This project from maker MichaelH3777 makes good use of a Pi Zero W.I needed a way to check the level of my underground water tank so that I can manage water usage. A Raspberry Pi monitors the water level using a submersed 4-20ma sensor and sends MQTT messages over WIFI to Node-RED which is running on a Synology NAS, but it could be running on another Raspberry PI or other hardware.See full details here on Instructables.

Nothing becomes dated faster than most stand-up comedy.

DS2842-800 is eight times the 1-wireness of DS2484

We’ve got the DS2484 in stock, that our I2C-to-1Wire converter board and we also now have a prototype breakout for the DS2842S-800 which has 8 selectable channels. on one hand, you can always have multiple 1-wire sensors on a single 1-wire bus, but you have to deal with ROM addressing to know which is measuring what. by having 8 separate channels you can be more sure about what each sensor is sensing, and it was pretty easy to add support – just one more function for adjusting the active channel.

HSTX to DVI adapter board for RP2350

For our new RP2350 boards (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=rp2350), we are interested in the new HSTX (high-speed transmission) peripheral, which allows the chip to do DVI output with four differential lanes – 3 data and one clock – and no PIO usage. We added a 22-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC connector to the Feather and Metro and routed it like the Raspberry Pi DSI connector. You’d first want to connect it to an HDMI display, so here’s an HSTX->DVI adapter board. There are a few extra parts since we need to generate 5V and then level shift the I2C / DDC pins (video).

The NeoPixels hidden beneath the glue sticks guide the light in a curved path away from the LEDs. Because each glue stick connects two different NeoPixels, they are able to mix colors in the center, allowing tons of different color combinations to be achieved.See the full guide here.

A lipo charger with a buck built-in

We often have projects that want to run off a lipo, but you need an external regulator to handle the conversion from 3.7~4.2V down to 3.3V. This little board will do the job for you: it has USB Type C power and a 500mA charger chip for standard 1-cell poly/liion cells. a TLV62569 3.3V buck converter will give you a nice 3.3V output (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4711) at up to 1A max without worrying about heat or LDO power lossage. When the USB is plugged in, the power into the buck will auto-switch to it so your battery doesn’t cycle unnecessarily.

DS2482-800 is an I2C to 8x one wire port converter

We like our breakout for the DS2484 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5976), an I2C to one-wire converter – and got a heads up that there’s also an 8-port version called the DS2482-800 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/analog-devices-inc-maxim-integrated/DS2482S-800/1197437). at first this seems a bit odd: the whole point of one-wire is that you can share that wire with all sensors. But you don’t want to have to deal with the DS18b20 sensor addressing to determine what zone it’s in that would require hard-coding the unique identifiers. This way, you can have up to 8 temperature sensors that can be hot-swapped.

The AS7343 (https://ams-osram.com/products/sensors/ambient-light-color-spectral-proximity-sensors/ams-as7343-spectral-sensor) is a lot like the AS7341 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4698), but instead of 10 channels, there are 14! 12 are for light wavelengths, 1 is for ‘clear’ (human visible), and 1 is for flicker detection. Thankfully, the ’43 has the same footprint and pinout as the ’41, so this was an easy prototype PCB to ...

Colin Maykish’s weekend experiment resulted in a two-chip, eight-bit computer, the VR65C02. This minimal build features an actual 65C02 microprocessor and an eight-bit ATmega4809 AVR microcontroller (MCU). The 65C02 is the computer’s CPU, running 6502-native code, while the AVR effectively emulates the computer’s RAM, ROM, and I/O devices.The Microchip ATmega4809 is the same AVR MCU used in the ...

Awesome project and write-up from maker Adrian Cubas that incorporates both our SSD1306 OLED Display and INA219 .If you’ve ever worked on a tech project involving voltage and current measurements, you’ve likely felt the need to record those values for future analysis and decision-making. Personally, I’ve faced this challenge many times, especially when trying to determine the performance of Windturer Wind Turbine. Dealing with interconnecting cables to multimeters, ensuring the wind turbine doesn’t interfere with the cables, and making sure the camera correctly captures the values can be tedious and error-prone due to the number of variables to manage simultaneously. ...
