I have seen magnetic wall paint. You use two coats, and as it is near black, you paint your color coat(s) over it.

Do you think this is how Batman started?

I decided a number of years ago that bearishness had nothing to do with body hair. If it did, they would have to be standards, a certifying authority, and there isn’t.

Nope. After running it for a few minutes, the speaker started to smell. It's a 3W speaker, and I think I'm pumping too much current into it.

A tone of 7 Hz pumped through a small speaker produces a soft rumble not too different from an idling automobile. I've figured out how to change up tuples that control the colors of the NeoPixels and add lines to produce different chase effects.

I think this part of the project is done.

The Adafruit programs showed me how to initialize board.EXTERNAL_NEOPIXELS and audiobusio.I2SOut, and fix the AI-generated code. I learned which modules to include and which I could delete.

Tinkering with the code let me generate different colors, speeds, and tones. I think I have it.

Is it cheating to have an AI "write" a chase light program?

The AI isn't perfect. I had to fix a few lines because the AI didn't completely understand what differences an Adafruit RP2040 Propmaker Feather had.

But, once I had an example of code, I could start modifying and adding to it.

The main reason I could never get through Dune, Foundation, and Tolkien - the names of all the characters.

E-books on a tablet? Maybe the Lenovo tablet from Barnes & Noble.

Mounting the speaker may be a bit of a challenge. There are no ears to the speaker 🔈. We think we can cut acrylic sheet with the laser cutter and fashion something. We will know better once me cut out the iris and install the speaker grille.

I was hoping that you two knew each other.

If I remember right, it's a deep-fried burrito.

Who told him that we have nukes?

After all, it *IS* Hurricane Season.

I wonder, if a hurricane threatens South Florida, do you think they'll test his weather theory over The Bahamas?

I did not know that this was going to be on the test.

Using the program unedited, and I can indeed light the single NeoPixel. I have yet to wire up a NeoPixel ring for testing.

For the sound, I was thinking of a low pitched hum, say around 40 Hz. The "toy" speakers I have don't do well that low. I'm looking at a 1.5 inch speaker for that.

I managed to go down some rabbithole that told me that I needed to upgrade pip, VisualStudio and ... I kept getting an error.

I need to figure out where I was, but I think I was trying to crate a wheel for simpleio. Whatever that means.

7/end for now
