it. And then I'm just going to look at the place on the matrix here where they intersect. That's this cell here. I'm just going to click and drag up. Yeah, and that sets the output level going through from E to F. OK, so you can see how that routing is working there. Let's just see how that changes the sound as I move that level up and down. Well. So you can hear there how oscillator E is changing the sound of oscillator F. Now, we can then change the rate of oscillator E here. I'll click on it, yeah, and I'll go over to its ratio over here. And you can see how that changes as I drag that up and down. And if we get it down really, really low, yeah, I'll just keep dragging it down and down and down. You can actually hear the oscillation there. It's slow enough that you can really hear it and it creates that kind of vibrato effect. So let's set the ratio for the moment to just change that to say five and have a listen to that. Now, where things become much more interesting is when we change this level over time, OK, so it's not just at a constant rate. And we can do that by using the envelope control. So you can see those down here. I'm just going to drag one of the handles here and just do this little envelope here where we've got a very quick attack here and then a bit of a decay. And that then sounds like this. So we're getting that oscillation from oscillator E going through to F, but it's changing over time. Yeah, we could do something different here and change the attack. Let's try that. Yeah, you can see and hear the effect that that's having there. Let's just make that quick attack again. We'll just adjust this a little bit. I'm going to change this up here now to 15. Yeah, I'll keep messing around with the overall level over here. Get that down to 15. Have a little play with that. We've got our first kind of electric piano kind of a sound. Now, you can do much, much more complex routing than this, of course, and much more complex envelopes. Not only can you feed oscillators through to each other, but you can also have them feedback on themselves. You do that by going to the cell above the oscillator. So I'll go above F here and I'll drag up and we'll have a listen to see how that sounds. You can hear you can get much more sort of aggressive sounds by doing that kind of thing. There's much, much more to explore here. With these controls, I encourage you to do that. But that's the basis of FM synthesis in FM 8. Honestly, if I can do this, you can do this. It's just a matter sometimes of pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Talking about that, I recently did push myself outside of my comfort zone by making a beat. You can watch the video about that over there on the other side of the logo. I had a lot of fun using some other native instruments plugins for that. Check it out now.


Hi there, my name's Melanie Mark. My Nisqa name is Lahakwiskak. I'm the Minister for Advanced Education, Skills and Training. And I wanted to reach out just in case you may have missed some of the announcements that we've had over the past year. I wanted to give a shout out to our Premier, John Horgan, for mandating all cabinet ministers to bring forward the truth and reconciliation calls to action. I'm so proud of the day that we removed those unfair barriers that stood in the way of people that wanted to go back to school through adult basic education and English language learning programs. I'm so proud of that moment that we announced that it would be free for former youth in care to attend any of the public post-secondary institutions in BC. Hundreds of young people have stepped up to the plate and I just want to say how proud I am of you. I'm so proud of people that have stepped up to get a career in the trades. We know that people in the trades are building their homes, their schools, their roads, their communities. They're building up the best BC. I'm proud to be a part of a government that worked with public post-secondary institutions to make sure that we can build student housing on campus. I'm so proud of a government that has invested in the 21st century. 2,900 new tax seats are available across the province. I'm so proud to be a part of a government that is about making sure that we don't leave people behind, that is going to keep lifting people up.

You're having one of the best post seasons ever 13 games with at least 30 points and Some are comparing you to to Michael Jordan and saying how this could really positively Affect your legacy, right? Is legacy as it's portrayed by the media important to you? I mean, I've never been you know, one of those guys that you know Growing up in high school getting all the media and the college media so I don't really think my legacy is gonna ever reach The potentials of Michael Jordan and I know you said before you can't predict the future Yes, but uh, Michael Jordan had four straight 40-point games against the Suns in the NBA finals. I'm not Michael. Is that in jeopardy? I'm not I'm not Michael Jordan For 40 points in a straight two born a row. Yeah, I'm there up. No, I'm not Michael Jordan If there was one area of weakness people thought was a week was Michael Jordan was his outside shooting and Michael Even when one step beyond he even proved his three-point shooting me and now he's a pretty proficient shooting from the three-point line He's just it's impossible to defend him Chuck beta said to me he's a choice when I talk to you a second. I see a truck anything You're the second best basketball player in the world. I said, you bet me He says that month right there. I said, you're right about that I says, but thank you and I said and I've said it many times. That's the best compliment I've ever gotten from somebody Listen, Michael's the best I've ever seen. I played against Michael a lot. We came into the NBA together So I played against him. I was in the NBA for 16 years. I think he played 12 or 13 retired early and blah blah blah But when I got to Phoenix, I told those guys the first day. That's guys. We're going to the finals We're gonna play that mother from Chicago.  Yeah, and I says we're gonna play them foot in the championship And we got there they beat it and that and that was the first time I ever said in my life Damn, I think there's somebody better than me at basketball. That's the first time in your life in my whole life But when Chuck gave me that compliment it meant a great deal to me I Go join I'm gonna go say hi to Michael, right?  I've done done all the other big fellas of your day Great respect for my Michael. I think we're friends. I mean for least for my part we're friends And I don't just want to sit there and go my Michael. You're wonderful. I mean even though I feel that way. Yeah, he is It just isn't it isn't my way. You know, we stroke a guy so much. Yeah. Yeah, it's he's a great player anybody that asked me I'll tell my he's he's in the Maybe the top player of all time. I mean that I hold him in that kind of regard But it doesn't mean I need to sit around there and tell them about it all Yeah Well, I've been checking him for seven years behind the curtain in practice, so It was kind of tough because I didn't I didn't want him to embarrass me out on the court But you know, Michael's one of the greatest players ever played the game and it's tough to shut him down I Realized that throughout my career. I had a lot of fun with him and I really appreciate him on the other hand I think the fans who really appreciate the great Enthusiasm Michael has brought to the game of basketball and especially to Chicago State The thing that amazes me about Michael Jordan and about The I think the rest of the players in the league is his stamina and his endurance the thing that I Wasn't able to do the thing that magic wasn't able to do we succumbed to injuries We didn't have the type of stamina the type of energy level that Michael seems to possess Every single night rather he's playing against the worst team in the league or the best team in the league He has an energy level that's unmatched by any other player or any other athlete that I've seen in professional sports His energy level is so so much greater than ours. It seems that Night in night out. He's there performing at a level that we frankly just weren't able to reach and that's why he's there tonight Healthy and trying to three-peat in magic and I became the injury Hi, praise. That's for sure. I say I come from a Jordan era I am biased and I'm gonna be a bias today. I pass away Michael Jordan will be my goal always loved you I love you even more. He would be my goal, but that doesn't mean it I'm not taking anything away from LeBron LeBron is amazing But Michael Jordan is my goal I play basketball because of Michael Jordan what Jordan has done the blueprint that he has laid is Incredible and it's amazing and I'm thankful for it because I'm able to take a little bit of that and go do my own thing 97 was in Minnesota and flip that switched and put me on Michael Jordan One of the greatest problem ever touched a ball And we was on the right side of court and I counted his dribbles I was able to catch his his dribbles, you know one two come back crossover He crossed the back over one two when he crossed back over I stole it. Give me this very next play down We go down score the very next play they called a very next play This is this is no sauce Account the dribbles one two come across when I blinked he was gone I turned around he was dunking the ball giving somebody dappin halfway down the court that fast That's not new Michael Jordan Wasn't human I grew up in the 90s. That was my era I watched the Bulls all the time, you know growing up in the 90s Michael Jordan will always be that the goat Always I don't care who comes along. I was a huge huge fan and and to put us in that category I would I would never even go near that Michael Jordan used to always say that you was his favorite player and use the one He always looked to when you used to see him play Did you see the similarities, you know, my particular style of play was really rooted in solid fundamental approach to playing the game and with one exception when handling the ball You know, I always would look for daylight, you know wherever there was daylight And sometimes, you know They don't be a little bit of daylight like between two players and find a way to get the ball between in your body through There's in the palm of the ball Or you know, I'm saying the dump style and stuff like that. Did you see the similarities of seeing that he's watching? You know, I would always see daylight and maybe I could see daylight that a lot of other players couldn't see and I see a lot of Extraordinary players today Jordan and Drexler and what have you they see daylight where other players don't see that and it was funny because I Remember he came down and he dumped on like a whole team And then I went down and dumped on his team And he was like I could do it again, you know I said, all right, well, I want to get one shot at it. You know, I made it so Right, but but it was fun and and you know, we those years when we overlap We kind of caught him before he really hit his stride You know, I mean I always liked him and I always felt that he had a lot of respect He had a lot of admiration, you know, he was gonna carry the torch He certainly desired to do it did a hell of a job You obviously got to play against Michael a lot on the court What what was it about him that made him so special?  So when I say the name Michael Jordan, what comes to mind? Michael Jordan Michael Jordan Like what else I need to say? We was playing Chicago in Salt Lake They switched and put John Stockton on it and he turned around and dunked on stock So some guy got up and almost falling down the sidelines ain't Jordan pick on some of your own size Next time down the floor, he dunked on male turpentine and we're over looked at the guy. So was he big enough? Who was your favorite five over the years over the history need over the tote NBA? Yeah, that's all the NBA from when you play to now. Who was your favorite five? Not your top five, but just your favorite five Well, I'm gonna say Jordan, you know, it's difficult in different ages, but not to say this guy was better than this player than that player Just get very by a neighbor's feet But it's gonna happen, you know I think it's great for the fans to say the players of this age are greater than anything else never played Which is all right. I really like Michael Jordan and he and I are friendly this guy Has done more spectacular thing In any basketball player ever so I agree I mean that that's that's Jerry that is saying a lot I agree He just stands apart from every player I've ever seen that that speaks volumes and the thing that people don't realize Is some of the stuff he could I don't think there's any flaw in this guy's game He's the best defensive player in the league in my opinion. He's a best competitor in the league in my opinion He's by far the best offensive player in my opinion He's the best clutch player in the game He's got the whole package and his skill level On top of that enormous physical package really sets him apart from the other players. He was the best defensive player Yeah, yes, absolutely. He was the best offensive player, right and his athleticism He was in Carolina and they were running I forget the hundred or 40-yard dice He ran at some spectacular time Well, and one of the coaches said something to him differently and he's he's all I can do better than that Wow, he went out in two tenths of a second faster. Wow, the legend of Michael Jordan and just get told Every single day. Mm-hmm. You know, it's a Michael Jordan story getting told by somebody on earth right now Yeah, he was the standard He was what you strive to be as the basketball player to you know Have so many stories and just know what he bought to the game and know how much he changed the game and then to have him walk in and just To see that in form is just like that. It was just it's captivating. You know, he's just a polarizing figure He's built himself up to that point. It's like he's almost 60 years old and we still view him as the best player You know, so He went on a historic run that'll never be matched by anybody in the sport But to see how he led by example every night was the same You know, he dominated and I was simply us just simply the best leadership quality is to go out there and play a game It's hard as you can play to win and play at that elite level, you know, and he was at that masterful level of You know just his skills for the game is IQ for the game It is and his athleticism at all combined at once and made just You know God-level player in my opinion. I love MJ. That's my guy. How many times he been there six six I mean time you know, I know six I mean everybody love MJ as a fan as a somebody who just love, you know like creativity competition especially Impact the game with both into the floor You always I'm sure you always felt like there is time for you to flip the switch and get things back under control he's obviously He's the goat. What if we could send Michael Jordan back to playing basketball with you in your Michael Jordan is one of those rare specimens that could have played in any particular time and is a gift that Get that athlete who is using those gifts in basketball incredibly. So Well, I just went over to say hello to him and I was like everybody else. I meant all he has been the layers on between Something that's not so good and making it great for all the rest I think that almost every man the NBA should give him 10% of their checks So I have watched him a lot. I know you want a great player. He is but I've never really Know how to like me for I was never a bulls fad. I was never a Jordan fan Invited with me listen Jordan was the greatest in my opinion. Is he the best to ever play the game?   Yeah. Yeah, he's trying to soften you up.  That's why you almost can't beat him The only thing I can see that's a weakness to Michael Jordan It's the fact that if he shows up and he just don't want to play and then only score 30 and start a 50 Michael Jordan is not only the best basketball player, but he's the most exciting basketball player to ever play We we only dream about doing things that he can do and that's what made him Michael Jordan one similarity I guess there are many but one that strikes me between you and Michael Jordan Larry is that killer Instinct totally ruthless on the court. You had that and Michael does too That's all for nice Bob comparing me Michael Jordan probably grace playing the game right now I can tell you some things that happened in the games against us one time I turn I jump and he still went his knees. Those almost hit me in the chin And that's when I realized that this guy's pretty special for his jumping ability, but cat quick He closed down a pass lane as fast as anybody ever seen and just a phenomenal player And go to another level anytime he wants to Michael is a great player And I just try to do the best I could against them because it's one thing and watching them play And then it's another thing I'm playing against them This technique was flawless. I wanted to make sure my technique was just as well Been down a half court and you want to know how When I turn around on my jump shot how to feel the defense I told me she feels the defense with the legs once you feel the defense is a leg you can take advantage of that that was Very inspired that's one of the few guys that I would pay to watch play because he is so talented and and so much fun to watch and If they can get some a couple more Just good players with him They'll be the championship contenders as soon as he came to the league he started leaving the league and scored And so I knew he could do it and James Worthy said watch this guy He's gonna he's gonna be something and he was absolutely right.  I'm not better than him, but I was at least as effective as he was. You know, I wear the number because of Mike. I Think I fell in love with the game because of Mike. No, when you're growing up and you see him Michael Jordan It's almost like a guy The way that he approached the game the way that he led his troops when he went out on the court And his never say die attitude man was a was something I always looked up to from my name to come up in a discussion With the greatest basketball player of all time It's like it was like wow I did pretty much everything that MJ did when I was a kid I shot fadeaways before I should have I wore a leg sleeve on my leg and folded it down. So you saw the red part I wore black and red shoes with white socks I wore short shorts cuz you so you could see my undershores underneath, but I did everything Mike did man I wanted to be Mike and So for my name to come up in any discussion with Michael Jordan, so it's just a wild factor I don't really have nothing to say. First of all, you're never gonna say who's the greatest of all time to me I think that's that's more for PR and more for selling stories and getting hype It's an unfair parallel. It's unfair choice. This is one way you can judge the two How much impact? Did each change or evolve the game and I hope you guys enjoy the video if you did Please help me up by hitting that like button subscribe if you're new and here are two new Michael Jordan videos I think that you will also enjoy and I will catch you guys in the next one


From Costco to Nike, why major retailers are sounding the alarm on rising costs, some nearly ten times more than the normal average. How that could hit you and the wallet very soon. And speaking of money, Democrats still pledging to spend trillions more of your tax dollars would admit that number could change. We'll discuss all of this with the founder of Stock Swoosh, Melissa Arnault. And what does President Donald Trump have to say about the State of the Union? How you can tune in to another exclusive interview and later. Can't afford a flight to the moon? No problem. One city has a more down-to-earth option that might just, well, leave you moon-struck. All those details coming up next, right here on News On. Happy Monday to you. Hope you had a lovely weekend and welcome to this edition of News On. I'm Miranda Kahn. Set today, Republicans and Democrats once again careening toward a government shutdown Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer has scheduled an initial vote on a short-term funding measure to keep the government afloat and suspend the debt limit for at least another year. Democrats rejected using reconciliation to address that debt ceiling, noting that the procedural hurdles of the budgetary process could make passing such a measure very difficult before the U.S. government faces default. Pelosi, the House Speaker, also told ABC News this week. George Stephanopoulos, the host there, that she wants the debt vote to be bipartisan. The decision was made that it would always be bipartisan, whether on our part as we have cooperated in the past with Republican presidents or on their part. It is totally irresponsible. And I would think that the business community would speak out on this because it has devastating impact on our credit rating as well as global economy. This is a big, beyond a big deal. So let's hope that the Republicans will find some, enough of them, find some level of responsibility to our country to honor what's in the Constitution that we not question.  So will they default? Well, as I mentioned, Schumer says they're hoping to punt that for at least another year. Now, over the weekend, Pelosi vowed that the Democrats will also pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill this Thursday and push ahead on the bigger $3.5 trillion spending package while acknowledging that total amount will likely drop. And a slew of factors, including rising shipping costs and supply chain bottlenecks, for example, are persisting and should last through the upcoming holiday season. Companies warning many retailers. I mean, we're talking Costco, Nike, FedEx, now sounding the alarm on escalating shipping prices. For example, just to kind of put this in perspective to get a 40-foot container overseas, let's say from Shanghai to New York, that used to cost about $2,000 a year. Now, it runs about $16,000. Joining us live now to talk about how this long, this could continue, and how this could, more importantly, impact your wallet is CEO and founder of Stock Sewish, Melissa Armo. Good to have you on the show. So obviously, everyone's been paying attention to rising gas prices. And I think I saw over the weekend, one city in California had the highest gas prices in the country. $2.75. Obviously, we've been talking about that's been hitting people hard in the wallet. There's been some debate whether or not how much of an impact the Biden administration has had on that. However, we all notice rising grocery prices, as I mentioned. Shipping prices, that's a big difference to go from 2,000 to 16,000. Is this all because of the pandemic, Melissa? And how do you expect that to impact us in our wallet? Well, I think it's going to impact citizens in one of two ways. First of all, we're coming into the holiday season where a lot of people like to order things online. And there's been competition in the past, free shipping, free shipping, free shipping. Well, now you may have a minimum amount companies may start to put in where you have to order $100 or $200 or more in order to get the free shipping. So that could be a possibility going into the holiday season for ordering. But maybe it will get people back and brick and mortar stores. You know, people tend to buy more when they're actually in the store and retailers want that. So that may help, actually, holiday shopping in that sense. If you're willing to go into the store, if you're not concerned about COVID. But overall, I would say this is a big deal because it could, again, mean more inflation where the costs go up of products and services and things that people want and they want to buy or people are just going to do without. And they're not going to spend as much on holiday shopping this year, which again will hurt retailers. Nike had earnings last week and the stock fell. It's falling today. Costco had earnings last week and rallied on those earnings. But now today is falling along with the overall market today. Why? This is a disaster this week for as many things are coming up. It's not just the government shutdown.  Eventually, we're going to have a problem paying for all these things that we continue to spend. There's no way that it's not going to affect every single solitary American. I know that the Democrats keep pushing and saying people that only make $400,000 a year or more. But actually, it's going to affect everyone just like rising gas prices have affected everyone and rising food have affected everyone. And speaking of gas prices, natural gas prices also going up around the world and in fact, and there's talk that that could affect heating bills. And we're just now starting our first week of autumn. So with that in mind, we're running out of time real quickly. 40 seconds, as I mentioned, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi saying that number could come down. How much are we talking about that number could come down? And really, where should it be in your opinion? Last 30 seconds to you. I honestly think that whatever comes down will not be enough for the Republicans to get on board. So the question is, are they going to just ram it on through? And the chances that they probably will, they're going to try to act like they're making some kind of compromise. But in the end, I highly doubt that they're going to take out of many of the programs and things that are in this field that are actually increasing the cost. One of them is free education, free college for people. I had to pay for my college tuition. I had to borrow to pay for it. Many people had to. I think some of the stuff that's in the stimulus bill is absolutely nuts. Well, I'd love to know what our viewers think is always that you can chime in. What do you think that number should be on that spending bill? Again, we're talking about two separate things, the infrastructure and the three and a half trillion dollar reconciliation bill that they've been trying to pass for some time, months, in fact. So where do you see that number going? I'd love to know your thoughts. You can always chime in by finding me at Real Morandagon. Hashtag, share your voice.

Our bipartisan panel is going to join us. Robert Botello and Drew Hernandez weighing in. A democratic media outlet, very left-leaning, firing off on the Biden administration. So what is that spell? Because the numbers have been going down. Criticism, when it comes to Afghanistan, immigration, we're going to talk about it next.
