It's not too dirty in here. Actually pretty clean. Monday, today is March 18th and it is the first day back from spring break. I'm super excited to be back. Also, super not looking forward to the amount of work that I had. I think it's gonna be fine. If you guys didn't know, if you don't follow me on Instagram, I was sick with the flu the week before spring break began.  I took Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off. So I had a four day substitute. And I'm pretty sure it was four different substitutes. So I am extremely surprised and shocked to see my room in such good condition. So I'm going to take some time to kind of wander around, check things out. I didn't assign the substitute anything to pressing because I didn't, I don't really give substitutes like teaching materials, but more of like review or fun things. So I wanted to show you guys what I did have my students working on while I was gone. I did a novel study, which you might think, oh, that's funny, a novel study. Well, my lovely teammate gifted me with these books called I Survived, the Shark Attacks of 1916. And I also got a class set of Shark School. So what I had my students working on while I was gone was a novel study. So basically during reading and reading intervention, they worked on reading the novel. And it looks like most of them are not finished with it yet. So that's great. I can finish it in intervention. And I had this cute little packet from who made this? I will have to find out. I forget who made this, but they had this packet and it was just a comprehension packet. And so every day they read a certain amount of chapters and then they worked on the activities in the packet. And a lot of it was like making predictions, working with prefixes and synonyms. So some word work, some grammar. They also had to do some quick writes, find some figurative language examples, stuff with character setting, reflecting on what they read, just things like that. This is the teacher one. So, and it looks like some of them are still working on it. So this will be a great thing for them to finish during reading intervention. But I just thought that a novel study, come on, zoomed in here. But I just figured a novel study would be something fun that they could do that isn't really super detailed on like common core standards. So a substitute would easily be able to accommodate students with this and just act more as like a, act more as a facilitator rather than a teacher. So most of the time that I was gone, my students were kind of working independently. And then I also just assigned them a small chapter in my math, which is our math curriculum. And then I'm going to get my students an opportunity to read a shark school when they're done with their I survived because I have a novel study for that as well. So it's just this from Stephanie Buzzelszowak. I don't know how to pronounce that name. I'm so sorry. But yes, and then I also bought this one, which is by Davey, no, I don't know who this one's by. But just some fun novel studies. I like to do novel studies at the end of the school year. I wanna do more of them during the school year next year during small groups and guided reading. I think that would be more fun. But I like to do them at the end of the year because in the midst of all of the testing review, it's nice to have a book for them to all be reading the same one where they can read for fun and see that, oh, I could finish a book from start to finish. So anyway, that is what I had my substitute doing. I'm gonna look through here, which is pretty much everything that they left for me, just kinda see where they're at. And then we have a field trip tomorrow. So I think we're gonna spend the day kind of like reflecting, reviewing expectations, talking about what's coming up. And then we have a sub, sorry, we have a field trip tomorrow, pretty much the entire morning, which will take up a lot of instruction time. Starting this week on Wednesday and pushing all through next week, we are gonna be doing AZ Merit Test Prep because we start AZ Merit the first week in April, which I think is two weeks away. So very important. But like I said, I am super proud of the way my classroom looks after being gone for four straight days and then having a spring break. It looks like the kids did pretty good taking care of the room. I know that I did get a comment from my teammate about some kind of confusion that they had with math review. I'm not really sure what happened there, but they survived, it'll be fine. I also have grades due this week. So my grade book is pretty much up to date. All I have to do is put in the report card, sorry, I'm trying to find my computer card because my computer's dead. All I have to do is actually fill in the report card matrix, which can take like a minute per student, so it should take me like less than an hour to do. But I'm gonna run up front because I know I have some book orders waiting in the office for me and I'm sure I have a ton of stuff in my mailbox. And yeah, and I'm gonna get the day started. So welcome back from spring break, guys. Hey everybody, welcome back. It's Tuesday morning, March 19th. Today we have a field trip planned for the morning. So I am spending the day because I'm pretty much prepped for the rest of the week. I'm gonna spend today cleaning my room. It's pretty much clean. I kinda spent a little bit of time yesterday cleaning it, but we have an A plus School of Excellence visit tomorrow. Our school has applied to be an A plus School of Excellence. And so we have our visit tomorrow and Thursday. So I wanna just make sure that my room is clean and just, you know, look in its best. It doesn't look too, too bad in here. I would like to take these down and do some sort of like spring art activity, but the problem is that they need to be done before tomorrow morning. So I'm thinking they can do that during intervention. I also want to update my anchor charts and take that one down because it's totally not supposed to be there. And then I also have some vocabulary words that I wanna hang up. So I want to update these with what we're actually doing in class. And then today, when we get back from the field trip, I'm gonna have the kids clean these. So right now we're using the cubbies kind of as like storage. Basically, a lot of my kids have like extra supplies that they wanna use, which is totally fine, but it junks up their desk. So our whole thing is if you have stuff in your desk that is junking it up that you don't use all the time, put it in your book bin in your cubby. And then if you need to use it, you can go pull your book bin and use it. So I think that that might be what I might use the book bins for next year because I'm probably not going to do flexible seating next year. I don't know yet. I might pull some of my tables from storage and ditch some desks, but keep the chairs. Like I'll pull the two taller tables and just keep the chairs there. And then students who need a desk or wanna desk could do that. I'm not sure.  So not a whole lot going on. Yeah, good morning guys. It's Wednesday morning. I'm not gonna vlog today, but I wanted to close this vlog out. We have our A plus visit today and so we are all kind of running around cuckoo. My room is clean. It's ready to go. And the day is gonna be great. Hopefully my kids will behave because the last two days they have been crazy. So my fingers are crossed. But yeah, we're gonna have a great day and I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog and I'll see you in the next one. Bye guys.


The Thoughty Autie podcast. Perhaps understand what you think the benefits of having pets are to specifically autistic people. Maybe not specifically, but if there are some specific ones, maybe mention them, but obviously I can imagine the sort of... I've dropped some big ones for you. Yeah, so I've actually been reading in research in preparation for an upcoming video. I'm sorry to keep tempting this, but this is absolutely super fascinating to me, and it's like a number two question.  So all animals get out of the way, but if you've got cats, dogs, for example, companion animals, how extra value people are on the spectrum gain out of that compared to neurotypicals. That's the first thing. There's a certain... Unfortunately, reading a lot of these studies, there's a lot of... It's called like human replacement or people replacement. And it's a bizarre kind of concept. It's this othering language of, oh, look at Mike over there. He prefers cats to people.  It's not like I want an army of people around me. I'm just going to replace them all with cats. It's not where we're going with it. We get a lot of what we could gain out of social relationships with other humans from companion animals as well. And that's just not mammals, but that can be fish. It can be your bearded dragons and reptiles and things as well. But we get an awful lot out of that. And there's an awful lot of benefits that autistic people can gain from it being a fulfillment of a ritual. So it's really kind of hard to explain, but the act of caring for animals, like you've got like a routine in the morning. So for example, we have a routine for feeding the birds. It involves just chucking them out, load a corn. It's a really simple routine. It's very kind of medieval.  That's them done. And it's like, there is something kind of like really peaceful about that and really kind of like, you know, it's like a life goal, just a bucket of corn and chickens and you just chuck corn out for birds. It's just like, it's very peaceful and it's really rewarding. So it's like, on one hand, it can be hard to actually get yourself into an actual routine, but on the other hand, once you are in it and you have that routine a part of your day, it's kind of like a nice thing. I also think that it's kind of almost a grounding thing. So another example is, I will forget to feed myself, but the cats won't let me forget to feed them. So if the machines are not there for the cats to feed them or they're empty or whatever, they will not let you sleep. They won't let you rest. They will bother you really badly to feed them. And once you're in that zone of like feeding the cats, it's then like, maybe I should make myself a sandwich or like cereal as well. So it reminds you to kickstart other parts of your routine. Yeah, exactly, Thomas. Thank you so much. That's exactly what I'm trying to say. So like the routine that goes along with the animal husbandry does kind of connect in with the routines that you need to follow through as it's a human as well. That makes sense. That's really cool. We also get really good sort of like stimuli value from them as well. So one of them wants to come in. I've got Emma here and Emma's kind of like, she's pretty neuro-spicy. But they're great to see. They feel good, they're purring away. If you're lying down on the bed with like 10 cats on you, it's a fantastic experience. It's like a weighted blanket, a heated blanket and like a stim toy is all in one. So there's kind of that element of it as well. So there's kind of like the physical sensory kind of element. Then there is a flip side as well. Things like litter trays and whatnot. We've got some unique ways to think of managing that. Like how are we doing in the chat, by the way? Yeah, if we're doing good. Maybe we'll read out a couple of things. Renee says, my cat's generally just steel covers or the best part of the pillow. Isabella says, do you have my favourite people doing a podcast? Thank you Isabella. Autistic. I'll answer that one. Where is Mike everyone? Did he say Malaysia? No, my mother's Malaysian. I'm on a place called the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man is a little island in the Irish Sea. It's not just men though, is it? It's not like a... No, no, no. There's a room over here I'm afraid. Oh, I can see a cover. Yeah, so this is Emma and she's at her bowl. But we're on the wrong stream, Emma. This is not the super chat stream. You see, I actually... I'll have to... Sorry, Thomas. It's so good. I actually... For a long time I think it was probably because of my grandma because she has like a really crippling phobia of cats. She has this story of like how one sort of summer day sort of a group of cats sort of cloned in through like a small window in one of her apartments and like stole it like an entire sort of Easter egg or something. And apparently that scarred her for life. She doesn't like cats.  But when I went into Thailand basically like... I think probably about three or four nights a week I'd go to this Taekwondo center. It was this sort of Thai team. Chiang Mai was the place kind of the North Thailand. And after every session I would sort of sit on the mats and do some stretches and stuff. And there was always this one cat that would just come up to me and just like sit between my legs while I was like stretching. And I got chosen by the cat and I was like... I'm trying very very hard not to like it but it's getting more difficult and I kind of got a little bit of a bond with them and I was like maybe I should change my perspective. Yeah, maybe Thomas.  But you have dogs as well. I like them now, I like them now. The dogs and you can kind of stay for the cats. So we've got a few cats. This is Saber. Another one. Yeah, there's quite a few in here at the minute. Let me know if the audio is a problem guys. Daniel says cats get confused around gingers. Cats steal souls but gingers have no souls. It's conundrum. That ginger cat's their one brain. I cannot confirm or deny if this is true. Probably true. I can, well I don't know. It's quite hard to sort of determine if someone has a soul by looking at them but I'd assume that the follicles on someone's head does not determine the encapsulation. What am I trying to say? The containment of a soul. I would say probably. That's a little bit ghostbusters. I would definitely like say for me when it comes to like the benefits of sort of pets. Like as I said I've only really had a dog and it wasn't really looked after by me but my first dog he was from the kennel. He was called Bob. We quite often called him bobby dog of course. He had like a midnight coat, midnight eyes. My parents got him from the kennel like about a year before I was born as a puppy. He was basically my big brother and I think he lived until about the age of about 14, 15. So it was a large part of my life for a long time. And I do remember sort of coming home from days at school and sort of like cuddling with him at the top of the staircase. Yeah I don't know. It's kind of like an unspeakable bond. I don't really know how to describe it very much but it was a big part of my life for a long time. I still haven't really got over it to be honest. I don't think you do and it is actually the worst thing. And sometimes I find myself getting into thought spirals where I'll be like, you know, cuddling onto the cat's presumably and it'll be like imagining like when they're going to die or something. And I'll be stressing myself out about it and it sounds kind of ridiculous and I know it's a human thing but I get pretty sad and then I find myself getting quite sort of anxious and upset about it.  It's like to a degree it's healthy but the next time it's not like an equal sum game of like the amount of joy you get is all got to be repaid with some sadness as well. And it is hard. I completely understand that. In a weird sort of way I said cats and the average human age of that was about 18. So, you know, a long period. I mean, I think I was 35 before I lost my first cat. My first pet. So it was kind of like quite a hard thing to kind of go through and then quite a few in order. I think it definitely does like highlight sort of the fragility of life. Like that was kind of like my first experience with like having it having a death, you know, in an around me rather, which was really hard, of course. I mean, my parents said that it just kind of run off somewhere. But, you know, that's just like what parents say. But it really, I don't know. It kind of, I suppose, prepared me for like the nature of what life is like and, you know, the sort of subtleties of like the value that each day has with somebody or a pet or I remember it hit me quite hard, even though I was quite young. No, especially because you were quite young, I think. And I think it's like, it's quite, I mean, life is difficult and you don't know when, and I don't mean, it's not in a morbid way, but you don't know when the last time you'll speak to someone will be or when the last time you'll see someone. So kind of it is a reminder, it's a very cognizant reminder of kind of taking each day on its own, you know. But yeah, I mean, it's well understood anyway that pets help with anxiety. I know folks from the army that have PTSD service dogs and it's, I worry about them not having the dog anymore, you know, it's kind of like critical need for one. We need to like succession plan these dogs and like encourage them to get another one because their service dogs are getting a bit old. You know, because it gives them so much hope and it gives them so much hope is the wrong term, actually. Relief might be a better one, comfort might be, it's hard to pick the right word. But, you know, it's like, even when they can't care for themselves, they can for their service animal, you know? Yes, yeah. Because that is, I guess, another thing that's talked about a lot when it comes to like autism and pets because you can get autism sort of support, dogs and things that are like I had interviewed on the podcast, I think, probably sometime within season two, we were talking about their service dog Coco, how they help people like meltdowns and stuff like that. I thought that was really interesting. And also to kind of position themselves between you and other people to kind of give you just that space that perhaps you might not be aware of yourself. There's so much to it. A bubble, yeah. And dogs are great at that. That almost comes naturally to them, perhaps even more than perhaps a blind person service dog will be. But I don't, short of the other content creators, I don't know anyone with an autism service animal, but I do know a lot of autistic people with companion animals. Yes, yeah. In fact, I can see from even in this chat, there's quite a few people with like their pets as profile pictures. And I noticed that quite a lot on my live streams. People have also emailed me pictures of their pets. I've got an email inbox full of photographs of people's pets. I encourage people to send pictures of their pets.  And I think it's fantastic. It's a great way to bond with other people. The friends that I have in real life as well, IRL.  Like IRL, you know, like, irregularly geographically nearby. Yeah. I've all come broadly speaking from either my work with Marine and environment stuff or pets. So it's kind of like, like even having pets, kind of things you're closer to other people in a good way. Like if you walk a dog, if I walk Maisie, in fact, she doesn't get walked as much as she should because people want to talk to me all the time. They go, oh, such a cute dog. How old is she? What's her name?  At least it's a script. But it's like, please, I just want to walk my dog. Yeah. I think I think Purple Ella was talking about that too. Like as it being like, it's kind of nice because you get a pass towards people, but also like sometimes you just don't want to, you can't be asked for that.


The real need, I think Secretary Salabrizi would agree that the most urgent need is for remodeling and modernization of urban hospitals. We've done a great deal of community hospital construction in suburban and rural communities. 100 million is the amount we've asked for over the last three years. It seems to me that the case is very weak for going up to 150. Now, I know that that is what Senator Hill wants to do. And he may very well put it in anyway, even if we don't ask for the... I mean, even if we ask just for 100, he may move it up to 150, but in that case, he gets charged for it, not you. How much do we have for budget for it? Well, we had 100 for community hospitals and 50 for modernization and remodeling of urban hospitals. So we had 150 altogether. Now, he puts the whole 150 on the community hospitals and gives us nothing for remodeling. We come out even on the budget, but we have increased the community hospital program by 50 million. You see, he would not give us the modernization authority this year. The legislation gives it to us for starting in 1966 and at a lower level than we requested. So he wants to modernize and put the community hospitals... That's right. It's really a question, Mr. President, of where the need is greatest. And I think everybody who studied it would agree that over the last 10 years, we've done a great deal of construction in suburban and rural areas, and the great need now is in modernizing urban hospitals. That was the case that we made. The committee went along by authorizing a small beginning in 1966, but they authorized nothing in 1965 and they took the money we had in for modernization and put it into the old suburban and rural construction program.


When you live your life without prayer, you're saying to the Holy Spirit, I can live in my own strength and power and wisdom, I don't need you. A day without prayer is a demonstration of pride. A day without prayer is a demonstration of unhealthy self-reliance. He calls us into the secret place. He quickens us and all too often we ignore him. He invites us and many times we push him aside.


Hi and welcome to the session. I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question. Take the data giving the minimum and maximum temperature of various cities given in the beginning of this chapter. Plot a double bar graph using the data and answer the following. Part 1, which city has the largest difference in the minimum and maximum temperature on the given date. Part 2, which is a hotter city and which is a colder city. Part 3, name two cities where maximum temperature of one was less than the minimum temperature of the other. Part 4, name the city which has the least difference between its minimum and the maximum temperature. Now, this is suitable giving the minimum and maximum temperature of various cities given in the beginning of this chapter. And the part, maximum temperature as on 2006 was 38 degree centigrade and minimum 29 degree centigrade. Maximum 37 degree centigrade and minimum 26 degree centigrade. Bangalore 28 degree centigrade, 21 degree centigrade, Chennai 36 degree centigrade and 27 degree centigrade, Delhi 38 degree centigrade and 28 degree centigrade, Japan 39 degree centigrade and 29 degree centigrade, Jammu 41 degree centigrade and 26 degree centigrade, Mumbai 32 degree centigrade and 27 degree centigrade. Now, this is a bar graph using the data. The vertical line shows the temperature of cities and the horizontal line represents the various cities. Scale is 1 unit is equal to 10 degree centigrade. First bar represents the maximum temperature and the second bar represents the minimum temperature. So, let's start the solution part 1. Now, see the bars representing the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature. We see the largest difference is seen between the bar representing the maximum temperature and minimum temperature for the city Jammu. Hence, the answer for part 1 is Jammu. That is, the Jammu has the largest difference in minimum and maximum temperature on the given date. See the bar graph carefully. Now, see the bar representing the maximum temperature. Now, we observe that the bar representing the maximum temperature of the city Jammu is tallest. Hence, Jammu is the hottest city and the bar representing the minimum temperature of Bangalore is smallest. Hence, Bangalore is the coldest city. The answer for the above question is Jammu is the hottest city. Bangalore is the coldest city. This is the answer for part 2. Part 3, see the bars representing the maximum temperature and compare it with the bars with the minimum temperatures of the other cities. We see that the bar representing the maximum temperature of Bangalore is smaller in length to the bar representing the minimum temperature of Jaipur. Similarly, the bar representing the maximum temperature of Bangalore is smaller in length to the bar representing the minimum temperature of Antapar. Hence, the answer for this part is Bangalore and Jaipur. Bangalore, answer for part 3, representing the maximum and minimum temperature of different cities. We see for the city Mumbai, there is a least difference between the bar representing the maximum temperature and minimum temperature. Hence, the answer for part 4 is Mumbai. The question is clear to you. Why I take care?


YouTube, what's up, man? It's W. I'm back with another salary cap gameplay. This is the mode I'm going to be focused on the next couple weeks here. It's the mode. I'm probably going to have to play some tournament games coming up soon for the Philadelphia Eagles club series. I'm currently number one ranked for that on Xbox. And this is the mode I will be focused on. So if you want to watch any of the games that I play live, the link is below to Twitch to my live stream. Also any offensive defense that you find here, you can find on MaddenTurf that you'd like to want to run for yourself and try to move up the leaderboards yourself. Because I know it's getting close to club series time. I know a lot of you guys got to keep trying to grind for the leaderboard to qualify. Playing online tournament for EA is the best experience of man. Make sure you guys can qualify if you can keep grinding, keep going. Comment below on what club you're trying out for if you are trying to try to grind for that club series. Also I'm playing this is Eagles Nation. He was number one on the leaderboards for Madden. He's been playing a lot of Madden and he really loves it. So I got to see what this is. It's probably someone I'm going to have to play down the line. In the Eagles club series, which I needed to win last year was the only live event I didn't make. Got upset in the online elimination by my guy, S. Dello. So I got to make sure I play a little bit better for club series this year. And underneath I get rid of ball fast. If you're going to bliss as many people, I try to get rid of ball as fast as possible. Here I have plenty of time to go ahead and hit my guy, Todd Gurley. Underneath make a couple moves, make a couple people miss. That's why we run him at tight end. There we go. Hit Tyree Kilgir, rid of ball really fast. One thing he was doing good here, he was lurking my tripside. When people do that, I want to max protecting a final post because I know his lurk is on the other side of the field. I don't want to go anywhere near someone's lurk. I don't want to have to wait for it, react to it. Here we go, Todd Gurley. I just got 11 yards on a flat route. That's huge in a game of Madden. And here we go, I get sacked on first and goal. That's a bad sack. Give me second goal on the 12, but you know we got super seven. I've been thinking about getting rid of from Donovan McNabb, but he's just different. Michael Vick is just different. I don't think there's any other quarterback that should be used in this game. He's the fastest one. He makes the most plays and that's why he'd probably be on my team for the rest of the year. And Michael Vick go ahead and got me seven points there. So seven, nothing. I told you guys a million times I would take that over ball a half every time, dictates how I want to play. This guy was running a lot of bunch. I actually let him pop a little base here for a couple yards to almost 20 yards. That's huge. You want to see how I really calmed down base. And then you say, I really shut that down. That's really something that I do a good job of making sure it's not getting put on my field. There go Randy Moss throws a little quick, a little low ball there. Runs another little base, gets a couple yards on this one. Appie trying to knock that ball off from Saquon Barkley, but he goes and gets it. Here he goes, a fade right there. That's how Rick Hill holds on the ball. Aim most. I'm going to need you to make a better play right there. Next play runs verticals. I covered it tight.  Aim most gets nuts put on his head again. But aim most man. I believe in aim most is strong. So he went down the field almost as easy as I did. So that was disappointing. So we're right back where we started. Tie ball game and I fumbled the ball with Tyree kill. Talk about putting yourself in the hole. I mean, that's what's going to happen. Once again, here he goes, goes for another base. Patrick Peterson just holding up. I believe 84 is Cradaro Patterson. Patrick Peterson just mauled him right there. He runs another base. Lawrence Taylor, I have a linebacker made a big play right there blowing that up. Get to a third and 15. I played the sticks here. So my cloud flat will play back a little bit further. Aim most went and got that. Randy Moss is frozen because he didn't know what to do. Get the perfect blocks right there by my man Milton and Patrick Peterson. And no one's catching aim most. OJ Howard is trying. He's fighting, but aim most takes that to the crib. Go from a fumble kickoff. Played the sticks on that third and long. So he thought that sale route was going to be open, but because of the depth of the down and distance, playing the sticks allowed aim most to go ahead and pick that huge player there, flipping the tides. Now he's in a hole. Now let's see what he wants to do. I actually watched Eagles Nation play in my sub tournament for $500 this past weekend. So I know he wants to run past sale a thousand times in a row. Here goes where a little base. I'm hard flat on the left side and Donovan McNabb is trying. He's trying to fight it, but my man Shaq Barrett makes a play there. Once they were sending the dogs, OJ Howard runs over Jalen Ramsey, but Apke and Dawkins are there to make a play. Here goes a little Pat Sale again. He is all day. Barrett eventually breaks free, but his slant comes right back for him. Just nowhere to really do the ball. That was a pretty lucky play he got right there. Here goes another base. I blow it again. The Clownie man and Apke, Pat Pete, everybody in there to make plays. Shaq again. Who was that right there? That's my man Milton. The guy Milton making plays. He was the only playmaker. He throws it to people's faces and makes the catch with Cordero Patterson. Ramsey trying to knock the ball out. So nothing really popping. Here goes another base blown up. I got Darius slaying the slot. Makes a play for me right there. Once again he's running. Oh, tried to hit me over the top, but Dawkins from the free safety from the other side and Pat Pete at corner making play on the ball. Once again here he throws underneath to OJ Howard. We bring him down. Get him to a fourth and inches. What's he going to do on fourth and inches? I cover the drag. I cover the slant. I go back. I want to grab this set and they freeze me and put me in animation and he catches the ball. Nothing pisses me off more than this. If you watch the play I'm lurking everything. Nothing's open. Here we go. I go to get this and they freeze my player and stick me in animation to knock the ball back. OJ Howard catches it.  But at the end of the day, I'm looking back on it. I do have a 20 cap player, Apke, who might not be able to make plays like that, but I thought that should have at least been an incompletion. Once again, he's absolutely boxed here. Nowhere to go. He doesn't get any points before half. Chucks it up. Boom. So it doesn't score there. Even though he caught that pass, it should have been a pick six or at least me getting the ball back, but he called it. Then he turned it into any points. So I'm able to go ahead and kick the ball off to start the second half. It's 14 to seven. Now hold a seven point lead. Having a seven point lead is great because even if, you know, you run commit and he passes or he breaks a million plays and gets a touchdown, worst case scenario, you're in a tie game. So I feel fine on defense. He's running a bunch of the same play everything. Ah, that's Ramsey. That's a hard flag. Man, I need you to go get that. No, I think that might have been a cloud there. Here he goes. He came out in like eye form normal.  He had to come out in eye form. Those are a little wheel route there. Pat Pete and he's just stripped the ball out there for me. Here we go. Nothing for him to do the ball to. I don't know what he's doing. Send the spies out of the pocket. He's going to chuck something out. You do the ball away. Just really containing this bunch. Here goes to another play. I'm covering this slant. I'm covering the slant. Oh, forget it. I'm going to throw it anyway and just doesn't get a pick, doesn't get in completion. I mean, I don't know what he's looking at. I'm just covering the thing the whole way fourth down. He's able to hit me with one on the outside there, the Randy Moss.  And here goes the little curl here.  Finally got the interception I need. Now we got to go ahead and work some clock here and get some points. Any points here will win the game because I'm already up seven points. Stay in the pocket like a man. Throw it up to Randy Moss. Once he started coming out in four six or four down line and cover three every play. That's when I knew it would be a bag over here. Hit the comeback route to Tyree kill. We're just going to pick apart this cover three. There's no pressure on me. Running in here, throw the poster all the way back the other side and Philip Dorsett is just a god. That'll hold him on the ball. I'm going to go on conservative here and I can't spin here or that would have been a touchdown going to milk the clock. This is going to take it to the fourth quarter and we're going to run the ball here. Want to stay in bounds. I want that clock running. That's all I want right now. Run the clock, run the clock, run the clock. I could have should have scored there but I had bad run stick. Got to get an end zone there. Number one. All I care about is the clock right now. I'm cool. We're kicking my field goal. We're on conservative. Got him digging into his timeouts. That's great. That's ideally what you want. I did not score in a stretch there. So I'm going to run back, take another second of the clock. Got him into his timeout. So now he's probably going to need an onside kick if he wants to win this game. 17 to seven. Now he's definitely going to start forcing some passes. I've seen the only player who knows how to run is Pat Sale out of New England. So I've got to make sure he doesn't get a streak up the middle and he doesn't get the post right across the field. I'll let him do drags and slants all day, especially if it's wasting time because I'm up 10 points. So we're just going to, he runs base the first play. That's perfectly fine. You can take 15 yards, even if you get 15, 15 seconds, even if you get 15 yards next play, I'll cover the post. He tries to fit the slant and Jalen Ramsey dives and gets it. That's why you love Ramsey. He's six foot two. So his reach is long. We can dive and we'll get the ball. That's going to make this guy tap out. He's had enough. I really think after his first drive, he really went down the field pretty easily. But after that, I really clamped down and made sure I did not give up any big plays and really forced him to door the ball underneath and he was eventually going to make some mistakes. Stop the running base. If you want to learn how to stop the running base, like I stopped the running dollar, stopped a bunch basing dollar, go ahead, hit the link below for Man Turf. Go ahead and teach you guys how to stop all the runs out of dollar like I do. Also, if you like, I need an offense, I need to talk girly, a tight end, any post routes and other things that we're doing. That's also on Man Turf. Once again, it's salary cap season. We're getting ready for the grind. We're getting ready for these online elimination. So if you want to check out in these games below, the Twitch link is below. Make sure you do it. Please get this video to 200 likes. I have five more salary cap videos better than this one. I'm ready to drop. So once I get to 200, I will drop another one. So I really appreciate all the love you up and give my YouTube. This has been my main focus in Madden 19 to try to grow this. As you see, this is my team here. We got Slay Pat Pete, Dawkins, Amos, Ramsey, Got Clown, he got Lawrence Taylor, got a couple other goons up front. So that was the team I ran that game. My teams are a little bit different now. So make sure you guys tune in. There's Twitch stream.


China's U-2-2 rover, currently exploring the surface of our moon, has exposed an intriguing discovery, a mysterious object that many are labeling the hut. It is a cube-shaped curiosity, which oddly just appears to be resting upon the moon, as if once placed. In previous videos, we have examined similar anomalies many believe to be obelisks. We can visit other people with their habitation. We can keep track. If there's something very important to be developed from the moon, together we can explore the moon and develop the moon. We should go boldly where man has not gone before. Fly by to comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars. There's a monolith. They're a very unusual structure on this little potato-shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours. When people find out about that, they're going to say, who put that there?  A moon, which not only appears to be hollow from one side, but is on a decaying orbit which does not make sense, almost as if it were a ghost of the past, earthly calculations revealing that the moon should have disintegrated into Mars long ago. Yet the moon still exists, along with its mysterious so-called monolith. Yet I digress. The thing that makes these objects so interesting is how they seemingly appear to have once been placed where they have rested for untold millennia. No contact trail, no debris, dust plume, or disturbance at all, and, most importantly, no crater of any form. Unfortunately, however, according to Chinese space officials, it may be a long time before the rover reaches the object, if at all. One major reason is that U-2 too isn't active most of the time. The solar-powered spacecraft cannot operate during the 14.5 Earth-day-long lunar night, nor for roughly 24 hours after sunrise and before sunset. U-2 too also stays offline during lunar noon, as temperatures at that time can reach 127 degrees Celsius. What is this object? Further photographic study and detailed research into its precise location needs to be undertaken. It is an object which we find highly compelling.


Hello everyone, this is the CircuitPython Weekly for August 30th, 2021. This is the time of the week where we get together to talk about all things CircuitPython. My name is Scott, and I work on CircuitPython for Adafruit, and I just realized my headphone cord was zipped into my hoodie. CircuitPython is a version of Python designed to run on tiny computers called microcontrollers. CircuitPython development is primarily sponsored by Adafruit, so if you want to support them and CircuitPython, consider purchasing hardware from Adafruit.com. This meeting is hosted on Adafruit Discord server. You can join any time by going to the URL adafru.it slash Discord. We hold the meeting in the hashtag CircuitPythonDevTextChannel and the CircuitPythonVoiceChannel. This meeting typically happens on Mondays at 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific, except when it coincides with a US holiday. If the meeting time is changed, we'll notify you via Discord. If you wish to be notified about changes to the meeting, we can add you to the at CircuitPythonNisa's Discord role. There's also a calendar available that we try to keep updated if you'd like to subscribe to that. Speaking of which, next week will be on Tuesday and not on Monday, because Monday is a US holiday, so next week applies to this. We'll be meeting on Tuesday, not Monday, I'll say it again. This meeting is recorded. We record the audio from the VoiceChannel and the video of the TextChannel. If you'd rather not have your voice recorded, you're still welcome to participate by adding to the NotesDoc. The video this meeting will be posted to YouTube and the audio is released as a podcast. If you find this podcast is not available on your favorite podcast service, please let us know. There is a NotesDoc to accompany the meeting and recording. If you wish to participate but can't make it to the meeting, you can leave hug reports and status updates for us in the document, and we'll read them off during the meeting. The NotesDoc also contains timestamps to go along with the video, so you use the doc to view only, so you can use the doc to view only the parts of the video that interest you most. The meeting tends to run 60 to 90 minutes, so this gives you the option to skip around. A link to the NotesDoc is posted in the CircuitPython DevChannel on the Adafruit Discord every week. Check the pinned messages to find the latest NotesDoc. This meeting is held in five parts. The first part is community news. This is a look at all things CircuitPython and Python on hardware in the community. It is a preview of our Python on microcontrollers newsletter. The second part is the state of CircuitPython libraries in Blinka. This is a statistical overview of the entire project. It's a chance to look at the project by the numbers separate from what we've all been up to. The third is hug reports. Hug reports is an opportunity to highlight the good things folks are doing, taking the time to recognize the awesome folks in our community. The fourth part is status updates. Status updates is an opportunity to sync up on what we've been up to. Take a couple of minutes and talk about what we've been doing in the last week since the last meeting and what you'll be up to over the next week until the next meeting. The fifth part is in the weeds. In the weeds is an opportunity for more long form discussions. These discussions can come out of status updates to be something you've identified ahead of time as too long for status updates. And that covers how the meeting will go. With that, I will get started with community news. And I will take a time code before I do that. So this is community news. The first item we have on community night, community news, hello Monday morning, is building with circuit Python podcast. The real Python podcast presents building with circuit Python and constraints of Python for microcontrollers with the lead developer of circuit Python with Scott Shockroft at Adafruit. That's myself. You can check it out at realpython.com slash podcasts slash rpp slash 75. And the pitch or the description of this goes, can you make a version of Python that fits within the memory constraints of a microcontroller and have it still feel like Python? That is the intention behind circuit Python. This week on the show, we have Scott Shockroft, who is the project lead for circuit Python. We talk about all things circuit Python while working with the language on several projects. I've developed many of my own questions to ask Scott. Scott answers my questions about bootloaders, packages, the bundle and Bluetooth low energy BLE. He also talks about the struggle of fitting the language and board specific libraries within tiny memory constraints. We just discussed projects and boards for beginners and many resources to learn from, learn more. All right, next up in community news, Linux turns 30. On August 25th, Linux, the ubiquitous operating system turns 30 years old. Dated from a post graduate student, Linus Torvalds posted on the comp.os.minix news group. And there's a link to the Adafruit blog about it. It says, Linux turns 30. This is from ZDNet. Linux turns 30. Linus Torvalds on his just a hobby operating system and interview with Linus Torvalds. All right, next up. Arduino embraces Python. Power of Python for Arduino, Nano, RP2040 Connect and the Nano 33 BLE. It's a link to the Arduino blog, and there's a link to the Adafruit coverage as well. Quote, Python support for three of the hottest Arduino boards out there is now yours through our partnership with Open MV and the Nano RP2040 Connect, Nano 33 BLE and the Nano 33 BLE Sense can now be programmed with a popular micropyton language. Next up, Halloween hack fest. Join Hackaday DigiKey and Adafruit for a Halloween themed contest. They want to see your crazy, creepy, ghostly, spooky and awesome projects. If costumes are your favorite part of Halloween, then why not dress up your outfit with some hacked upgrades? You could even design a ghoulish prop to add to your home's Halloween decor or light up a jack-o'-lantern with LEDs. Whether it's technical, artistic or just plain terrifying, Hackaday wants to see your projects. Check out the Halloween show and tell with Hackaday Friday, October 29th at 1 PM Pacific to show off your awesome projects entered in the contest. Don't forget to also share your projects on social media and use the hashtag Halloween hack fest. Hackaday and DigiKey have partnered on this Halloween themed contest to offer three winners an online shopping spree to the DigiKey warehouse. With links there to Hackaday and Hackaday IO. Next up, 10 beginning Circuit Python education courses. Professor John Gallagher has released 10 new Circuit Python school videos for his fall course. They are tutorials for beginners. The first videos use the Adafruit Circuit Playground, Bluefruit Slash Express. He states the videos are free to share with educators and newbies. Check out the first video on YouTube, which describes the series, and you'll see the whole playlist. And thank you to Fome Guy for putting the links in the Discord chat. Okay, we've were through the news. This all comes as a preview for the newsletter. The Circuit Python Weekly newsletter is a Circuit Python community run newsletter emailed every Tuesday. The complete archives are available at adafruitdaily.com slash category slash Circuit Python. It highlights the latest Python and hard to relate related news from around the web, including Circuit Python, Python and MicroPython developments. To contribute your own news or project, edit next week's draft on GitHub. Go to the github.com slash adafruit slash Circuit Python dash weekly dash newsletter and check the drafts folder there. You can submit and pull requests with the changes, or you may also tweet tag a tweet with hashtag Circuit Python on Twitter or email cpnews at adafruit.com. And that's it for community news. Next up, we have state of Circuit Python libraries in Blinka. This is a statistical overview of the health of the project, and it's broken down by the major components of Circuit Python overall. So overall, I can't type this morning, apparently. I don't know. There it is. Couldn't find my colon. OK. Overall, we had 54 pull requests merged from 19 different authors. So thank you to everybody who contributed. I think all of these names I do recognize previously. Maybe Wormbit is new, so thank you to Wormbit. And thanks to all of our authors. We had 12 reviewers, so thank you to all of our reviewers. You help us support all of these authors, so we really appreciate it. Issues-wise, we had 42 closed issues by 11 people. 21 opened by 16 people, so we're down 21, which is awesome. So those are the stats for overall. For the core, we had 41 pull requests merged from 16 different authors. So thank you, again, to all of our authors and reviewers. We had eight reviewers for those 16 authors. So thank you to all of our reviewers on the core. I think eight reviewers is actually a bit more than we normally have. So that's awesome. We have eight open pull requests as of these stats. The two oldest are 37 and 23 days old, so not too bad. Everything besides that is three days or less. So we're cruising through stuff, which is awesome. We've been making a lot of progress, and I'll talk about that just in just a bit. Issues-wise, for the core, we had 29 closed issues by six people, 14 opened by nine people. So we're net down 15 still, which is awesome. We have 415 open issues. We have six active milestones. The main ones are the main things to note here is that we have five issues not assigned to milestones. So those need to be triaged, and we have four open issues under 7.0.0, which is the ones that we want to close before we do a release candidate. Speaking of which, overall, we're very close to release candidate. We'll do it this week, barring any catastrophic bugs that I cannot fix. So expect to see that. We really want to push to get 7.0 out the door, because 6.3 is aging. There's lots of good fixes in 7.0. So with that, let's kick it over to Katnney for the library update. I didn't even realize you'd gotten through the core. I was writing out my library update. Sorry. I'm cruising. I'm cruising here. You are. So we had, this applies to all the Adafruit Circuit Python libraries. That's everything that starts with Adafruit Underscore Circuit Python Underscore, as well as a few extras such as our cookie cutter and the community bundle.  There were 13 pull requests merged by eight authors and eight reviewers. That's leaving 54 open pull requests. We had 12 issues closed by seven people and five open by five people. So that left us with 340 open issues. In terms of library updates in the last seven days, we had one new library, the ST7565, and a number of updated libraries that I will not read off. If you're interested in contributing to Circuit Python on the Python side of things, go to circuitpython.org slash contributing. You'll find all of this information and more open pull requests, open issues, and library infrastructure issues. Take a look at the open issues list, see if anything strikes you fancy. Leave a comment if you're going to work on it. In terms of reviewing, reviewing is a great way to participate. It's super helpful to us because as Scott stated earlier, the more reviewers we have, the more authors we can support. To start reviewing, take a look at the open PRs. And if you have the hardware, test it. If you don't, feel free to check it for syntax or simply check the code and leave a comment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. And if it looks good to you, let us know. That is super helpful. And it's a great way to get started with reviewing. And once you're comfortable with that, we can look at adding you to our review team. So overall, we're continuing to see new libraries and updates to the libraries being added every week. Something that occurred to me because of the Halloween Hackfest section of the community news was with Hacktoberfest being imminent, I would like to put a call out to folks who are interested in helping us go through the library issues list and labeling good first issues as such as we head into October. When our good friend Adobot automatically adds the Hacktoberfest tag to good first issue labeled issues. As stated earlier, as of this meeting, there are 340 issues to go through. Three are currently labeled as good first issue, but if I remember correctly, they're not really well labeled, so we should consider updating those as well. Further, for those that are familiar with the libraries, it would be greatly appreciated if we could identify issues that haven't been filed that fit the good first issue labeled, docs updates, etc. While this is ostensibly being done under the blanket of Hacktoberfest, it's something I've been trying to do for a long time, so it's worth doing regardless of the reason. Having good first issue labeled issues lowers the barrier for folks who are new to all of this and want to contribute. And right now, we have been woefully lacking in keeping that particular label well applied. So if anybody's interested in helping out with this, it would be super appreciated. I can walk you through what it is that we're looking for in terms of a good first issue and have you go through, because the issues are all on circuitpython.org slash contributing. So it's all aggregated in one place. So yeah, anyway, that's what I've got for library updates. Awesome. Thank you, Hattie. All right. Next up, let's check in with Melissa about Blinka. Hello. So for Blinka, we had not much activity this last week. We had zero pull requests merge. There are currently three open pull requests among all the different repositories. Oh, I forgot to say Blinka is our circuitpython compatibility layer for MicroPython Raspberry Pi and other single board computers. And to continue, we had one closed issue by one person and two open by two people leaving a net of 62 open issues. There were 9,598 pie wheels downloads in last month and we are now up to 76 boards. And that's it. Dave is asking, how did it get the name Blinka? I have no idea, to be honest. It was like that before I started working on it. Yeah, it originated when it was first created to be a layer on top of MicroPython. And I think when Lomar contracted Nick to do that work, she called it Blinka. Okay, I don't know if the snake or the Blinka package came about being named first. I think the snake was named to Blinka before the package. Ah, okay. I'm not entirely sure why we copied the name, but that's the way it goes. Yeah. Alright, that's the history of Blinka. Okay, so thank you, Melissa. And thanks, Dave, for the question. Next up, we have Hug Reports. Hug Reports is a chance for us to say thank you to folks in our community for all of the awesome work they've been doing. I'll go through the folks in the note stock here and we'll, if you say no microtext only I'll read it off for you. Otherwise, I'll expect you to unmute. So I'll go first. So for me, two Hug Reports. One to Jeff Epler for code debugging with me last week. We spent like three intense hours debugging on Thursday and figured out the MAG tag crash. And Hug Reports to David Glad for filing that issue. It's quite the doozy. And then thank you to Ivan IDRR for letting us stag him to talk about the hanging read. We found an address on the ESP32S2 where when we read the address, the microcontroller stops. And then it has to be reset. So thanks to those folks. And let me scroll up. Next up, we have from Ann, Group Hug. And next up is FoamyGuy. Alright, thanks, Scott. First hug is to you and Jeff for collaborating to figure out that bug on the MAG tag. That definitely seemed like quite the doozy. And it was definitely interesting as well to see the explanation of it on deep dive also. Next up to the GitHub user, Aris Bone, for creating a test script that tries out various sizes of the gauge widget. And it tries to find which ones, if any, suffer from a bug that's relating to the way that it gets filled in. And then lastly, I just have a group hug for everybody. Thanks. Thanks, FoamyGuy. Alright, next up is Jerry. Hi. Yeah, thanks to Brent and I'm not sure who else is involved in all the development work on the Whippersnapper project. It's been fun to play with. Yeah, I think Lauren is the other person. L-O-R-E-N is also working on that a lot too. Thanks. Alright, next up is Katnie. Alright, so my first hug report is to Jeff for a lovely chat next week ahead of him being out for a bit. To Dave P for helping me with cleaning up an image in Photoshop. That was last week I put, it was a shot in the dark and I had a cleaned up image back before the end of the meeting. That was excellent. So FoamyGuy for adding divider lines to grid layout in the display IO layout library. I will be testing that this week. To Naradoc for helping me improve my audio PIN script and therefore once I update the rest of them all of my PIN finding scripts to better exclude unexposed PIN names. And to Keith the EE for joining the Circuit Python Helpers role on Discord and for working towards joining the Circuit Python library and review team. Awesome. Thank you, Katnie. Next up we have text from Keith the EE who says a hug report to Katnie for helping me figure out the Circuit Python Helpers role as well as the other helpers for answering my questions. Hug report to Jeff and Scott for figuring out the ESP32-S2 bug, the fix works on my Metro ESP32-S2 and everyone for being awesome and helping me with random questions. Next up is Maker Melissa. Hello, I just had a group hug for everyone and that's it. Awesome. Thanks, Melissa. And last up we have notes from Naradoc who says hug report to ask Patrick W for digging into and merging circuit PRs. Hug report to Dee Griswold on GitHub for circuit PRs and everyone fixing bugs as 7.0 is approaching. And that's it for hug reports. Next up is status updates. And I should have said that this is done as around Robin but we're practiced to have had it. This is a chance for us to spend a minute or two talking about what we were working on in the previous week and what we plan on working on in the coming week. And as I did in hug reports, I will start and then we'll go through the list. So I spent most of last week bug hunting including the mag tag watchdog timer crash. Also tweaked the BLE API to recursively delete and not reload immediately after right. So that's checked in. This week I'll be bug hunting if anything came up over the weekend. The release candidate and then release the release candidate this week hopefully. I've got a look at the BLE UART example slash code that break with the Nordic UART service and circuit Python. My plan is to actually change the circuit Python workflow to not present as an Nordic UART service. That'll be helpful because then we'll be able to have other characteristics for reading like the board name and the version number, for example. So that'll give us more flexibility in the long run. Antonio is back from vacation starting tomorrow. So I'm going to check in with them and work on the app side of things in particular glider. And if I get through all that, I next on my list is I really want to play around with Raspberry Pi tiny USB support as a prerequisite for supporting circuit Python bare metal on the Raspberry Pis. So that we can get display IO on TVs. So those are what I am looking at doing this week. Next up we have notes from Ann. Ann says besides the Python on microcontrollers newsletter, I'm using the new Adafruit macro pad to make a a random digit generator keypad similar to the Hirsch scramble pad high security system. I demonstrated the project on show and tell and I should have a guide finished by Wednesday. Next up is foamy guy. Alright, last week I updated the learn guide code for all the ones using pulse out or all the ones that we can update so far to use the new API. I made a repo in circuit Python org for the gauge widget. And while I was working on some examples, I noticed an issue with that so started debugging it. I finished up a PR that I started a few weeks back adding a new feature to the grid layout that lets you make divider lines between all of the content cells very easily. So that's cool. And then this week I am going to keep going trying to figure out the grid issue, see if we can find a way to fill it that does not have the same problem. And then the other thing I want to work on this week is an update in cookie cutter to add a third option for the bundles right now. There's just two options for the bundles and then based on some other inputs it kind of defaults to a different bundle. So we'll make that choice more clear so that all three of them are there. And that's what I got. Thanks. Thanks foamy guy. Alright, next up is Jerry. Hi, thanks. Let's see. So I've been playing around a lot last week with these with the only 2640 camera still on the ESP 32 s to sell the board. And they made an example copy Jeff's example over and converted it from to do the webcam it's been working but there's always been this little glitch. Where sometimes it throws an extra bite in so I made a really crude work around that's been great. And it actually is very stable now because they just if the extra bit is there it's thrown away, but it's not a long term fix still trying to dig through the the actual code and see if we understand where that bites coming from but not yet. And then also spent a fair amount of time playing with brain craft hat.  Every time the kernel updates on Raspberry Pi, there's a chance they break the F, F BCP module. And so it had been pinned back to a pretty old kernel from last year. And so played around some of the new ones and found that you can upgrade to a newer kernel. That's the latest one that works. I'm still trying to understand why that is, but at least some progress. And then there was a forum post where somebody ran to this funny issue where they were using an RFM nine X feather wing on an RF 52 840 board and work great under USB power, but wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't find the RFM nine X board under battery power. And they traced it down and found out it's because of the SPI M device that the thing defaults to on the first SPI device. For some reason that one won't run under battery power. But if you create a dummy SPI device first, and then connect up so it picks the second one, it works fine. So really puzzled by that and I'll look into it more. I don't know if it's something you want to discuss in the weeds or if it belongs here or not or at this point, we can discuss in the weeds. That's fine. Okay, so I don't really have any ideas, but I'll describe it a little more than right. Thanks, Jerry. Next up is cat knee. All right, so last week, I published the CD for X guide and tested the CD 41 thoroughly on circuit python and raspberry pi. I don't normally test this thoroughly but somebody reported in the forums. Not long before I started this guide that the CD 30 was failing on their raspberry pi. It was long since determined there's something else going on there. But I also tested the CD 30 on raspberry pi and finally stopped after 60 hours of it running smoothly. They reported it was typically failing within an hour, eight hours at the longest. So my concern was that I had published the CD 30 guide with raspberry pi instructions. And if those were incorrect, I needed to update that they're not incorrect. It turns out it's fine. There's something else going on. So FYI, if you're looking for, you know, CO2 sensors, both the CD 30 and the CD 40 and 41 are excellent choices for Arduino circuit python and raspberry pi. I put the MP3 playback on RP 2040 guide in moderation. Much noise was made in the process. The circuit python essentials MP3 template was completed as part of this guide. I wrote a script to return a list of audio capable pins now with improved pin exclusion and tested the IS 31 FL 3741 LED matrix breakout. Happy rainbows abound. Also, they seriously need to shorten that part number. So this week for you, Scott, I'll provide any reviews needed for getting 7.0 into RC and stable. Test the grid layout PR from foamy guy with the project that sparked the feature request in the first place. It's my little GitHub phrases macro pad. I needed dividing lines. And so ideally, that'll work well for that. I need to get video for the MP3 guide. That's the final piece of publishing that guide is to get video of the MP3, what the MP3 sounds like when it plays so that folks know. Following that, I'll be doing the INA 219 stem and QT rev guide update. That version of that board came out a long time ago, but managed to miss us updating the guide. This is not the case anymore, but actually I need to write the guide for the IS 31 FL 3741. And then once the MP3 guide is published, put together a quick guide for the PAM 8302 breakout, which is a speaker amplifier. And the reason we're waiting on the MP3 guide is that the Pico example in the MP3 guide is going to get mirrored into that as the example. So I'm not duplicating work as well. I need to find out what might be required to port the OBS timestamp code from Linux to Mac OS and Windows to decide whether it's worth doing as a project. Because I don't think it's I don't feel like it's worth writing a guide if we only have it working on one operating system. It shouldn't be too bad, but it's a little outside my wheelhouse, so I will be asking for help there. And then somebody requested a fristing object for one of our parts. And so I need to do that eventually. This past weekend, I avoided working on something I should have been doing. Secret project, I'll explain it when I can, which led me to begin organizing parts. That's how badly I was trying to avoid doing what I was supposed to be doing. I stopped after a bit because it's work and I should be doing it during work, but it was still nice to get started. I've decided on if I touch it, it gets organized approach to it in general, which if that's all I do will take almost literally forever to get everything organized. But at the rate I've been going, which is none, this approach will at least be a start. It's also leading to slowly filling up my desk because if I don't have time to put it somewhere labeled it stays on my desk, I swear I'll get to it soon. That said, I'm curious, for those of you who do organize your microcontrollers and components, how do you organize them? And not so much what kind of containers you use as much as how do you categorize them? If you have any kind of systems, let me know because I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want to organize everything. And that's my update. Awesome. Thank you, Katney. I feel your pain organizing stuff. For sure. Next up is maker Melissa. Hello. First of all, in response to Katney, I actually organized my boards by the form factor. But anyway, last week I worked on a new circuit Python code editor interface. And this week I'm working on wrapping that up. And then I can take a look at the Raspberry Pi kernel pending at some point. And after that I'll start a new TFT product guide. And that's it for me. Awesome. Thank you, Melissa. And last up is Neradoc. No mic. Okay. So, notes from Neradoc. Last week, PR to have the board ID available in code and in bootout.txt. Progress made on generating keyboard layouts for Adafruit HID from platform layouts. Windows using keyboard layout.info. Make your layout with neradoc.me slash layouts and test it. I discovered last week's at network Chuck video on bad USBs, which explains why at least five people came asking for layouts for the Pico ducky this week. And this week PR to circuit to use the board ID, the link to the board's downloads page to update circuit Python. Add some of the generated layouts to the layout repo. For now I prefer adding them as they are requested to have a minimum of testing for each. Look into a way to somewhat automate the tests to layouts and looking for a good source of Mac layout data and implement the generator. That's it from Neradoc. Alright, and that is also the last of status updates. So, we'll go to our final section in the weeds, which is a chance for us to have any longer form discussion about any topics. And we have one topic this week from Jerry, which we previewed a bit earlier. So, take it away Jerry and give us more info. Yeah, so, so this, what the user found was that it, you know, when you plug into this RFM 9x feather wing on the NR52840 and he tried to use battery power, it would just not, it would not find the device, the SPI interface that when you power up the, or try to initialize the RFM 9x, it does a little sanity check which goes to read a region of version register and it would fail. But it would work fine under USB. In fact, he found it would if he powered the battery, if he bypassed the battery, put the battery voltage into the USB, it also worked. So, it's just, it's not a power issue. It doesn't look like. Well, I don't know. So, then what he found was that if you look at the code in the RFM 9x and in the SPI, I'm sorry, in the core for the NR52840, it has these SPIM devices and for the NR52840, there's a SPIM3 is enabled and it's the first one chosen. And the difference between it and the other two is that it defaults to a maximum bond rate of 32 megabits. But we're only using the initialization for the RFM is only at five megabits per second, so it's not clear why that would matter. And something different, but that one fails. So, he tried and found what works is if you create a dummy SPI instance, just pick some pins and generate an SPI instance and ignore it and then generate the one on the other one you want using the main, the board SPI devices, pins, it all works fine because it bypasses that SPIM3 even goes to one of the other ones. So, that's about all I know. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And I know there were some issues with this SPIM3 that Dan worked on a long time ago. So, there may be something lurking in there. So, just trying to get some clues as to, you know, how to troubleshoot it and what to look at. So, what board is this? This is the NRF 52840 Feather Express. And if you put the battery power in through the USB, it works? I believe that he tried that and it's putting only like 4.2 volts and I think that was just a test to see if it was something to do with the regulator coming through the charger. It doesn't seem to be the problem. Well, it's not clear, it might be. I looked at the schematics on it and I can't, the only, there is one resistor size that's different on the 52840 from the Feather Express, I mean from the M4, and I'm trying to remember it was on the Enable line. The pole up or pole down on the Enable is a little different. It's not clear to me why that would matter. Again, in fact it works if you switch SPIMs. It all works. Makes me think it's not a power issue. Yeah, I would be curious to see if you could replicate it on a separate board. Yeah, well it doesn't happen for sure on the M4 or on an ESP32. I've been using those with batteries for a long time. Yeah, I guess I mean a different NRF board. I should be specific. Yeah, he tried it on both the Express and on the Sense and they both failed the same way. Yeah, they're super similar though, like maybe even like on one of Nordics boards would be interesting. That's a good idea, that's a good thing to try. I tried using a breakout board instead of the Feather Wing and that made no difference, they both paid the same. Yeah, I mean I know SPIM3 has had specific issues. Right. I would be curious to see a salient trace of the SPIMus. Okay, that's a few things to do. Alright, some ideas to play with and it's just a puzzle but luckily there's a clean workaround that is good for now. And I haven't tried any other SPI devices either. That's the other thing I guess to try. Because, and again I'm just amazed it hasn't come up before but I guess that people try to run it on the battery. Right. So it's, I know I've used the NRF 52840s with radios a lot but I've never run it on the battery before. Have you tried slower than the 5 megahertz clock rate as well? I have not.  So just wanted to bring everyone's attention, it's kind of a funky bug. Yeah, it definitely smells funky. I don't think it's a high priority for me. No, absolutely not. There is an issue out there for it. But yeah, I definitely put it on a long milestone. But yeah, it is interesting. Yeah. And in fact, I think I did want to do a project with that because the RFM 9x is the Laura radio, right? Right. Yeah. I haven't tried that. I also should try it with an RFM69 to see if it behaves the same way. I suspect it will. But these are all things to try out. Yeah, it'd be interesting. I briefly wanted to do, and I think Dylan, she was looking at this combination of things recently too. Okay. Maybe it was something else. It was something else. It was a Laura something that she was doing. I should try it with a xenon, a particle board. Yeah. Yeah, that would be easy to test and that would give you an idea. I've used them with the radios before, but never. Yeah. See, they'll have different power circuitry. The Feather NRF and the Feather NRF sense are like, we'll more design the express and then just remove the SWD and plot in the sensors for the sense. They're going to be very similar. Right. Okay. That's a good thing to try. Cool. I'll be curious to hear what the conclusion of that is. But I'm glad there's a workaround as well. Yeah. All right. I'm going to wrap up. Thanks, Jerry. Yep. All right. So this has been the Circuit Python Weekly. I'm scrolling down for August 30th, 2021. Thanks to everyone who participated.
