What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here's me some about Jeeperscreepers 4 again today Jeeperscreepers You're born you're gonna go over the creepers new look the image that came out earlier today courtesy of If not earlier today, I think it was yesterday. Maybe earlier today courtesy of Matt Barkley over on Instagram His page is private, but I'll make sure of course I show it in this video And of course if you follow me on Twitter and you've seen me talk about in the community section of this page You already saw it, but the other stuff we'll be talking about is related to the director of team over here in Swola I'm pretty sure I just botched that name He talked about the fact in a new interview recently that he did with terror weekend comm He talked about the fact that he has had no communication with Victor salva He's also had some updates on his journal of the project that he's been going through where he shared new images He also confirmed the title of those journals related to the working title of the project I've talked about Jeeperscreepers. You're born the working title was actually called going places and I'll just start off with the interview so he was asked how did he get into the project and he says he got the draft for the new Jeeperscreepers and it was under the working title of the time named going places and This came to him courtesy of one of the one of the producers from iron sky Who had met with the Jeeperscreepers were born producer Jake seal and he was looking for a director of a horror project But he didn't say anything about the name of it and then I guess as Timo was reading it he became He became just I guess excited over the fact that he realized that what he was reading was the next Jeeperscreepers Project potentially that landed in his lap So of course him being a fan of it as he explains in the interview. He had to jump on board the project He also talks about how he understands that Most of his other works have been science fiction while this is a little bit sci-fi in ways This is more so in the horror genre And he knows that there's certain different vibes and things you have to do here where you have to Make sure you are evoking fear terror shock and just going over how it makes it easier to create an atmosphere when you are going for those type of emotions, so He goes on to also say that he thinks the first trilogy or he was asked about the first trilogy he says he's always adored the original Jeeperscreepers because he thinks the creepers are unique monster and That the movies have huge amounts of horror But sometimes they're not totally serious and they allow moments of fun and managed to emerge as well those moments of fun We know we saw more so in Jeeperscreepers too with the creeper in the way. He was interacting with those kids on the bus. So The final question or one of the other questions related to Victor Savva He was asked did you speak with Victor Savva and his response was no do not speak to him at this time Or at any time as he is not involved with this project He also was asked will the creepers truck show up he confirmed that yes the creepers truck will show up So as you see on your screen here the images that he shared on his Journal site did include a shot of what looks like the creeper truck with a sheet over it So at some point I guess this could be how we find out where the creepers truck was during the events of the second film Why no one stumbled upon it until now I guess will be a question that goes unanswered not to say that when people stumble upon old bizarre random trucks That they always take them and do stuff with them, but You know those are some cool little tidbits from that interview I'll also leave a link to it in the description if you want to read this interview in full of the one Timo Just had recently these New images come in across your screen one was of the Wallace one was of the new house of pain One was of ocean the viral Working as whatever character her name will be in the film The other thing I wanted to talk about was Peter Brooke Peter Brooke recently Posted this image that you see here where he was talking about the fact of a new Interview was coming out soon For his character regarding jeepers creepers were born. We know we've gotten one already for the character of Chase We got one for the character of Lane from Sydney Craven and Emory and Adams now We should be expecting one from the character of Stu as portrayed by Peter Brooke and I will say that my guess is probably that if it's not coming tomorrow on Thursday It'll come sometime of course in the next week or so But I'm just going off of that off of the trend I guess they might be trying to go with releasing stuff on Thursdays at noon And of course, we'll know for sure when we get that random email saying that something's coming because that usually they send us Emails, but they didn't do it with the last one I think they waited until the interview was actually posted with Emory and Adams But the other thing we need to talk about was of course the creeper image now So as you see here on your screen, this is Matt Barkley standing next to What can I what I can only assume is Ja Rule Benjamin in full creeper makeup now This is the best image that we've had so far of the creeper in my opinion Of course, I'm on the same boat with all every one of you for the most part Jonathan Breck's design and the original design will always be superior But this design here doesn't look too bad with the proper context and seeing that they are gonna I guess darken the appearance a bit is not gonna be that brownish look that we thought we were gonna have now What I can also add is that maybe his look will change as the film progresses for whatever reason Maybe it just grows darker from that brownish tone that it starts off with but I just hope it doesn't start off Looking brown at all whatsoever Ja Rule Benjamin looks great. The makeup looks I would say decent enough It's acceptable on on my and I think it looked acceptable the wishmaster jokes. Those are still welcome. I get it But this is like honestly if you're going with the rebirth theme If they're just trying to be very literal with this and take it to the next level I guess having a new look would be the next thing Not just looking the same you did 23 years ago. So the other thing of course with this look is that Whether or not this is Jonathan Breck or not I feel as though it wouldn't have mattered if we got Jonathan Breck back They would have given him the same makeup that they gave Ja Rule Benjamin now what the makeup have looked cooler on Jonathan Breck I am gonna be a little bit honest and say that I am curious to know how this makeup would have looked on Jonathan Breck, but of course the design just like how Jonathan Breck's design was different in the third film It was just gonna be a different design altogether from the get-go That's just my honest opinion on it because the design was different in the third film The design was similar in the second film outside of just you know the fact instead of being gray It was dark and tarnished, but Ja Rule Benjamin this image of the creeper a little bit more context to it It doesn't look that bad and honestly if they're going to be Making him look more blacker similar to how he looked in the first and second film. I'm fine with this look I'm fine with this look for now. I do know that there are better shots of the creeper that maybe I'll get to talk about in the future I haven't seen them yet But maybe the person who's told me about them will share them with me at some point I'll talk about them on the channel once the movie's been released apparently There's another shot of the creeper that's just far superior to this where he looks even better But let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section Of course make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications never miss a video in the description I have links to my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course some as any movies news or views lively to cover in the future and with all that in My guys, I will see you in the next video

in New York, it's our anime show, Ask an Engineer. Get into the EVA, Shinji. Okay, so it's me, Lady Aida, with me, Mr. Lady Aida, also known as anime characters. Yeah, I was playing around with one of those photo filters and I'm like, well, I should show the software. This is what we look like when we go through the anime filters. I should be bigger, no? I don't know, maybe they're pretty big. Again, I'm excited to show you tonight about one hour of the latest news and updates in the Mac, Maker, Hacker, Engineering, Software, Coding, 3D printing, et cetera, et cetera, communities. A lot of good stuff going on. It's just me and Phil here at the Aidaford Factory, which is why we are not doing mass. I'm gonna talk about that. I'm gonna talk about that. Some people ask. I'm just like, there's a lot of content on this tight show, including videos, products, updates, and more, Mr. Lady Aida, please take it away. Tell them what's on tight show. Yeah, on tonight's show, the code is holoji, it's just the beginning of the word hologram. So holoji is a code, 10% off in the Aidaford store, all the way up to 11.59 p.m. tonight, or if I fall asleep before that, you probably get the code a little bit longer. I'm gonna talk about some of the updates that's going on in New York City. We're gonna talk about Aidaford Live series of shows, including Show and Tell. We just did the Show and Tell a few moments ago. Time traveler, look around in the world of Makers, Hackers, Artists, Engineers. We have a big Aidaford IO update, some videos, and more. We brought back from the mailbag, so we'll read some of your letters and more that you send to us. We have some main New York City factory footage, things that are going around here, inside Aidaford, and also out the window. 3D printing, some videos from Noam Pedro and more. Everyone's favorite segment, IRMPI, with DigiKey and Aidaford this week. It's in Syrian. Got some new products. We got a bunch of top secret. We're gonna answer your questions and we're gonna do that over on Discord where we're celebrating 33,000 people. Another big milestone. We do that on aidaford.it or you can go to discord.gg slash aidaford. Join us over there. It's 24-7 Hacker Maker Space that anyone is invited to. We have moderators. It's super fun, super safe, and it's a good place. All that and more on, you guessed it, Ask an Engineer. All right, Aida. Well, first up, things are changing here in New York City. We're talking to our team, real time always. It's an hour by hour. Yeah, so January was really tough. It was a year long. And basically, the Omicron variant took over everywhere. But today, the governor announced the indoor mask or vaccine requirement is over starting tomorrow. So businesses can choose what they wanna do. Our team right now, we're gonna keep wearing masks for now but we're gonna chat together. We have the ability to make deliberate, smart decisions together. And that's the way we run here at Aidaford, so that's what we're gonna do. But just so folks know what's happening in New York, you still have to wear a mask on subways or certain things like state regulated healthcare locations. You name it, like schools, they're trying to figure out what they're gonna do with that after the winter break. So good news. The positivity rate has been really low in New York. Aidaford's been doing really good. I'm looking forward to not having to wear a mask as well. We live together and there's no one else here right now that's why we're not wearing a mask. And we also can get rid of these graphics with all the characters with masks on. We've been doing it for a while to help encourage it and then also just let everyone know what we've been doing. Other businesses have asked like, how are you navigating all this? So anyways, we're looking forward to it and we're thankful for all of y'all who's been supporting us over the last two plus years during this. So looking forward to seeing some of you in person soon too. So the code is L-O-G, L-O-G, Holog. Holog? Holog. You can pronounce it any way you want but you get free stuff at aidafruit.com slash free. That's right, free stuff. We've got $99 Perma Proto, half size, breadboard, PCVs available. One for nine or more. You'll get a free STEM IQT board. We've got a whole bunch of different sensors available. If we can get them, they're available and in stock you can have them shipped to you for free. One different one each order if you make an account or make sure you get a different one each time. $199 or more, you get free UPS ground shipping in the Continental United States. It's trackable. It's good quality. It's good shipping free with your order $199 or more.  Probably didn't even have more this year because it is time. Our live series shows on Wednesday nights. We just did that, 730, next week JP's hosting but we did it this week and watched the whole thing. But just a couple highlights. Kevin from DigiKey stopped by and there is a new DigiKey Hackaday 2022 calendar. You'll get one if you just like watch their site. I think it's digikey.com slash calendar. I think we're doing a bunch of giveaways. And then Lee stopped by and talked about the Misty Awards and those are for people that are doing really cool stuff in IoT. We're helping out. A lot of our friends are judges and more. Sherry, who founder of MakerFair, Janet, friend of ours, hardware engineer. So it's all good company and more. And so if you use Adafruit stuff or Adafruit I.O. You can nominate yourself. You can also nominate companies or people you know that are doing cool things in the IoT space. And this is one of the ones that we looked into and we like this. So go check it out. We'll drop a link in the chat as well. We also do, Desk of Lady Aida. That was on Sunday and Lady Aida, we have it in two parts. First part, you were showing stuff on your desk. What did you show off this week? This week I showed off a demo of Whipper Snapper I.O. And I also showed that we have been doing more floppy hacking. I'm reading Mac 400K, 100K disks. We refactored the floppy code to use timers. I really liked doing the BitBang stuff but we thought it could be affecting some of the Mac diskette readings. So we really wanted to do a better job at that. And we're doing as good as you can now. And we also uploaded some images to archive.org and you can play them in the emulator. So it's fun times. We also have some videos.   And then we do this segment called The Great Search. It's a lot of fun, sort of, because you need to find stuff and there's not stuff on planet Earth. So this segment we do Lady Aida's Repower of Engineering to show you how to find stuff on digikey.com. What did you show to find, or how to find this week? Okay, so this week, oh, I showed how to, okay, so we've got these laptop floppy drives that you can't really get desktop floppy drives but you can kind of sort of get laptop floppy drives but they have a 26 pin, one millimeter FPC connector and I wanted to show how to get and you can find on digikey and stock FPC cables of like any pitch and length and I got the right ones and the matching connector that will let me prototype my floppy interface board for the 26 pin, one millimeter pitch laptop floppy drives. But I did get the floppy drives working and they work, you know, they're smaller but they work just fine. So hopefully we'll be able to stock those in the shop because those are the ones that I can actually get. All right, and every single Tuesday we do JP's product pick of the week. Check out this week's highlight. Watch it live every Tuesday because you get the discount inside the product page itself, take it away JP. It is the LED arcade button, one by four board. Imagine hooking up arcade buttons before this. It was a lot of wiring. You have four wires per button with these lighted buttons because you've got the switch and you've got the LED. This drives the LEDs with PWM. This reads the switches. So the seesaw chip takes care of all the digital IO on this board and then it just is receiving and sending messages back and forth to your microcontroller over STEMI QT. I have this here. This is a little button box. I've connected them up to another of these arcade button boards and then I just have my little STEMI QT cable running there. When I press any of these buttons here we get them to light up and the first set those are still working as well. It is the LED arcade button one by four STEMI QT based seesaw board that requires no soldering to hook up your lighted arcade buttons to your project. Okay and then JP's workshop is tomorrow and here's a special preview of some of the stuff JP's doing. It's kind of full circle. We had someone on the show until not last week but the week before and they said, oh Phil I saw you at an event like 20 years ago almost. Nome Dex I think it was and I had a rotary cell phone and now we're playing around with rotary phones as HID devices and a rotary phone is not a weirdo Xbox controller folks. It's a way that it could be now. It's a way it was a way that we communicated with telephones. It was super weird but now you can use it as a device. So here's a quick demo that JP did and during JP's workshop there is circuit Python Parsec. I normally play a snippet. This one's a little long this week so I'm not gonna play it. You can watch the highlight on any of the social media platforms of the platforms and then you of course can watch it during JP's show on Friday at 5 p.m. Eastern 2 p.m. Pacific. You can watch Deep Dive with Scott. Scott will be doing the deep dives for a little bit longer and then it'll be Tim a foamy guy and you'll be able to tune in. We're gonna continue it and more as Scott takes time off. Speaking of time. Time travel. Speaking of time. Speaking of time. See what I did there? That was nice. We have some things that are going on in the world of makers, hackers, arts engineers, things that we're spotlighting on our website right now. Please, please, please check out our Black History Month section on our website. We have posts every single day and there's a lot of folks that we put in the spotlight and more of today's posts. Dr. Carter was one of the folks who decided to write about Black History and that became Black History Month. If you want to, you can check out the category itself, lots of inventors, lots of scientists, lots of engineers, lots of unsung heroes and more do check that out on our site. That's right. Next up. We've been doing an entire retro series of stuff. So what I'm probably gonna do is have a little bit of a segment in our time travel thing that we can like slice and show because some of these are worth discussing. It's interesting. And then some of them are just beautiful photos. So I'm gonna go through these really quick. This is not a CD. This is actually a laser disc of the movie Hackers from MGM. And this was a special widescreen edition. So you can check out those photos. There's a bunch of like interesting things on the laser disc itself. This is a somewhat unreleased Apple product. It was a set top box. And this one came from, I believe, a hotel. And there's like PowerPC inside of it. It's the old Apple logo. And the idea was Apple would be delivering a set top box. Now they have Apple TV now, but this is one of the OG's original gadgets that Apple was working on. And we have the photos underneath it. There's a sticker about all the patents it has. It's a SCSI connector, like all TV set top boxes should. Like the old Square SCSI too, like the PowerBook SCSI. And then some folks are familiar with the Apple Newton, but you might not be familiar with the clear Apple Newton. This was a special one that they only gave to developers back when the Apple Newton came out. I think this is from 1993. And this was yours? Yeah, do you want to go? I had one. I was an Apple Newton developer. And this is another one that I got after I unfortunately left one behind, but I got another one back. So this is from the collection from the Adafruit Museum here. This one we've had a few years, but we wanted to take photos of it and we did. Apple stuff is a lot of fun to take photos of because people assume it's like some weird Apple phone that's about to come out. These are Apple designed speakers. This is when everything was beige. I think this was the back. This is a very like beige, like, oh, these actually are like real speakers though. Yeah, they're real speakers. People still have these. And then this one's really neat because Microsoft just bought Bungie.  Or no, was it Sony who bought Bungie? Yes, Sony who bought Bungie. I don't remember. Microsoft bought Blizzard. So this is the Pippin. This is a Bandai, Bandi. Bandai. Bandai and Apple team up. And it's a console that was only in Japan. And we have one in its box here at the Adafruit Museum of Retro Technology. And a lot of the reason we put this stuff is we want folks, especially when you, a lot of people use our stuff to prototype things.  But sometimes you need to see things from the past. So one, you don't make the same mistakes. Or two, you get some good ideas. And as some folks notice, they said, hey, this has a power PC in it. It looks kind of familiar. Even the logo looks a little familiar. So we put that together. Look at this, it's literally the same green and pink. Yeah, it's like there's a vibe that Apple had at the time. And then we took some photos of the packaging of the QuickCam. And this is this really neat triangular packaging. This is when the first grayscale camera came out. This is a round Sony Bluetooth speaker, which is completely unusable at this time, but I will get it to work. I love that. Once in years, yeah. Yeah. And then this is interesting. We're gonna take some photos of it. This is the outside of the box. On the left, you see here, Panasonic had these amazing radios and round devices in for Donnie Darko fans the very end during the little music video that they have, they have one of these. But you have to be like a super fan who's seen it a billion times. That's like a pretty intense. It's really intense. But you know, set designers and stuff love to put in weird props and stuff like that.  And this is exactly up Donnie Darko's alley. And then here's Vance with, this is the ASCII keyboard. This is right before we were taking photos of it. This is a Japan only keyboard that works with the Nintendo cube just for like one game. So you could type in a bunch of stuff.  Yeah. It's like the bat matrix. It's like the bat keyboard. We'll have a bunch of stuff and more. So that's a little bit of an overview. We'll talk about some of these things as we publish them. We do it every day on social media across all the places. We're going to be shipping March, April-ish part shortage and supply chain and you name it has a delayed eight of box but we switched it to season. So it doesn't matter. We think we're going to catch this, the end of the winter timeline. And if you haven't already signed up to be notified because we are full with the number of slots right now. So go to eight of box.com and we'll be shipping out soon. It is going to be a massive amazing eight of box. That's all I can say about it. Adafruit IO, we have a couple things this week. I'm going to play the video, the BME video that you did and a little update with Whippersnapper and then we're going to talk about some of the stuff on Adafruit IO. Early data, what is this? Hey, I'm testing out my QDPI ESP32 S2. This is the new board that we recently came out with. I'm kind of messing with the antenna. And here I've got a BME 280. This is a barometric pressure, humidity and temperature sensor. And we've added Whippersnapper Adafruit IO support for this plug and play sensor. So I don't have to write any code. I just plug it right in. I run the Whippersnapper for more on it. I'm going to use this computer here. You see my QDPI S2. And then I go over here to new component. Oh, I can do an iSport C scan. I see that the device shows up. I can add the components. I scroll down and now we've got BME 280. I select all the sensor data I want. 30 seconds. I don't want altitude and I create the component. And boom, I got data coming in. No code instant, less than 30 seconds. All right, and we made things way too easy. We know, sorry about that. But this is just one of the new things that you can do where it just works. You could just have the sensor and it starts logging. We want to basically have a way to get sensor data into Adafruit IO without having to write any code or YAML or configuration. Just like the data shows up to make it really, really easy for beginners. Also, it's a way of interfacing with sensors when you don't want to, you actually don't want to plot it or get it somehow. And then once you have it into Adafruit IO, of course, you can drag the data out and put it elsewhere. So we have three iSport C sensors supported so far and more coming. Yeah, and we have some other Adafruit IO updates. This is big news because we're doing a bunch right now. So you can check it out on our blog. The first one is a divider block. The block is an easy way to help you organize your dashboard, break it up a little bit. The second one, which I really like, is the battery block. So the battery block takes a value from zero to 100 and it displays a percentage left in the battery icon. So that means on Adafruit IO, you can essentially have a battery monitor real time telling you what's going on. And we also have a change with the site. It's a resizable toggle switch block that allows you to dynamically resize your blocks. So that's some of the stuff that we have going on. The blog post has more. Adafruit IO is free for everyone, but if you start using it like a ton and you wanna like run your business off it or more, we have a plus account and it's only like nine bucks a month. So check that out. And thank you for all the folks that support it. One of the things that we decided to do was not have a startup called Adafruit IO. We have the hardware that supports that. So that way you know that you're never gonna hear one day that, oh, Adafruit IO went out of business. Because- Or like got bought by- We didn't fake it till we made it or like get eyeballs. You're like log me in.com, yeah. That also means we're not like monetizing you and all that stuff. It actually happened to Xively. Do they still around? Who knows, man. Yeah, I don't know. So Adafruit IO has been around for a long time. We've been around forever. Adafruit hardware, your purchase is supported, but if you wanna do a pro account, we very much appreciate it as well, especially if you're moving a lot of data. Mailbag. Bring it back. So we're bringing back the mailbag. Oh yeah, packet, the mailbag. Yeah, I'll tell you why. Why? Because it was nice to get the weekly emails about hey, thanks for making face masks for doctors and like COVID this and COVID that. I kind of wanted to, I didn't wanna just have that as, cause there was a lot of it. And we send it to our team and everything. But so what we wanted to do is bring back mailbag but kind of just focus now on this next chapter, which is like making stuff. Yes. And so it was really nice. And we spent, we devote a lot of time to that, but you can only do so much on an electronic show. Yes. So this week's mailbag is just built a wood box with Adafruit animated eyes for my granddaughter. I wanna thank the Adafruit crew for creating fun projects that I can build for the man, her. I guess send photos if you want. We didn't ask for photos, kids. Thanks, that was from a grandfather. Thank you. And granddaughter. What a fun project. Yeah. All right. Circuit Python time. It's Python on hardware time, Lydia. There's a lot going on. Oh boy. We were just talking about this. There is a ginormous amount of projects with Circuit Python and MicroPython. So we try to cover it all. One thing we also put in Linuxy stuff cause Python runs on that. We also have Blinka. Blinka and MicroPython and generic Python stuff and Python language stuff. Sometimes other scripting languages too. Pretty much anything that, I think the Circuit Python team would like, I put in there. Yeah. I send to Ann. So we have the Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit. It's out of beta. Do check that out. We hit our 33,000 members on Discord. That's where we do a lot of development of Circuit Python live. And we have our weekly meetings every single week, Mondays at 2 p.m. Eastern where you can tune into exactly what's getting built and made and you can participate in it with Circuit Python. We have a pull request to add screen capabilities. Check that out if you wanted to have that on your Pi portal. You can play around with that now or we'll see it might be added. We have our 2022 wrap up. We get community feedback every single year. Scott put this together and we have a bunch. As I mentioned before, Scott has a deep dive this week. The Circuit Python show is starting soon. We did add this to the newsletter cause we think this is good news. Basically Intel is like, hey, we're going to do RISC-5 stuff. So. It's interesting. Yeah. Generally speaking, everyone agrees that we got to make chips like probably locally here in the US. So maybe this is the first step for RISC-5. We won't get tired of the hacker joke about like RISC is cool.  So like having an Intel core that is doing a lot but then has RISC-5. Like, you know, one of the things we were talking about, sorry, I was thinking about the Google phone that has like the wake up, like the voice wake up. Yeah, the wake word, yeah. And it's. They have a little chip that just does that. They have a little chip that just does wake word stuff. So it's like, I'm thinking like, if Intel's going to get into AI stuff, you might have like the beginning of the sensor stuff or the AI stuff being handled by the RISC-5. And then if it thinks that there's some data that needs more processing, it can wake up the main core. So it actually makes a lot of sense to me to have like your BIOS not necessarily part of the main processor. So we'll say, you know, as always, we're interested in like having full USB support so we could just sort of Python stuff. We've done co-processor stuff where we have like a SAMD and then we have an ESP32. So it'd be nice to kind of have something for makers and for people building stuff. They could learn a lot from Raspberry Pi Foundation who did the RP2040. That's right, Sloan Core. Eh-ho. I mean, it's on base. So you put that in there. This is project of the week. We talked about this on the show and tell. So you can check that out in the live demo of Wordle on a clue. And you can get clues on the clue for your Wordle on the clue. Upgrade your circuit Python version on the Raspberry Pi Pico without access to the boot cell button. And this was kind of a neat Daft Punk project. This is the word clock that plays the words of the time over on NYC Resistor. And a whole bunch of stuff. The newsletter is Gigantic. Please sign up, Adafruit Daily. I have one video that I wanna show. This is the Pi Leap video and then I'm gonna show one last thing. So Pi Leap is our new app. You can check it out in the app store. This is a video that Trevor made and then I have one thing and then we'll move on to the next segment. Hey, this is Trevor and I'm here to show you our new Pi Leap update. We are currently in the process of adding the Adafruit clue NRF 52A40 to our Pi Leap app. So right here I have two products ready to go. I have a NeoPixel rainbow animation and I have a blink animation. So let's try them out really quickly. So right here we have our project card and we'll send over our project bundle. All right and just like that, we have rainbows and let's try out the blink animation. There you have it. It's blinking purple and pink. All right and also we made it so that you can check out the learn guide for that specific demo within the app. All right, well, we'll have more updates coming soon. Thank you. See you soon. Okay and then if you go to circuitpython.org slash downloads you will see we have 277 boards. There's so many boards that have been added that I didn't get a chance to show this cool graphic that we made because we're like, hey, we just passed 256 so. That's cool because it's like more than LXFF. The problem is that we like blew past it. Yeah, yeah. So that's good news. And then last up we have a special section on Adafruit that's kind of in this, it's not well known yet, but it will be soon we think and you can go to it and see some socks. So these are nice fricking techie socks and we're poking fun at NFTs a little bit because. We also like socks. So yeah, so we added these. So these are Digikey socks. These are floppy socks. These are Red Hat from the podcast Command Line Heroes, Haxter socks, Python socks with a VS code, Gamer socks with a little bit of cursing, sorry.  And another set of floppy socks. Yeah, and I'll show some of these socks later on in the show, but you know, if we're gonna get accused of doing NFTs, we don't. We're at least gonna have a gallery of fun things with socks. Nice floppy socks. Yeah, we're gonna do that. And if you want, you can get the newsletter. Just go to AdafruitDaily.com, sign up. We don't spam you or do anything like that. And that is Python on hardware news this week. Thank you, Blinka. Okay, we're an open source hardware company. To prove it, we certify our hardware and da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. We hit 500. Not only do we hit 500, but we hit 500 first. So we are the number one certified open source hardware company in the world. And so that is interesting to us and maybe you. And only us. Yeah, and our customers and community. But it's a weird thing to do and to know because we were late to certifying our hardware because we were making so much hardware. And so Eva, who has been working on this for the last two years, and the folks at Oshawa who made the API that made it easy for us to certify our hardware. So what does this mean? What does this mean? What does this mean? And I guess the best way to say this is sometimes companies say they're doing open source. I'm doing open source hardware, but they're actually not. And there is one way to know for sure. There is a certification. There is a agreed upon definition now. And basically you put your file somewhere. You put your code somewhere. You put the files under a license. You put your code under a license. That's open source. At the end, it has to be available. And so we did that at least 500 times. So what does that mean? If a meteor hits Adafruit, don't worry. The code and the hardware is always out there. But the best thing is we're watching people build and build and build on top of all the stuff we released. The Circuit Python boards, there's over 250. Most of those boards are not from Adafruit. They're built often using the schematics and they use a code and they use the board files and they re-spin and they make their own versions. There's thousands of different feathers out there now. It's because you get more than you give when you put it out in the world. And so that's why we decided to do it. We're always told this, how could you do that? Aren't you worried about counterfeits? No, that's not a problem. People keep saying that. It isn't a business issue. Apple has counterfeit problems and they're closed source. That's not ever the reason that you're gonna have a problem. It's annoying maybe. But anyways, thanks Eva for this. And if you wanna check it out, go to ashua.org. Check out certifications, type Adafruit and you can see all 500. On top of that, we have 2,621 boards. Lady Aida, what is on the big board this week? Okay, new guide, we've got an updated guide. Carter updated the Raspberry Pi care and troubleshooting. We actually have a bit of a conundrum. Maybe people from the community can figure out why folks who install Octoprint seem to be bricking their pies more than any other group. Every time somebody's like, hey, my pie doesn't work at all and doesn't boot, it's always like, I just tried to install Octoprint and it does not make any sense to us. But it could also be a red herring. But if anyone here has any idea what it could be, I'm going to try to figure it out. But maybe this is something somebody knows. I'm not part of the Octoprint community. So it's an updated guide. Other guides? Other guides, we've got some new guides. Isaac wrote up how to program circuit playground wirelessly and basically circuit python blue fruit capable boards. If it has a Nordic NRF 52-840 in it, we can program it wirelessly thanks to Glider. So check out that guide, it's step by step. It's very easy and we support circuit play ground blue fruit and the clue board at least. We've also got the three button foot switch which is like a DIY open source foot switch with three switches in it. And we'll have a little video to go with that. Eva put together a Gherkin. She's working through all of the different kind of keyboard boards that we could build with the KB2040. She shows a Gherkin 30% here. It's good enough to play Whirtle. I don't know if it has a space bar or a turnkey.  And yeah, they're like three by 12, I think. Or three by 10. And then JP did the rotary dial keypad which is learning how to interface with a rotary dial on a phone in a way that you can rebuild it. You're not taking anything apart and breaking it. You can always put it back together. And then using it to emit HID keypad signals. So you can use it as a very slow data entry for numbers. All right, and before I do the next segment which is the Made in New York City factory footage, you know what's kind of cool? Because the United States right now is like, we need factories, we need people to make stuff. Like every couple of years it's like a thing. Oh yeah, hey, factory manufacturing. So what's neat is we don't have to make a website that says let's make stuff in the US. Let's make stuff here in New York. We actually do, and we have this segment that we do every single week. So if folks want to see what it's like to manufacture in the USA, boy do we got something for you. So here's the latest factory footage. The next few minutes are great. Yeah, you're gonna love this. And here is a nice sunny day. Outside our front window. Oh look, it's the sky. This is the Disney headquarters across the street. So, as seen on the Mandalorian book of Bubba Fett. Yeah, this is where they hide the Mandalorians. Yeah, all right. Yeah, 3D printing. Okay, we got two cool videos we're gonna show. The first one is the USB foot switch. And then the second one is a speed up. So we'll play those back to back and we will see you on the other side. Hey, what's up folks? In this video, we're making a USB foot switch with Circuit Python. We were inspired to make a new foot switch which could be really nice for young folks and even animals. For tasks that require both hands, we think using your feet can really help you do tasks much quicker. We designed and 3D printed a three button foot pedal that snap fits together. This project can be powered by either an 80-feet QDPie RP2040 or the KiVee 2040. Circuit Python makes USB HDD projects really easy to put together. You can customize the key codes and set up different keyboard shortcuts or media controls like play, pods and volume. The demo code is easily customizable for beginners and there's lots of example projects to get you started. With Circuit Python, you can quickly iterate your code and easily make changes on any computer with USB and a text editor. You can get the parts to build this project, links are in the description. The build features a swappable PCB mount so you can choose which microcontroller you want to use for your setup. The board snap fits into the PCB mount and stays secured without any hardware or adhesives. Be sure to check out the guide on the 80-feet learning system for a full tutorial on building this project. A micro switch is secured to a bracket using two long screws and gets panel mounted to the main base of the foot switch enclosure. We use quick connect cables so it's easy to plug into the terminals on the micro switches. The wires are soldered to the pins on the microcontroller. The board is inserted into the PCB mount at an angle with the corners fitting under these clips. The mount is then secured to the main base using hardware screws with all of the connections made. You can add additional 3.5mm TRS jacks for compatible AT switches like the ones from AT makers. The top covers can then be installed to the built-in hinges on the base. There's nubbins on the sides of the covers that are press-fitted into the dimples on the hinges. The micro switch features a bump actuator so it works really nicely without the need of any additional springs. We think having the ability to add AT switches is a really nice feature and folks can customize the design to add more. Additional rubber feet will make it grip to any hard surface and they just stick to the bottom of the case. We hope this inspires you to try out CircuitPython for your next USB controller project. Thanks a bunch for watching and be sure to subscribe for more projects from Adafruit. I do love a good Senseurion sensor. We've featured them a lot but ever since the SH-T10 these people have been rockin' out. They've been coming out with one great product after the other. This week is no different. It's part of a new series. It's the first of the Sen5X. It's the Sen54. It looks just like a particular sensor and you might be like, hey, is this just another PM25 sensor? There are so many of those and I'm like, yes, it does have a particular sensor but it also has other sensors available. This is the eval board version. There's basically two versions. One with the cables, one without. So the Sen54 or the Sen5X series it's kind of a four in one. It is a particular sensor but it also has a temperature and humidity sensor built in which most particular sensors don't have and on top of that it also has VOC and there's one model that has an NOX sensor as well. So two gas sensors, humidity and temperature which is kind of nice. It's all in one. It's got all the different data signals because there's multiple PM signals, there could be multiple VOC signals, humidity and temperature and it all comes out of one I squared C or UART port for very quick calibration and usage and I just love that it's like this little box. You have a cable, you plug it in and it's like kind of all of your sensing is taken care of and you're all sensing the same air at the same time so that's also kind of a nicety with this all-in-one sensor platform. So there's a few of these. The Sen 50 and the Sen 55 don't exist quite yet. The Sen 54 is what is currently available. That doesn't have the NOX sensor but it does have the VOC, the Volatile Organic Compound Sensor and it has the particulate matter and temperature and humidity. So just FYI, there's a family and we're only covering the Sen 54.  There's a laser particulate sensor. The gas sensor is an SGP 31 or 41. I can't remember the exact part number. And sorry, the SGP 41 is the gas sensor. The SHT 30 is the temperature and humidity sensor or I could have those numbers reversed. Either way, basically they took existing sensor sensors and popped them into the body and I can actually show that real fast on the overhead. Let me just autofocus here. So in this body you can kind of see, I took it apart so you can see the laser here and then over here if you look very carefully you can see this little white dot. That's the SGP 30 and that's the SHT 40 or 41 and then this is the laser sensor and if you look also really carefully you can see the little shiny square here. That's the particular sensor that looks for the reflections off of the laser to count and detect particles. Okay, so that's just a quick aside to show how it's put together. So it's in one box. You know, it's all, it's not fully enclosed. Of course there's a fan that'll pull air in but you can kind of put it at the outlet of a box that you have protected so you can have air come in and then it gets ejected out the side.  Like it's not going to, whatever air comes in isn't necessarily going to get your whole sensor dusty. It's just going to be that channel in the center there. There's also 3D modeling files that you can use if you want to model how this would fit into your, you know, HVAC system or your home air quality monitor or other indoor air quality monitoring. You will need a cable to connect to the sensor. There is power and ground that you need. So that's 5 volt power. That's pretty usual for particulate sensors because there's a fan. It's a 5 volt fan. And there's two data lines. The data lines can be either I-squared C, data and clock or they can be UART, RX and TX. And you actually get to pick because the fifth wire is the interface selection. You pull ground for I-squared C and pull high for UART. I don't use I-squared C to be honest, but UART I'm imagining has very similar data output as most PM 2.5 sensors that kind of blast out once a second, you know, all the PM data encoded in this CRC binary hex data. There is lots of library code for this, which is really nice. So I was able to get this up and running very quickly because they wrote Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and, you know, generic embedded, you know, for whatever STM or NXP chip drivers and they just kind of work. So you don't have to bring up the boards and sensors by writing all that code yourself. They do have libraries and example codes ready to go, which is quite nice. There's even a BLE gadget library example, which I thought was really cool because it uses an ESP32 and then you just load the example sketch onto your ESP32 wire up to the main I-squared C port and you've got this, you know, you could use their app to read the sensor data. So let's go quickly to the overhead again and I can show it. So this is the sensor. Now, I'm not going to get proper readings, of course, because I've opened this up and so, like, it thinks that there's, like, all this particular matter and so just because there's no, the light is being, you know, messed up here a little bit, the lasers got stuff in between it. But you do see up here humidity, 19% temperature, 27 degrees, VOC 68. And if I breathe on it... It turns pink. Yeah, you'll see. The humidity starts going up quite a bit and the temperature is going to cool a couple of minutes and also probably the PM 2.5. PM 2.5, by the way, is going to be all messed up because it's exposed. But, you know, it's a nice all-in-one sensor. I mean, it's convenient for if you need to have your humidity and temperature and VOC, you know, you want to do air quality measurements, but you don't expose the entire body of your electronics. This kind of gives you this channel of exposure that is, you know, sort of separated from the rest of the electronics. And like I said, why there isn't a O-ring, necessarily, it's going to give you better ceiling than you'd probably do yourself while still exposing the air channel, which is, you know, from the fan here, you know, air comes in through this channel and then gets ejected out. So, you know, all-in-one, very convenient. And it uses the sensors you know and love, the SHT-40 and the SGP-30 and their particular sensor. Ready to go. You just need a cable, plug it in and you can use their Arduino or... Available on Digikey. We have a link in the chat and then also you can check out the short URL and the product number right there. There's also the eval kit that comes with cables. And you can buy it. There's a lot in stock, actually. A feature of products now. Yes. Being able to buy them. So, pick one up and that is IonMPI this week. On MPI. Okay, let's do the code. Yep. It's Hologi.  But don't pay full price.  Let's do new products. Yeah. All right. First up. Okay, we got some RFID blocking cards. You liked these. We saw these in a hacker box. I was like, yeah, we can get these packs of 10. We have vertical and horizontal style. This is the vertical style. So it slides in. It's got this cool hologram effect. This is the horizontal side. It slides from the side. They both work the same. They block RFID. They block NFC. You can get with this. Or you can get with that. You can go with this. Or you can go with that. I say, if you can get rainbows on things, do it. I do look at the rainbows. But I understand some people don't want rainbows. They do come in a pack of 10. It's inexpensive enough that we don't want to sell individual because of the packaging. That would be annoying. You can give them away. It's handy if you want to shield. Also, what could be good is if you want to keep your, if you have two access cards and you want to keep one from triggering. So they don't conflict. This is another side effect of these. But RFID blockers, great for privacy and security. Or maybe you want to practice. Also, if you're building wireless stuff and you want to practice, what happens if there's no signal? This is like a little mini Faraday cage. Works just as well. Next app. Next app. 34-pin, 2x17 IDC connectors. These are well known to me because they are used in Shugart 34-pin floppy drives. So I'm doing more floppy stuff and I'm going to need these connectors. So I thought I'd get them into the shop. If you're doing floppy stuff or something that just uses a 34-pin IDC, you're going to want these. You can solder them into a Perf board. You can use them with our IDC helpers and use them in a breadboard. The IDC helper thing, you will kind of spread the pins apart. Next app. We've got the smallest LED matrix possible. Yeah. Here's a quarter for comparison. So this is a... It could be any size. M2. It could be the size of a football field. It could be. It could also be the size of like, you know, kind of like a human hand. You want to show this... Yeah. Let me show it on the overhead. Overhead. Overhead. Because it's not that big. All right. Oh, wow. Look at this. Okay. So this is the LED demos. This is 64 by 64 pixels. I think it's... I don't know, like six inches or so. Maybe five inches on each side. This is the finest pitch you can get. I can't get them any smaller than this. So M2. Two millimeter pitch. I think I'm making an LED cube out of this, but if you just want a very small, but very high resolution display, it works with the matrix portal, of course. I just plug into the side here. Or any other board. It's basically just like any other Hub 75. But just small. Maybe you hold it up here because I have this like zoom in. Yeah, look at that. Yeah, and then like tilt it. It's like smaller than my face. Yeah. And this is very bright lights too. So just to give you an idea of what it looks like. Okay. Want to keep going? Yes. All right. Next up, more wireless stuff. Okay. You've got the wireless LEDs. Hold on. Let me get my demo set up. There's been a lot of... I'll show each one. So there's been a lot of folks that are using this for model making. They put them inside things. Cosplay. Cosplay. It is just super neat.  The photos of them with them off, of course, all look very similar. Right. So I kind of just did that. So there are two sizes. These are the smaller size. And I don't remember the exact measurements offhand, but they are in the technical specs. And they work with either the large or small ring. Just for the demo here. Yeah. This is cool. So when we QA these to make sure they're the right ones in the bags. Yeah. We don't have to take them out of the bags. I know. It's kind of... So these are the yellows. And they work about six inches away. The greens... The yellows are kind of the dimmest, I'll say. The greens and the blues and the whites are... That's a big old field. Brighter LEDs. So these are like the small LEDs. Small LEDs. And then these are the big ones. I do want to compare the two sizes so people see them. I think the larger ones, I might also get the packs of the larger ones. But I'll say that they're just... They're larger. They're tougher to fit into a small model. So depending on what you're using. So these are the small and large ones. They are a little bit different size. They're both... Looks like 222, which is what? 2.2 microhenries, probably. Sounds about right. But this one is just a bigger inductive coil. So I'll probably just pick up a little bit more current. That said, they're the same brightness. Looks like the larger ones will pick up the signal for a little bit more. Yeah. I had some clear building blocks. Not Lego. Not Lego. Not Lego. That I put them in and filmed. It was kind of cool. So that's a really good use of them. You can make glowing building blocks. So this is a good example. So yeah. So the larger ones, you can go... Like the small ones can go like maybe six inches. And the large ones can go maybe like 12 inches away. So we'll get the large ones as well. But the small ones, you know, if you're just building a smaller model and you don't care about having it work, you know, 10, 12 inches away from the coil. Yeah. These are good. So like, here's something fun.  But yeah. These fit into... Yeah. You can put one of these inside. The Lego? No. It's not a Lego. Sorry. The bricks... It's not a Lego. The bricks, compatible bricks. So every time... Yeah. The Lego, they don't... They email us. And I'm like... See, the large one doesn't fit. Yeah. This one... Well, you can put it in... You can put it on the side. You can put it... Maybe? Yeah. Anyway. But this one fits in both. Brick. Brick slots. Yeah. So you've got bricks. And then you can even put it in the... In the side slot of the bricks. Yeah. Okay. So now we know.  So anyways. There you go. They're cool. These are neat. Bricks dots. Okay. We learned a lot about bricks today. Okay. And when you go on the website... All different colors. All different colors. Okay. Great. Next up, stars show up beside you, lady. Our community, our customers. Our team is... This... The 10 digit display with I squared C, which makes it so handy. If you want to add like a calculator like display. That's daylight readable to your project. This is by... Now I've forgotten the name of the lab. Hold on. It's on the back of the board. It's something labs. It's Turing complete labs. Turing complete labs. Right. Sorry. I was going to say like twisted labs. Turing complete labs. So this is a... You know, it's a calculator display. It's got the digits. It's got like the memory and erase symbols and the negative sign. It's also got the commas that you can use if you want to have long digits that have comma separators, not just decimals. And it's got an I squared C driver chip. So you see here, it's... I'm not like individually toggling all those segments and pins because there's a lot of them. It's a pain. Instead, we use this I squared C chip underneath. So let me grab my... What do you want to show? I'm going to show a live demo by unplugging my matrix portal. All right. Lots of activity going on here. There's a lot of live demos this week. All right. Lots of stuff going on here, folks. Okay. Plug this in. Okay. So, yeah. So you can see... And it's very readable. So there's no backlight. Just FYI. So watch out for that. So not good for night reading unless you want to add a separate light on top. But for daylight, you know, it's going to read just fine because these are a very high contrast. And you get all the digits and you play with them. And then you can chain other I squared C devices. So it's a very convenient way to add, you know, daylight readable, numeric, large numeric digits to your... Okay. ...segment digits to your project. And... And there's our Arduino library that you can use. That is new products this week. Yay. Okay. Don't forget, if you're buying any of this stuff, use code holo g on the way out on checkout. Let's do questions. And then we're going to do top secret. Yeah. I just dropped from these LEDs. By questions. I mean, we'll do top secret. Then we'll do questions. Okay. So if you want to put your questions up on Discord, I got a couple of them ready to go. But let's hit some top secret. Hit it. Okay. So for top secret, we're going to do a couple of videos. Actually, three or four. We got a few videos. Yeah. So as you're lining up questions, we'll get to them right after this. So here's the first one. This first one is a TFT sample that we just got. Hi, lady. What is this?  You give it five volts power, and then you give it NTSC in. And what's a better NTSC generator than a Raspberry Pi Zero? We just soldered to these two wires here. I don't know if people remember this, but the Pi One at least had a TV spot. So black and yellow wire to RCA. And then I'm just testing it out by displaying some graphics on here using the command line and color and saturation look really good. So this is just a little bit of a revision. This little button lets it flip around. Just testing everything is working great. So this would be in the store shortly. Next up, if you like these long cats, you're really going to like these stem connectors that we got. Hi, lady. What is this? I'm testing two things at once because that's what engineers do, right? Like why test one thing at a time? So first, I'm testing out this new Feather Hazah ESP32 Feather V2 with a Pico module, which has eight megabytes of flash and two megabytes of PS RAM. So it's an upgrade to our very popular Feather ESP. And I'm also testing these really nice Stem-AQT cables that are extra long. I got this like 200, 300, and 400 millimeter long cables for Stem-AQT. And here's the cool thing. We saw this neat tweet that referenced having the data lines interleaved with the power lines to reduce crosstalk. So we tried that out for these nice PVC covered cables. And so far, these work really great. And then they're quite nice cables. So we'll have these in the store soon. OK, then we have three updates on the floppy stuff that we're doing. So some of the folks who are asking floppy questions, these videos might help you. We're going to play one after the other. If the other, don't worry. They're only minute each. So let's see you on the other side. Hi, lady. What is this? These are my floppy socks. And these are some Mac 400K, 800K, and another 400K floppy disc. So back to my floppy game. And we've got the Windows discettes all working really great. Those are all good MFM floppies. But the real challenge is the DCR 400K and 800K Macintosh floppies. Because I'm a Mac girl. So working a little bit on changing the timing of how we read flux pulses. I actually replaced everything with a capture peripheral. Phil B helped a lot with that. So doing capture peripheral and PWM waveform generation for flux pulses we can get. Better precision and also just like better handle lung pulses. It seems to help a little bit with improving reading the Mac GCR. Fluxes you can see I'm reading a clean 400K floppy here. All those sectors working out. I really do. What is this? Hello. Well, you know, we're still doing some floppy stuff. We're getting back into it. And a lot of people are always asking me, why don't you just use a USB floppy drive? And the answer is you can't when it has this little board attached. But if you replace that board with this super duper floppy flipper, you can convert this 26-pin cable that's on a laptop floppy disc. Which is what is in a USB floppy drive to your standard 34-pin sugar. So you could use it say with your grease weasel. Please support Emma Bear and pick up a grease weasel if you want to do floppy hacking. And then here's the board and I'm testing it with flux engine. And it works great. So this is cool because this is another source of, you know, brand new old stock floppy disc drives that you can get. And it will work with your standard 34-pin connector when you use that flipper. All right, what is this? I am making millions with Tom Snyder. This is a very early 1984 Mac, Mac Plus, you know, Mac 512K video game. It comes on a 400K floppy and I've got 400K floppies reading quite nicely now on flux engine with my hardware. So I grabbed the flux of this, generated a DSK, which is a standard file type, uploaded to internet archive and I set up all these flags, which means up here, you can click emulate it and it will actually load PCEJS. You can see my mom is very dusty. But this will load the game diskette and then you can actually play the game in your browser. And it was like a surprisingly well graphics made game for 1984. So do check it out. It's under internet archive under make-millions-snyder. And what's cool about this, we're checking this out. It's like a full on like magic capo essence. It's actually like a surprisingly good game from 1918. This guy was very, very talented. He did a lot of other stuff until his company was purchased by and then killed off by Scholastic.  So we're reading the Wikipedia page and Scholastic bought this company. And the PR person, Kyle Good, is the person I talked to when I was dealing with Scholastic, when Scholastic accidentally took a maker product from a maker and made their own version and said they didn't, but they did. And I was helping out Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories with this Bristlebott thing and the same guy. Because you remember a person's name. If you're in PR and your last name is Good, that's literally G-O-O-D. Yeah, that was just what so far. I was like, it's him again. They're like the best PR. They had the best PR people in the world. Anyways, so that's a little bit of a look at that. And then I also have the socks I was talking about in the section of our website. And then the new ones that just came in are these. Let's put these on the overhead. Okay, give me the socks. Nice, freaking technical socks. Look, you always wanted Oracle socks, didn't you? Oh, God. This is exactly from Larry Ellison. Yeah, two socks. Don't ask where his feet are. Only available in large sizes. Okay, and that's a top secret. I spent these questions. Yeah, we got some questions and we got some answers too. Yeah. So let's do some questions later. Let's do it. I'm going to get out of here. I'm going to do it. Okay, I'm going to answer this one really fast because it's just an easy one. I don't know what the product uses system means because it says this product uses system. I think it was their own internal thing. No, it's because it's a boot floppy. It has the system file embedded in it. Yeah, but I don't know. You don't have to swap the floppy. You can boot from that floppy. And that's their own thing that they made? No, no, no. It's distributed from Apple. Oh, I thought system was that interface that they made. No, system is system. That's the finder. Ah, okay. It has a built-in. You can boot from it, which is pretty cool because it's built into it. Okay. You don't need a separate boot desk. All right, lady and nurse. Okay, questions. A question inspired by the factory footage. What controls were the selective solder machine selectively soldered? In other words, when you're doing a whole board, why don't they create solder bridges all over the place? You program it. There's a little CAD program that it comes with, and you map out using the underneath camera where it should go. What do you think is a good, cheap, smart watt sensor? Well, I mean, if you just want to measure current and voltage, I like the INA 219, which we stock. It can measure voltage of current, and you just multiply them, and you get watts. Okay, so folks are trying to troubleshoot that octoprint thing. Do you think the problem is due to the SD card wear or something else going on?  The first thing they do is install Octopi, and then they're like, my board doesn't work. It's just weird. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but it's like people who are trying to install Octopint on their Pi's are the ones that are coming to us and saying, my Pi does not boot at all. Raspberry Pi usually work, so it's quite weird. Have you thought about producing a 5.25-inch FDC that mounts as a drive in Windows? Well, our Infra Floppy example does do that, so you can use it as one of the examples I did was showing how you use a 5.25 drive as a USB key, very large one, but you can do it. So the calculator display, I wanted to confirm, it's both 3.3 volts and 5 volts. Yes, there's a logic level shifter in there. It has a regulator. You can sort of see the regulator from the side. All right, next up. Can Adafruit Silla 3.2-inch ribbon cable screen without touch, as I'm not using touch for a project I'm making, and I think $30 even for the touch version is a bit much, and a 6-axis joystick like on the PS3. Well, the touch screen isn't much. The reason screen prices are ridiculous right now is because TFT and chips used in TFTs basically just shot up in price. They tripled in price basically overnight. So it might be a couple of weeks or months until the prices come back down to earth, but the touch screen is not what's so expensive on that. Yeah, next up. Are you planning to set up a museum or partner with some one? NYC is great for museums already. So here's the thing. I have a collection of all the arduinos, like the very beginning early ones. I have the Lady Aida collection of kits and electronics. Then we have a bunch of retro hardware. So I think what we'll do is we'll first have it here at Adafruit and then I'll probably find a place for it so more people can see it because obviously we're not going to have tons of tours or the public, but that would be ideal. I think one day the DIY electronics world will be interesting enough for it to be in a museum, but right now you could still use a lot of this stuff so it's not maybe ready for a museum, but I have the weird red arduino that there's only a few of, and I have the first invoice from Adafruit, and I have all of the electronics that you made, and we have the Zoxbox, and we have PCBs of the wave bubble. I think these are national treasures, but whatever. Next up, how is the ESP32 QDPI come along? Thank you for the ESP32 S2. I created a pull request to add board support on Platform IO. I hope that helps. Thank you for the pull request. The ESP32 Pico QDPI, the PCBs have been ordered and they're just being made. It just takes two to three weeks to get, because it's a four-layer board, so the PCBs aren't as fast. Usually, if I get two-layer boards, I get the main like a week or two, but four-layer boards take two to three weeks instead. Okay. Next up, cut that one. Is there a mountable mini HDMI mail to full-size HDMI female cable looking for one to integrate ports into a case for a Raspberry Pi and NAS project? I don't know a panel mount adapter or cable like that. We do have a couple panel mount things, but I don't remember. Whatever we've got is what we've got. For MTO, Richard Hardward, I need more. I have some gear that needs a good home. Just email ptatatorford.com and I'll let you know if it's something that we're looking for right now. We have some themes because we have to take photos in like it's New York, so we don't have a ton of space. So maybe we would say, hang on to it, and then send it to us when we're ready to take photos of it, or if it's something that fits in. But yeah, drop me a note. Question is, are there more information about theator for your museum, any place to view online? Yeah. So I'm going to drop a link if you ever want to see what's going on in it. For like our Flickr, we put everything there because it's photo storage. You can kind of see what we're about to publish. Either it is new products sometimes or even some of the things that we have photos that we're publishing for all this retro stuff. So check that out. Have you read Apple II C64 floppies? C64 we've done because you can read those, they're MFM, so you can just read them on, I think they are MFM. Ooh, now I can't remember. But they're at least single speed. They're triangular pulses, but they're single speed, sorry, triangular sectors, but they're single speed and we've successfully read them. And Jeffle even came up with a tool chain collection of tools you can use to create G64 files. You can run them in emulator. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, I don't remember the C64. Apple II is a little tougher. We think that you may have to use an Apple II drive. We're also looking at whether you could somehow use an off-the-shelf non-Apple II drive to talk to Apple II floppies because we're kind of bonkers like that. Okay, looks like this is the last question of the night. Is there Arduino ID support for ESP32 S3 yet? No, but it's not my problem. That's asbestos from go ask them. They're working on it. All right. And you can keep hanging out aderford.it.score, join all 33,000 of us. Congratulations, everyone. Thank you. You're making a good difference with folks. That's our show for tonight, everyone. Don't forget the code is hollow G. Thank you, everyone. In particular, thank you to the community, the customers, everyone who's helping out, all the moderators on Discord, especially things Jesse May, who's one of the leads in Aderford Community Sport Publishing, who's behind the scenes in our Slack channel, answering customers and questions and more and taking care of stuff. I think that is everything. A couple of questions came in. The last second, no any websites for rumors of new boards? Yeah, Aderford, we post some rumors of new boards sometimes. You can also check out our Discord. But I don't know where there's more industry gossip because there's a chip shortage. So there ain't a lot of chatting on the TMZ. They're pretty good. Yeah. Sonya, thank you, everyone, so much for supporting us during the last couple of years and more. Don't forget to use the code. We'll see everybody next week. Next week, J.P. is doing show and tell. We're doing Ask an Engineer. Have a fantastic week. Stay safe, everyone. This has been an Aderford production. Thanks, everybody. Here's your moment of zener.


Gotta go, gotta see things, see new places and brand new things, gotta go places and do things, maybe to forget it. What is up you guys, welcome back to another one, if you are new to the channel, I am GoldPotty, today we are in the new 2019 Subaru Forester per your request, because I always like making you guys happy, so as always you guys, let's start with pricing. And so there will be several different trim levels available for the 2019 Forester, first one being the base, that one is going to start at $24,295, then you have the premium for $26,695, the sport, which is the one we have today, that one starts at $28,795, limited starts at $30,795, and the touring for $34,295. And so, but regardless of trim level, the power plant on the 2019 Forester will actually be the same this year, let me explain. Powering this one is going to be a 2.5L horizontally opposed Subaru boxer engine, there is no turbocharged engine setup available for this year, that is one of the new changes, but power comes in at 182hp at 5,800rpm, 176lb-ft of torque available at 4,400rpm, power is going to be sent, of course, to all four wheels through Subaru's legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system, and that power is sent to the ground through a linear Tronic CVT, and another new change for this year, there is no manual transmission available for any of the trim levels for the 2019 Forester. But with that CVT, MPG numbers are going to come in at approximately 26 in the city, 33 on the highway using regular unleaded fuel being 87 octane, and there is an auto-start-stop system that contributes to that better fuel economy as well, of course. But before we do any kind of accelerations in this one, there are some driving modes available through Subaru's what they call an SI drive. And those driving modes include sports, sports-sharp and intelligent, and in the case of the Forester, they are actually located on the steering wheel. And they will adjust things like the shift points and the throttle response, so what do you say? Let's put it in that sports-sharp driving mode. Let's test out the paddle shifters and the acceleration on this one. And by the way, paddle shifters, if you're looking for them, come on the sport and the touring trim levels. So since we have the sport, we do, of course, have them, so let's do a quick little acceleration and let's see how quickly we can get the new 2019 Forester here up to speed. All right, so not the quickest acceleration, paddle shifters actually weren't all that bad. They did react pretty quickly, even though it's a CVT, still kind of cool that the paddle shifters are there. But in my humble opinion, I certainly wouldn't have minded that turbocharged engine setup for this year. But in the end, Subaru probably pulled it because most people are going with the more fuel-efficient engine setup, which is, again, the one that is offered for the 2019 Forester. But so then to go along with that acceleration, as always, braking is equally important. And so an interesting fact for you guys, braking will actually differ depending on the trim level that you go with. For instance, base trim level on premium trims are going to give you 11.6-inch ventilated front discs, 11.2-inch solid rear discs. However, if you want with the sport, limited or touring trim levels, those are going to give you 12.4-inch ventilated front discs and 11.2-inch ventilated rear discs. So actually a larger braking setup, so a little better braking if you go with the sport trim level and up. So let's do a quick little braking test here. Wow, definitely no issues there. Braking feel is excellent. And then to touch on the handling and suspension on the 2019 Forester, you will find a four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars. And there's actually active torque vectoring as well, which is going to increase your cornering abilities. And as far as the steering feel goes, it is as expected for the Forester, not too heavy, not too light. So I'd say it's right on point for this one. As far as ride quality goes, I've had no issues so far. But then again, I've been on pretty smooth roads so far, but definitely no issues there. And so then another thing I have to mention with this being a Subaru with the best all-wheel drive system out there is there is a system called X-Mode that Subaru has giving you some off-road driving modes, including of course normal, but also snow and dirt and deep snow and mud. And that's essentially just going to help send torque to the wheels to have the most traction, helping you of course better push through any kind of rough situation that you were in. And again, when you pair that with Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive system, you should definitely have no issues with going off-road in this one. When it comes to cabin noise, I am getting some wind noise coming into the cabin. It's really not all that bad, but it is there. But touching on visibility, visibility is definitely where it's at with the Forester. I can see perfectly fine. And due to its shape, you're definitely not going to have any issues. Really no blind zones when it comes to the Subaru Forester. But soon enough with the driving dynamics, you guys, let's check out the exterior of this redesigned 2019 Subaru Forester. And so to start up front, you will first see orange front bumper accents just because we have the sport trim level. That is going to be exclusive to this trim level we have today. To the sides, LED headlights will actually come standard on every single trim level. That's definitely nice. Steering responsive headlights are going to be found on the limited and touring trims. And if you go with the sport trim level and up, you will actually have fog lights just below there as well. Then make your way to the sides. Raised roof rails will come with the premium trim level and up, as well as rear privacy glass for those trims. And there are orange accented side skirts, again, specific to the sport trim level we have today. Then take a look at the side mirrors. There will be a black finish for the base trim level, body-colored finish for the premium trim level and up. And you will actually get integrated turn signals with the sport trim level and up there. Then take a look down at the wheel setup. 17 by 7 inch steel wheels will come with the base. 17 by 7 inch aluminum alloy wheels will come with the premium. And you will get bumped up to 18 by 7 inch aluminum alloy wheels that go with the sport, touring or limited trim levels. But make your way to the back on this one. Integrated rear brake light will come standard on every single trim level. Rear spoiler will come with that integrated brake light if you go with the premium and up. And there is a rear window wiper for every single trim level. And just below it all, single exhaust outlets.  Here is that exhaust clip. It's open now since we all round back to open that rear liftgate. There actually is a button on the key fob. So simply press that if you like. But it is actually a power liftgate if you go with the limited or touring trim levels. For the other trims, it's going to simply just unlock that rear liftgate. But once opened up, cargo capacity is going to come in at 35.4 cubic feet for the base. However, that is tailored down a little bit for every other trim level, pushing it down to an even 33 cubic feet. But if that was not enough space and you did not have any rear passengers, simply fold down those rear seats. That is going to bump it up to 70.9 cubic feet. Also did want to mention for every single trim level, there is some cargo area under floor storage, which is definitely convenient as well as grocery bag and tie down hooks back there. That's pretty cool. But premium trim leveling up is also going to give you a removable cargo tray area back there. But making our way to the rear leg room, that is going to come in at 39.4 inches. So for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. If you want a rear ventilation, that is going to come with the sport, limited and touring trim levels. And there are second row USB ports again for the sport trim leveling up and a rear center armrest with cup holders for the premium trim leveling up and heated rear seats if you went with the touring. Then make your way to the front. There are manually adjustable cloth seats with the base, 10 way power adjustable driver seat for the premium trim leveling up. And if you want with the sport trim leveling up, they are going to be heated front seats as well. Take a look up front. There is a tilt and telescoping steering wheel. It will come leather wrapped for premium trim levels and up and it will be heated if you went with the touring. But now let's get to the startup on this one. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You will find lock, unlock and that button to pop the rear hatch. And by the way, the unlock button is the Subaru logo in the middle there. It's pretty cool. But it does all actually key list access with a push button start if you go with the sport trim leveling up. So all I'm going to do is simply just put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee. But once started up, the tachometer is going to be on your left speedometer on your right. Those gauges will do a full sweep and they will be accented in orange again because we have the sport trim level today. But towards the bottom, you will find your trip information. Towards the top, you're going to find your average MPGs in any given time. And then there is a digital speed readout in the center there. But now let's make our way to overall interior quality. Dual zoom climate control will come with the limited and touring trim levels. Panoramic power moonroof is going to be standard on the premium trim level and up. That is letting in so much more light today. I got to love it. And there's going to be a ton of orange accents that you're looking at right now because we have the sport trim level today. Also did want to mention there are homelight controls available for up to three different garage doors and just above the tech display that I'm about to go over. There is another tech display that actually goes through a good bit including the day of the week, the date, outside temperature and there is a ton of different things you could scroll through up there as well. But like I said, let's make our way to the tech display on this one. 6.5 inch color touchscreen display will come with the base trim level, premium and sport. Therefore, that is what you are actually looking at right now. But if you want with the limited or touring trim levels that is going to bump that size up to an 8 inch color touchscreen display. Either way though, you will get Bluetooth and audio streaming Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Again, standard for every trim level. That's definitely nice. Factory navigation system is going to come with the touring trim and you can of course check out your radio settings as well up there. And by the way, when it comes to the sound system base trim level is going to give you 4 speakers, premium, sport and limited are going to give you 6 speakers and that touring trim level is actually going to give you a 9 speaker Harman Kardon sound system with 576 watts which is not the one we have today. We do have the sport trim level therefore we do have the 6 speakers so you guys know what we have to do next. Let's turn on the radio, see what we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this one. A ton of loudness, bass is as expected, definitely not too much bass but the loudness is definitely there, especially for the size of the Forester so pretty nice sound system for 6 speakers. So the last thing on the tech display I wanted to mention to you guys is when you do put the Forester in reverse you will have a rear view camera for every single trim level letting you know who or what is behind you which is always going to lead me into safety. And so there will be front side and side curtain airbags also up front a driver's knee airbag as well. In the back you are going to find latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats also rear child door locks back there tire pressure monitoring system will come standard also standard for every single trim level actually a Subaru iSight If you are not familiar with that what that is going to give you is adaptive cruise control a pre-collision braking system lane departure and sway warning as well as lane keep assist there is additional safety features as well depending on the trim level that you go with for instance the sport trim level enough is going to add high beam assist limited and touring is going to give you a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and by the way that is actually optional on the premium and sport if you wanted it on one of those trim levels and there is reverse automatic braking again standard with the touring but optional on the sport and limited trim levels and so that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and subscribe feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there and I will see you guys in the next video stay gold


For this week's Northwoods Adventure, Clayton Castle takes us inside the Franklin Arts Center, where woodland creatures are being created using a unique form of art. The snow is melting and the grass is getting greener, but a group of people spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the Franklin Arts Center in Brainerd, creating outdoor woodland creatures by felting. Well felting is causing wool fibers to tangle together. So what we're doing today is we're using especially barbed needle that grabs individual fibers and causes them to tangle to their neighbor. So we can create sculptural pieces or flat pieces. Today we're using them to create sculpture. Instructor Lisa Jordan has been felting since 2006 and is the director of the Cross Arts Alliance whose mission is to promote and enhance arts opportunities in the Central Lakes area through facilities, partnering and programming, programming like this, a class that allows people of all ages to explore the creative world of needle felting. The point of my classes is that they're coming in and getting the fun finished bunny, but what they're learning to do is build shapes, build flat shapes, build round shapes, connect them, blend colors, work over an armature so that they can take those skills and apply them to a future project. This class spent the afternoon learning how to felt and create a bunny for a finished product using a barbed needle that causes the fibers to come together. It's a complex art form, but one that is enjoyable to many. Now for people like Lisa, felting is more than just creating woodland creatures. It's also about expressing creativity through art. What does art mean to me? Art is life to me. I think it's, you know, we hear often that people consider art to be something you do when you have extra. You have extra time. You have extra money. And for me, it's a way of expression.  So you know, I would venture to say that sometimes felting can be more crafty than artsy, but it's still a means of communication and it's just really soothing and fun.
