OPT4048 - a "tri-stimulus" light sensor 🔴🟢🔵

We were chatting in the forums with someone when the OPT4048 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/OPT4048DTSR/21298553) came up. It's an interesting light sensor that does color sensing but with diodes matched to the CIE XYZ color space. This would make them particularly good for color-light tuning. We made a cute breakout for this board. Fun fact: it's 3.3V power but 5V logic friendly.

So, the esp32c3 from seeed has these battery pads on the underside that allows you to use the integrated charge controller, which is nice for a cheap devboard.

Now, I don't have a hotplate, and the rest of it is castellated so it's easy to do by hand. My question is: Is this. Allowed.

just put some big vias through the board and flood them with solder from the underside. Is this stupid or will it work.

i dont live in canada but i feel the need to say that, no, the flipper zero alone cannot steal a car AND if you did get the necessary tools, an audrino with a cc1101 attached to it could do literally the same thing.

if the canadian govt wants to use this logic to ban a product, then literally anything used to steal a car (a hammer, a screwdriver etc) should also be banned. but i have little faith in the spineless losers that run the canadian govt since theyre using social media trends to influence thier laws.

please dont ban it in the us too please. its not fucking contraband, it a tool for learning and development just like any devboard you can get off of amazon or aliexpress.

[Media] ​​WiFi Devboard for Flipper Zero

​​WiFi Devboard for Flipper Zero The WiFi Devboard for Flipper Zero is a specialized board based on ESP32-S2, designed specifically for the Flipper Zero hacking device. This devboard enables advanced in-circuit debugging via USB or Wi-Fi using the Black Magic Probe open source project. It also allows for Wi-Fi penetration testing and connectivity to the internet, which is not provided by the module itself and must be implemented separately.

I should dust off my old NodeMCU esp8266 devboard and do something with it.

I actually really liked that there is a lua interpreter for it and it makes developing stuff with it relatively easy.

Actually I built a full on weather station with one that showed the current temperature and humidity on some 7 segment displays and served a history of temperature mesurements on a open wifi network.

i read this an immediately got sniped into making a demo.

I have the timers ticking down now I just need to draw them to the screen, but I forgot to eat dinner so that first.

That oled is small but it's the one I have to hand, once I have a code framework laid out I'll design a PCB or something to host buttons and then CAD a case. Not sure what kind of vibrator motors jlcpcb has in stock because if I'm careful I can build this around a nice simple devboard that has built in battery management, and then you can just order a pack of 5 boards from whoever.

I need ugly adhd tools.

A Compact Pi Compute Module Backpack 🍓🥧📸🎒

We used to stock a PiCam Module

that would plug into a Pi CM4 or CM5 - recently we went to restock it, but the vendor hasn't replied to our emails for many months. So, it could be a good time for us to design something that works similarly but with more capabilities. So we tasked Timon

with designing something for us - we just said, "Make the best thing ya can," and he delivered! Check this board out that plugs onto the compute module and provides many great accessories: USB connection for bootloading/USB gadget, USB 3.0 host type A for CM5, micro HDMI, micro SD card for data storage on 'Lite modules, camera connection, and mount, two DSI connectors, fan connect, Stemma QT / Qwiic connection, and RTC battery. There's one shutdown button for CM5 and two GPIO buttons plus one LED. Timon's gonna try to add an EYESPI connector for our next rendering so we can get some I2C/SPI/PWM outputs easily. What do you think? We wanted to keep it compact and not too pricey (aiming for <$30 cost. We'll see if we can get it there) but were able to craft fairly complex projects in a small space.

Last Monday of the Week 2023-10-02

Lots of neat new things out this week

Listening: New release from We Kill Cowboys, well, not new because they've been playing it live for a year but they mostly run in Cape Town so I didn't get to hear them even when I didn't live a continent away.

Also, finished COUNTER/weight from Friends at the Table. I think I have figured out one of the things I like about Friends at the Table, which is that they behave like a real world Darths and Droids table. They move between a lot of systems and they regularly have players playing at very different scales, often someone plays multiple characters, it's an interesting mix of very, very old fashioned TTRPG techniques with some very new styles of games.

The other way it's like Darths and Droids is that they have patently absurd names (Territory Jazz, Lazer Ted, Territory Jazz Junior!) and also have a really solid mix of detailed character driven storytelling and extremely silly comedy. Mako really bought all those robots in like episode 3 and deployed them in the final fight. Legendary.

Gonna give it a moment before I move on to Marielda but man. What a good show.

Reading: Digging through some 1999 weblog posts about contemporary server technologies in an abortive attempt at a computer history blogpost. Unfortunately turned out to not be very interesting beyond what can be easily found already.

I did finally track down where a furry writer I read pretty heavily in high school moved to when his website disappeared so that's like a ten year mystery that didn't need solving but damn if it didn't just get solved.

Watching: Movie night once again canned. Idly browsing random comedies on Mosfilm but not really grabbed by anything.

Oh. Conspiracy has a new 64k realtime demo out. I still preferred their 2021 entry but the particle effects here are very impressive, especially for a realtime.

Making: Prototype knife block prints, also picked up someone's scrapped undergrad quadcopter project cheap for parts so I am interested to dig into that.

Playing: Almost done with Breath of the Wild, beat the last Divine Beast (Medoh) and now just have to wrap up.

I was originally planning to finish "Every Main Quest" before hitting the castle but a) one of those requires basically going to the castle, b) the game suddenly spat out an "EX" quest where you do some weird fights on the plateau which I have now learned means it's a DLC thing. I will finish the first one and see how I feel but it's the first in a whole long-ass chain of themed quests that I probably don't care about.

I was also planning on doing the trial of the sword but I really do not enjoy replaying all those levels any time I die. Boring. Not doing it. I'll probably get through that soon.

In other news, new Twinbeard game: Gordy and the Monster Moon, adventure PICO-8 game from Jim Stormdancer. Cute little thing! I had a great time. Legend of Zelda-esque runaround story. You can really tell Jim has a kid these days.

Tools and Equipment: If you like me are trying to consolidate on USB-C for simplicity but you still have a pile of micro-USB devboards and also a watch charger and game controller, these tiny USB-C to Micro-B adapters are handy to just leave plugged in wherever needed.
