I have not gone to the first slide so far. What it establishes? It establishes principles for reporting financial information about different types of products and services an enterprise produces and different geographical areas in which the enterprise operates to help the users of financial statements in better understanding to the performance of the enterprise as I gave you the example of without naming again Tobacco and the other products you can understand the performance of the enterprise where we are actually performing better and where we are not performing at all better assessment of the risks and returns of the enterprise if Tobacco goes off I am at a real risk of really closing down my business and making more informed judgments about the enterprise as a whole very frankly today even if you go to a bank for the loans they want this information from you know please produce the segmental information as to which of your segments is making profit and which of the segments is not making profits now if you look at the Bajaj itself Bajaj has the insurance Bajaj has the three wheeler also Bajaj has two wheeler also now three wheeler and two wheeler are two different segments all together if you ask me there is no doubt and insurance is a different segment altogether because these are different lines of business from that angle and these are applied in presenting general purpose financial statements general purpose financial statements mean when you prepare a profit and loss account and a balance sheet and a cash flow statement then you prepare this information but if you prepare some specific information like CMA data you have to give to the bank then you will not be applying the segmental information from that angle but whenever you prepare only balance sheet and profit and loss account in that particular case you will be preparing the segmental information wherever it is applicable or where the management wants to apply it even if it is not applicable but management wants that the segmental information to be generated the management can say okay generate the segmental information in the case of a single financial report contains now this is the important part now if of course in educational institutions I do not think that could be a situation but in the companies what happens is of course now in the private sector educational educational institutions this can also be one of the conditions I create a subsidiary in which I invest more than 51% of my capital or I control their composition of the governing body in that particular case if I am preparing both the standalone financial statements as well as the consolidated financial statement then the segmental information has to be prepared based upon the consolidated financial statements both of the of the subsidiary as well as the holding company not mandatory for small and medium sized and companies that I have already told you because it is applicable only to the level 1 organizations the standard defines the following terms business segment geographical segment reportable segment enterprise revenue segment revenue segment expense segment results segment assets segment liabilities now this you can read out and if you read out this and dissect it you will be able to know what does it mean it says business segment it is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing an individual product or service or a group of related products or services that is subject to now group of related products or services that is you are into the science education also and you are into the commerce education also it is a group of related products that is subject to risks and return that are different from those of the other business segments if the risks and returns are the same it is a single segment if the risks and returns are different then these are different business segments factors for consideration of the business segment nature of the product or services which I said to begin with nature of the product processes how you really proceed with that how do you produce that how you render that particular service that is very important type or class of customers of the product or services now if you are running normal courses a student comes to you but if you are running NDP courses in that case these are the already employed people who are coming to you the corporate people are coming to you so these are absolutely different class of customers or for the products or services which are coming to you methods used to distribute the products or provide the services if you have different channels of distribution suppose you outsource a particular activity in an in the other case you do it yourself you are running certain schools yourself and in the other case you have given it for franchises it does happen in the private institutions schools as well as universities that in certain cases you run it yourself and in the other case you run it through the franchisee whatever you are running through the franchisee is a different segment altogether to you because there you don't have any risk whatsoever because it is the risk of the franchisee he is your bound to get your money without a doubt so that that will be absolutely a different different kind of a segment geographical segment it is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment providing products or services within a particular economic environment what kind of economic environment as I said Russian block is different from your Europe block for that matter so that's very important economic environment is very important subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the components operating in another economic requirement and environments if the economic environment is the same absolutely not an issue within India I am my factory in Mumbai I am my factory in Delhi I may have two different geographical locations but I will not say that these are two different geographical segments but if I have one factory in India and the other factory in Libya or Iraq or Iran or Dubai in that particular case it will be considered to be two different geographical segments that's the point one is trying to make out and that is why I said that wherever universities are having certain offices abroad and you are running courses there all together there it becomes a different geographical segment all together factors to be considered similarity of economic and political conditions relationships between operations and different geographical areas proximity of operations if I am running within Gurgaw three different units at three different places in Gurgaw and it still is very much there is a proximity of the operation and it will still be considered to be one geographical segment rather than getting into too many special risks associated with the operations in a particular area yes people have been talking about it that if I have to run an operation in places like northeast at there were times probably it could be considered to be a different geographical segment all together because the situations are all together different rather than when I compare it while I am running that particular operation from daily for that matter but generally when you are within the same country you don't treat it that way but yes if you go abroad and then you are running it in that case it will become a different geographical segment and the underlying currency risks when I compare my parity with the Pakistan currency it is different when I compare it with Nepalese currency it is different when I compare it with US dollar it is different when I do it with the pound it is different pound it is different so that's very very important so that is where when I said when I am exporting it to Europe and when I am exporting it to US there could be two different geographical locations because of the currency risks involved in the two geographical locations for that reason management always has to find out what is my primary segment and what is my secondary segment when I talk of the primary segment what I am trying to say is whether my business segment is my primary segment or geographical segment is my primary segment please be with me on this particular point and I am just leaving it to you what can happen is because management wants to know this and believe me it is not for the auditor to challenge it it is for the management to say which is their primary segment and there can be situations where they say that to us both these segments have the same importance the geographical segment as well as the business segment but generally what happens is where the management does not lay down that kind of a matrix we always treat business segment to be the primary segment and geographical segment becomes the secondary segment but in the case of an exporter generally it is the geographical segment which becomes the primary segment if you ask me today all those people who are exporting particularly in the last one and a half year when the rupee we always treat rupee falling to be bad but you go to an exporter he says that he's making marry if you ask an exporter today he wants third front to come in because then the rupee can touch 70 he does not want the other government to comment because his benefit lies in because if he exports something if he exports something for a dollar what he will realize tomorrow may be 65 maybe said 66 maybe 67 if the third front comes in but yesterday itself the rupee has improved to 59.46 or whatever if which is the best possible thing to happen in the last few days exporters are very unhappy because from the exporter's angle the more the export and the more the crunch there is a volatility in the currency and in if the Indian currency keeps falling they stand to gain but if you ask an importer he says third front will be a disaster they don't want it similarly if you have a university abroad and you know that you can earn in the dollars there and then the remittance can come in India you will say that this situation should prevail because you will have the fee received abroad and when you remit it in India you will have it in dollars then geographical segment come becomes your primary segment generally it is the business segment which should be your primary segment and not the geographical segment which should be your primary segment so what it says is risks and returns are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services that produces if the main risks and returns are rising on account of the products and services in your case it is the product which will create the risk so into my mind if you ask me in all your cases that is the business segment which is going to be your primary segment and not the geographical segment unless you have the universities abroad somewhere unless you have educational institutions abroad somewhere unless you have given franchises to someone abroad there your receipts in India are lesser but from the receipts from your franchise they are going to be more in that case geographical segment will assume greater significance in your case than anything else and of course it says primary format business segment secondary format geographically internal organization and management structure of an enterprise and its system of internal financial reporting to the board of directors and CEO should be the basis for identifying the predominant source and nature of risk and differing rates of returns facing I leave this answer to you all together within your all organizations your management must be asking for some kind of information that what is the profitability of this mdp program what is the profitability of mcom program what is the profitability of the science program so all these so what is going to be your primary segment the product so business segment will become your primary segment for that matter and it is always we leave it to the management to decide we will not step in as charted accountants as auditors will we don't have to step in we will always be guided by the management because it is the management risk perception which is more important than anyone else's if the management feels that they will like to continue or discontinue or reform one of the business segments I think it is up to them and they must identify how to go about it and that is why to us then in that particular case the business segment will be a primary segment in those circumstances what is the significance of that to that I will come little later risks and returns are affected prime predominantly by the fact that it operates in different countries I think this is the point which I have already said I need not repeat it risks and returns are strongly affected both by the differences in the products and services and by differences in geographical areas in which it operates in that particular case where the risks and returns are strong in both the cases you will adopt business segment as the primary segment that is what I said a few minutes back reportable segment you see we all have been talking about segments now which segment is to be reported and which segment is not to be reported after all within your own segments there could be certain segments whether mdp needs to be reported or need not be reported separately there is a yardstick for this there are three yardsticks there are three options whenever you want to determine the reportable segment you have to apply three tests number one the test is whether this particular business segment say you are trying to judge your regular courses as a business compared to the mdp courses now whether this particular one this particular segment constitutes 10 percent of the total revenue external as well as internal what is internal it is very much possible that there is a case of transfer pricing which may not happen in your case I am very clear about it it will not happen in educational institutions but in the case of companies it happens I transfer my work in progress to some other department and there I charge the revenue so there this internal revenue also becomes a segmental revenue if the total if this constitutes 10 percent just one minute sir if my revenue from a particular segment is 10 percent or more of the total revenue that I have generated both to the external parties as well as internally in that case it becomes a reportable segment or if this is not satisfied then I go to whether this particular segment takes up 10 percent of my total assets or not whatever is the total amount of assets whether it accounts for my 10 percent of the assets or not if it accounts for more than 10 percent of the assets in that case also it will be accounted for but the third one is the most difficult as a part of the segment result segment result means loss or profit on account of a particular segment but that's not very important what is important to be understood is see I am not comparing apples with apples here I am comparing even apples with oranges suppose in the case of one there is a profit of say 100 in a particular segment now if other segments together give me either a loss of 1000 or either it is profit or it is a loss there could be certain segments which give me profit there could be certain segments which give me a loss okay now combined of the loss making or combined of the profit making if this particular segment constitutes 10 percent not necessarily of the profit making or loss making I may be making profit but there is another there are two more segments which are making losses but if my profit constitutes more than 10 percent of the losses combined being made by the others still it will become a reportable segment that's the point I'm trying to drive you home so that is why I said I'm not comparing apples with apples I'm comparing apples with oranges also in this particular case so what you have to remember is that if any of the three conditions is satisfied suppose your MDP program does not give you the turnover does not require the assets but if I look at the net result at the end of the period I find that MDP gives me a total profit of say 1000 and this particular segment gives me only say 50 then it does not constitute even 10 percent of that and if it does not constitute 10 percent of that then it is not a reportable segment but the MDP program becomes a reportable segment if and it will happen in many cases I can tell you that because generally MDP programs and specialized programs are all profit making programs compared to the others and they may constitute more than 10 percent of the they may not satisfy the criteria of the turnover they may not satisfy the criteria of the assets but they are likely to satisfy the criteria of 10 percent of the segmental result whether profit or loss that they will satisfy and that is why they will become a reportable segment so this part you have to be very clear about yes more than 50 departments and some departments are having very less students some some departments having more students means fee generation is different for the different departments it means we can go for the segmental reporting again I am saying one thing I am not going by the normal students at all no it's ultimately it's a resulting to the fee generation no no please try to appreciate that is my total you seen if you do not have the MDPs if you do not have the specialized courses then you have only single segment then you need not be worried about then you don't have to find out the reportable segment when you will be required to find out the reportable segment you will be required to find out the reportable segment when you are running MDPs you are running PHD you are running probably the specialized courses only then you will be required to do this. If you are running Mcom, Vcom or the other run-of-the-mail courses, you don't want to, you should not get into this particular part. You should say that you are a single segmental educational institution. Sir, in case we go for the segmental reporting even though, what is the harm in it? Why do you want to do that? Just to understand. You just generate your internal information. You need not get into this particular part at all. That's the point I am trying to advocate. You see, otherwise there is no end. Otherwise, every class, first year should be a different segment, second year should be a different segment, third year should be a different segment. I don't want that to happen. I am trying to make your life easier. I am saying that in your case, only when you run PhD programs, when you run MDP programs, when you run specialized courses, then try to get into the reportable segments or when you are having certain universities abroad, you are accredited institutions abroad, then you start looking at it, whether there are reportable segments or not. Otherwise, there is no need to look at it. That's the way I look at it. Anyone else? If university, sir, if university having two campuses, two campuses at different locations, then will it be considered as a separate segment? Geographical segment can be there, but not business segment. What will happen is that business segment is your primary segment and geographical segment will be your secondary segment and that geographical segment information you provide.  Of course, we have campuses, but that is not a primary segmentation. You will have more questions at that time. Yes, I understand. Probably not right now. We have understood your earlier. And whatever is not a reportable segment is the residual part. And what you have to ensure one thing very clearly is what I said to begin with was that one is your segmental revenue from the external customer, whatever you get from the students. Suppose you are charging even to the other departments certain revenue. Now, that is your internal revenue, basically. For the purpose of determining reportable segments, you consider that. But what you have to ensure is that when you come to the reporting of the segmental information, 70, you have to make, you have to report the segmental information in a manner that 75% of the external customer revenue is reported. Why I am saying so? Please, there is a possibility because I am talking of 10%. And I am also talking of, you have to minimum make sure that 75% of the external customer revenue is to be reported. Now, suppose you have three of the segments. Now, in two segments, what happens is one segment constitutes 15%. One constitutes say 55%. Now, if this constitutes 15% of the external customer revenue and this constitutes 55% of the external customer revenue, you are stopping at 70%.  You should not be bothered about the 10% threshold in that case. You go down to the next one where it may be 7% or 8% or 9% and add that also and show that also as a reportable segment. Because ultimately what you have to make sure is that 75% of the segments have to be reported in a manner that whatever you receive from the external customers, that's for your students, you report at least those segments where 75% of such revenue is reported. You cannot report less than in the reportable segment less than 75% of the external customer revenue under any circumstances. So whatever you have got from the students, whatever way it has come to you or from the MDP programs, you should bring it in a manner that at least 75% of whatever has been received by you from them is being reported. And the rest, say 23% whatever is left, you can say it is the residual one. So far as the 75% is concerned, you will say this A segment, B segment, C segment by name, MDP, specialized courses or something else. The rest you can say residual courses or residual. And what you have to make sure is that if in profit and loss account, please try to be with me on this point, if in profit and loss account the turnover is say 100. In the reporting also it should be 100 only, it should not be 98 or 101. We have seen certain financial statements where people have committed this mistake. What can happen is that you only report say 78% plus 22% of the residual, but you have to be very clear that whatever has been reported there in the profit and loss account, in your case it will be income and expenditure account. Whatever has been reported in the income and expenditure account, the same turnover is reported here also. There should be no difference. And when we talk of the reportable segment, it talks of segmental assets also. It talks of segmental revenue also. It talks of segmental results. Segmental result is the net profit, if you ask me. But segmental asset or segmental liability is what? Any asset which is directly used in a segment, that is my asset. Any asset which can be reasonably allocated to me, that becomes my asset. And then suppose I am also receiving income by way of interest or dividend. I will not include that. Generally I don't include the income, the deposits with the banks or the investments with the various bodies as the segmental asset. I never do that if you ask me. I never include it unless my segment is such and which is not applicable to an educational institution. Let me be very clear. I will not include that asset until I have only financial activity. If I have only financial activity, in that case the income will also be included. I do not include in the segmental revenue the interest income and the dividend income. Unless I am a company, I am an enterprise which is dealing purely in the financial activity. And if I do not include income, I cannot include the asset also. You will agree with me one thing very clearly. If I do not include income, I will not include the asset also. And if I do not include the asset, I will not include the income also because the results have to be derived from there. So, this part you have to be very, very clear. Similarly, the segmental liability, deferred tax asset I will never include. I think you have done deferred tax asset so far or not? Have you standard AS 22? No. No. Deferred tax asset. Deferred tax asset is never treated as a part of the segmental asset. Similarly, deferred tax liability is never treated as a part of the segmental liability. So, this part you should be very, very clear of. Now, suppose you include something as a segment. In that case, whatever is payable in respect of that segment directly, that will be considered to be a part of the segmental liability. But at the same time, it is very much possible that you have to pay something which is indirect, not directly in respect of this particular segment. So, that will also be included as a part of the segmental liability. So, this particular part you should be very, very clear of, clear about. I can only say when you go back and you apply the standard, only then you will come to know what all is to be done. But please go through the definitions of segmental asset, segmental liability, segmental revenue, segmental result. Please go through these definitions and then try to apply it. But if you have any questions, I am willing to answer it out. You were trying to ask a question. The sponsor projects, separate sponsor projects that and we charge 50 percent overhead charges on that. And that can be treated as a segmental liability. If you want to treat it as a separate segment, you can. There is no doubt about it. In any government sector, in any institute, or in any private sector, in any institute, it has already been done. It has been shown in the reporting. Can we see the live example of this, whether we have this? So, you are trying to ask the question whether any of the institutions has done it or not done it. That is your question. That is the question. I can only tell you the year I was the president, the chairman of the institute. I was the one to go to Mr. Kapil Sibble and say that you need to implement the accounting standards to the various educational institutions. And I must compliment him. He took no time to call the secretary and said that I personally feel that it needs to be done because that will improve the corporate governance. If you ask me on their own, no institution would do it. It is clear about it. It is only when these standards will become mandatory and these standards are bound to become mandatory and you will not be listed in any case. But these will become mandatory on account of this 50 crore part or because of the 10 crore borrowing if at all anyone has taken from the banks or financial institutions. So, when this is going to happen, in that case these disclosures will start coming. I will be sure about it. But if to say today if you ask me I will be really hard pressed to tell you the names of any of the educational institutions which have done it. I don't think that I have many names to really give you out. Not even few of the names to give you out in respect they are off. But yes, there are certain private universities if you ask me who are doing who are showing it different geographical locations as the primary segments. Because that is what is happening in their cases and that is what is to be encouraged further even in the educational institutions which are more government oriented. Sir, this segment reporting is entirely with the presumption that the performance of the universities are measured based on profitability. It is not profitable, it can be like that to take decisions. Profitability I can find out from the income and expenditure account. Segment wise. It is not with regard to the overall profitability. It is with regard to the segmental profitability. Segment wise performance are measured in terms of profitability. There is no doubt about it. Are measured in terms of profitability whereas the purpose is enhancing the knowledge and it is somewhat abstract. Which cannot be easily measured. For example, some segment wise report shows that it is less in terms of revenue whereas it would have resulted in more publications, research, patents, etc. Without that, partially giving only the financial data about a particular segment may vise the picture, I feel. Moreover, in the selection of reportable segment also we are only taking financial factors. But I feel some physical factors like number of students, publications, faculty, etc. may be considered. Because as such, applying the financial performance I think is some two higher educational institutions. The objective of them which are entirely different I think is somewhat without modification applying this segment, this particular segment may not hold good, I feel. Whereas I may agree with you partly, not entirely. What you are trying to say is that this standard does not take into consideration the social aspects. Because there could be social compulsions to introduce certain courses and then because of certain social reasons you are able to introduce some of the courses. And you are also talking of that number of students, etc. could be a ground to really find out which we are not considering, we are only considering the financial parameters thereof. I can only say accounting standard is what it is, I cannot change it, you cannot change it. But the moment you start bringing in qualitative aspects or the social angle, in that case the judgment becomes absolutely subjective. And in any case I can tell you nobody forces, nobody on the earth can force the management to close down one of the MDP or specialized courses merely because it is running into losses. If the management is of the view that it is adding to the social value, the cultural values, they may continue with the course, nobody forces them to close it. Let me be very clear about it. In a private organization the considerations could be different. In a government educational institution the considerations are going to be different. It is only that it is giving you a parameter for judging the performance based upon the segment information. Rest is for the management to take the action not to take the action. Accountants cannot force that you need to do it under all circumstances. There is no way that we can say this. So, we leave it to you. So, most of the organizations, they get the government grants and they make expenditure out of government grants and revenues also they are. This revenue whether it is to be taken as turnover of the institutes because the entire revenue is adjusted by the government in the next year grant. Either they have to refund or it is adjusted in the next year grant. They cannot retain it. But the government gives you the grant. The government is given 100 rupees. We spend 100 rupees. We earn 20 rupees. Next year 20 rupees if not refunded 80 rupees only will come if the budget of next year is 100 rupees. You refund 20 rupees to them. No, we do not refund. We do not refund but next next next year. The profit. It is adjusted only. To me the turnover will be what you earn. The concept of turnover is little bit confusing in this sense. No. Very frankly even if you are receiving the grant let me give you an example. You will be receiving grant for what? Meeting the salaries of the staff members. Primarily. Let me say primarily it is to meet the salaries and to meet the running expenditure. But this running expenditure or the meeting of the salaries is to be otherwise met out of the receipts that you get. It is your receipt which is more important from the students and not the aid. Aid is not your turnover. Let me be very clear about it. It is what you get from the students. You get from the MDP which is a part of your turnover. The aid is not a part of your turnover. Aid is not a turnover. We cannot increase from that way also. No, it is fine. But whatever fee you receive that is a part of your turnover. Yeah, it is clear. That is as simple as that. But you cannot increase it. Income from operation only. Yeah. Income from operation. Fine. Whatever you receive from the students it is a part of your turnover. Simple. Whatever you receive building fee building fee is not a part of your turnover because building fee will go only to building fee because you will create a fund in respect thereof. Anything that you receive specifically for a particular purpose it is not a part of your turnover. Anything that you receive general which you can utilize anywhere else that is a part of your turnover. Let us be clear about it. Friend kind of revenues will be there. The organization may receive donations they may receive fees. Donation is a part of your turnover. Grant is not. Where it will find that these are part of turnover or these are not. Your gross receipts leave out the aid out of it. Because aid will be determined under AS-12. Okay. Ten percent of that income from operations only will be taken as total reporting. Ten percent of the total turnover plus if you are charging anything to your own departments anywhere. Again I am coming to that. Say there are segment one B C A B C if A charges something to B or B charges something to C or C is charged by A. That is also part of the turnover along with the turnover which you receive from the outside. When you get to begin with generally it will not happen in the government universities. It happens in the private organizations. So in your case ten percent will be of the receipt that you get from the students basically. Okay. Lastly which I would like to say is when you prepare segmental information also accounting policy that you follow for a particular segment will be the same that you follow for the enterprise as a whole. It is not possible that for the purpose of enterprise you follow an accounting policy which is absolutely different from the policy that you follow for the purpose of the segment. If in enterprise you follow the accrual system of accounting for the purpose of segment also you will follow the accrual system of accounting. So that part you have to be following follow for the purpose of the enterprise the same accounting policy you will follow for the purpose of determining the segment result also. That part you keep in mind. I think rest is all these are disclosures. Revenue from sale to customer segment revenue from transactions with the other segments. That is what I talked of the definitions because of that. Total carrying amount of the segment assets total carrying amount of the segment assets to tangible and intangible fixed assets depreciation and amortization for the period, significant as the non-cache expenses. Other disclosures? This is inter-segment transfers that was talking about the revenue which is to be derived there form. How to segregate the assets into, in between two different segments like if we use this lecture all for the beta students as whether PhD students and how to segregate value into two different segments. Based on the number of students, there is a reasonable basis for allocation. Can be allocated on the basis of fees collected also. Yes, you see the other all expenses can be allocated based on the number of students. There can be certain courses which are for three years, there are certain courses which are there for one year. Exactly. So you will have to find a reasonable basis on which this allocation of expense can be paid. Yes, sir. Okay. Thank you, sir. But you will have to disclose what is the basis. Yes, sir, yes. Thank you.


Welcome back. This time we're playing Rodland on the Amiga. If Target Renegade is the best beat-em-up I've ever played, this is the best cutemap. Anyone who doesn't agree with me must be dead from the joystick up. Got wrenchingly cute it might be, but there's no denying Rodland is a fantastic little game. In fact it's been said and put firmly on record by the programmer of the Amiga and the Atari ST versions that they programmed Rodland on the Amiga and ST the way it should have been programmed originally in the arcade. This Amiga port wasn't released until late in September 1991. The Amiga version even has bonuses and hidden levels completely absent in the arcade original. It doesn't stop there either. Unused sprites and animations from the arcade original were shared with the developers of the Amiga version giving every character in the game extra animation. In fact this arcade conversion is so good Amiga Power rated it the 16th best game of all time. So the story goes your mum has been stolen and locked in a tower. Luckily you've been handed some magic rods and thanks to the Wizard of Oz you've been given some magic slippers. Although not the Ruby Red variety. It's here where the pursuit begins as the wretched demon flies off with your mother which sees you racing to the tower with hoping your heart that you can still reach her. You'll need to use your magical ladder to aid you in reaching otherwise impossible platforms and places. The way to go is to collect all the flowers before hitting the enemy. This will give you extra play and bigger bonuses including spelling the word extra for more lives. For those in a rush you can still or be a little bit more difficult steam through rod land like Rambo whilst repeatedly body slamming enemies as you go. It's immensely satisfying and never quite gets old. I know this is for an Amiga game but a special mention has to go out to the ZX Speccy version which is basically arcade perfection crammed into a measly 64. I apologise 48k finished in monochrome but sadly missing the wonderful catchy arcade tune. The boom explosions and character animations are really special in the ZX Speccy version. So a massive Q-DOS needs to go out to sales curve here as I don't believe even the mighty ocean software could have put together a better version. I would however like to know who programmed the ZX Speccy version as at the end of the game the programmer refers to himself as Strawberry Jam. What on earth was he thinking? The only thing I can imagine is that his mind was completely boggled by all this cuteness. I can't recall if rod land ever received a sequel but there are moments in this game where you are bogged down right in the thick of nastiness only to crush a baddie and release some kind of homie missile from the baddie's remains. Only the early 90s can pull off such a cute game in this way whilst including weapons of mash destruction. It must be said and put on record that the elf girl is a lot hotter on the Amiga version than seen in the arcade original. So a big bonus points there even if it's for all the wrong reasons. The Amstrad CPC version as well that's really good. It's a little bit slower compared to the arcade Amiga and ZX Spectrum but it's still highly playable and features mode zero graphics which boasts 16 beautiful colours. When I think back to this game the real bonus, the nostalgia if you like was playing with my cousins, friends, family trying to outdo each other in the high score department. So I think it's those memories that make games like this even more special when you play them or think about them and look back. And it's also wonderful to see that the game is every bit as beautiful, cute and playable as you remember which definitely can't be said for the PlayStation 1 generation of games. The 3D mostly looks blocky and horrible by today's standards. These 2D games still look good in my opinion. In fact playing this game has given me a good idea for the next video. So for the Amiga I'm thinking about doing perfect arcade ports so which arcade ports made it to the Amiga and were perfect if you like or almost perfect or as with Rodland in my opinion, better than the arcade original. So I think I'm going to try to do that on all the main 8 bit computers and then the 16 bit computers as well for the popular ones of the time. So we're getting ever so higher up the tower and the variety of enemies as you go higher and higher changes as well. It's absolutely brilliant. The difficulty as well is also starting to seriously ramp up there. So just because this game is cute it doesn't mean it's easy by any stretch of the imagination. In fact if you've never played this or you have played it but never took it quite seriously it's good to go back in because it's a real test of your skills. I know it doesn't look like it but it will seriously push your skills to the limit. I haven't played the Commodore 64 version but I've heard it's really good so that's one I'm going to look back at and give it a try and give it a play through. I've never played the Atari ST version either or any other version that might be out there other than the arcade, the Spectrum, Amphred CPC and Amiga. I'll put that right at some point and I'd like to see how the Commodore 64 version handled it. I've gotten myself a little bit stuck here. I don't know what I'm doing. I might just... That's the only thing I could think of. Ah, nice one. Somebody mentioned to me that there's an even cuter game than this. Now I do know which one he's talking about but why not drop in the chat if you think you know what that game is? It's probably not as obvious as you might think but have a go. The very first time I actually ever played this game was with my cousin in the local fish and chip shop. Back in the day the fish and chip shops were like little mini arcade halls and they had several arcade machines. Now you go in there and there's not. Today you actually just go in there for food but back when I was probably 11, 12 around that age you had pinball machines, slot machines and arcade machines. In fact I remember there was one that even had a pool table. So I don't want this video to go on any longer than 10 minutes. I hope this has brought back some memories to you. It could be that you'd never heard of this game and this is a good one to go back to. It's also a good game, a great game because of the two player element to introduce your kids to as well. If you liked this video please support us by subscribing or leaving a comment. Oh and don't forget to press that little bell that will give you notifications when I've next uploaded a video. And hope to discuss this game more in the chat. Until next time, bye!

The fingertips. Your legs shouldn't be like that. Your fingers. They should be like that. In the way you do it like that. They should be like that. So your fingers are also doing this. They are facing. He pushes them down on it. With suhajib. And he brings them close to each other. Your fingers like that. That our light on your legs. They should face the qibla. And face away from the qibla. And his knees. He sticks them together. His legs. He sticks them together. Like that. The ankles. Not the legs here. The ankles is what? His ankles. His ankles. His ankles. An irtidal f is tujudi. Coming with irtidal in what? In your sujud. Itadad means tranquil in your sujud. And that is that. He pushes.  Tranquil, walitma inanufi and to be like that, tranquil like that, in the Salah, sudut, sorry, is a pillow, what does he say in it? wa yakoonu fihi says, subhaala rabbiyan a'ala, three times or even more, wa yustahabbu it is preferred, highly recommended, an yuktira du'a'a fihi that he increases the du'a'a in it, fa inna hu madanna tul ijabah, because this is the place of acceptance, this is the place Allah is the most closest to the servant in the prostration, na'am, wa yaj'ala sududahu kareeban mir ruku'i fittulik kama takaddam, one should make it, wa yaj'ala he should make, sududahu he sudud, with what? kareeban mir ruku'i that sudud should be close to your what? your ruku'i in length, as been mentioned before, wa yaj'uzu and it's also permissible, as sududu a'ala al-arzi to prostrate on the earth, wa a'ala ha'ilin baynaha wa baynah al-jabha and also a cloth or a carpet that is in between you and the ground it's permissible, from aga'min mithubin, or besatin, or hasirin, or na'ahu like pebbles are between you, or a cloth, or a garment, or whatever it is whatever is in between you and the ground, that you can't say, oh you're not doing sududu on the ground, no you are wa la yaj'uzu an yaqar al-Quran al-Husajid and it's not permissible for him to read what? Quran while he's prostrating the person has an issue that they don't know the Quran they know the Arabic language you want to get married for instance, you want to tell Allah I want to get married to this sister oh Allah, you know, is she the right one for me oh Allah, bring the best out of it for me and her what do you say? you don't know how to say all of that in Arabic so say wa qinah adaban but when you say oh Allah, give us the good in this world what are you referring to right now? that righteous wife we are in our kitab in the Holy Prophet's Salat min atta qbeery ilata salimi ka'annah kta'raha written by the great scholar, Mohammed Rasul We reach the point we reach the point al-iftarashu wa al iqaa wa al iqaa u live in the two seasons what does the word al-iftarash mean? what does the word al-iftarash mean? it means it's sitting upon the left foot it's sitting on your left foot which is laid. Your left foot is lying down like that and you sit on top of it and your other foot is straight like that. Straight like that and your leg is flat like that and you sit on the left foot. You sit on it. Your bottom is on the left foot. You're sitting on it. That's called iftiraashu. Iqaa means is when you sit in between the two when you sit in between when you sit on the raised hill. When you're raised hill you sit on it. Both of the hills are raised you sit on it. Both of the raised hills like that and you put your bum on it. Those are the both ways of the sitting in between the sejidateini. That's how it is. So what was the first way? Iftiraashu sitting on your left leg. Then after that the sheikh goes on to say, so when he sits in between then he lifts his head up.  Okay? When he does that The person, he's in the sejood, he goes up and he says And what does he also do? He lifts his hands up and puts them back on his what? Ties. When he's ties. Sometimes, the Prophet used to do it sometimes. In between the sejidateini he used to do Allahu Akbar, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Then he lifts his head up so the Prophet will sit down. He will sit calmly until every bone goes back to its place. So the person came back from the sejood, so he got his sejood. He went Allahu Akbar and he sits down and he Allahu Akbar. Remember, we started in the first lesson. Where do the hands go? Two places. To his shoulders or to his ears. He does it while sitting down. The way he sits down is one of two. It's either iftiraashu abalik a'u. Iftiraashu sitting on his left leg or he's sitting on both of the heels. Is that clear? Is it clear for everyone? When he does that, he sits for a little bit. And he goes back again. How would a person, what is meant by calmly? It means that the person sits down. That his body goes still.  Has your body been still yet? No.  Once you feel that, you go back to the sejood again. The second sejood. You go back to the second sejood. Wa-yafru shurij-laihi. What does the person do whilst in his sejood? The person should what? He should yafru shurij-lahu. He should open his legs. Fayaqudu alayhiha wa hadha waajimun. The person, he sets his right. Wa yafru shurij-lahu yusra. The person what he does is, he should lay his left foot flat. And sit beneath it and sit on it. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu. He opens his leg. He's left leg. Fayaqudu alayhiha wa hadha waajimun. And that is mandatory. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu yusra. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu yusra. And what does he do? And he sets his right foot up on the ground. And that's what I just mentioned. Sorry, this is not the sejood. It's what I mentioned. It's the iftarash. The sheikh is trying to explain. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu. He sits. So he says Allahu Akbar. And the sheikh is now telling you how he should sit. And I explained it to you. I just showed you. He sits on his left leg. And his right leg, it goes up. As I just showed you. He stands up like that. He's like that. And it goes up. On his toes. Now on his toes. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu yusra. And he puts, he digs his right leg, which I just showed you the first time. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu. And the fingers face the qiblah. What does it mean by the fingers face the qiblah? It means when you do this, if you look at it, my legs have to face towards the qiblah. So it's not like this. It's not like this. It's not like that. Are they facing towards the qiblah? No. My fingers are not. So I have to do it like this, where the fingers are facing towards the qiblah as well. Directly. This is what we're talking about. How the person should do. Again. The leg is done like this. The person, he sits like this. I'm sitting on my left, and the fingers are facing towards the qiblah. They're facing towards the qiblah. So here are the fingers. It's like toes. Oh, sorry. The person doesn't do this. He doesn't do that. That's called the iftarash. So the person does that, what then? He's going against the sunnah of the messenger. He's going against the sunnah of the messenger. So one should learn the Salat of how the Prophet As-Salam has prayed. Wa-yafru shurij-lahu. The fingers they face towards the qiblah. You see? Wa-yajuzu. And it's permissible. Al-iqa'a. Oh, hayanin. Iqa'a, as we mentioned it. It means that he puts his legs down like that, and then he would you call it, sits on both of the heels, the back of the heels. He sits on it. This is called iqa'a. She explains it for you. Wa-huwa ayan tasiba. The iqa'a means that he places his toes so he digs his legs. Wa-huwa ayan tasiba al-aqibi. He puts his fingers, both of them. Where are the toes going to face again? Qiblah. So both of his fingers are going to be towards it now. So before the right side, now he's going to do the left side.  Both of them are placed towards it, and he sits on the heels. The heels are here, and the fingers are both facing what? Towards the qiblah. Both of them. That's called iqa'a'u. So what do some people do? They get those fingers, and what do they do? They bring it out. And they don't make the toes face the qiblah. Wa-suduru qadama'him. Wa-yaqulu. And what does he say? Whilst he's sitting down like this. So the sheikh has told us, is it clear to everyone? Is it clear? While sitting like that, what does he say? He says, Allahumma gfirli. Oh Allah, forgive me. Wa-rahamni. And send mercy on me. Wa-jburni. An'a wallahu subhanahu wa-ta'ala. Suffice me. Wa-rafa'ni. An'a wallah. Raise my ranks. Wa-aafini. An'a wallah. Give me health. And safety. Wa-razuqni. An'a wallah subhanahu wa-ta'ala. Grant me provision. Grant me provision. That's what he says. Wa-insha'a if he wants. He can say, Oh Allah, forgive me. Rabbi gfirli. Oh Allah, forgive me. That's what he can say. Good. Wa-yutilu habi. He's jalsa. This sitting, he lengthens it. Hatta takoonu kareebah min sajjati. How long should he sit for? We said that it should be as close as to how long he's sujood was. Ah. And remember that sujood should have been as long as Haouda. The ruku' was. And that ruku' should be as long as Haouda. Qiyam was. So everything should be as long as Haouda was before it. The person, what does he do after that? Asajj dututhania. The person goes for the second sujood. The second prostration. Thumma yukibbiru juban. He has to say Allah Akbar. And it's obligation. It's an obligation. He says Allah Akbar. So he's done the sitting. All of that was what? The sitting. How he should sit. What he should say. Where his feet, his face and all of that. Now he wants to go back to the sujood. Again, the first sujood is sitting. He's done the first sujood. He wants to go to the second sujood. He goes to the second sujood. Thumma yukibbiru juban. He has to say Allah Akbar. ويرفعوا يدي مع هذا كبير أحيانه.  Before he goes to the sujood. Because Allah Akbar. And then he goes to the sujood. Sometimes. أحيانه not always. Sometimes. All of this is what the Prophet did. ويسجدوا سجدتتتهنية. After that, he does his second what? He does his second sujood. He does his what? He does his second sujood. He does his second sujood Wow, what he a Ruk Nun and the second sujood is a what? It's a Pilla What he does in the sujood what he done in the first sujood we explain what the first is what he has to do in it He does what he does in the second prostration that which he did in the first he has to do that Jelsa listiraha This is called the sitting of rest jelsa al istiraha. So he done his two sujoods Okay, he's done his what? Two sujood There's a small sit. He wants to go up again. Remember what does he want to do? He wants to stand up. There's a sit called the resting sit. It's called jelsa tul istiraha So when he lifts his heads up Meena sedj de tithaniyati from the second prostration Wa aradan nuhooda ila raka tithaniya and he wants to go up He he intends to perform the second raka. He wants to go up. What does he do? Kabbar wujuban. He says allahu akbar and it's mandatory that he does it Wa yarfa'u raksahu ahyanin and he lifts his heads up his head up sometimes Sorry, why arfa'u yaday? Sorry, why did I say here face? He lifts his hands up. Sorry, his hands Up sometimes So he's in the last sujood He gets up What does he do? He says allahu akbar He lifts his head up for the second. He wants to go up. So what does he do? He goes all and then Before he goes to the standing. What does he do?  He goes allahu akbar I sit quickly. The sit in how is it going to be? How he did the between the sujooda tithaniy between the two sujoodas the way he sat either on his heels Or in his left foot. He sits there and he goes allahu akbar while sitting down The sheikh said what he does is he briefly sits upright on his right left his left foot Mu'atidil and he's back is straight That every part of the body goes back to what? To his place. So he he done his last sujood. He wants to go up. So what does he do? He sits down and then he please hands. He goes up to the shoulders or his ears and he Wait for every part of his body to be still and go to his position Bow now every bone goes to his position Then he stands up for the second unit. He's finished the first ura'a like that Did we not go through the first ura'a very well? He stands up for the first second qiyam now. He stands for the second standing Then what he does is he then he gets up Supporting himself on the ground On the ground with what? With his fist clenched Clenched like this does it like that And what does he do? He puts it on the ground The same way the man that's making the the yeast The the the bread the dough the dough the way he puts his hand in the dough when he does it like that He does this he does it like that and he grabs it like that. He puts fist in it That's the way he's called the clinching. He clinches his hands like that It's a pillar It's a pillar No getting up like this is a pillar the sheikh says naam Naam the sheikh says a pillar to do this And he does And he does in the second raga'a what we study in the first raga'a reading fatiha Reading the second surah whether it's recommended where he places his hand all that has been mentioned when we spoke about the first raga'a Illa accept Except the difference between the first one and this one is that the first one What did you read the the supplication of the opening right? The first raga'a because you open the salada or the first raga'a The second raga'a you don't have to do that dua anymore. It's finished. Do not do that dua. Start straight away with what? Remember anything after surat al-fatiha what did we say? Sunnah it's recommended highly recommended that the person does it So the person can just stick to fatiha and not go anything over that That raga'a naam And he makes it The first pillar the first raga'a The length it was the second raga'a which is now doing should be a bit shorter than the first raga'a He should now start his salah should basically become shorter as as raga'a go And how should it be short the first two raga'a should be in total Longer than the last two raga'a if it's an isha prayer or a dhuhr prayer or an asir prayer For raga'a if it's a maghrib prayer the first two raga'a should slightly be longer as Together then they should then Then the third raga'a the third raga'a should be very short Should be very short or ideally short The first raga'a first of all the longest the second raga'a becomes what? Shota a bit than the first raga'a And the last two raga'a are shorter than the first two So in total who's going to be longer The first two raga'a's are going to be longer longer now El julusul et tashahud now we're going to be sitting for the declaration of the faith which is the last raga'a it's called the tashahud Fa'idah faraqa min al raka'a tithania So we're not going to go through the ruku'a again We're not going to go through the sujud again We're not going to go through the best sujud between the sujud the thing we do all of that Now we're going to go to the final point which is the what? At tashahud And we're going to finish that today by the name of Allah El kareem El julusul et tashahud The sitting for the declaration of faith Fa'idah faraqa min al raka'a tithania So when the person finishes the second raga'a He sits to perform the tashahud He sits to perform the tashahud Fa'idah faraqa min al raka'a tithania Qa'a dali tashahud He sits for what? The tashahud Wa hua wa ajibun and it's an obligation It's an obligation Wa yajilusul he sits Muftari shan kama sabak He sits which way? What way does he sit? This is the first tashahud Remember right? Which is the first tashahud What do you call it? The first tashahud The person what does he do? Because the first tashahud is finished He's on the tashahud right? Qa'a dali tashahud he sits and it's mandatory Wa yajf tarishu and he sits down In the way he sat down when he was in between the tashahud Left leg and the right leg standing The fingers facing towards the qiblah That's how he sits Ha lakin la yajujul iqa'a Sitting on the heels and the tashahud is not permissible I yet take that out The riddle of that Sitting on your heels and the tashahud is not permissible It's the sheikh's going to mention it to us Lakin la yajujul iqa'a huna It is not permissible Who did it before you? Who sat like that? The prophet dinata alaihi salam Between the two tashahud? Yes You can You got two sits to sit But what's doing at tahiyah? At tahiyah the first tashahud You do what is known as if tashahud we mentioned it You sit on the left leg and your right foot is facing towards the qiblah If a darura comes, the person says how he can If a necessity comes Al darura tutubihehu al mahadurat Of course The person is very big And his flies are very big And his leg is very big And his legs will not come like that together And that person you sit the way is most appropriate Naam naam The prophet's prayer changed in his life When he grew older, alaihi salam it changed The way he used to stand up The way he went Because he went older alaihi salam But that is because age or illness Not a problem Naam The person does as close as he can to it What is this? Wa yadda'u kaffahun yumna He places his right hand Ala faqidihi wa rukbatihi yumna He places his right hand on top of what? His right thigh And the left hand he puts it on his left So his hands are like that On his thighs Good Ma'sha'Allah Wa nihayatul marfiq ilayman Ala faqidihi la yab'udu anhu So the person what does he do?  Wa yadda'u he should put He and place his hands and his thumbs All of them together On his thighs He should place it On his thighs Naam The sheikh raheemullah he said that he places it on his But insha'Allah we're going to take I didn't know the sheikh had his view But the sheikh raheemullah he's saying That even the knees can be added to it But insha'Allah we're going to go to the authentic The ruling of the hadith And then our previous lesson now But I thought we didn't have that view Sheikh Nasir But we're not going to take which is right Which is wrong The views that But this is the sheikh's opinions For now we stick to what Sheikh Nasir said

The newsletter happens once a week. It's called the New New Newsletter because there's new products that get added to the shop weekly. So you can stay tuned and keep up to date with those new products by subscribing to the New New Newsletter. Head over to www.adafruit.com for daily newsletters. We have www.adafruitdaily.com on our standalone website and you don't get automatically subscribed to it because we don't do that. So you can go to www.adafruitdaily.com and check out all the different categories that you might want to subscribe to such as Python on hardware, 3D printing, maker business, biohacking and IoT monthly. So you can check those out by heading over to www.adafruitdaily.com I think that's it for the stuff. Hooray, hooray. Thank you and our mic seems to still be working. Before now. Yeah, I just turned it on and turned it off and our backup mic worked out really well. It's just always running and it works really well. Yep. Looks like we're not over-modulated this week. Yes, that's right and there's no static and stuff. Audio is such a hard thing to do, bugs. It's the hardest. Alright, let's go ahead and jump into last week's project. This week we wanted to spotlight the USB Trinkie with a video. It's pretty much last week's learn guide but this week we wanted to make a video for it. Yep, so we talked about this for about a month I think. It is the Neo Trinkie case a little stabilizer on here with the USB shell and of course the cap touch buttons. We went over the learn guide last week so we won't do that again and just a quick overview of the uses for the Neo Trinkie. I think Dylan is working on an injection. We inserted it into a Chromebook and it sets up all your Wi-Fi and all that for doing deployments in education. So we have a large amount of computers that need to be set up with the Wi-Fi an excellent way to have a it's called a rubber ducky. That's the product that you could purchase but you can totally DIY one with a Neo Trinkie or any of the Neo Trinkies rather the USB Trinkies that's what we're calling them. Yeah, so this one is the Neo you can do the rotary and also the slider and this one here, I don't know if we showed this one off with the Neo key which has a Cherry MX slash Kale switch. It's a bunch of these really cool single use with multiple inputs for your little quick task. Again, we also release the USB shell. So if you have more stability when you plug in your Trinkie, check out the USB shell. It's a quick 3D print with no supports. You can print them all for your Trinkies and you can wedge it into the USB port to get better fittings. That's it there. You can check out the video and of course Learn Guy and all the files for that. I had a couple of makes of these over the weekend and we have those in the community make. We'll show that off in the community. For sure. So, if folks would like to use these and create different maybe some 3D printed enclosures that are different or sort of mounting bits we do have some models for folks. So we have a 3D model of the Neo Trinkie PCB So you can check this out. We have the Rotary Trinkie as well. This one comes with a model of the Rotary encoder and the Slide Trinkie Slide Trinkie comes with a 35mm slide pot and all the lovely components on the bottom there. So check those out hitting over to our Github repo. Pedro can post a link to that in the discord and we try to promote that wherever we can. And I might as well bring it up. Oh, I can't. I don't have it locked in here. That's fine. If you go and search for Adafruit CAD parts you can pull it up there and you can find all the different parts that were added. Namely the USB Trinkies. We do have one more. This one is from Jay on JP's product pick of the week. He chose the NeoKey feather wing. So the NeoKey feather wing is a two key with two NeoPixels reverse mounted NeoPixels and they have the kale sockets so you can switch them out. You can easily pop them out and they have the right little nubs and all the little mounting bits for a bit. You can purchase it now and get the 3D model of it and the learn guide is a work in progress. But it has a STEMQT connector on it and a lot of other pinouts and things. So really, really cool feather wing and great job JP for showing it off yesterday. It was on sale for like crazy cheap. A little milk carton design. Yes, the milk carton design is something we probably will do. Alright cool. Thanks for the link there. Alright so check out that video on the NeoKey and check out that USB kind of shell if you want to make your thing a little bit tighter. Alright, let's move on to I guess this show is going to be mostly covered up with all the prototypes I've been working on. How do we start? Which one first? I don't know. Which one? Do we do the fan? Yeah, let's do the fan. Let's see an update to the USB. Yeah, so this is the smart fume extractor. Liz had this idea. Yeah, so we were testing it out and we kept running into some airflow stuff. So this is kind of the B1 version prototype of it. And while you're using it, it's because airflow and because of the placement of the sensor, the fumes tend to wrap around. It's really difficult to get a good reading from our little gas sensor. So we worked it out. How do we make the airflow directional? Yo dawg, I heard you like fans. So we put a fan on your fan. So with a little mini 5-volt fan for like a Raspberry Pi we fitted it over the gas sensor and enclosed it so that the fumes can actually kind of group together so that the sensor can actually read it. And on the back there's a little hole so that the sensor can actually escape. So this just makes it so that it definitely gets a good reading on the solder fumes. So that's kind of the update that we're working on. Yeah, so you tried adding a funnel on there which didn't quite work.  Yeah, airflow is quite a difficult thing. You can't really see it and you can simulate it and maybe I haven't been able to simulate airflow. I think you can in certain circumstances I would really search that but Maya. Yeah, Maya. But by enclosing it by enclosing the fan and the sensor it will trap all those fumes in there so it can get a good reading and that seems to be working pretty good. In the video here you can see it sucks up the fumes and it'll push it out towards the carbon filter that's in the back there and then once it catch the reading it'll go through the fan speed because it's using PWM so the fan the knock to a fan is directly mapped to the fume so the more fumes the higher the fan speed and you can change and play around with the range too so we're still working on it but that's what we have so far for the prototype multi-layered plans it lives up to the overly complicated fume extractor name. Out of another layer of complexity but it definitely works although and I had a lot of luck without it but of course that was just the time of day probably or the way that the air was probably flying on towards it. I played around with the value just so that it would turn on but to get an actual good reading you can see the airflow is just being displaced it's just the way the airflow is and when you have a sensor in the center of a fan maybe that's not the best yeah maybe that's not the best place for it a little bit of the prototyping so we're thinking this will be ready for I think next week I think well we still need to get Lamar to prove this so we need we'll probably do the CPX Jeopardy game so let's take a look at the Jeopardy game what's that? Yeah so trying to be lining up with the pop culture of things that are going on right now there is a bunch of celebrity guests that are hosting Jeopardy so Lamar from Reading Rainbow is going to be a guest host on that so Lamar thought it would be a good idea to try to make a Jeopardy based game with CPX so your playground Blue Fruit CPV so here is the repurposed handle that was used in the Fairy Wings and what you do here is you set up the game to allow players to go so it can hold up 3 players and once you get your answer right it will glow with the appropriate color so I should probably have all of the handles match the color that will be for each player and then once you get the answer right the controller will allow you to erase that and then another tap to allow the players to chime in to what the answer is going to be so it allows you to play again and either buy a vowel or something so the way we have this all hooked up is we'll show the diagram and everything when it comes out probably next week and just a Stema speaker on there to amplify that sound which I don't think there is a sound when you tap on the button but we thought we added there just because we can so everything is going to be enclosed in this little case here this will be where the controller button will be set up in and on the inside we'll have the playground and the Stema speaker on the bottom there it's a good spot for the speaker a nice little snap fit together case with the arcade button on here and then the LODs will glow through to the translucent cover here so work in progress but nice way to have a home high jeopardy game a huge shout out to Dylan Harada who wrote the code for this and kind of I gate it with Lamar so shout out to both of them for letting us work on the 3D printed parts of it I was just saying that alligator clips won't be there they're just there for prototype votes it'll all be nice and enclosed but it's nice to show what it looks like in prototype most of the projects start off with alligator clips especially on a circuit playground blue fruit or express why Lamar wanted the cpb to be the controller for this just so you can prototype easy easily and if you don't want to go with the case you can have these just as a a nice set of wires that yeah I think folks could repurpose the code and electronics to make a bigger version of it and they can use that because circuit python you can use a different board whether it's a ESP 32 s2 for doing wifi an nrf52a40 or even an rp2040 circuit python now supports all of those gebs very cool so that is the jeopardy game yay can't wait to have fun and play with that good family time game I love making games this is the best one well not when the the children take the game a little bit too serious oh right yeah well it's a good opportunity to learn to not be a sword loser next one up that your prototyping is might turn out with some cnc cnc milling so this is the lemon keypad I'm anticipating some more cnc milling so I figured why not try to mill out some of these keycaps in some of this hardwood so I came up with a couple of different designs because I kind of failed at a couple of them so I got a couple pieces here I want to share with you folks because each failed piece is a story of its own so I guess I'll show up this one this is sort of the first fail so trying to design a stem I ran into some issues where my tool is a bit give me a sec I am not hitting the right slider I have to do that snap again okay so while trying to design a stem I came up with this bit here because I was referencing the little keypad the little kiddiepaw keypad if you take a look the way they're doing it is it has these kind of posts that kind of protrude out and they're not fully enclosed like wait sorry I didn't really rehearse this this is what you would see typically would see the stem that is fully enclosed like that but because of my tool I kind of couldn't do that so I went with this route and this works well if you are milling it out of aluminum so this is what happened to a few of my keys where these little bits just broke off so I had to rework and redo the design so instead of going with these little pillars I figured let me try to enclose it is more of a kale style stem so it fits into the stem that way so that's what I redid there and let's see so that's this one this is like the what failed on this one is the position of this is incorrect it doesn't actually match the position of this so that was kind of a fail it worked great but you forgot to update and push that up so it's more centered if it's off by a millimeter well it's not going to fit your lemon is it so that's a fail this one works okay it didn't fail but because of this I'm afraid to kind of use this because I feel like that could break off this is a walnut or perhaps it's cherry one of the two I used cherry and walnut interchangeably it's supposed to be hardwood it doesn't matter it's still broke so let's look at the next one this is another fail what's going on here why did this fail well this one failed because they didn't use enough tape the tape wasn't I just didn't use enough tape so this as it was plunging down and doing a contour it broke the piece off and you can see here that it snapped off so use enough tape that's one dip another one is to not be so aggressive in your step down when you are milling you don't want to go the max depth with the small part I figured that yeah I always go with the max depth of a millimeter cutting down with a 1 eighth inch tool but that's adding so much pressure that it could pop your piece off of your of either your jig or in this case tape so what I ended up doing was of course using more tape but also reducing the max step down from one millimeter to a half a millimeter because then it won't have so much pressure when it's plunging down into it so that's what failed here this one also failed in the same manner where it only got about that deep until the tape just gave away and it failed yeah this bit here this failed because I didn't use the correct offset so when you're doing when you're creating your tool paths and you're using different tools you kind of want to separate your g-code into individual tools so this piece requires two tools an eighth inch and a one thirty two inch the one thirty two inches a separate g-code and I just forgot one millimeter so it's not it's off centered so this doesn't work but luckily I used a scrap piece so that's why like there's these little Mars and stuff on the bottom because I actually used a scrap piece but those are my fails and I'm happy to share them with you here's some more pieces of wood this is a cherry and this is walnut you can can you tell I can't I don't know gonna have a chat here Patrick thought it was pine so no you can't tell woods yeah woods different I know but yeah maybe you can tell from the grains somehow yeah but in any manner that's a that's some some stuff there I have some footage too that I can share of the experience is more of like just playing and testing so one of the first things to do if you are milling is to face your material which means I need to get it to the desired thickness of my part so I use the one eighth inch tool because it's the biggest tool that I can use on the Bantam tools desktop CNC it's the PCB version and here right here red flag three strips of tape was not enough this isn't just any regular tape this is double sided NATO tape which is like this paper craft tape that works really well it's very strong and it works both for hardwoods and aluminum and a pinch so that's what I'm using but it just didn't use enough right so here I am facing the stuff and facing is just getting your material to the desired thickness or also leveling out your material so this can take anywhere from half hour to an hour depending on your feeds and speed settings another thing I realized is to not do both directions meaning that when you're facing you can tell your tool path do you want to go from both edges or just one edge when you go both edges sure you're saving machining time but it ends up going against the grain to the point where like there's these very thin chips that give you splinters so here are like all of that I guess I could have reduced the step over I literally got a splinter there so I ended up facing it again this time offsetting it a bit and going the full length down because there's not much to mill out so I haven't quite had to do this yet where I optimized two faces to get my my desired thickness and was working with a 12 millimeter piece but the keycap not enough tape it just broke right off horrifying I know alright sorry about the audio folks but there's visuals here to go with what I'm saying so the last bit is to use the 132 inch to create that little plus sign cut out and that ends up working out pretty good for the tolerances so setting it up in fusion 360 is something that took a little bit and I plan to do a layer by layer on that yeah I'm still learning kind of the workflow and stuff for this particular part but I think I have enough to kind of share some techniques but yeah that's kind of the nutshell in a walnut shell and walnut shell good good pun there yeah I think that's right I wish I rehearsed this alright Avro saying that Fran Blank uses carpet tape to have the part stick to the CNC bed carpet tape it's a good I've never heard of carpet tape but I need to find out about carpet tape and then people asking was this 3 printed or is it real wood yep it is real wood yeah it's real wood I showed the video of the milling it's real wood that was before probably I showed that video what else can I say about it these are I don't know white box kale switches yeah yeah it's missing some shellac or something really dark into tones because these are you know it's a mix of cherry and walnut and I can't tell the difference but when you shellac them you can get some nice tones that comes out and really shows off like the walnut or the cherry does the cherry come out more red I think so and you can always play around with you can always play around with different stains well so that is the CNC milling lemon key caps more to come shapes all right yeah I can remember when we were making these with the resin 3D printer this was one of the most difficult walls to get to print out just because of how thin it is right at the edge there showing it but yeah that required us to just thicken it up a little bit while not getting too thick where it can fit into the actual switch itself so yeah yeah one of the challenges with with milling is the tool itself is circular so if you look you can't really get sharp edges on those corners there where the plus sign is so I had to add some gaps so that the fillets are a byproduct of just cutting it with a circular tool and the diameter of this tool 132 inch is 0.8 millimeters and the actual width of the plus sign is 1.1 millimeters yeah and then another weird thing is normally the stems are 4 millimeters tall but the tool that I'm using is only 3 millimeters tall so I had to reduce the height but that's fine it still fits okay because the wall here stops the the kale switch the stem from going too deep in even though it could go a little bit further in but yeah one thing to know about shapes is like they're squares for a reason so if I try to put two of these spin around it just won't fit right like it just won't fit because I don't have adequate clearance or whatever like that's why this isn't you know they want it to work with the key next to it so you want to keep your keys defined within the square but the whole point of this project was not to be a square so that's why these just won't fit with the square they just won't yeah so just a little thing there we got some suggestions from Susan who's saying to use a butcher block conditioner Chalak has a feel I'm guessing like a sticky feel or something like that so you want to keep it nice and matte not sticky not tacky search for butcher block conditioner great idea some sort of oil maybe like an oil-based varnish I see some food grade comment Yanni is suggesting a Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard with wooden keys yeah that's a great idea just make sure that it works there cool so then Agent Smith was asking if the 3-printed filament does it feel like real wood it can it can feel especially the bottom parts it's sawdust mixed with some PLA composite so it's got real wood in it it smells of the smoke that comes out but you want to be careful with it because it tends to chew and eat away at your nozzle so it can cause some clog so be wary of that cool so Bruce is saying that a mixture of mineral oil and bees wax is actually used for cutting boards yeah wax for sure and Yanni is saying that it is also used for wooden tables and chairs it's a nice way to protect that good suggestion folks conditioning to it I know where to go if I need some yep I got some tips on that oh nice I got the Amazon pull it with all the different products that's gonna be a couple of wood stuff yeah there's more wood stuff to come all right cool and that is what we've been prototyping yeah that's about it all right let's go ahead and jump into this week's community makes every week we find a design that's out there in the community we 3D print it and do a time-lapse video on Tuesdays this week this one was found by PT keyboard projects going on uh Phil wanted a giant MX switch in this case container keyboard just to be on the theme with that you can check out John Park's build of those giant keys from a novel novel keys this is just a container so it doesn't actually click down but it is nicely themed like storage for 3D products out there so 3 part storage pops open like that and you can in the case of the video that the designer who made this they were just storing additional keyswitches on here so it's sort of meta just storing keyswitches inside of a giant keyswitch and I did see some of the pictures where he did actually fit an actual key in one of these so you can't have it like a have like an LED in there super simple just like a a normal switch and pop that open and it just clicks in like that and then these just wrap onto the side like that and you can just use this as a very nice container a giant key shaped container it does not click in or anything again just for show very nicely themed storage box this was designed by yeah I'll have to pull it up and get an opportunity to get links and stuff sorry this is on colds3d pulling up the nope they didn't copy do you want to copy that paste that in it's in your notes it's funny how a google docs slows down when I'm trying to get the link here alright so this was found on colds3d you check it out this was designed by the creator here or orio oriel matching on colds3d so this is a paid download I think it's a paid download so you can check that out support the artist for doing their work and trying to load his page here we go orielo matching has a couple other kind of keyboard projects too so you can check those out but shout out to you for creating this cool design and now here's some photos of it yeah what I like about it all of the little intricacies that are on a key switch he managed to blow up like all the little cutaways and of course a little slot there for the LED and these are real things that you can buy from novelty keys JP and Colin have a learn guide I think in progress from JP a learn guide from Colin I think is already out there so you can search if you do want a real one there are real indeed you can purchase one they are JP's giant there it is Colin did a three key one with three of them and he made a little stand for it but these are real keys that you can get and JP I think managed to find a kale version of it I think was it a kale version but yeah these are a cutie pie inside so check out JP's last Thursdays build and of course we're now getting suggestions for having the giant key a cat key nubbins mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm we'll see what we cook up with the key cap with the key paws alright Colin I think that's it for this week's community mix now there's a list of them here so let me pull them out alright so across the web folks are tagging us with their makes sometimes on thing or sometimes on twitter and other places this week we have a user by lawyers we're lawyers posted up their make of our Kingdom Hearts Keyblade so this is a really fun prop from Kingdom Hearts wow I like that handle gorgeous the shiny we use no finishing here this is just filament that's silky you can make some really phenomenal looking props without any post processing that's sort of my jam I really like to do that I'm all for post processing for folks to do it but for me personally it's nice when you don't have to so really nice man that's gorgeous super super excellent do they list what filament they use for that handle no a lot of folks don't post anything but that's fine I just like that they posted it the mystery is out there so it's a mystery man alright let's do another one here how's the audio is it okay it's okay alright this one is a halo energy sword this was posted up by Claude's back and this is our 3d printed version of the halo energy sword from the video game series halo so here we go it's all 3d printed the blades are 3d printed the neopixels are more and there's a little note here so let's read it it has a lot of issues with coding you have to install both the zip file and the additional libraries make sure to update the leds the direction of the data flow should be the same unlike the picture reference using 5mm slim leds as the 10mm didn't fit make sure your feather board is the unassembled one as the one with pens pre-installed causes some issues I've had to correct the terminal position on the battery it was also in the pictures other than that it was a fun build excellent you can hear it but yeah you can make your own halo energy sword as steels are out there for you and there's a learned guide as well the last second third to last is another thing we're supposed to hear this is a make of the 16 by 16 neopixel square display you might see it there in the background this looks like it still has a little bit to go but it was printed on a printer of their own construction by V. Wagner on Thingiverse thank you V. Wagner for sharing your progress of the 60 by 16 this one didn't quite make it as a learned guide but I went ahead and uploaded the files anyway because I felt folks would build it and they did so I'm really happy about that and then the second to the last one is this multi pass by Stuart super awesome this just came to us in the morning so a huge shout out to Stuart for posting this video of his custom Vax build there with the video here it has a built in OLED it's using a neopixel jewel and a cutie pie I think that's the same D version but yeah it's super excellent and he even has some laser cut acrylic man this thing is super dope and his comment was perfect he says I hope it's not too busy and flossed in paradise watch the fifth element you know I'd be talking about really cool to see the inverted mugshot too it's so like perfect look at the little details Ada from the Citibesa for the credit cards so good Stuart Dallas too Stuart Dallas and it has some buttons I think too with an extra LED so much detail so much ah it's so good but yeah I think it's a, I'm not sure it's a remix of the multi pass that we did a time lapse on I'm not sure if it is but maybe it is cool if it's not it's all good so shout out to Stuart for sharing that I hope to see that on the show and tell or something cool and then I have another the last one here is actually a blog post so let's see this one this was posted by Flavio of Dev on Thingiverse, Flavio Fernandez posted this up, sorry there's the link there so printed out the case and used the conductive filament as well so very very cool and he is using it as a what's called the insertion okay cool and there's a a GitHub page for the project if you want to check it out but it's on the Adafruit blog already I hope people are saying that they cannot see your screen I'm seeing it here on Twitch maybe when you went full screen yeah probably when I went full screen it's fine okay so that's this week's community mage, thank you everybody for posting your mage super fun to see everybody post this stuff and if you have something you'd like to share with us you can tag us on any of the social channels or on Discord there's a nice spot there for show and telling and that would be a good spot to you know to talk about tonight's show and tell so tonight we invite you to show and tell it's happening at 7.30pm you can hang out in the Discord server where we'll get a link for the stream yard and then you can join the stream yard but click it on the link all ser games you can do projects, working projects, work in progress maker spaces Threat Show gear, all that stuff's fun really fun time so we invite you to come on and hope you're feeling it and then asking engineers starts at 8pm you just have shortly after what you want to tell it's a full hour of Lamar and Phil talking about all of the on goings on in the maker community the events that are coming back online as everything is opening back up we're right at the end of the light tunnel now everything is getting back to normal slowly but surely and then all of the brand new products coming out as well later tonight so stick around for that and I think there is also coupon codes back at Ask an Engineer so definitely tune in for that yeah it's just like the old days put your orders in on Wednesday nights those are the best right and then tomorrow we got a JP's workshop every Thursday at 4pm join JP does live building answering questions and looking back at some of the things that happened in the week is he back I think so you're sure before he goes on vacation thank you subscribe to via discord there's a group that you can join and get alerted when Scott changes his deep dives it's not always changing you can like subscribe externally somehow thank you alright and then Sundays start with Lady Aida from the desk of Lady Aida live streaming on late night Sundays great search with digikey segments and all the secret toxic stuff all the prototypes that she's working on other upcoming projects and products Tuesdays is JP's product pick of the week I forgot Mondays Mondays are certified on meetings at 2pm Easter time normal on Mondays if there's a US holiday on a Monday it'll follow on the proceeding day but Tuesday and then JP's on Tuesday for sure alright you've been watching 3D Hangouts every Wednesday with me no way and yeah so tonight we'll do the thing and we're looping back around so hang out in the discord server while I guess we're breathed alright guys and that's gonna be it for 3D Hangouts yeah thank you so much folks good luck with all your maker endeavors I encourage you to come on tonight's show and tell but until then, remember to make a great day, bye folks see you later tonight
