So am I not on mute? Okay, that's good. I'm going to talk really fast. This is coming from an outside world, sort of. So I hope that I can at least help you understand it. But I'm including a lot of references and things that you can look up later, because you can get the notes online after the talk is done. So we're going to talk about fonts. Who am I? If I look familiar, for many years I was a reporter embedded solely in the free software hacker community. I'm not sure what's going on. Anyway, I went away and I came back after a year and I'm working on font things these days. Fonts are weird. Let's just get that out there. In particular, they have this property where they are static shapes, but they get executed or parts of them get executed or at least interpreted by our renderer. There are certainly other components that we use in our free software stack that have this property themes for SDK. Come to mind, certainly SVGs, some web content, game resources, you can probably think of some others. So it's not alone in that respect. One distinct difference, though, is that users will use fonts on their system to create content of their own at will. And that's not necessarily true of the other things. So you may care about them in a different way because of this sort of distinction.  What happens if you don't? Let's look at some examples. You can get sued. This was a survey that this guy did just using the GitHub search API last year. Hundreds of thousands and the search API limits the hits that it returns. So probably more than that. Any commercial proprietary font you want to find probably in there. He was giving this talk to type designers. So this was foundries who will at least contact you and demand that you get a license. Lesser things can happen to MailPile is a mail app and they used a font that was free to use but not free to redistribute. They had to change that. You can inconvenience your own workflow if you don't pay attention to these things. You may just have other more practical matters. This is more well known. Wikimedia decided it couldn't buy licenses for everyone to recreate their logo and their wordmarks so they had to change the font they used in it. Anyway, when we talk about licensing issues, there's about three dimensions. We can examine they are not utility dimensions though. There's the law, there's the community norms and then there's the licenses that we actually use. Bear in mind though that community norms are subject to a lot of wiggle room depending on how you define both of those terms. So let's do the law really quick. The typeface is not copyrightable. When we say the typeface, we mean the design.  On the other hand, files are. Digital files are copyrightable. That's how a lot of software copyright and copy left works. Typeface names can be protected as trademarks and in fact that's the most common thing you're going to run into legally speaking. On the other hand, typefaces can be protected by design patents but that rarely happens. I think Adobe is the only foundry that ever does this as far as I'm aware and there's reasons for that that we'll see in a minute. And this is, I'm talking about how it works in the U.S. We can go back and see how we got here. These are the cases you can look up if you care about these things. 1974 Eltra tried to copyright a typeface and got told by I think Ringer was the copyright office, sure person however that works. No element either alone or in combination can be separately identified as a work of art. That doesn't feel good if you work on typefaces all the time I'm sure. In 1976 the Copyright Act I guess got revisited and the House Committee on this looked at it and said there's nothing here that fits into the meaning of the copyright bill. 1988 things changed a little bit. This is the first time that the copyright office distinguished between the design and software files and obviously in the 80s this is when the whole software industry was working through copyrights and ULAs and things like that which it hadn't done necessarily in decades past. 92 they revised that a little bit. Sorry I should back up actually. In this distinction that they made initially they said that your copyright notice should include a disclaimer about the design issue. In 92 they realized that didn't make any sense so they dropped that. How about everywhere else? Well Japan is explicitly the same as the US where you can't get a copyright. A lot of places, a lot of jurisdictions, there's no real case law or anything. The UK and Germany only two places I've found where there is copyright for typeface designs however that doesn't make any difference because you have to sell if you want to make a living in this you have to sell to anyone in the world and anyone in the US can buy your typeface and doesn't have to follow that. Is this urgent? There's a distinction there. He's saying that a typeface to meet the test of copyright ability in Germany has to pass an originality test. In any case they don't really bother because foundries in Germany want to sell to everywhere else in Europe and to the US. The patent thing comes from Adobe suing Softkey trying to get a patent on the typeface and they were told that you could get a design patent which is one of those funky things about the shape of your iPhone but you have to follow some conditions in advance like not showing the design to anyone for at least some predetermined amount of time a year or two I think. The trademark thing, this is what you normally see because it only makes sense that the name is what people see in the font menu after all and you generally want to have your company name somewhere visible for these people so it's sort of the only option available and that's why it gets so much attention. Another example I don't know if anyone recognizes this name Rasmus Anderson he has this font that he released called interface in 2017 a web guy worked for Facebook I think some other places made it big with Jobbox. He announced this typeface on August 27th that's the Twitter URL this is the announcement. After a year of work here it is you can see the time on there 5am I assume there's some this is just what I looked at at whatever jurisdiction I was in. That's what it looks like it's on the left on the right is Roboto because he basically took Roboto and tweaked it which sort of came up when people started getting angry at him but just a few hours later somebody said by the way there's already a font called interface where you wear that and this is what that link was interface that already existed was by Dalton Mog. Dalton Mog created the Ubuntu font they actually work on a lot of free software projects they're not going to take this lightly and if you were reading ahead you see his response yeah I knew about that this is not going to end well with him obviously. In fact it didn't just a few weeks later Dalton Mog mentioned this to GitHub and he had to change the name of the font to enter UI is that better or worse I will try not to take a position on that. The best irony I found on this is someone responding to him said hey what would happen if he took a common word like Dropbox and tried to type right there and he was like yeah but that's not a common word I don't know how he defines common but word existed certainly and I think my take on this is that when all you have is the trademark you're going to defend that with no gray area. In the fossil world in general for name collisions we kind of put up with those in hopes that unless someone is dying goodwill will just take care of the problem how did we get to this situation to understand it why is a typeface not copyrightable? You have to understand that copying designs of other people has always been part of how typefaces were made. People have complained about this this is 1929 Rudolf Koch is a very famous designer from Germany and he was like this is highway robbery Americans stealing my designs. It went the other direction too it really picked up speed in the 1840s with stereotyping that word as we use it today it comes from this process where you take a mold of plaster or something of a bunch of metal type set out in the page and then you electro plate it and you get a plate that you can use without the original metal and people would just use this to copy their competitors designs and some foundries in Skada which is a Dutch foundry just sort of stopped making new stuff of their own and made that their entire business. It kind of got worse in the 1880s when you had milling machines that could sort of automate creating the original version and not having to go through the electroplating process but it's actually older than that. Going back to like the day after Gutenberg went into business there are people okay I can do that too and in a sense you copy what's successful what your competitors are offering you want to offer that too and you know it's possible because up until the mid 20th century the typeface was not a product it's important to understand that originally typefaces were something that the printer had to make in order to print the book and the book was the product and that changed when industrialization took over because then the real business you wanted to be in was making printing products, making printers making printing presses and things like that and that continued up until the 1960s and 70s and for those people the product is the printing machine or the type setting machine. The typeface or the font is just a feature of that but that did change in the 80s bitstream you may have heard that. In 1981 some designers left Linotype and started bitstream and they took with them all the fonts in the Linotype library. Linotype was still in the machine business at that time. They said they had permission not everyone agrees with that. They certainly weren't the only people to sort of take this approach compugraphic with them and started this whole sale copying other people's stuff. And today we have this weird situation where there's a lot of similar fonts from competing companies. A lot of those are refivals which is another interesting thing to look at. You have a really old typeface from hundreds of years ago. Is it okay to reproduce it yourself? Well if you search on a site like MyFonts which is sort of a general index you can turn up hundreds of things for Grand John or Garamond which are the same look it was immediately mislabeled with Garamond and then they figured out Grand John was the guy's name and they're not all the same but everyone has it and they are all basically in the same model. This is acceptable this is a community norm thing and one of the reasons it's acceptable as long as the designer is no longer alive anyway is that we can't escape from the past. Language you don't reinvent the alphabet no one will use it. It has to be something people recognize. So the norm is don't do this when someone is still alive and make sure you credit the source. The best comparison I can come up with to this is it's a bit like musical quotation. You can do variations on a theme by Bach but you're supposed to mention that it's variations on something by Bach and acknowledgment sort of recognizes this that it comes from the past and that language is something that has this context that's unavoidable. It's also some practical issues here that no two people will do a revival the same way. This URL there's a talk from the A-Type I conference here by Eric Blockland which is currently offline. They're moving from Vimeo to YouTube I think. He gave the same in raster form to 74 people and asked them to digitize it. You don't get the same thing back from all those people. So this is another reason the community norm is it's okay to revive someone else's design because you're not going to get the same thing at the end of it. This is a really famous quote by Matthew Carter who's a designer. You see this other places. You don't need to read this. He's talking about Galliard which is his version of this grand john that everyone has done and he says here oh I didn't actually base it on real drawings I based it on his style. Okay more pertinent though if he goes into detail is that well you know the original thing from hundreds of years ago doesn't tell me everything I need to know for today. I have to do new character sets and things and there's stuff he didn't have to deal with. So yeah this is another practical reason why revivals are accepted. An interesting corner case happened here in Belgium though Sands Guild. This was 2011 open source publishing which is sort of an artist collective. Is there anyone here from OSP? Someone is in town and was maybe going to be here. They auto-traced the Guild Sands and I mean in software auto-traced it and then released it as a font. They were doing a workshop. They did some other things as well the same weekend and there's a blog post about it here. They wrote a letter to monotype which owns Guild Sands corporately to tell them about this and to state their reasoning and then they mentioned it on typophile which is a discussion forum for type people. The reaction from the community was okay that's fine although they didn't think that the results of the auto-tracing itself were all that great and they didn't get a response from monotype from the legal people anyway although what I heard in email just recently was they did later monotype did get in touch about a different project of theirs about the name collision for the trademark reasons and my take on this is that without copyright on the design trademarks just evolved this way to bear the bulk of the legal protection it's important to understand that hundreds of years ago typefaces didn't have names when the printer just made it because they needed to print something that happened again with industrialization when people were trying to sell a catalog to you of what you got with their printer and trademarks are a big concern for open fonts. There's some rough standards community norms you kind of have you know Adobe Minion Pro Minion is probably something that they have a trademark on but there's this basic idea that people can use a common name and the middle wall as long as they specify their name before it and if there's more than one version you put that as a suffix on the end but it's really a bigger issue because of what our open font licenses tell us to do and that brings us to the third dimension here the open font license normally the one we mean we talk about open fonts you're probably thinking yeah but there's actually more than that because there's the GPL with the font embedding exception which predates the open font license by a few months. I went to the Debian archive there's a lot of licenses on font packages out there they didn't all fit on the slide you'll find Apache, you went to font license various iterations of the X project the Aladdin Free Public License, anyone use GoScript, it's a different license there's a Lattec license in there, PTFFL is a paratype it's somebody who made their own license, sticks is math fonts license, GPL without the exception if you want to go down a rabbit hole just research this this is the font where the legal status for it being free is the public statement somebody of the company made have fun with that and in reality if you're running a free operating system you will have to deal with non free fonts as well varying degrees of non free there's academic fonts that people want to use and people will install the Microsoft core fonts because they want to but if you're working on a government project Dubai font is what you have to use if you're working on a red hat corporate thing the red hat corporate font is interstate which is not an open font so they have to exist on the same system I hate to be the bearer of bad news but mostly when we talk about open fonts we mean the open font license this is the URL for it in 2005 version 1.1 was just a clarification of wording it was created by SIL which is a non profit that does linguistic work and they did it in conjunction with discussions with type designers and in a lot of ways it's really more like a free content license it deals with use and redistribution and modification it says derivatives have to be OFL and nothing else it talks about embedding it says that the document you build with the font doesn't take on the font's license has a simple termination clause one thing it doesn't mention though is source code you can apply OFL to your sources but you don't have to it makes sense if you do I mean you can say it applies to a painting but it just doesn't mean anything and in particular it doesn't say anything about the source format so there's plenty of OFL fonts where there's no source at all and there's OFL fonts where the source is in something like VFB which is a binary undocumented format used by font lab which was a big font editor 10-15 years ago you don't have to have any build scripts you don't have to know how what options were used to generate the font and the upshot of that is that just being under the OFL doesn't make it compliant with some standards like Vivian and Free Software Guidelines that's not my opinion you actually get the package blocked for upload if it doesn't have buildable source and there's a lot of those packages ending up that can contribute and non-free other oddities worth mentioning you are required to bundle and executable if you sell the font this can be a simple script but it's sort of it was designed to assuage the fears of type designers and then there's the other thing I want to talk about as we mentioned there's two versions of this there's two versions of this except there's actually four versions because there's a functional clause called the reserve font name clause it's the third clause I think and it says any modified version has to rename the font because I've reserved this name obviously this stems from the trademark issue right and the font issue that's the actual text of it right there is the font name as presented to the users right and it's in the definition section you have to put it in the copyright statement at the very beginning and they're very clear about what modified version means that deletes or substitutes the original accounts and that includes things like sub-setting a font if you're serving it over the web you maybe don't want to send the full font especially if it's Chinese which is very large so that's triggered automatically in those cases and it includes rebuilding the font if the result is not bit identical and that can be problematic SIL has an FAQ about this because it sort of became a bigger issue and but they're very clear do font rebuilds necessitated name change yes they do in my opinion this means that you really need to be treating this as a different license it's different requirements imposed on you if you're using it google fonts I have some google fonts published they told everyone who had an RFN they had to rename it or you're creating a separate version for us without the RFN because we can't do all this and still manage the project often violations happen let's look at an example Cardo it's a Debian package I think it's in contrib that's the url this is the home page it's a medievalist font you may think you're medieval but are you the medievalist look at the news here number two I'm going to show you what that says be careful there's unauthorized versions out there they're not the same people are taking things out reducing the character said he's upset about this right home page if you see where that icon is that's where the license begins copyright statement very beginning copyright David J Perry with reserve font name Cardo okay the package is in Debian let's look at the copyright file there copyright David J Perry no mention of the reserve font name how did that happen and there's a changelog that says we had to take the manual out because the manual has these weird conditions on it now as it turns out the Cardo zip file you download doesn't include the OFL as a separate file but it is in this manual it's a PDF I can tell you that it's also in the font binary in the proper field so this is a bug yeah I promise I won't file an issue about it I wanted it this will be true when I was talking about it today though but my opinion is this stems from us not recognizing that the RFN effectively makes this a distinct license that we have to deal with and fonts out there I would ballpark it as like half it's certainly not like a 5% thing and they have violations trivial to find literally Cardo was the first one I opened up when I decided to try and find one in the Debian archive and the interesting thing is that I think most people who use RFNs in their fonts are actually wanting some trademark protection and it's just it's available to them so they choose it so I think we could do a better job of offering them something trademarks in general maybe you don't get as much attention and free software is you know patents and copyrights to do I attempted to I took a stab at this and I haven't actually pushed anything out to this repository but I think it's worth revisiting like you can offer people maybe a shall we say boilerplate trademark statement the difficult thing that I found when I was looking at this is how to determine what's useful for developers I think maybe not triggering it on sub-setting would be useful maybe you could have an option where you just say okay you can make a derivative font you just have to tack a suffix onto the end of your use of the name I don't know but the whole way RFN affects packages and the way it affects downstream projects and people who use the fonts I haven't really been talked about I would like to discuss that ask me there's a lot more in terms of actually that we could have talked about on the subject of font licensing there's some really interesting questions about how much you change a font before it's different and how you attribute people but yeah I'm happy to take questions on anything I mentioned today yeah I the question is fonts these days include things like you're talking about open type feature rules which are substitution rules that match sequences and then say replace this with a ligature and those can actually get very complicated in index scripts and in Arabic where they have to do a lot more shaping than we use so yeah that's sort of in that gray area where okay it's not general purpose terrain complete language stuff that you're dealing with but it is meant to be run by an interpreter or a renderer that executes these instructions yeah there's other issues involved there to like the fact that people don't really share that code even when they're working on open fonts there may be some benefits to treating that more like source code that we could learn from and study but yeah it's every time they revise open type it gets more complicated and so the code component gets bigger while the visual component kind of stays the same anybody else well okay the question is does the reserve font name better I guess it depends it probably depends on what your trademark policy is like for other things I will note that you don't have to put the full name of the font as the reserve part and this is something a lot of people probably don't realize either SIL which created it their fonts are officially called SIL Gentium or something like that and in the copyright statement they've used that to say you can make a derivative and call it Gentium but just don't call it SIL Gentium and that's probably a good middle ground for people I think it's sort of just not well understood by people who release fonts yeah like I don't think I knew that until I started putting the talk together a couple weeks ago so yeah that's true too it's the consumer issue a lot of the stuff is just hidden from people and that's kind of true for licensing of fonts in general people will just they know they have to get a license to use it on the web or to use it in an app or something but the details probably most people don't look at yes so the question is if you have an open source project and you have to interact with type designers with graphic designers okay with anyone if someone is making logos and material for you using a font what do you have to worry about you're not in that case you're probably not dealing with the issue of making derivatives of the font so the derivative triggered RFN clause probably doesn't matter to you and in fact a lot of the other details dealing with derivatives probably don't matter what you want is for anyone to be able to download a copy of the font and use it in Inkscape or in Scribes or whatever the designers should have a license that's true I will make a comment about Nate's talk it is very rare organizers are very expert about this Nate's talk was really amazing and we are so glad that he did all this work to study it and I really want to thank Nate again for being here


Hi, I'm Andy from readle and in this video we're going to be talking about a frame or a node now when we say frame We don't mean the kind of thing that you would put around a picture in the intercom world a frame or a node refers to a Physical structure into which different cards can be inserted to make up the central unit to which other elements will connect The frame itself can't really do very much. It needs the cards to operate But in the same manner the cards themselves can't operate alone. They need the frame We also use the term node when we're talking about a frame because it is a connection point for lots of different elements in your system We can use both frame and node interchangeably But typically we use frame when we're talking about the element the unit more as a physical unit and node more as a connection point When we use node It's also analogous to in a computer network a switch in that lots of elements are connected to it It makes the connections between them and then the data can flow


That's right! I played the wrong theme there for a moment. It's still sitting right there in my little clicky window file. Hello! Welcome to the show! It's me, JP. It's time for John Park's workshop here on this sunny and hot Thursday afternoon here in Los Angeles. Thank you everyone for stopping by and by stopping by. I mean, hey, thanks for watching, first of all, and also thank you for joining in on the various chats. By various, actually, I mean two. So we've got our YouTube chat, which I'm keeping an eye on, and we also have our Discord chat right over here. So if you're somewhere else and you're wondering where all the conversation is, you could check out our Discord server by heading to adafruit.it slash discord and look for the live broadcast chat channel. That's this one right here. We've also got a whole bunch of other channels. You can see them right here as I scroll through them. We've got pet photos. We've got help with Zirka Python 3 printing, Arduino audio projects. General Project helps. Super great place to go with questions or to help people out. Zirka Python Dev. There's even a tagged thread in there for synthio feedback if you're into that. And on and on. So yeah, all the chats. Excuse me. All right. So that's the Discord. Go check it out. But also, I want to thank Quinman16 and Davodesa and IsThisYouTube and Randall Bone for stopping by over in the YouTube chat. Thanks for jumping in. And let's see. Let's get on with it. So what have we got today? First of all, I've got a coupon code for you. So if you want to go to the Adafruit store and pick up some great stuff and maybe get yourself 10% off discount on the way, then when you're checking out, type that right there into the chat or rather into the coupon code box. That is today's coupon code. I don't have any idea how to pronounce it. It's the name of an Ikea product and it's something we'll be working with today. I think I looked and the only pronunciation guide that showed up was in Danish, which probably is fairly close to the Swedish one. Mope, I think. Mope is how the computer on the Google pronounced it. But anyway, M-O-P-P-E, Mope, Mope, Mope, however you want to pronounce it, you can use it by typing in M-O-P-P-E in the coupon code field on the way out.  It won't work on gift certificates, subscriptions or software, but it will work on stuff, physical goods, things. So go get some things. You can head right over here to ateafruit.com. That'll take you right to the store. You can see here we've got links at the top for things like products. That'll take you to the new products, feature products. You can go by categories. You can just scroll down and see what's what here, some banners and things. Go get yourself some good stuff and use that coupon code on the way out to get a nice discount. All the things. Andy Callaway asks, what happens if I try that coupon code in Ikea? Collapse the universe. Don't do it. All right. Also, I will give you a little recap of my Tuesday show. That's it right there. That's JP's product pick of the week. I do that on Tuesdays at this time, which is one o'clock Pacific, four o'clock Eastern time. During the show, I show you some new product or sometimes a oldie, but goodie from our archives that I give you a huge, huge discount on. And by I mean, we, the team, particularly new products team, jelly. Thank you everyone who makes that happen every week. We gave you this one for a whopping 50% off this week. It was this mini ice cream pad. Here's a little one minute recap. It is the game pad QT. It is a seesaw chip based Stemma QT connected game pad. It has the two access joysticks. That's an analog dual potentiometer right there, as well as the four ABXY buttons and start select game pad QT plugged in over Stemma QT cable to the feather board. I want to move my servo arm there that I happen to have connected a neopixel stick to. I can just move that analog LEDs to different colors. So I can set those to red or yellow, green, some steering on one axis. And I want to do some speed stuff on another. You can see I can set the speed, variable speed on the DC motor there using that little thumbstick. So it's just a ton of IO all in one place. Great for robotics projects, as you could tell there. It is the game pad QT. All right. Let's see what else is going on. There was a super cool guide, by the way, that Phil B posted. Let me jump over to learn guides here. And this is related. This is actually related to that product pick there, I think. So this is the NES emulator, Nintendo Entertainment System emulator for RP2040 DVI boards. And a super great guide. Phil put three different ways to do it. So there's a feather RP2040 DVI, which is actually what I'm using back here to do my little video. Art display, a little sketch from Todd Bot there. This has an option on this version to use the I2C game pad WeChuck adapter, which lets you use stuff like these Nintendo We Classic controllers. It's upside down because they have that WeChuck adapter form factor there.  So I actually wondered if what it would take to actually make our little game pad, which is also an I2C game pad, work with this instead for super, super compact and not very ergonomic version. And given the way that Phil has this laid out, I think you could probably even plop that onto the feather tripler there. And I believe the game pad has the same footprint. It doesn't have the same pinout, but it does have the mounting hole footprint. So you could probably attach that there. PenPengu, does that actually emulate NES on RP2040? It does. It's incredible. It really does. In fact, I put a little demo video together. You can see it right here. It does have sound, by the way. I know LaMoure wasn't sure she mentioned this guy last night. It does have sound. You can probably hear it there a little bit. So that right there is happening on Pico RP2040, but this runs the same on all three. And it's a big group project that spanned many different GitHub repos. We got it from Frank Hodemaker, but his came from Jay Kumagata, and Shuichi Takano, and Luke Wren.  Phil B added controller support, ported it over to the feather. So there's a bunch of people who've worked on this, but yes, it is a NES emulator, works great, outputs over DVI, HDMI port, audio and video, and looks great. It is crazy what people do with the RP2040. Also, hello, Johnny Bergdahl. Maybe you can help me with this. Today's coupon code. I don't know how to pronounce it. It's an IKEA product. We're going to show it later because I'm using one. If you can write phonetically and we can figure that out, how the heck do we pronounce that? I think I saw Danish pronunciation online that said it was mopi, something like that. Anyway, that'll get your 10% off in the store today. Check out Phil's guide because you can get most or all the parts you need to use the feather version of that. If you have a Wii controller, you can use our WeChat adapter. You can also use a USB controller if you don't want to, although it's not as lag-free as the Shift Register real Nintendo controller versions of that. All right. I had a question over in the chat. I wanted to address. Quinman16 said, how's it going with the PyPortal update? I do not know. That is why I didn't answer that question. I know you asked a couple of times. That might be a question for Lamor on Ask an Engineer, so maybe check back on Wednesday. I'm not sure if that's the ESP32S3 version. I thought maybe you should talk about that on Ask an Engineer last night, but if anyone knows. Mop followed by an E, says Johnny Bergdahl. Mopi. Mopi? Mopi? Short for moped, or mopped. Mopped? I don't know. It's going to get butchered by me. I'm so sorry. Let's now jump into a Circuit Python Parsec. All right. Let me grab my coding window here. For the Circuit Python Parsec today, I wanted to show you how you use Neopixels inside of the Circuit Playground Library. So the Circuit Playground Library is a high-level library that gives you access to pretty much all of the sensors and outputs and inputs and things that are on the Circuit Playground Blue Fruit and the Circuit Playground Express boards in Circuit Python, but with a very easy to use library. So this one I have set up to light up Neopixels in a couple of different ways. And the way it's done here you can see in my code is I'm importing from Adafruit Circuit Playground CP, that's the Circuit Playground Library, and then I don't have any setup necessary. Normally you'll have to do some setup on some Neopixels if you're using Straight Up Circuit Python. In this case, it knows what board we're using. So all I have to do to call the Neopixels is if I want to light them all up, I use this cp.pixels.fill followed by an RGB color value here. So in this case 20, 0, and 5, red, green, blue, and that gives me this sort of pinkish fill color that you see at first when they all light up. Then since I've imported time I can sleep for a couple seconds, turn them all black, sleep for another couple seconds, and then this is the other way that we can light them up inside of Circuit Playground Library. I'm saying cp.pixels and then in brackets I can pick any number 0 through 9 of those 10 Neopixels and give that one a specific color. And that's why we can see a little cyan one and then a yellow and a pink one lighting up at the same time there. That's because I'm saying okay for the Pixel 3, that's the fourth one down here, we'll light that up with 0, 25. Then I light up Pixels 7 and 9 with their own colors, turn them off, and then loop that process. And so that is how you can use the Circuit Playground Library in Circuit Python to very easily control Neopixels. That is your Circuit Python Parsec. We have one suggestion from the peanut gallery there. Steve said, what if you do cp.pixels.fill? We'll try that. By the way, this is another nice thing about this library. You can see here in my REPL I have hit control C so I can get a prompt, a command line prompt. And now I can enter in Circuit Python commands directly to the board. So if I do, let's say, from a to fruit Circuit Playground, import cp, that's going to import the whole Circuit Playground Library. And now I can do cp.pixels.fill, 0, 0, 0. That'll clear them. I think that needs to be a tuple, actually. Now we can light up individual ones, or we can try Steve's idea, which is fill. It does not work. We do not have fill spelled like the name Drat. Also from the Discord, here's another idea. We can do specific ranges of pixels. So if we do bracket, let's say, 4 colon 8, close the bracket, oops, equals, let's do green, 0, 40, 0. These go up to 255, but that's very bright. Oh no, I can never remember how do I, now I've done it. Well, that was going to be so cool, except how do you escape the darned, I thought double return. Someone remind me, how do you get out of that? I don't know how to get out of that. We can put that up into code, however. So if I hit control D, that will start running the board again. So let me just get rid of some of this code up here. And I can simply, oh did I use the wrong bracket? Is that why? Oh yeah, I had a parentheses. I made a booboo there. That's okay, we'll do it right here. So if we do cp.pixels bracket, what I say 4 through 8, close the bracket, equals, oops, and hit save. That will light up just pixels 4 through 8. Unmatched number of items, what did I do wrong? cp.pixels equals, does it not want to tuple there? Unmatched number of items on RHS, expected 4 got 3, what does that mean? That's what happens when I start winging it. No idea. That should work, right? Let's do just one of them. Probably doesn't like, let me do this. By the way, if you're trying to test just a single line like this rather than looping it, you can do while true pass, and that should just light them up and then do nothing. Should not need RGBW, that would be weird. All right, so let's try 4 through 8. No, what is this RHS business? Right hand side. All right, let's put a zero there and see. That's weird. I don't know what's going on with that. All right, maybe we'll make that into a circuit python parsic when I figure out what the heck is actually going on. Yeah, 4 through 8 should be 4, 5, 6, 7. Oh, it wants four colors. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, it won't just loop them, huh? Fascinating. All right, we'll play with that another time. Okay, so let's get back to this project that I started to show last week. Yeah, thank you. Tythe says it wants the same number of tuples as array elements. That makes sense. Thank you. Let me jump to Chrome window here and hold on one second. Okay, so this was the project that I kicked off, I believe it was last week, and the idea is to make a simplified build of this ambient machine. And so the idea behind this is that we have all these great toggle switches here that allow us to turn on looping samples of things like a long evolving piano line with lots of reverb or some sounds of water or white noise to create a nice background ambience where you can flip these switches to decide what you want your custom sound to sound like. This version by Yuri Suzuki has a, I believe a custom PCB, I'm not sure at all, I don't know any info about what the board is like in there, how it's working. I believe it's sample based, it's not synthesized. And so we need essentially a mixer in software, we need samples, and we use WAV files because they stream pretty quickly off of SD card. And we're going to have, just like this, an amplifier and speaker built in. If you look at, I believe there's a nice picture of the back of it. Let me open that image. So this has this beautiful walnut case for it. You can see there's a sort of speaker grill on the back there. I believe it's just an on off switch and a power over USB on the back there. So that's the idea. And what I'm planning to do is build this with the new Metro M7 and SD card reader with the WAV samples on it. And then a, maybe a diode matrix of switches or an IO expanders, so IO expanders so that I can have a lot of toggle switches. Unlike this version, which has, I believe 32 switches on it. It's an 8 by 4 grid. I'm going to make mine a little smaller. And that's partly because I wanted to use a almost ready made box solution for it, for the cabinet of this thing. And that's where this comes in, this mope, mop, mope. Anyway, this IKEA thing. You may have seen these before. You may have one of them. These are about $30 at an IKEA near you. And they are these birch, Baltic birch plywood drawers. And you can see they have a sort of chipboard bottom on there that's, it's got a little bit of wiggle to it, which is actually kind of interesting because that means we could potentially slide a template into there if we wanted to use some, some colored plastic or paper. So I took some construction paper, cut it to the same width, but I made a little, little error there on the side. I think it does, it's a little too small. But it's a little longer on the top and the bottom, so it kind of curls and pops into place there. So that's one way to get a kind of nice looking bottom. I don't want to deconstruct this. This is finger joints, lots of them. It's been glued. There's no good way to pull that apart. So I'm not getting that bottom off since it's got a little routed groove. And in fact, you can see that's the routed groove there that that chipboard bottom slides into during assembly. And these are pretty neat.  But since they have the same finish on the back of the drawer as they do on the front, if you don't want this little finger pull here, you can repurpose these, paint them. There's a lot of modifications people like to do with these online. If you look just at Ikea, Mop, Moppe, Moppe, mods, you'll find all kinds of things where people have added drawer pulls by flipping them around to the back side. People have painted them, stained them, added other hardware for things like card catalog type of look for little labels, stenciling them and on and on. They actually take stain quite well. I haven't tried it, but allegedly and watching some some videos on YouTube, sometimes Baltic birch finish doesn't stain very well. But these appear to stain quite nicely. So I think I may go ahead and stain mine sort of a darker walnut or cherry type of color. And you can see lots of people stacking these up, turning them into giant pieces of furniture, which is pretty funny because, you know, they're humble little, it was a nice wall-mounted one. These came in different sizes. This is the current one with these large, medium and small one, two and three drawers in them. So that's what the thing looks like there.  So for 30 bucks, it's pretty good. It's actually quite a bit of Baltic birch plywood for the price. I don't know if I could buy it and laser cut these myself much cheaper than just getting these. And so my idea with these, let me jump to one second about that view right there. That'll work. So one of my ideas with these is that we can use that existing chipboard base there and drill it out for all of our switches.  We're just going to use single throw, single pole dual throw switches, the narrow ones, and be able to run with this ratio. I think a five by four grid will work nicely. And my idea was actually really like the ratio of the medium drawer. So let's do apples to apples there. There is the small drawer next to the medium drawer. I really like this ratio. It's very similar to a four by three television set kind of ratio. I like that means it's not quite as direct a design ripoff as the original. You could potentially use the largest drawer depending on your, what do I have in there, something blocking it, depending on your speaker that you wanted to put in there, how much space you want. You could do a massive, probably 12 by eight or something like that switches depending on what you need. I'm going to leave that one out of it though and use this box. And what I did was I went ahead and made an array of circles with some center guides. And what you could do, I actually cut this a little, I need to cut that a little smaller so that it fits precisely. What you could do is just tape that down and go ahead and tap a little starter point or pilot hole and then drill those out carefully and off you go. And then maybe you could add your paper template or paint it, mask this and paint it. I went and went an extra step with that and used the laser cutter to cut that out. So first I did a little test on a little piece of card stock there. So I have my little guide and that's how my little toggle switches will fit through there. And with that confirmed, I went ahead and did a cut on one of the boxes. So now if you take a look we've got this one still has its hardware so it won't poke very far through. But we now have a pretty nice, grab one with no nut on it there. There we go. We have a pretty nice fit there.   We've got plenty of room in the back which is nice to do our speaker, amplifier, microcontroller board. One idea I had about this though since it would be nice to get a bit of a resonant chamber speaker box type of thing happening in the back here. And I didn't want to go and get extra material is what if I use the small size one which actually fits nicely over that pattern. You can see here that pattern actually still fits inside of there so I don't think I'll bump into any of my switches. So this will fit over here like so and I can have a little wiring harness coming off of these that'll plug in. Rest the electronics can be mounted in here somewhere and then I can again cut, drill, slice speaker holes out of the back here somehow and attach the speaker to it maybe even put some cotton batting in there some stuffing in there to reduce vibrations but get a nice bassier type of resonance out of that and then that would go in here somehow maybe on some little risers screws not sure but so obviously it's not going to look like the the art gallery piece of the original and it does stick out a little on the back there. You could cut this on a table saw to get that flush I probably won't for the purposes of this guide I want to want to keep it simple. I'll use the laser cutter just to make it look neat and easy and repeatable but it would be I think totally doable just with a drill drill press or a hand drill and then what's left after that is to add some nice little feet to it so I didn't find anything I was hopeful I might find something that a drawer pole or something that would work well but the design I wanted to do was to kind of keep with this mid-century modern type of styling so what I have started with is just again a direct rip off of the original sorry to say it so if you look here I'll show you what this is looking like inside of Rhino and I can show you how I how I put this together so if we look at a top view here I started with a measurement of just the exterior of the medium drawer and then I also measured the the plywood which averages to about 6.2 millimeters I think it was 6.25 millimeters so let's look at yeah so there's my main curve and then I'm making an offset version of that there we go so you'll see that the things that I'm picking here are the when they light up green those are the nodes kind of traveling through the the flow of the build here in Grasshopper so I'm extruding both of these and using one to cut out the other to make sort of the the basic box there I'm also cutting out that little channel groove so you can see that's where the little chipboard backing lives and then I took a point I actually just started from the origin down here since this I built the original curve starting at that origin and I went and created a rectangular array of what my holes will be and those just get lifted up and cut out of out of a base there so this is what my model looks like so that I understand the space of things you can see here I've also added in sort of simplified version of the legs these are only angled on one dimension I think in the original they have a diagonal here but that gives me something that I can kind of verify the design with if we take a look at a rendered version there that's what I use to visualize it and then I just really needed that set of circles and the reference point of one of the corners to know where to print or laser cut print a guide for drilling or laser cut so the next step for me will be to also model in the smaller cabinet design the holes that'll be cut out of the back of that for the speaker fit the parts into there that's one of the things I really like to do especially because the Ruiz brothers build so many of our parts you can get a metro you can get a add on board you can probably find one of our speakers or just mock up the the dimensions and the hole guide for how to how to drill that in there and that lets you really visualize how the thing will fit before you go and start cutting things up and drilling things so that's that's where I'm going with it I I think these feet you could just probably take three layers of of some plywood or other wood and cut them and glue them together or glue them first and cut them or take a little chunk of oak or something like that so those will be pretty pretty straightforward and maybe just pre-drill the tops of those and the some little holes in the case there and just screw them in from the top that doesn't have to be anything too fancy so that's the the progress on that and the idea on that I just started to put together a fritzing diagram of my metro m4 or rather a metro m7 to connect it up to a sd card now I can't remember if this is a new new new don't ask don't tell but a little birdie told me we may have an sd card version of a metro m7 kind of like the grand central and if you know the grand central has the sd card reader built right into it I think it can run over sd i o super fast there's possibly something like that in the works on the metro m7 which means eventually you wouldn't have the additional breakout but for right now I'm going to use a breakout version of that right there which is our little spi micro sd reader and that'll actually interface almost entirely with the spi pin set that's down here other than three volt this runs on three volt and that pin I think is five there but with those I should be able to stream the wave files off of here and mix them what I need to figure out is actually what the mixing strategy is of the switches looking at the original and we can do it our own way but I believe we could potentially just limit it to five sounds just which of the piano sounds there's you know one two three four of those there's one two three four water sounds there's one two three four chime noises and so on and just pick the ones or do we mix a bazillion of those all at once using audio io and audio mixer inside of circuit python it should be possible uh mostly comes down to I think how how fast we can get the wave files off of here since it's going to be a probably one of these um do I have one right here no I've moved it probably be one of our three watt uh four ohm speakers that are about that big um where I lost one to uh it's mono so I can get away with mono sound which is great kind of cuts in half the data requirements there and um probably the more was suggesting like 16 16 kilohertz uh maybe even lower sample rate to keep the the wave requirements lower let's see questions uh AT makers bill says why grasshopper instead of fusion what are the pros cons um I think I've talked about this before I mean rhino is a nerbs modeling surface modeling program which now also has sub d's and t splines and other things so it's a hands on modeling program very different there's there's not so much in something like a straight cad package like fusion or solid works there's less of the idea of you hand clicking things and mushing them around so rhino does that on its own but then grasshopper is the parametric modeling add-on that lets you use any of rhino's features but from a flow graph you can add little bits of python code and other languages and some nodes so you can use it for parametric stuff it's used a ton in architecture for parametric designs which is cool um I know it and I've used it for a long time as one of its advantages of a fusion it's been around since about 1998 uh so it's a lot more um tried and true um relatively speaking to something like fusion and it uh is still to this day a license it I mean buy it and and use it there's not not fees and levels and stuff you just kind of buy it it's about thousand dollars not cheap but um if you use it a lot for years um that's potentially a better deal for you than something like uh fusion and then of course there's blender which is free kind of different but can do very similar things um I hate getting into 3d package wars because they're silly but there's a lot of options out there you can use open scad you can use this you can use that I happen to use rhino uh and mentally the the model of how it works works for me so I don't know if that's a pros and cons list so much as uh so much as a uh that's kind of what it is uh let's see what else do we have questions that I can't answer ate a fruit i o is not working devices are not connecting something about iss certificate update uh I would head to um either the forums or help with projects or help with ate a fruit i o uh in our um discord go to ate a fruit forums so you can go to the ate a fruit discord um let's see all right so it seems like people would love to make this um example I was trying work on the circuit playground blue fruit there so let's do this um I believe the questions were how do we get that little list of pixels to light up a certain color and let's try this someone said you can take um will that work take the color we want to use and multiply it by four that'll work one two three four uh these kind of lists uh so four through eight is actually four five six and seven it does not include eight so that's why I used four there um other suggestions you could if you didn't want them all to be the same color I'm assuming we could do uh let's do three of them one color just for expediency bump bump bump and make this one green uh so one two three four so you can make this sort of list of colors to work from and of course there are there are more sophisticated ways to do this than just kind of one line uh like that but uh uh yeah okay so if it looks like a lot of different ways this will work thank you everyone for for posting your ideas on that I appreciate it um it is so easy for me to get confused by tuples with commas and parentheses and commas and different brackets but we did it uh so thank you uh let's see tyeth gundry in the ate a fruit uh rather than the youtube chat said the ate a fruit is a cell certificate change it's the 20th ie today that it was going to be transitioned probably just need to update your code firmware libraries to the latest copies um oh yeah not iss ssl uh now here so I didn't know that but yeah if your certificate changed then you'll probably need to refresh some stuff and uh update your code to use your latest you should be able to go to ate a fruit IO uh to your account settings and grab the the new ssl certificate uh let's see uh oh dj debon three you uh thank you yeah dj debon three said appreciate that I'm making the parsec snippets available now I have a I have a github repo um and if you look at the uh one minute version or two-ish minute version of circuit python parsec that there's a blog post in a youtube video I now have a link to my github repo that's just that week's code dot pi nothing else nothing fancy no explanations but um if you look at the video and you want to copy the the code you can grab that now the the nice thing is that since I'm now broadcasting in 1080p most places um the code itself should be clearer if you're if you're looking at this that should be pretty clear you sometimes can even snapshot it and then copy and paste it later out of your snapshot or your screen grab uh at least on macOS it'll do a pretty decent job of optical character excuse me recognition from a uh a screenshot if you put it into notes or send it in messages uh paul cutler says we're going to start linking to the github repo in the weekly newsletter too oh that's great very cool thank you thank you for that no pressure gosh I liked that you didn't have my code to copy before because it could be messy but now I gotta give it a a double check um let's see pen pango said I wonder if you could use slim enough latching push buttons so you could still store the finished music box drawer inside of the mope shelf I like that idea retractable what if we had retractable uh all those toggle switches could uh dj devin says screenshot to ocr sounds cool don't think windows snipping tool does that there may be yeah I don't know there may be third party tools that do that um but it's uh it's definitely cool that that uh it'll screw up a lot of um spacing tab certain letters o's will become zeros like it's it's pretty dangerous for code you can spend more time trying to debug uh the copy paste then if you just transcribe it yourself sometimes just depends uh okay I think that's it I think that's all I've got for you today um so I will be working on I've got my trusty ruler and caliper and one of the small drawers so I'll be working on building uh that model inside of my um my CAD drawings so that I can match them up there uh cut this out put the electronics in there and now I've also got to get cracking on testing out my uh streaming of the WAVE files on on off of the micro sd card so that'll be that'll be next hopefully I'll have some of that to show you next week so please come on back um I will remind you again the unpronounceable to me my apologies um coupon code this week is m o p p e mop that mope that'll get you 10 off in the store on anything you want to grab that is actual physical goods and stuffs uh if you head on over to the adafruit.com and just put in slash free you'll see the incentives that we have for different buying levels so if you spend 99 or more you will get a free perma proto half size breadboard if you order 149 or more you'll get the breadboard and a kb2040 299 or more you get the breadboard the the perma proto board the kb2040 and uh a uh circuit playground express you will note we don't have the free ground shipping ups happening right now due to the ups uh strike or impending strike so that's no longer on the table for the freebies but the other stuff is pretty good stuff uh so go go check that out and uh and buy yourself some cool things to build cool stuff that's our motto here uh okay i think that's going to do it thank you everyone for stopping by the show today uh i will be back on tuesday with a product pick of the week we will have 3d hangouts on wednesday we'll have show and tell wednesday evening we will have ask an engineer after the show and tell uh i've left off and i'm sorry i've left off on fridays we generally have deep dive with foamy guy uh and sometimes a saturday bonus stream from foamy guy on his own youtube account so uh stay tuned for all of those good things and uh look forward to seeing you around thanks everyone ready for industries this has been john park's workshop bye bye now with proper song


You're welcome back to the Breakfast on Plus TV Africa, it's now time for Today in History and on this day in history we're going back to when a particular incident occurred in a football field in Mubi that killed tens of people, you know, this happened on the 1st of June 2014, you know, Nigerians in the northern part of Nigeria, not a part of the country had gone, you know, to watch a match, a football game and the match was over, you know, people were just crossing the pitch trying to find their way homes when someone from among the crowd, you know, detonated a suicide vest and we saw that there was an explosion, about 40 people died alongside with that suicide bomber. The perpetrators of the attack were not exactly known but we know that it was at this time that the Bokoram insurgency, you know, had began to really put a strong foot in Nigeria and just a few days before then, about two days before then, there was a Bokoram attack as well, killed about 48, 78 people, attacks weeks before, killed tens and tens of people, so it was on this day in history that this particular situation occurred, this bomb blast in Mubi at Amoa state, but even though people say the death toll was much higher than what was reported, there were about 40 people that were heard in the media, but this was what happened on this day in history. There was, of course, nationwide condemnation of these attacks saying it was barbaric, but of course we know that Bokoram continues to exert a very, you know, very terrible influence in the country, even with the Islamic State of West Africa, like we know it, and all the abductions of school children, the Mushri since being the, about 200 girls in the Islamic school in Nine Justice, so that's what happened basically this day in history.  So those times, of course, I pray and I hope that we never go back to those times and we as a country are able to continue to frustrate their efforts and, you know, rid the country of these insurgent groups and these terrorist, we should never, you know, experience the times of, you know, bomb blasts in the north ever again, even if there's a report of something that happened in the river state a couple of days yesterday or the day before. But once again, we as a country should never go back to those times. All right, moving on, let's talk about something now that is maybe, you know, on a lighter note, a happier story. One of the biggest TV networks in the world on this day was founded in 1980 by Ted Turner and Reece Schoenfeld, both of them founded CNN, the first 24-hour television news channel on this day in 1980. Over time, it has been able to develop to have about 3,000 employees and it's worth, I think last year was worth about $5 billion. It was, like I said, the first 24-hour television station and it debuted on this day. It signed on from its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia with a lead story about the attempted assassination of civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. It went on over time to change the notion that news could only be reported at fixed times throughout the day. The world was at that time used to reading news at certain times, 4 p.m., 9 p.m., whatever time, you know that they choose, but CNN chained that narrative and became a channel that read the news continuously 24 hours. Initially available in less than 2 million U.S. homes, today CNN is seen in more than 90 million American households and more than 370 million households and hotel rooms internationally. It was the brainchild of Robert Ted Turner, a colorful, outspoken businessman who was dubbed the mouth of the South. After his father died by suicide in 1963, he took to over to business and of course expanded it. In the first year of operation, CNN lost money and was really called as the chicken noodle network. It gained significant traction with its live coverage of the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and the network's audience grew along with the increase in popularity of cable television during the 90s and well into the new millennium. It has obviously been a success story and I like seeing these type of things and the amount of investment that of course has gone into CNN to make it what it is today. First of all, of course, being the first 24-hour news channel and then second also because of the investment, the facilities that we're put into it to be able to cover the Persian Gulf War like I mentioned and then also being a television that has continued to be a first here and there. It has also produced some of the most famous TV news anchors in the world, the Christian Amon Paws, the Jonathan Manns, the Oh Lord, Larry King. So when I was younger, I could call 10 to 15 CNN anchors off the top of my head and I can't remember them. What's this guy with glasses now? Anyway, it has produced some of the most famous TV news anchors in the Wolf Blitzer, that's the name I was trying to remember, Richard Quest, some of them who of course, what's his name? Anthony Baldain who passed on a couple of years ago, Suicide and Rosemary Church. Anyway, I'll stop there. I just was saying also Osirogio Bono and the likes. Amen. It was very fast this morning. It was on this day that CNN was founded in 1980 and yes, we celebrate with them I guess. So I think one of the major, major moral lessons because I'm going to, I'm taking moral lessons away from this story with Tetona and his partner, how they started CNN in 1980, is that if you have a dream, no matter how much people criticize you, never give up. I mean, in all the news articles back there in 1980, all the way to 10 years later, people called CNN Chicken Noodle Network and said, you know, the prediction was that CNN would never last past six months because Tetona was really operating on a very tight budget. He had put all his life savings, all his money into CNN. You know, they say what they're going to be, you know, be known by is they going to be giving live breaking news stories, 24 hours. And a CEO of CBS News at that time said, how would people watch a patch news network against ours? I've been on for about 50 years with lots of money with our budget and all of that. But they never gave up. See many, many decades later, CNN is one of the most foremost media organizations in the world. They have franchises or what do you call them branches, so to speak, in different parts of the world in Nigeria and the most remote places. You know, so the moral lesson there is never give up. If you have a dream follow through, people will definitely criticize you insult you, try to beat you down, but ignore that and move on. Also a very, you know, a huge part of Donald Trump's losing the election. That's the power of media. Yes, and happy anniversary to CNN today. We'll be back after the short break, moving into our first major conversation for today. And of course, is back to the Southeast, a continued conversation, but this time with a group called Nkata Ndiom. We'll be back.


Like for for me as a geophysicist we used to have we used to travel when we did seismics We used to travel with a shotgun double barrel shotgun. We used to have 12 gauge blanks in the shotgun So this is what we do is it as a geophysicist, right?  I have F and love, right?  Close it up put the barrel into the ground with the barrel into the ground Go step a little bit far away, right? And you have a sort of a trigger. It's is geared for seismics this 12-h 12 gauge shotgun, right and And You press the button 12 gauge shotgun fires into the ground Okay, and the size the seismograph and stuff get triggered with the waves as soon as the shotgun goes off, right? So we do seismics, right? 12 a gauge shotgun Affin powerful man. Affin powerful. You should have seen the dirt flying up into the air, right? Learn how to use your weapons, right? you


Here's a major key to stronger friendship with the precious Holy Spirit. Awareness of His presence. The Holy Spirit doesn't come and go, He faithfully abides with you. In those moments when you sense His presence more strongly, like for example moments of prayer or worship, it's not that He's coming nearer, rather it's that you're becoming more aware of His always-abiding presence. By living in that awareness of His presence, by choosing to keep His nearness ever on your mind, you position yourself for a constant daily fellowship with Him. When you realize He's there in every moment, no matter where you are or how you feel, then you'll begin to live in that awareness and living in that awareness of His presence will transform you in every way.

This is dock number 20J173C, we are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin near new and used Jeep and Jeep Cherokee headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. This vehicle has the 2.4 liter four cylinder motor. It has been fully safety to and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change all the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this Jeep is 100% ready to go. Billet Silver is the color we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device turn them on right now because it is definitely your best way to check out the quality and condition of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you'd like to check out all the photos on this Jeep in the upper right hand part of your screen is a link to our website click that and check us out there. This one comes with the 17 inch painted alloy rims and it has firestone weather grip tires. These are 22560R17s and they have a really good amount of tread left. I'd say probably about 50 to 60% of the tread left on those tires looks like it has brand new brakes in the front. Driver side front fenders in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on that. It comes with the LED running lights, the HID headlamps and the factory fog lights. Front bumper is in excellent shape. Didn't see any major scuffs or scrapes on that. And the hood is in excellent condition as well. The latitude package gives you the chrome trimmed seven slotted grille as well as the chrome trimmed Jeep lettering. The passenger side front fender is in excellent shape as well. And the passenger side rim no scuffs or scrapes on there. This one does have the cold weather group and you can always tell if it's got the cold weather group because it'll have these windshield wiper heaters on there. So your wipers never stick to your windshield. And as you go down this side of the Jeep take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close buying you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle. You can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here so that when you do get here there are absolutely no surprises. And that is why we offer the Summit Auto Fast Pass option in the upper right hand part of your screen. We have a link to our website where you can apply for financing, get pre-approved, see a payment quote, even appraise a trade off from the comfort of your own home. So when you get here all you have to do is drive the vehicle of it, be all set to go. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, maybe even just a hair bit more. As we come around to the backside LED tail lamps, rear bumper is in great shape. You can see any dents, stings or cracks on that. And the rear gate itself is in excellent condition too. This is a manual raised gate. Back storage area is very clean. It does come with the factory subwoofer here. And this one does come with a tire inflator kit because it is a front wheel drive. Those seats do fold down for extra storage. You can see that the rear shocks are doing a nice job holding that gate up. Shuts nice and solidly. And as you go down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side. No dents, stings, scuffs or scrapes on that rear quarter. Do you get the roof rack rails on there? And for full disclosure this back rim is in nice condition as well. Down the driver's side doors look good.  There are no rips, there are no tears on the seats, they're in really nice shape. Power driver's seat, lumbar and both these front seats are heated. You also get the all-weather formats with the cold weather group. Auto headlamps, tilt and telescopic steering wheel. Power windows, power locks and power mirrors. And as we hop inside the vehicle here we'll turn the ignition on so you can see the miles and everything. You can see that this one has 33,364 miles on it. Digital spinometer, outside temp and compass display. And it's got almost full tank gas so you're all set to go there. Comes with the leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, cruise controls on the right. Bluetooth and information center controls on the left. Comes with the 8.4 3C radio, AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. This is also where your backup camera shows up. You have your heated seats, heated steering wheel controls right there. And then you can do your climate controls here as well. And then the cool thing about this radio is if you wanted to put navigation on it you definitely could. It's a $595 option. We can do it here at the dealership. Ask your sales professional for more details.  And you do get a USB, AUG's and SD card slot down there as well as a 12 volt power point. And your 9 speed automatic transmission. Passengers side format and seat are in excellent condition. I didn't see any rips or tears on that. You do get the in-seat storage there. And the headliner is in really nice condition as well. Map lights up there, 911 and assist buttons in that rear view mirror. And the dash all looks really good on this vehicle. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll check out under the hood and then check out all those LED and HID headlamps in the front. The back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. You do get the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may want to put back here. The thing I like most about the Cherokee is 10 airbags on these vehicles including knee bolster airbags in the back. Very safe vehicles. I've actually owned three of them but nice to have your family in a safe vehicle. 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. And you get those all weather floor mats back here as well.  You do get child safety locks on the back doors as well. And the bottoms of the doors all look really good too. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything on there. And I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you will have been able to tell just how clean this vehicle is all the way around inside. Now get those LED headlamps, the HID headlamps. Our LED running lights, HID headlamps and the factory fog lights there. Under the hood we have a 2.4 liter multi-air motor. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this Jeep has been fully safe to end inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this vehicle is 100% ready to go.
