Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back to another 3D Hangouts. My name is Noella Ruiz. I'm a designer here at Adafruit. Joining me every week is my brother Pedro. Hello. Good morning, everybody. Pedro, that's great to talk here. Adafruit, every week we're here to share 3D printed projects featuring electronics from Adafruit. That's right. There's a show where you combine 3D printing and DIY electronics to make inspirational projects. Hello, everybody hanging out in the Discord chat room. Welcome to the show. This is episode 417. It is Wednesday, October 11th, 2023. And we're hanging out. We have some fun projects, inspirations. With Tomlabs, Community Makes, a little bit of shop talk, all that and more on, you guessed it, 3D Hangouts. It's not Thursday, but it says it's Thursday. Oh, yeah, it used to be Thursday. Yeah, just a reminder. Anyway, hello, everybody, in the Discord chat room. If you'd like to join us in the Discord chat room, you can join us using the URL in the top banner, discord.gg, slash Adafruit. Take a moment here to welcome everybody. And then we'll run through the housekeeping. Shout outs to DJ Devin. Hello, all things, all the things. Andy Callaway, squid.jpg, hanging out. And everyone else on the five streaming channels on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitch. Newly known as X. Is that right? Yeah, I'm surprised this still works. All right, what you got, Pedro? Any thing that I miss? Nope, going through, making sure all the chat rooms are opened up, and, of course, I'm having loading issues. All right, well, if we need to, we can use StreamYards chat. They let you see all the chats, I think. There we go. I think everyone except LinkedIn and Twitter. All right, thanks, Andy Callaway. Hello, everyone. All right, thanks, Andy Callaway. Hello, we got a little repeat there. All right, I'm going to go ahead and jump into the housekeeping. We'll start off with the freebies that are going on this week. These automatically get added to your cart. They're different tiers. And let's go through them. If your order happens to be $99 or more, you'll get a free PCB coaster with a golden native logo. That's that lovely aluminum coaster. Good for all sorts of beverages. If your order is $149 or more, you'll get the free PCB coaster, plus an Adafruit KB2040. That's that lovely dev board over here on the right. And if your order is $199 or more, you get the free KB2040, the PCB coaster, and UPS ground shipping for continental US only. It's very nice. And then if your order is a whopping $299 or more, you get the free UPS ground shipping, KB2040 dev board, the PCB coaster, and not a Circuit Playground Express. I don't think. Maybe the image is out of date. You're supposed to get the Digi-Key NXP dev board. That's the Metro M7. I don't know who's right or wrong. Is the text wrong? Yeah, the text says Circuit Playground Express, but the photo shows an NXP. This is how you know your art show. I think it's the NXP. Because remember, Maro was saying that we have a thing with them. Yeah. So I think that's what that is, the NXP. Well, you'll have to let us know. Again, these get automatically added to your cart. And on top of that, you can use our coupon code Odyssey to get 10% off your total order. All right. There'll be another coupon code tomorrow as well on John Park's workshop. And later tonight on Ask an Engineer, and that is the housekeeping. This week, we have a new project that we're pretty excited about, heading on over to the Learn system. This got published a little bit in the evening of yesterday. It is a remake project of the iconic HAL 9000 from the classic movie 2001, A Space Odyssey. Which is why it's the coupon code. This is spearheaded from Philip Berges, Paint Your Dragon, Philby. He came up with this project idea way back when. When it was kind of hard to do these type of projects, I'll go ahead and pull it up on the Learn system. So Philby has been on a pair looking to remake classic projects from yesteryear and bring them into the modern with Circuit Python and the all new prop maker Feather RP2040. So he put this together. He designed it and he had it laser cut. And he used an Arduino and an Adafruit wave shield, which I don't think we're making anymore because the chips are kind of outdated for what you can do these days. Yeah. So in his guide, he has some SVG vector files that you can laser cut, have them sent. But it's definitely an assembly. It requires a couple of different pieces, label printer, if you want to make a label, spray paint, various screws. And he has it so that you can make it with just a battery to make it glow or adding sounds. There's a little bit of soldering required because you have to put together the wave shield, which you can't get anymore. So it just made a lot of sense to remake this project. Yeah. And the wave files, you know, like we didn't want to share recordings from the movie because we can run into some copyright issues. So we decided to use macOS's text to speech feature and just kind of record our own because that way we can get away with... We can avoid any copyright things. So we came up with the guide. Philby did the code in CircuitPython. It's just using a single board, no need for an Arduino shield. It's just the PropMaker Feather RP2040. These buttons are the biggest arcade buttons that we stock. They're massive. They're 100 millimeters in diameter. They come with a built-in LED that has a built-in resistor. And it's super satisfying to press. Super nice and chunky. Here's mine. It's the exact dimensions of Philby. He painstainingly referenced all of the dimensions and came up with this thing. Everything about this is 3D printed. Instead of spray painting the black bezel, we actually made it just a little cover that sticks on, press fits here. This is... The label is actually 3D printed. It uses the color swap filament technique. So there's just three filaments to create this nice label. Here's the back of it. It's pretty open so you can kind of see how it works. We got a PropMaker Feather here. Three watt speaker that's enclosed. Got a couple brackets in there to kind of suspend it. And then what I really like is that we're using the quick connect wires. These have these little spade connectors that make it easy to plug into these style of micro switches.  So there really isn't any soldering required. It's fully modular. Let's see what it says. It's puzzling. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. Perfect. So you get some pretty good volume out of it. The speaker grill here just press fits. You can easily pop it out from the back if you want. There you can see it. All of the parts are 3D printed in various filaments. You got the Sparkle Silver. You have this kind of nice sparkly black. And then of course the blue, black, and white colors here for the label. Yeah. The panels kind of slide into these grooves here. And then the three boxes are just bolted together with M3 screws and hex nuts. Yeah. No supports required. I think I said that. And I split the box into three so that it'll fit on most printers. I have an Ender 3 printer from Creelty. That seems to be kind of like the baseline bed. And no finishing on it. You could of course sand it down and finish it, spray paint it. But these days filament is nice and shiny and gives a good surface finish. You can get really good textures that look like sandblasted using a PEI textured bed. So that's what we used here. And yeah, it's just a good remake of a classic project from a very classic piece of cinema. That just stands up there. And let me make me smaller. And the guy just has all the parts here listed on the overview page. Just a handful of parts. Some extra bits like a power supply if you want to have it plugged into a wall. Some rubber feet, some M3 screws, M25 screws. And yeah, it's pretty simple to put it together. For the circuit diagram, it's really just plugging everything into the screw block terminals. That's what makes this such a great project to build because it's no soldering required. We have all the CAD files for folks, STLs. They're ready to print as is. You could send them off, I guess, to have them resin printed if you want a super nice quality surface finish. But you could always print them on your home printer if you have one. Here I'm walking through how to do the post-process plug-in in cura slicer to do a filament change. You're going to need two of those. And then you'll want to change it on layer three and layer seven. It's listed here. You could do it manually, but this makes it so that it'll actually pause the printer at the right layer. And it has some nice features that will run through the firmware of actually doing a filament change on your printer. These days, they do it pretty good. We'll retract and purge for you without having to manually do it.  So it's nice to have these plugins that are built into cura now. So that's really nice. Should put a warning thing on there that says, whoa, I'm getting double audio there. Uh-oh. A little post it right on your printer or on your computer that says filament change was enabled because the next print you have go and do, you're going to forget about it. Yeah, there's like a little warning. Oh yeah, I miss it every time. You miss it? Okay. Yeah, I almost missed it when I printed this scythe here.  And then we have the, if you just want like a 3D model of the prop maker feather for a very custom project, you can get the 3D model of just the board in that link to our GitHub repo. But that's kind of the gist of it. Minimum build volume is listed here, which is kind of important. If you have a smaller printer, you might want to take a look at that. Of course, the CAD source is Infusion360, but also a step file. So if you want to remix it, maybe make it out of sheet metal or something, you can totally do that. That's all there. Circuit Python page walks you through installing Circuit Python. My theory just went up on this phone. That's why I was like, what is going on? It's listening to me. This just walks you through installing the latest version of Circuit Python. And then the next page has the code. Again, shout out to Phil B for writing the code for it. I have a lot of sounds. I think it's like maybe a dozen sounds, something like that. So many. Yeah. And the bunch of atomization is so good on it that you'll get one that you didn't know was on there and it surprises you. Yeah. I tried to sample the actual quotes from the movie. The most iconic one is, I'm sorry, Dave, can't do that. We like all the doctor print ones or the funny ones in there. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's these days you can use different AI tools to do text to speech. So feel free to use those. I didn't want to run into any copyright things because there are some that are like, you can't distribute these. So something like Descript is what I tried using. They have really nice voices that sound real, like the movie guy voice or a number of voices, British voices. And Phil B even found like a third-party app that actually has Hal's voice from the movie. But again, we run into those issues where we're not allowed to distribute those. So you're able to record your own voice if you wanted to. But anyhow, the code is pretty simple. It's very well commented. We're basically just setting up everything for the prop maker feather. So the I2S amplifier, the external power to turn it on. And then this is kind of interesting. The LED is actually wired to the Neopixel pin, which I never thought to use, but you can use the Neopixel pin as a regular digital pin. So that's what we're doing for the LED. And this is a good use of using just a standard LED to do a random blink to give it this talking effect. So while the audio is playing, the LED is blinking randomly. So you get this nice kind of talking-like thing. The WAV files are stored in a folder called sounds. And this little function here is just blissed them in the REPL so that you know here's all the files that are on your drive, on your circuit python drive. And then there's a little function called play file that'll run through playing the random sound file from the sounds folder. And then while it's playing, it's going to randomly blink the LED. And you can change it up if you like, but that's pretty much it. In the loop, it's saying if the button is false, then play the file. We also have a learned guide on how to convert sound files for circuit python. Basically, you just want to have a 16-bit mono WAV file that's like this 22 kilohertz sample rate. You could do a little bit higher, but we tend to, if you want to do a whole bunch of them in save on space, it's 22 kilohertz is fine. So this will walk you through using the opens. I think it's open or free to download software called Odacity. Or Odacity. And it's, I think now you do it in the web browser. So let's say that. Yeah, so I think it's for Mac and PC. And you can create your own samples, trim them, save them out in the right format.  And she wanted just a central guide for folks to be able to reference for creating the right format of WAV file. Of course, you can just do for mp3, but we like WAVs because they tend to have a little bit better audio quality. They tend to be less crackly. You don't need an encoder for it, too. Right, yep, less memory. It's kind of nice. So that is the code. It's all up there on GitHub. You could use the project bundle, probably better to use the project bundle because it'll include the sound files. But this uses all built-in library stuff. So there's no external libraries being used here because it's so simple, right? Core Audio is built into your circuit Python build, so that's really nice. And then the last page assembly, the Quick Connects, we're going to set those up by removing the little JST connectors and just tinning them. I wish these came already pre-made, but that's kind of the only soldering. I know I said no soldering required, but there is a little bit of soldering. I guess you could twist the wires if you want. It would still work, but it's best to tin them a little bit. Otherwise, you're setting up the PCB mount for the feather, and we're using screws to secure it to that. And then the speaker has these mounting tabs that get secured to the bottom box. We join the bottom boxes together. And then this is where you install the panel by just sliding it into the groove there. And it has these notches that will lock into button. The button itself, like I said earlier, to give it that gray bezel, that silver bezel. I just stuck it on with double-sided tape. Pedro, did yours need any double-sided tape? I was going to, but it hangs on pretty good. Yeah, it hangs on pretty good that it just forced it off. Yeah. Wow. I heard that click. That was nice. Yeah. In my case, it was just a little bit loose. And I was like, I'm just going to put some double-stick tape so it doesn't fall out while I'm building it. So you could do that too if you want. But if your tolerances are nice and tight like Pedro's was, this should just stay on there, I guess. The arcade button has these two notches for the panel. You just want to make sure that it lines up and to get fully seated in there. The button has a built-in stem that's threaded, and it has like a plastic washer and a mounting plate. So you just want to install those. So it's mounted and facing forward. And then we get the speaker installed to the bottom there. You just press, fed it in and then line up the mounting holes and then secure it with those M3 screws and hex nuts. So it gets fitted like that. It's kind of symmetrical. It doesn't matter which way the wire is going. So that's kind of nice. And then I use double-sided tape to stick the label onto the panel. And it's called Panel B. And then we slide that into the top box of the enclosure. And then once that's done, we can assemble the top box to the middle box. Now, once the panels are in, they can't come out, right? Because the groove kind of keeps it in place. I thought that was kind of nice. Pedro, you have a big, you have the CR-10 printer from Crealty. So you were able to print this whole panel in one piece, which is pretty cool. A little envious there. How did you find sliding and installing the panel? Was it any different or? No, it was good. You just kind of slide it on, right? Yeah. I like how well it attached that I only need screws on the outside, since you were saying it wasn't there. I mean, it's already been held on by this. So it's not cool. Oh, I didn't even think of that. Yeah, all right. You only need two screws near the backside for that. Yeah, they're more easy access. All right. Yeah, I'll continue. I'll get to it at the end, I guess. Yeah, if you can, if you have like a low-profile wrench, you can get those screws in the back there. Or that... You don't really need them at all. Lastly, yep, that right angle bit at any handy. Oh, yeah. So you might want to right angle a bit if you want to drill. But yeah, always you like glue them together if you want, right? I like everything so that you can take it apart if you ever need to. Oh, yeah. But with that set up, we install the button. I think previously, when I was putting the bezel, you actually want to take apart the button, which is super easy to do. You just twist and press the whole LED and switch, has its own little sub-assembly that comes out. Super good button. I mean, it's very versatile. You can take it apart and like, print your own pieces for it, which is nice. But once you have it out, you want to pop it back in, twist lock it. And then this is where you install the quick connect wires to the terminals. Just reference the photos to know which side is like the voltage and ground for the LED. Oh, hello, kiddies. I don't know if you can hear my cats. Oh, they're coming in. And then once the LEDs are wired up, we'll wire up the switch. They're labeled with common, which is for ground, and normally open, which is the NO label. Yeah. And then there's some holes on the back or in the inside of the boxes that allow you to put the thread the wires through. And then from there, we can start installing and fastening the wires to the screw block terminals on the prop maker. I'll start with the speaker wires, then the ground. So the two ground wires are going to be shared. So you just insert them in and fasten them down. I have them color coded here, which is nice. So the blue wires, the blue ones are ground. That's for the LED and the switch. And then the LED voltage goes into the neopixel pen. And then the switch goes into the button pen. Super easy peasy. And then the PCB mount. Just press fit it or just slide it into place. Line up the mounting holes and then add some M3 hardware to secure it in place. The USB port for power and reprogramming is accessible on the side. And then we just press fit the speaker grill into place. Pedro, yours was a little bit loose, so I think you added some tack. You could always add some tack there. If you want to permanently adhere it, you can do that too. Mine had a pretty tight fit, so I was able to just press fit it in. And then power it on, and that is the whole build. Easy peasy. Thank you. You mentioned the feet, right? You added feet on the bottom. I didn't document that, but you can add feet if you want. We have these rubber butt per feet that have adhesives on it, so you don't have to screw them in. Yeah, you're going to need them for this. Rubber feet are really nice because the screw heads show here. You will definitely scratch up your desk. Yeah, and it could topple over because it's a little top heavy. And then the thing I wanted to mention about the 45-degree bit is so you can have these super clean edges here because you're able to get all up in there and just screw in all the way in. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. So instead of the bolt coming on the outside, you have it coming in. It's just coming straight out, which I guess I could add a dab of black paint on there or something to totally hide it. Yeah, or like a vinyl sticker to cover up the whole area here. Yeah, and then I think Devin was asking, can we just get or print these separately and just glue them all together? I kind of like one piece. So yeah, it's fused together. And it's a good project for using the change filament plug-in intro because you don't have to align anything. I mean, you don't have to align it. You have to do on that. Right. And then here's another case for doing the filament swap. I'm not going to align all those little holes that go in there. Yeah. So this is, again, the filament swap stuff for that because I didn't want to print out vinyl and unstick it. Yeah, for being a fan, I didn't like to get it. Never thought to. Oh, no, my blade is dull. Let me change my blade. All this. Yeah, it's pretty fine. It's pretty fine. It's processing. It's simple processes for aligning things. Mine didn't come out as clean as I would like, but. Yeah, mine either. I'm sure you can. I had a little, like when it did this, it looks real clean on the camera, but it's relatively tiny where it does the filament change. But it's nice that it's fully in there. Yeah, it's attached. You don't have to get glue on your fingers. Right. But you could do that, man. You could totally do that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you, because you know how the top, I guess you could enable ironing to give it a better smooth look. Sometimes that works. Sometimes not. It's aligning issues. That's, especially for this right here, that would be. Yeah. I like kind of the 3D depth that you get from the layered colors. Yeah. So that's kind of nice. Yeah, so definitely different ways to do it. And what is the correct color? I see the gold, and then the gray. Yeah, I know. Well, the movie, I see it that it's... 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0. I think that's nice. He doesn't really say that, but I think that's from, from like a, I was inspired by like a Futurama joke. So, you know, here's like, uh... It was Shakespeare. The robotic Shakespeare. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I mean, there's different. It's hard to find like a real one, because there's a lot of remakes of it. In the movie? Like, in the movie was great. In the movie it's it's lit in a way where you kind of can't really tell, so... Dang it, they didn't think about it.  Yeah, it was never meant to be this, uh... A thing to make money off of? What a good idea. I know, right? Yeah, and I guess they used a real lens from like a Sony camera or something. Mmm. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's all good. See here, um, so they... Oh, right there? Yeah, like here it's gray. Looks like the pound, pawn shop guys. Yeah, right. Looks like they could do this $2. Way back when, a couple, I guess like maybe eight years ago now, I think, um, I think Geek sold one, but you know, they went out of business, so I don't think you can get one anymore. Baby on eBay, you know, but yeah, I guess it's gray. I'm gonna say it's gray. I'm not seeing any photos of it again. And gray, yeah. Yeah, so... All right, that's a good tangent, just to kind of like spend a little bit of time looking at all the different iterations of it. Oh, we're also gonna say that it was a camera lens. Yeah, it was for sure. I don't know exactly which one, but there's definitely documentation of people hunting down exactly how many holes, what lens it is and all that on the prompt replica forms. Yeah, but that's our version of it. Again, it's a classic project that I think is like 2015, maybe 2016, something like that. So it's nice to bring it back to like the modern era. Oh, wow, 2013. That was just when me and you got started with Adafruit. So it's as old as we are. Yeah, but you know, these days, people have 3D printers instead of laser cutters. How funny, huh? I think the only other thing I want to mention was just the way using the lipstick battery to make it completely contained. So it's safe for the kids that are banging this around. The battery is nicely protected. And then we have the right angle woven USB-C to USB-A. Nice. Since USB-A is going to be sticking around. Yeah, I guess. And yeah, that's pretty much it. There's a good job of staying in there. The wires, I did not have the bigger spade ones. So. Oh, yeah. You got that. Yeah, so I just went in with the needle nose pliers that we have. And that works. Nice. Of course, the table arrived yesterday. We're all done filming. Yeah. Similarly, I didn't have the right size. I had the smaller size. Yeah, me too. So if you need to, the smaller size in a pinch, will it work? You just got to carefully go in there and like reference the size. You can kind of see if you can hear how it's. Yeah, we got three sizes. These, uh. Print October on a laptop around Adafruit. Connection Serial Core Automate Printer Pro. Get out of my printer. Uh-huh. That was actually a mistake and I ended up recording it. That was great. It was, uh. It was like reading the, the, the serial terminal from Cura. So it was like really weird. But anyway, Get all three of these sizes because you never get all three of them. Here's the 1.87 inch and then the smaller arcade button. Yeah. These are for like the really small, like 16 millimeter buttons. Like these boys, you know what, it worked out because you know how one side is smaller than the other side. Yeah. But I just bent one of them. Okay. That works too. Yeah. And then these are the bigger, bigger lugs. So yeah. And they come with these pH or PX, JSTPH, no, JST 2.5 millimeter cables. So obviously we want to chop these off for screwing them into the screw block terminals. But we have all of these in stock. The prop maker is in stock. The LED button is in stock. These come in different colors. You could hack it with a Neopixel if you wanted to. That'd be kind of cool. I've hacked it where I put the circuit playground inside of the button. This button, this project here has a circuit playground in it. It's a little, it's a little, uh, more involved, obviously.  So it's kind of the same project, really. It's just different. I mean, it was earlier. Just because of the way the CPX is. Oh, it was, it was heinous. Terminals. The wiring is kind of heinous. Yeah. Yeah. It's all these now, you know, circuit pythons makes it way easier. I mean, the prop maker feather makes it way easier. Yeah. The difficulty in this is all that wiring that you have to make. Yeah. You have to like, you got it small. I don't know. Just, just making it all nice and small like that, but in all those heat shrinks. Yeah. If the like, kind of, you can see here, like you have to kind of thread all the wires to the back here. So it's a little intense. But it can be done. If you want to put some Neopixels in there, you can do that. Oh, DJ Devin says Neopixel Ring would be awesome. Yeah. That would be easier. Yeah. Great. That's a good idea. But the prop calls for a red LED. So that's why we went with that route. Again, the prop makers are in stock. We have a whole bunch of them. And the stock mine. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. If you want to get another prop maker for all your props, stock up on them. You can use coupon code. Odyssey. I just picked up a fault in the R&D 2040 unit. That's funny. Yeah. In the movie. Every timing. Yeah. In the movies is like some other random thing that has a fault. So I figured I'd update that to be a little bit more current. Yeah. Go ahead. Let's go jump into what we're prototyping this week. That's what we got. A almost finished FAS wrench. And we were showing off earlier. Oh, I mean that's great. It's got code in there.  We have the LCD backpack on there. It'll show that. Is that the contrast that's all funny? No. I think it was. Oh, it's the blurry thing.   I tried. There's it's off. Maybe it's the. Is it Chrome doing this? I think it's no. I think it has its own like. Hold on. Camo is doing it. Virtual background. Yeah. Ah, there it is. Yeah. There you go. Oh, what's going on? There you go. No spotlight. No. Check your stream yard setting. You see a little cogwheel and then go to virtual background in stream yard. The stream yard UI. I see it.  Right. Virtual background. It says I don't have it. Ah, man. Camo. That new Simona, man. Yeah. It was off. Yesterday. And I'm looking at my preview window here and it is disabled. What? Maybe if I want to refresh. I don't know. Refresh. There we go. Okay. It's not off. It's just. That works. That's weird. All right. Cool. So Fazer wrench. Let's get the code in there. So when you push the button, it goes into the unlock mode. And then you have it when you do the accelerometer left or right, it'll change the sound effects to like a higher pitch or lower pitch. Yep. And then. New pixels change too. Oh, the new pixels change too. So yeah, let's just go pixels in there. Have your illuminated buttons. And then the scroll wheel acts as a volume. Scroll that up and down. I'm guessing like in the game, it doesn't really have all these codes, but you know, just to show off the display on there. Yep. Doing the filament swap. Like you were saying earlier for this, we can match up all the paint that they have in the game. And what else? So the prop maker. There's obviously the hero for this. You can kind of see it there. Oh man. This is so blurry. You can't see it. It is. Very blurry. But coming next week, nice little prop for, I guess like sound effects. You can swap all that out. They're just wave files. So you get Python, of course. So it just loads as a USB drive. So you can swap all that out. The antennas are actually the real antennas that you can use for any of the Wi-Fi projects. So just those to screw in. Should I go ahead and open it up? Or are we out of time? No, we have plenty of time. All right, cool. I'm going to just do a quick little open-up so we can show how that is going on. Oh, your thing finally happened.  Is it because I'm not in it? Yeah. Yeah. It's doing face detection then. So it's definitely the Simona thing. Yep. I don't know how to save it. It's like, could be a bug. So everything's held in with screws. Let's see if I can go in here. And I should have had this. Wearing a mask.  That's if you didn't test it. Yeah, anyway. All right. It's just a system. I should have had all these screws already on down.  So we're just kind of the long screwdriver bit for that. Yeah. I like where the screws could play. You're not going to accidentally snap fit it open. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go ahead and open it up. You can see all the stuff in here.  Oh my God.  Yes, I do. Let's just get that in there. You have to add it to the... Yeah, I see it. Yeah. Let me make sure camera. You're using a MacBook face scan that's like built in, right? Yeah. Okay. See device. Many. There we go. I hope. Hey. Check out all the stuff that's on the inside. So everything is of course super modular. Everything goes into the terminal. Like the speakers and the rotary is just stemma. So that plugs into this guy here. And we're all daisy chaining back to the display. How cool is that? You don't have to have all these crazy wires. It just plugs right into that. The only thing that we have to solder is like the power in the ground to the buttons. We're sharing the ground over here. And then even the slide switch, I'm using these female little different cables. I didn't know that would work. Right. Neither did I. So it plugs right in there. I don't have to like chop off the other one. Like say I want the on button to be up instead of down. How cool is that? That is very cool. So even the... This is the size that you made. You know what I'm saying? It's completely modular. This unscrews and it's its own little piece. The feather mount has the speaker mount. Attached to it. That's all one. Nice. Together. The rotary has this sweet little... You can't really see it here. Has like a little U shape that holds on to the stem. So that when you're scrolling, it's not toppling it over. Same thing with the battery. The way that's mounted. It's a separate piece too. The LED little strip. It's just like just holding onto it. So all of this just comes off too. Yeah. Completely modular with everything on the screen. Those neopixels look like what side lit neopixels? These are the side lit neopixels. It's a good news case of that. Of the side lit. Yeah. So you can insert them at this angle. Yeah. Because I mean at first, I was going to add real three millimeter LEDs to that. Man, I would have the wiring for that. Yeah. When people are used to terminals and a stemma, that just sounds disgusting now.  It's not... It just doesn't feel great anymore. So there are LEDs. They pop right in and out. So that's a pretty cool thing. Just these translucent little gummy drop things. And like we were joking about last week, that I already anticipate the kids breaking this. So I have a... The short header is on this. So this comes right off. Nice. Yeah. Since we have space in here, I don't have to mess with having limited headroom for the height. Right. You know, it elevates it just a little bit. And I do have to do a little jerry rig in here with having a nylon screw so that it, you know, it doesn't wiggle downward. Right. Oh, okay. It's an end. It's like a standoff of a... I try to standoff. I have to like cut it to make it smaller. Just seeing the screws easier. Oh, the way that the antennas are held on, they're just these little guys here. We do sell all these pieces. We would need to have, you know, for real antennas. This is what you would like to talk to this. We do have one where the cable is already soldered to here. So it doesn't need the cable. I grabbed the version that doesn't have that attached. And we have different versions that go to like the UFL. So some of our feathers do that. This could totally be like a real lore of assembly new projects. Yup. This is why I wanted to... I wanted to have real components be able to mount it in there. So if somebody does want to use this as a...  If they wanted to somehow insert that in there, have like a bigger case for it, or have more components in there, you can reuse that for that purpose. Yeah. So everything in here, like I said, it's all super modular. It all comes out. I'll use this up so I can turn it upside down. You can see where all of the screw mounts for... All of the components are. You got the counter and stuff in there too. Now you can actually see the USB port. The way that screws in like that. Yeah. Just the use of the JST. So all of the buttons can come out. Like so using the jumpers and the JST cables to completely have everything completely swappable, modular. Every little piece of it. And even down to the speaker, you can disconnect it right there. I love using the shorter speaker wire once for that. Yeah, I think that's it. Lots of modularity and inability for this little prop that you can turn into something that can be a real tool on site. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's really cool. Let me see. I'm going to go to Discord real quick. Devin says, great enclosure. Looks like everything fits up nicely. Fan of the side mounted rotary encoder. Yeah, I haven't really seen that. Yeah, I didn't know how that was going to work out. Yalora RFM board and GPS. So the internals are functional. Yes, yes, yes. This is exact. That's exactly what I was thinking. Devin is asking if there are LEGO parts for the LED diffusers. Not necessarily. You're just custom made kind of dots. Oh yeah, they're custom made. It's just a sphere with a cylinder with a fillet on top. Yeah. Okay. Did you want to put your camera back on? I think you're still on. Whoops. Yeah. Oh, camoed like. Camera kind of took over. Yeah. Well, if you want to pick up any of the parts, there you go. Still got that coupon code. All right. I was picking up two of the same camera. It was. It was very strange. Oh wait, I'm going to need that camera again. That's whatever. I'll just show it off here. Yeah, I know. I have an overhead two of it. Okay. All right. You want to do, I'll do a quick shop talk first. And then we can look at the thing. Let me stop my screen. If folks have the qualia board, check out our learn guide repo. I just uploaded a 3D model of the new qualia ESP32S3 board. So folks want to make an enclosure for it. It's got four mounting holes and all the connectors, stemma, even the bigger stemma, a couple side buttons. And then the new S3 module, which is a different shape. So I had to get that from the DigiKey. And then of course the 40 pin connector is here. It has like that flip top thing. But yeah, we'll be doing a bunch of projects with this coming forward. We're still working out software support for the various RGB TFT panel sizes. But yeah, this is going to be a nice board. Oh yeah, it was DM and the chats there tag teaming on getting all the code to work perfectly with all the monitors and displays. So coming soon to help people commenting on the round display for doing the howl. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Yep, it's, I like the orientation of it. It looks like it'll be like down. And then you can have an extent, a 40 pin connector that's extending the display so it can be somewhere else. And then the side buttons are accessible in this orientation. So that'll be nice. I think it's a good board design. So check that out. That is available to download on the product learn guide, which is live now. And they might still be in stock. Let me double check. The quality of board is in stock. Quality. We have 11 in stock still. Let me go back to the right tab. Stop screen, share screen. There it is. There's the quality of board. Learn guide is up too if you want to start working with it. It's got good Arduino support already, but we're still working on circuit Python support, I believe. Here's some circuit Python. Oh yeah, we have some circuit Python code. So check it out. Yeah, I think it's going to be a digital snowflake globe. Yeah, I think Liz had some clock, circular clock project ideas she wants to do. So that'd be cool.  Of course, the eyeballs. Yeah, eyeballs would be nice. Although, I don't know, you could do two eyeballs and then you could do one. One is fine, like I'm sure. One is fine. And if you want an extender, I think, 40 FPC, you can use these things. They're the same pinouts. I just picked one of these up because I know I'm going to need it in the future. Okay, cool. That's my shop talk. And now we can roll into... It's more of a get ready for, get all your parts. Yeah. All right, this week's community makes is this awesome little grin reaper with a scythe. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's super cool. Yeah, it's super cool. Yeah, prints of place. Very amazing detail and design. It's very cute, but also creepy. Yeah. Look at this guy. Let's see. Tons of detail. Cleans up very nice, as you can see from that time lapse. Yeah. Well, bit of string, but look at that. Lots of string. Then I had my black light. This is the glow-in-the-dark one, the glow-fill from, I forget their name. Color fab. I forget the name, but the designer is called Twistie Prince. Yes. They have a whole collection of these stellar artistic models that are flexible, articulated. Yeah, check that. Just the detail on his scythe, all that little detail. Yeah, it's amazing. All over in the way that his cloth is like blowing in the wind. And it's tattered. Yeah, all tattered in torn. And then on the back, you can see where all the articulated joints are.  Yeah, a lot of joints in there. Yeah, this is so nice. Only one go for the print, too. Like they didn't fail at one point, especially with all these towers that are all over. These little pointy bits, too. Yeah. So as you can see in the time-lapse, he prints down, face down, and that's why you're able to get all this really good detail. You always get it more on the Z. Yep. Yeah. Like you can color them up or multi-print them? Like how good is all that color on there? Yeah, it looks amazing. Painted. Got some dry brushing techniques, too. And the eyes really pop when you give them some color and depth to them. Really nice paint job. Really nice overall. Fantastic model. It is a paid model because it's just such a great design. Two bucks, euros, two, fifty. I think those are euros because it looks like an E, I'm not sure. I think it got it when it was on sale. Oh, really? Okay. When they first released it, designers usually put it on sale. Really? Okay. Well, they have a whole slew of pumpkins and clowns. Oh, wow. Oh, the Cthulhu. Cthulhu, I think. Yeah, tons of these. Like that's their thing. Oh, it's a no-man one. Super cute ones, yeah. Oh, and the mouth opens. Yeah, super cool. So check that out. Again, twisty prints. It was so cool, even I printed one. Like here's mine. So nice. I printed it in Prusa, what's Prusa, Phil? I think or Prusa Mint? I got one of their spools. And yeah, same thing. For free? Yeah, for free with $20 shipping. Well, what happened? What'd you do? What'd I do? For free? Was that a gesture? Balloons just came out. Oh, you did not do that? Do that again? For free? What? Both hands. I only did one hand, though. Oh, really? That's crazy. I missed it. That's funny. At any hand, yeah, super cool to see all the joints, arm. There you go, balloons. It can sit down, so you can have it sit down. And then here's my scythe. I printed it in this black glitter, which looks really cool. Yeah, yeah, just the- The layer lines almost add cool detail to it. It does. I almost want to blow this up as big as I can and have it be just a prop weapon. Right, funny. How do I get the- To get it in the arm, it's like- Oh, you got to put it in sideways. Yeah. So I just get it in there. There it is. Yeah, it doesn't snap. It doesn't really snap fit, but it's fine. I found it a little tricky to stand it up, but this is, you know, the joints are all over the place. You can use the scythe as a cane to support him. Oh, really? Okay. But yeah, it's super cool to see all the joints moving. Great Halloween prop. So yeah, check it out. It's on a Colts 3D. Yeah, I think it's a Grim Reaper Smurf. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. It's kind of got that chunky, cute, short stout look to it. All right. Yeah, let's continue on. So that was the time lapse. We get a couple of community makes. First up, we have a Mario Buu posted up by OrangeSS on printables. This is a nice candy dish bowl or a planter. All sorts of different things. You can paint it. You can dual extrude it. You can make it go in the dark. Has a little tail, a little ghost tail. It's kind of fun. And then after that, we have a make of the Talking D20 that we did a couple of weeks ago. Ralph posted up their make. So the print came out good, waiting on the electronics. So they got it printed in this nice kind of Tee Green. Mint Green. Yep. After that, we have another Glow in the Dark. This is from Jand. Jand LM makers, I think. They made the Epcot Spaceship Earth Project. And Glow in the Dark. Wow. This thing's the first Glow in the Dark one I've seen. So came out pretty good. Looks even better, I think, with the Glow in the Dark filament. Cool. After that, we have a make of Link's Highland Shield. This was posted up by Thingiverse user Piketta. Posted that up. Looks like they finished it, painted it. All that stuff. Thing is solid printed for their kids. Halloween costume. And I think it's stronger to battle with. Printed on Ender III cruelty. With some supports. Printed in pieces or? They said they broke up the model into four pieces in order to fit on the printer. Top two quadrants is printed as is. The bottom two quadrants are rotated upside down. Once each print is printed, super glued the piece together, filled the crack, sanded, painted. Looks awesome. Wow. It got 20 hours of print. Yeah. Looks like it's full size too. It's pretty big. And the last one to round it off is from PL Metz. They post it up. Their make of a 3D printed Cherry MX compatible key switch. Or key cap, rather, for their micro pad. So yeah. Looks good. And that is this week's community makes. Thanks everybody for posting up your makes. All right. We are got five minutes left in the show. So we're going to hang out. We've got a question about your computer. What is it doing? Oh, I don't know what that thing is. I'm going to disable this. Yeah. You have time. All right. Later tonight, we have a special edition of Show and Tell hosted by Liz Clark. She'll be hosting. Last week was Melissa. She did a great job. Thanks, Melissa, for hosting. Tonight is going to be Liz hosting. It starts at 7.30 PM Eastern time. Come on to Discord for the invite link and share your project. And then at 8 PM Eastern time is Ask an Engineer with Mr. and Mrs. Lady 8. Checking out all the new products, open source hardware news, top secrets and more. Then tomorrow is JP's workshop. Tune in to JP for another coupon code and his progress on his latest project. He's got a pressure washer build happening. Plus some Lego Synthio projects with a color sensor. Deep Dive this week, I think it's either going to be Tim Fomey Guy or Scott and or every Friday at 2 PM Pacific or 5 PM Eastern. Deep Dives are in full effect. And then Mondays is the Circuit Python weekly meeting. Tuesdays, product pick of the week. And then we circle back to Wednesdays with our show. All right. Any other stuff we want to mention? I got nothing. Yeah. Well, you know, everything's in stock. I think we're gearing up for an Aida box. So I think this year for sure. Aida box is happening.  Our products. Let me see if they're still in stock. We have two in stock. These were on sale yesterday on the product pick of the week. I forgot what the price was, but it's probably pretty good. So good to see these M4 boards back in stock. These are very popular. Very cool. Maybe we'll get some monster masks in stock at some point too. But we're working towards getting all of our M4 stuff back in order. Awesome. Yeah. I heard they're working on it. Yay. All right, folks. Next week will be the Fras wrench. So we're going to get a nice learn guide and video out. And then I think we have a couple enclosures for various products. Maybe the quality of board. Definitely the USB power delivery board. And then a special holiday project kicking around some ideas. But yeah, hope everybody's doing good and staying safe. Don't forget the coupon code. 7% off your order with code Odyssey. All right, folks. This is going to do it for us. We'll see you later tonight. But until then, remember to make a great day. See you next week. Bye, folks. Use control B to reload. I'm sorry, Dave. I don't have enough information. Bye, folks.


Good morning and welcome. I want to request one of us to lead with a word of prayer. Could anyone please do that for us? Thank you Jesus for this time we have to come to know more of you, more of your word. And Lord thank you Lord that you would empower a pastor and Nancy to share with us what you have to say and that our hearts are going to be open in the Father to receive and thank you Jesus for having a good time together and that are knowing the Father God of you and how to overcome the works of the devil or Jesus that we will be strengthened and thank you Jesus for everything in name of prayer. Amen. Amen. Thank you. So I'll continue from where I stopped in the last class. We were talking about the victory of the cross and how Jesus has completely defeated the devil. Sometimes this is not cognized by believers maybe because they have not been taught these truths from God's word and which is why you know we are not able to, we are not able to apply it. We said that for lack of knowledge God's people perish as scripture from Hosea 4 and verse 6 tells us that so the truth is that we have completed masterly over the devil. We have been given authority, we have also been given power over the enemy, we have been given the keys of the kingdom you know that Jesus commissioned us gave us all. He said all authority on heaven and earth is mine I give it to you and then you know that when we operate we are actually going against a defeated enemy. Now a couple of things in continuation right in continuation of this concept that I wanted to bring to us it is there in our notes. You please follow along in chapter 5 together with me we studied that we have complete protection. I shared bits and pieces, examples in the last so you can connect or relate with that. We said that you know when Jesus commissioned his disciples to go and minister in part of the Holy Spirit he said nothing by any means shall harm you. We also talked about the scripture in 1 John 5 verse 18 where it says that when one walks in the ways of God or in other words without the open doors or entry points to the devil then what happens we the enemy cannot touch us. Okay now there are other scriptures like Isaiah 54 verse 17 where it says no weapon formed against you shall cross every tongue that rises against you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord other scriptures the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and deliver them.  So we have protection and we don't really have to worry that there will be some sort of an attack by the enemy. So here are these additional thoughts that I wanted to share. One is that because Jesus has done the work and we have complete mastery on the devil there is this concept where you know it just said that Jesus is fighting for us in heaven you know because he is in heaven as part of his ministry in heaven there is a concept that says that there are cases so every allegation that comes against us Jesus is an advocate scriptures only tells that that Jesus is an advocate and that he is fighting each and every accusation and shaking it down for us. Now the reality is the book of Hebrews tells us that the Lord Jesus has come the sacrifice for us paid price for us in such a way that even though he left to him as an advocate the work which he needed to do to make us righteous he already did it through the cross so he was 914 it says that he has perfected us once for all so and forever so when he has perfected us it's not like every time he has to fight on our behalf as our advocate so when we say he's an advocate we must understand that he has already completed that whatever legal work against the devil it's done there is no need for him to something like up before God you know like like something in a court setting that each time fight every small case for us against the devil so that is not there in the scriptures because we read Jesus has already done it all to make us righteous. Now legal rights we said that the enemy cannot touch us so we must remember that now that we are in the mastery or the completed work of Jesus the enemy we are in the kingdom of of Jesus isn't it so but we are in the kingdom of God different legal rights up to us okay and the enemy no longer is our owner or we don't belong to him anymore we are redeemed and we are part of the kingdom of God and because of that he has no legal rights over us if he says no you are still my slave you are still you should continue in sin and all you can say hey no devil I don't belong to you you have no legal rights over my life deepens you have no legal rights over my life but we must remember some of the earlier things we said which can cause the enemy to influence us such as you know practices, dedications, sacrifices, words so if you have given entry points then yes you know he can intrude but if we have haven't given entry points then he has no legal rights so we can always ask him to leave and not interfere in you know our in what God is doing in our lives so that is another thing no more backlash is backlash is something like you know you go against a certain enemy the enemy will attack you because you did this he will do it and I discussed that last time in our class and I said that there is no such thing we don't have to be afraid now does the devil do things against people and particularly believers yeah that is job whether we like it or not whether we are doing something for the kingdom of God or not he will still do that so we must not let that put us in fear inside we must do what God is calling us to do so what we are actually saying is don't live in the fear that there will be a backlash Jesus said you know go cast out demons go deliver people set them free we just go and do it out of faith because we have complete mastery over the devil and satan is completely defeated now in the book of Job okay there is a a passage which we read that Job says what I feared came upon so it gives us a clue you see fear is an open door when we start thinking the wrong way the wrong tons of thinking or we are entertaining things like fear and anxiety what happens it's an open door okay and when I fear that this could happen and it happens if I say see I told you the devil is going to do this and he has done it why did it happen because fear gave the opportunity for the devil to do it but when we don't fear let me go by the word can he bring in a backlash no he can't because we cannot allow him but we fear and worry that gives him an entry point okay so let's remember that and also there is a saying I don't know how many of us have heard it he generally say that saying goes something like new levels new devils okay that is to tell us that as we progress in our journey with law there can be challenges which are greater which are bigger and that we should not become too comfortable and say oh I won at this level in this position in this capacity in my call I have done very well so I'm going to be fine all the time but as you go to the next level in Christ you will see new challenges and so somebody coined this this statement new level new devil okay meaning you'll have more attacks you'll have more challenges however you know one thing we have to remember is we proceeded with Christ in the heavenly places and that's the highest level okay and we are functioning in authority from that level the highest level which oh a demon can get to and so why do we worry about new levels and new devils whatever whoever the devil is whichever principality whichever power of darkness of course you know the long Jesus has conquered over every devil so we must not worry too much that oh I'm going to face a bigger devil what will I do right because now we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places and Satan is under the feet so any more things to talk about you know these truths or shall we proceed feel free both online and in-person students you can ask questions right assumption is we have no questions yet oh you have no questions okay that's fine okay we'll continue then let's move on to chapter six and this talks about the authority and the dominion of the believers we will look at you know the different like we have authority but authority and its dimensions can be looked at in various ways that's what we are going to discuss here we will look at at least four dimensions here we could also add another dimension called as empowered authority potential four are given so one is redemptive authority second is inherited authority third is positional authority and fourth of course is delegated authority so we must recognize that we have authority and on the basis of you know all these things so how does it work coming to redemptive authority I've been talking so much about redemption Jesus uh paid the price for us on the cross and by now we're in the kingdom of Lord Jesus in revelation chapter 12 verse 11 it reads they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives to death so when we say the blood of the Lamb what does it mean the blood of the Lamb signify that a work has been done to deliver us from clutches of Satan forever okay put us into the kingdom of God so that is redemption isn't it Jesus paid a ransom and he brought us into his kingdom so we are now redeemed every part of us is redeemed because of cross of Calvary and I remember telling us in the last class that therefore Satan cannot put his works on our lives anymore okay unless we give him an open door like let's say you know sin or some sort of an action or anything that classifies the curse right so many things are there in scripture he cannot forcefully put those things on us anymore because he just has no legal rights on us and so we can look at it this way whatever Adam and Eve they lost in the garden of Eve okay through that tree which they accessed and they ate the fruit from Jesus has nullified that through the tree okay of Calvary on will be hung for us any price for us and so we look at what the blood of Jesus has done for us thankful and we recognize that what is the blood done for us the blood has redeemed us the blood has redeemed us so when we are coming against the devil we are coming against the basis of our redemption we are saying hey devil I am now redeemed how can you you know touch my bond with sickness or my possessions with the calamity destruction cannot you just cannot because I have redemptive authority the blood of Jesus was shed for me and what does that blood say the blood says I belong to Jesus I don't belong to you anymore I belong to Jesus that is redemptive authority where I I stand with authority and say I now am part of the kingdom of God so whatever is legal or whatever is applicable in the kingdom will be operational in my life so the blessing on our operational you know victory is now operational because of what Jesus has done not the bondage of the kingdom of darkness so that's how we are that redemptive authority moving on I just go on the others you know I'll give you some time in case anybody has questions inherited authority okay inherited authority that simply means that we are now sons and daughters of the Lord Jesus Christ see scriptures that tell us that you know in Colossians 1 and verse 12 we reminded that we are partakers of the inheritance of the saints so what has God done he has made us sons and daughters so John 1 12 when we believe them we become a child of God so I become a child of God I become a daughter and a son of the Lord right now and in Romans 8 verse 16 and 17 over there we see that the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God so who have we become now we are children and we know that it goes up to say and if children then as as of God and join 7th Christ so even in the natural when parents children what happens the children when they grow up they are the as right or even when they are young if something happens to the parents they are the ones who will inherit what the parents have left behind for them so the same thing is applicable for us now now that I am in Christ and I am a child of God I am the authority Jesus said he's giving me the authority and so when Satan comes against us as a child of God I can say no no devil you can't do this because this is not my inheritance what you're putting on my life is not my inheritance right discouragement or some sort of a sense of failure I can say no not at all because I'm blessed you know with with Christ with all blessings in the heavenly place there's a lot leading triumph victory in Christ Jesus we don't have to go by what the devil is doing that is inherited authority okay now coming to the next aspect here which is positional authority positional authority we have talked about this we said that we are seated with Christ and Christ is seated where at the right hand of God so my position itself shows that I'm above you know the devil he's defeated he's been crushed so I can function from that place each time now Satan question me and say you know how how dare you come against me or stop me but I go by the spiritual reality and what's the spiritual reality the spiritual reality is that I have authority I'm seated with Christ in the heavenly places right now okay so that is positional authority then there is delegated authority delegated authority is we understand in the sense of you know when Jesus sent out his disciples they came back and said in your name you know cast out demons we saw that passage right and what happened they became representatives of Jesus they went to do the works of Jesus Jesus didn't go but when they went they were representing Jesus okay so in other words you can also say that whether Jesus went or they went same kind of authority was demonstrated and the work got done isn't it so delegated authority is understood as we as God's people even today when scriptures tell us that we have the keys of the kingdom or all authority heaven Jesus gave it to us he now tells us go into all the world make disciples baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son the Holy Spirit or you know he says that you lay hands of the sick and will recover okay so what happens he is sending us it has to do with us being commissioned okay we are now representatives we have been commissioned we have been given the authority of Christ and we can use that and also we would notice that you know Jesus said that in my name my name you will cast out demons in my name you know you lay hands on the sick so in his name it's it's like we are going but he also gives us a badge or something to represent him with and that would be the power of the name of Jesus so we could look at it as something legal right but he has given us and say that we don't have the power of authority we can go in the name of Jesus and we can work against the devil and his kingdom so that would be delegated authority okay empowered authority another concept it's not here in our notes but you know that's also some we can we can add empowered authority is to say that we now have the empowering of the Holy Spirit isn't it so when the believers are baptized in the Holy Spirit they went ahead and did the ministry just the way Jesus did it and today I believe us we are baptized in the Holy Spirit the power of the Holy Spirit is operational in our lives and therefore we can be victorious against the devil so these are all the dimensions authority authority in general yes we have been given that authority we are understanding that authority on the basis of these things one is that I am now redeemed the devil has no legal rights on my life I am a child of God so I've inherited blessings and victory you know not his works and so I'm supposed to walk free I have positional authority in Christ you know I am above the works of the enemy so the devil is under the feet of who Jesus isn't it so Jesus is head and we know that who has crushed the devil Jesus has crushed the devil but Jesus is the head of the body so think about this Jesus is the head we all have a head we have a body now the head has crushed something it also means that the body has crushed something isn't it so it's not like the head is separated from the body it's together so Jesus has crushed the devil the head of the body has crushed the devil which also means I have crushed or we have defeated the devil in that sense okay we are not putting making less of what Jesus has done but we are saying we derive from it we receive the goodness what he has done and so the that Satan is now under our feet or he is defeated that is positional authority which we have then delegated authority delegated authority is since he sent us he commissioned us you know we have the name of Jesus as the badge of authority we have the power of attorney attorney we go against the devil and when we go it's somewhat like saying you know Jesus is going and if Jesus's command is expected to uh bring deliverance if our command is expected to bring deliverance because it's we are not doing it in our power you're doing it in his name with his power okay so that's how we are an empowered authority of course by the power of the spirit so why are we learning about all these things we are learning about all these things so that we can be victorious we can use our authority in our everyday life so in our everyday life you know we're facing many challenges some of them come because Satan is trying to interfere and so we can take whatever we are learning the knowledge of this and we can say no I have the authority based on all these dimensions and so I will not let Satan touch my family my health or you know my ministry my church you can go on and on you know whatever belongs to you is now part of the kingdom of God and so Satan cannot do it so we can exercise and we can use our authority in this way so how do we go ahead and release this authority one key is the words that we speak so when I speak words in line with God has spoken what God has spoken of my life then I'm releasing you know that authority so the words are one of the primary ways in which I can release the authority so even saying something like I declare you know that wholeness and health is my portion I declare that I have not received a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind or to say that what else you know so based on that you're talking to talking regarding your health talking regarding emotions if we are battling fear or let's say the enemy is just put a lot of fear about hey you will not have the wisdom to do this you say no God said in his word that if anyone lacks wisdom they can ask and God will give it to them and he is a God who gives it abundance so I'm asking for wisdom God is going to help me God will give me the wisdom I can do this so what am I doing I am releasing my authority how is the devil trying to affect me accusation temptation confusion right he's trying to put it in my mind but I'm saying no I have always dimension of authority so I'm enforcing you know use that term enforce the authority okay so uh I'm going to pause now any any thoughts anything to add anything to clarify please go ahead okay so today seems very silent so as as they say right only two two possibilities either everything is understood or nothing is understood I hope it's the former right so with that I will proceed to what we have next here okay okay okay that's great yeah I was seeing the same thing I was saying of course you all understood everything so nice let's now move on to next chapter here this is uh uh chapter seven where we learn about all things that we have authority over so so far we have recognized that you know God gives us the authority so what are all the elements or if you want to just tell me things that we can exercise our authority on we could look at this in broadly like two realms one is in the spiritual realm and the other of course is in the natural realm okay we would we would notice that some of the spiritual things that happen we can exercise our authority on that even in the natural we can exercise authority okay we will talk about so talking about the spiritual realm sometimes there is the demonic influences isn't it satan and demonic influences we talked about that we said when our open doors satan does many things even there are no open doors he can try to oppose right the word God so in this way he comes against us what this is happening in the spiritual realm now that we know we have a glorious the schemes of the devil the vials of the devil remember the working the the thirds of working of the devil the parts the schemes we can go against that okay and and that's what Jesus said see whatever the enemy is doing in 1019 he said I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions this is kind of representing demons demonic powers satan okay and he said all the power of the enemy so what is demonic realm doing okay I give you authority on all of that so we can exercise our authority against demonic powers so if anything we identify as a demonic work instead of you know just getting scared and saying oh now what shall I do we can say hey no I have been given authority to trample serpents and scorpions and all the power of the enemy and not by any means I'll hurt me so I am going to resist what satan is doing and you know Jesus said in the name you shall cast out demons what is that same demonic realm influence of demons in the form of you know in maybe early influence oppression remember possession so many things happen so at whatever level we recognize that we can actually come against the demons we can be in that place to cast them and that's we exercise authority over demons how demons they have they do their work okay they have an agenda and they work what do they generally do so in the life of Jesus that he came to destroy the works of the devil and Jesus in acts 10 38 he says that he healed all were oppressed of the devil for God was with him so what does the devil do oppression okay we know that he brings oppression in various ways it can be a mental thing in our mind it tries to press us or he could try to oppress us in a in our physical health right so sickness disease is something that he can try to put on us or he can oppress us in our situation let's say he's not able to get to our mind or he's not able to get to our bodies then what happens he'll try to do something outside us so he finally pulls somewhere and you know try to make that problem in our situation he tries to be an issue that could be you know a delay or a hindrance or a lack of clarity confusion disturbance many things can happen so these are things when they come against us remember we said when the storm Jesus was in the storm and his disciples were afraid Jesus recognized that hey this is not a work of God what did he do he went against it he then took the storm okay so the same applies our lives identify that this is not God's work God is not doing this God's not oppressing me God doesn't make me sick or you know God is not putting all this confusion in my life then what do I do I go against it right so I take authority against it and I say no devil I resist I rebuke you know I cast you out so that's how we would respond use your authority against these spiritual oppositions so you know and this demonic oppression sometimes could come through people as well so remember in progression we said that people can be possessed but they can also be empowered right they come to a position where they now have so much of power which they have gained from demonic from demons that they are influencing lot of people they could be influencing an entire region okay our communities so in such instance we can still go against you know the demonic work so a good example is an act chapter 13 where we see in the island of Paphos where there is this sorcerer by the name of Elimus Kebar Jesus Paul and Barnabas they go to minister to a very learned man but because this Elimus sorcerer is there what is happening is he is he is creating some spiritual hindrance to the acceptance of the gospel so what does Paul do he understands that he goes against the demonic work through this sorcerer and you know he rebukes them and you know we know the story he goes blind and once this person is no longer hindering the work of God in the in the life of that man a Sergius Paulus I think his name is and so then what happens that person actually is willing to hear the gospel there is no hindrance by demonic power so there can be certain people who have now become the source of demonic influence when we encounter such situations we can overcome you know demonic influence to people as well now earlier we said that influence through demons can happen in the systems isn't it so there are systems such as politics business arts entertainment you know a family so even in all these realms you know we find that can influence but people of God can overcome that so we have seen in the past also in scripture we've seen people like Daniel who are so powerful during his times there were certain systems but what about Daniel he functioned the knowledge of God in the wisdom of God in the you know whatever his understanding of God's authority was in his generation he used it what about Elijah remember his time was a very difficult time because there's a lot of black magic sorcery witchcraft demonic powers at work but he overcome them there can be systems political system you know religious systems but we don't have to be afraid of Satan can try to work through all this but we can overcome you know Moses also was a he's known as a prophet and a deliverer he worked with the power of God to lead the people and the power of Egypt okay and the people of Egypt the oppression that was in the land of Egypt God helped break out for that okay that that's a spiritual thing to be able to break out of the demonic strongholds is that a possibility it is the possibility because now we have complete victory or mastery over the devil so these are all areas where we can use our authority so there are a few more places which are enlisted I'll go to that but I'm looking at Dina here and Dina says how do we recognize that the problem sickness like autism is demonic how do we go about bring devils use the authority given to us okay that separate questions so the first one how do we recognize that a problem is demonic I think we have to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit because it's really hard to tell how a sickness the origin of that can be just a physical one in that situation if we try to cast out demons one it will not work second it is very frustrating for the people because that's not the solution it will not give us a solution so constantly trying to you know command the devil and all in that situation will not so it's okay by the leading the Holy Spirit Nina I would say we can recognize that a problem is a demonic problem and not really a physical problem now having said that a few indicator we could look for we will come to we are going to be talking about a little later something like see if problem has been or is being adequately addressed in the natural okay and there is no solution to that we are doing best let's say there is a disease and it is being treated it is being you know we're dealing with it but in the long run it it gets very confusing even for the doctors they're like hey it's not happening that there's no logical conclusion there's no logic left anymore you know in in that disease process that could likely be an influence from the T-bombs world so it is an indicator we would say sometimes you know along the same lines when sickness you know you address it it comes back you addressed it adequately in all the natural ways and again it comes back it's just recurring and recurring and recurring it could be that there are some open doors and there is some demonic work so in all these ways you kind of recognize that something is not okay here okay so these things will lead us to identify are they coming to you I'll just answer Nina's questions is that okay Nina does it make sense okay well I don't see the response any have no problem so Nina second question yeah sensitive to the Holy Spirit that's the first and foremost thing and observation of the situation that also will give us some clues now your second question how do we about bringing deliverance use authority given to us primarily of course we have faith but release the faith through our words words okay we release the authority through our words so that would be one of the primary ways which we do it Nina so our words okay so is that okay any follow-up questions all right sure thank you because you know that's what Jesus did it he commanded he should but yes sometimes that authority also was led in a release in other ways prayerfully you know he touched people or something like that and the sickness left then so but as I said primarily that's I use the term primarily through the words but through command he should come out beast or the tree commanded it with her so that's how he got spoke and and the heavens and the earth came into existence so the words we speak carry authority other yes go ahead ma'am I have a question that I was not able to understand as to how positional authority and the dedicated authority are like different it like what is the main difference can you stand like a simple manner okay so Sean I was just taking how to clarify this to you it's not that is different from the other that's not the point I was making for example okay so I have this phone with me right so it's the same phone okay but then what happens is you know this is the back of the phone this is the side of the phone so these are the dimensions of the phone so in that sense we have been given the authority and what to explain to us today is the dimensions so it's not different you know this authority is different from it's the same authority or in other words in a simple way on different sides of same authority okay did you did you understand ma'am so basically what I'm telling is that this authority that how we use in different ways the same authority but user in different ways okay so partly partly yes or rather let me put it this it's not that we use it in different ways we may use it in the same way but I'm saying the base is different okay so when I when I talk about delegated authority I'm using authority on the basis of the fact that Jesus has sent me or let's say once I'm fighting with the devil I'm saying you cannot do this because I'm a child of God so I'm fighting on the basis of I'm using my authority on the basis of the fact that I'm a child of God but it's a same authority I'm using it in the same way right by resisting the devil by aligning to the word of God by speaking the word of God so the ways are the same but by understanding that moment is you know a different basis each time maybe so that's how it is the origin or the basis is what is different so we are saying that based on different origins that we have this authority the same authority but we have it from different origins yes yeah so like is it like you see authority in like different situations like yeah of course just but their thought is the same authority is the same okay so the environment the environment changes but their thought is the same as what I'm saying is that right that's true yeah okay yeah thank you yeah sure uh okay I think of a you know very appropriate example which will give you a still better understanding hopefully next class I think we've just run out of time here so uh shall we wrap up is would that be fine if there are no more questions yes ma'am okay all right so let's create those then and I leave it open for anybody to lead and pray uh have any father thank you for getting us here today in class any father heavy father thank you for helping us understand about that thought you are any father and have any father please bless all those present here in this class any father and please help understand more more about your authority any father and more about other subjects I avoid any father in Jesus I pray amen thank you everybody god bless you have a very blessed day and today is the first of March when our prayer in the evening is going to begin so I encourage those who can make it in person for the prayer sessions to please do that those who cannot you can always connect online so have a blessed day and we will come back to our teaching session on Friday god bless bye for now


Hello! Welcome to the Handbook for Administrators of French Immersion Program Series. My name is Fred Kreiner. Welcome to Topic 7, Supporting Parents. Topic 7 will explore the kind of support an administrator can provide to parents who have chosen to enroll their children in the French Immersion Program. In the Handbook, consult Chapter 6, Section G. One of the reasons often cited for the success of French Immersion Programs is the strong role parents have played in establishing and supporting those programs and their children who are in those programs. In this topic we will look at concerns that parents may have, addressing those concerns or how you can alleviate those concerns, strategies for getting parents involved, and providing parents with support. French Immersion parents who have little or no background and or proficiency in the language, and by the way that is the majority of parents of French Immersion students, often have the following concerns. How will I help monitor my child's progress? How will I help with homework? Will I be welcomed in the classroom? Will I be able to volunteer at the school, even though I can't speak French? Will my child learn to read and write well in English? Will being in French Immersion affect my child's entrance into post-secondary institutions? And what about the transferability of language? The following suggestions from experienced administrators of French Immersion Programs may help you address the concerns that your parents have, talk to them about and help them understand the program, understand the curriculum and the teaching strategies that are used to bring that curriculum to the students, see how they can help with homework, visualize what volunteering might look like, and understand provincial assessments for their French Immersion child. But above all, it is important that you develop a comprehensive communication plan. Homeschool communication is a key ingredient of all successful school programs, and open communication is just as important in a French Immersion program since few parents understand and are aware of all aspects of how French Immersion works. Alberta Education has created curriculum handbooks and we encourage you to share those with parents. These handbooks include specific information on the Immersion program and French Language Arts, and they are available for all grade levels from kindergarten right through to grade 12. Encourage teachers to use these handbooks to prepare parent sessions on understanding the curriculum. Send home curriculum newsletters from the teachers, including examples of activities parents can initiate to support and complement classroom learning. Include user-friendly curriculum statements in their report cards. Ensure that your teachers are supportive, understand, and can respond to parent concerns. Yes, You Can Help is a very important resource to share with parents. It is produced by Alberta Education and Canadian Parents for French Alberta Branch. This booklet was originally written by two French Immersion parents and offers a multitude of suggestions on how to support students. There are over 140 pages of information, advice, resources, and inspiration for parents of French Immersion from kindergarten right through to grade 12. Some schools provide parents with a copy of Yes, You Can Help when their child enters kindergarten. It is also available online at the Alberta Education site. Encourage your parents to use this book as a resource at home. You can include excerpts from Yes, You Can Help in your school newsletters. You can offer information sessions for parents, such as panel presentations, that include an administrator, a teacher, a student, and a parent. You can hold parent discussion forums around the various chapters of Yes, You Can Help. Encourage parents to share their immersion parenting experiences, challenges, and strategies with each other. And encourage parents to visit a French Immersion classroom to see firsthand how easily the students adapt to the immersion environment and learn the language. These visits are especially helpful prior to registration in either the early or late immersion programs. Because most immersion parents are not proficient in French, French immersion teachers need to understand that parents cannot be expected to help with French language skills, such as reading and editing, or to help with homework. It is important that the skills needed to do the homework have been thoroughly taught in school and that homework really is only a practice session that students can do independently. School homework policies should be explained in the school handbook and shared with parents. Many parents wish to be able to help at school, and parental involvement definitely benefits students' learning. Some parents with proficiency in French can be encouraged to assist students with reading and other language activities suited to the parents' level of French proficiency. Parents with little or no proficiency in French can be encouraged to help with classroom activities that require little oral communication in French. They could also supervise on field trips with the understanding that their role is as an observer in French language learning situations. Parents can also work in the classroom on bulletin boards or displaying student work. It is important as an administrator to provide immersion parents with information on achievement tests and diploma exams, as you would parents of English program students. It is important to explain their purpose, their relevance to the program, and how the results are used. You may also offer additional information for immersion parents. Tell them that achievement tests are written in the language in which the particular subject is taught and that immersion students have the choice of writing their diploma exams in either English or French. Traditionally English language students in a French immersion program will write their provincial achievement tests in French. However, given the opportunity to write the same exam in English they will likely score a higher mark because they will be dealing with questions that are written in their first language. It is important also that you provide information on the results of these provincial assessments. Immersion parents need reassurance that immersion students' results compare favorably with those of English program students in all subjects areas including English language arts. Because French immersion is a program of choice most parents of French immersion students tend to be interested in their children's education and are very eager to be involved. At the same time the very nature of the program makes parental involvement seem more difficult than for most English programs. Here's some strategies for involving French immersion parents. Provide workshops for your parents on a variety of related topics such as study skills or French course for parents. You can model a French immersion class for parents during parent teacher evenings. You could provide opportunities for parents to observe and to be involved in their child's classroom. Encourage parents to volunteer in the school. Being in the school exposes them to curriculum and teaching helping to improve their understanding of what happens in school on a daily basis. Ensure parents are well informed as their children move through the grades and provide them with information with regards to French classes for adults as many parents would like to improve their own French language skills. It is also very important that your staff is aware of how they can support parents. Invite experienced immersion parents as speakers at evening meetings. You can also invite students to entertain at community events or invite older students and graduates to speak at meetings so that students can learn what to expect as they change from elementary to middle or junior high and from junior high or middle to senior high schools. It's important to ensure ongoing support and information perhaps through the local Canadian parents for French chapter. Providing parents with a collection of resources on French immersion, second language learning, etc. could also be helpful. A small parent library in the office area would make those resources readily available to parents. It is important that a school council of a dual track or multi-track school includes parents that are representative from all programs offered in the school. Failures to do so might create the situation where a single group will advantage one program over another in the school and that could cause you difficulty down the road. Homeschool communication is absolutely essential to a successful program. Try to use a wide variety of strategies to ensure that that homeschool communication is multifaceted and gets your message across about what's happening within your French immersion program. It is your role to ensure that parents feel welcome in the school, that parents have information about the French immersion program and that they can contribute to their children's learning through everyday activities, that homeschool communication is a key ingredient to reassuring parents that their children are learning well in the French immersion program, that good communication exists between the school and the home environment, and that parents are aware of all of the support that is available to them. One of those key support factors is Canadian parents for French. Check out what's happening and you should be aware of any local chapter that you have in your area or visit the CPF Alberta website. This group provides a lot of support for parents and has done so for many years. That's it for topic 7, Supporting Parents. This has been done through a collaboration of the Alberta Regional Professional Development Consortia, the Alberta Teachers Association, and the Conseil Français of the ATA. It was made possible by the French grants from Alberta Education.
