Electronics, Adafruit-themed printable high-contrast images for babies or anyone … (PDFs)

I understand that babies are attracted to high-contrast images because they are visually stimulating for their developing brains to process. High contrast refers to a significant difference in brightness between two adjacent colors or objects. High-contrast images create a clear and distinct separation between the two, which can appeal more to a baby’s eye than more subtle or muted contrasts.

During the first few months of life, a baby’s visual system is still developing, and they cannot see as clearly as an adult. They are also more sensitive to contrast and can perceive more significant differences in brightness than adults. As a result, high-contrast images can be more engaging and stimulating for babies, helping to hold their attention and support their visual development.

In addition to being visually appealing, high-contrast images can also help babies learn to focus and track moving objects, as the sharp contrast makes it easier for them to distinguish different parts of the picture. Many toys and books designed for babies often feature high-contrast patterns or images.

Here are some we have printed out in addition to some M.C Esher, and Penrose triangles.

This is also pretty much an excuse to print out Burtonesque everythings.

Rugged mini computer #piday #raspberrypi

Screen Shot 2022 12 30 at 1 32 33 PM

Reddit user u/boxed_pi had a need for a portable and durable computer…so they made one! Simple Pi set up housed in an ever dependable pelican case.

It was a fun build and has already helped a lot with my business. I’m doing some minor quality of life improvements.

Its already been trampled by my flock and dropped in the mud but doing great.

See all the details!

Get a Raspberry Pi Pico pinout on the command line #PiDay #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @RPiSpy

Displaying the pinout of a Raspberry Pi Pico is possible using Matt’s “picopins” Linux bash script. The script displays the pinout in a color coded format showing the location of power, ground and GPIO pins.

I find it useful if I’m coding Pico projects on my laptop or Pi 400 and need to check the location of a GPIO pin.

The bash script runs from the Linux command line and I’ve tested it on Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu.

This can be a useful addition to other pinout resources such as the official Pi Pico diagram.

See details on Raspberry Pi Spy.

Timelapse Tuesday – Odette The Owl #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Odette The Owl

Every week we’ll 3D print designs from the community and showcase slicer settings, use cases and of course, Time-lapses! This Week:

Owl Twist
By Noe Ruiz
https://www.printables.com/model/348322-odette-the-owl
CR10S Pro V2
Wood PLA
25hr 34mins
X:243 Y:185 Z:188mm
.25mm layer / .4mm nozzle
6% Infill / 1mm retract
178C / 60C
183g
60mm/s

An owl can help teach us about 3D printing and mechanical engineering. This model features a print-in-place mechanism that allows the bird’s head to rotate. Designed to be 3D printed without any support material, this model utilizes techniques for optimized 3D printing.

A circular pattern of sweeping pillars creates a wireframe mesh that makes up the body of the bird. Featuring elegant curvatures, the mesh allows one to see through the body to appreciate the internal support structure that keeps the head separated from the body. The internal support structure embodies a swirling texture that eludes the act of spinning, rotation and twisty connotations.

Designed to be played with, one can puppeteer the owl by using the built-in handle on the bottom of the internal structure. The design invites the user to take control of the creature and give it expression by rotating the head as the user interacts with it.

Triangular textures adorn the two wings on the sides of the body. More triangles are used in the neck invoking a collar that resembles a bird’s feathered mane. A pair of eyes, a modest sized beek and sleek eyebrows remark the simplicity of the owl’s iconic appearance.

DESK OF LADYADA – The Great Search: Simplifying TFT Products @adafruit @digikey #deskofladyada

Hiya folks, we’re back for a quick check-in at the Desk of Ladyada.

This last week we’ve been doing some work on simplifying our TFT products: historically we’ve used low-cost and market-available TFT and OLED displays that required hand soldering (technically they are designed for hot-bar soldering but we don’t own a hot-bar machine). With our new TFT supplier and the volumes we tend to go through, we can revise the PCBs to use plug-in type connectors, which make the PCB a tad more expensive but require a lot less hand labor.

Thach also finished the RP2040 bit-bang USB host with MSD support so we’ve been able to redo all our testers to use a Pico board rather than Teensy 3.6 – just in time since we’ve run out of our stash of Teensies!

Ancient Egyptian Murals Show Lifelike Doves, Kingfishers, and Other Birds #ArtTuesday

18005c722250876749a98726099782b8

Fascinating ancient art studied from early reproductions. Not only significant for art history but also for biome history. Via Gizmodo:

According to the study authors, the Green Room paintings are “some of the most skillfully rendered and naturalistic images of birds known from Dynastic Egypt.” Indeed, the likenesses depicted in the facsimile paintings are unlike most Ancient Egyptian artworks you’ve probably seen.

The animal renderings are exceptionally lifelike—so much so that the researchers identified specific species that presumably lived in the region some 3,300 years ago. The pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis), the rock pigeon (Columba livia), and palm doves (Streptopelia senegalensis) were all identifiable. Another bird may have been a reddish turtle dove or a shrike.

Portraits on Maps #ArtTuesday

In the work of English artist Ed Fairburn, maps are landscapes for portraits. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:

As an avid map collector, he is fascinated by the urban landscape and cartographic design. “The more maps I collect, the more I want to create,” he tells Colossal, sharing that transportation routes like roads and bridges can be likened to the veins or arteries of the body.

Fairburn’s intricate drawings directly respond to the layout of the original map. “I allow the composition of each map to inform the composition of each portrait,” he explains. An interest in the body as metaphorical landscape and vice versa also informs how he approaches each piece. “In a wider sense, I hope that my work pushes viewers to think about those similarities, and perhaps offers a reminder that we’re shaped by the landscape around us, which we in turn are also shaping.”

How to Add a Raspberry Pi Pico Reset Button #piday #raspberrypi

Pi pico reset button 01

Handy tip for Pico lovers from Raspberry Pi Spy:

Resetting the Pi Pico usually requires unplugging the USB cable either from the Pi Pico or your computer. It’s a lot easier to add a reset button to your circuit which you can press instead of unplugging cables. It’s easy to do and I tend to add a reset button before starting any Pi Pico or Pi Pico W project.

Ring in the new year with some picowbell designs

one of the successes we had with the adafruit feather / featherwing format is that we spent a year making a new feather board once a week – for a total of 50 boards and accessories. for 2023 we’re seeing a lot of folks using the raspberry pi pico and pico w (https://www.adafruit.com/category/875) so we were thinking we could ‘port’ the designs over from ‘wings to ‘bells. we already did the proto cowbell (https://ift.tt/jQSiUCI) and now we’re designing a port of the adalogging ‘wing (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2922) which adds a QT port, RTC with battery, and microSD card. the battery holder just barely fits! – video.

A Raspberry Pi case for a Raspberry Pi Plex server #PiDay @Raspberry_Pi

Chebe recently set up a Plex server on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Model B – 4GB RAM). It was working well, but the disparity in the weight of the small Pi, and that of the SSD drive, not to mention the surprisingly stiff cables, meant it would go flying all over the place. Seeing a cool case in the Pi SSD Media Server tutorial, they gave it a go.

The Rugged Metal Pushbutton with LED Ring – 16mm Momentary is really cool. It has a wonderful weight and texture, and the action on the button is very satisfying. I got one with a green LED. You need to visit the product page for the diagram of which pins are which, the tutorial doesn’t make it clear.

The 3D printed model files are pretty solid. I printed them here in the same filament (ROSA3D PETG Standard Light Green and ROSA3D PETG Standard Black) as the turntable. (Are you noticing a pattern yet? Just like with fabric, I try to use up what I’ve already started into.) The print-in-place handle is especially nifty.

Text Promptu 3-D model #3DThursday #3DPrinting


Point-E: A System for Generating 3D Point Clouds from Complex Prompts shares:

Alex Nichol, Heewoo Jun, Prafulla Dhariwal, Pamela Mishkin, Mark Chen
While recent work on text-conditional 3D object generation has shown promising results, the state-of-the-art methods typically require multiple GPU-hours to produce a single sample. This is in stark contrast to state-of-the-art generative image models, which produce samples in a number of seconds or minutes. In this paper, we explore an alternative method for 3D object generation which produces 3D models in only 1-2 minutes on a single GPU. Our method first generates a single synthetic view using a text-to-image diffusion model, and then produces a 3D point cloud using a second diffusion model which conditions on the generated image. While our method still falls short of the state-of-the-art in terms of sample quality, it is one to two orders of magnitude faster to sample from, offering a practical trade-off for some use cases. We release our pre-trained point cloud diffusion models, as well as evaluation code and models

Stackable Screw Tray Box system #3DThursday #3DPrinting


MeisterEdel shares:

Hey there,

I was looking for a help to sort my small screws and parts when dissassembling devices or knifes.

There are already some available (stackable tray by mdcaptures or Customizable Magnetic Screw Tray/Box by rainer) but they did not fit my needs.

So I designed my own interpretation of a system to organize all the small screws and other medium sized parts.

Animated ASCII Christmas Tree and Hanukkah Menorah in your Linux Shell @LundukeJournal

The Lunduke Journal of Technology writes:

I’m a big fan of ASCII and ANSI style art — dating back to the BBS days of the 1980s and 90s. So it’s no surprise that I enjoy sprucing up my Linux terminal with ASCII animations from time to time.

Well, it just so happens that this week is Hanukkah. And, when I went looking for Hanukkah themed ASCII animations for Linux (or other platforms)… I came up completely empty handed.

So, I did what any red-blooded nerd would do: I whipped up my own Bash script and put it up on GitHub.

I looked around, and found an adorable animated Christmas tree BASH script that had colored lights flickering. And, since it was released into the Public Domain, I went ahead and added that animation to my script as an option (with credit to the original author, of course). Because… why not?

Artificial Intelligence Designed These Dainty Nike Sneakers #WearableWednesday

Screen Shot 2022 12 16 at 9 22 31 AM

Fad or the future there is no doubt that AI is all over the place right now. The instagram account @AI_ClothingDaily showed off these lacy creations which seem perfect for those wedding reception get downs.

Via HypeBeast:

Each pair takes a familiar Nike silhouette — such as the Air Force 1 and the Vapormax — and gives it a lace-centric, intricate makeover. Some fans have likened it to an imaginary Simone Rocha collaboration, while others note the incredibly abilities that AI beholds. Regardless, we find pairs like the “Vapormax” stacked with double-bubble Air sole units, sitting pretty alongside dainty crochet flowers, woven plastic lace-like uppers, and silky laces.
