OPT4048 – a “tri-stimulus” light sensor

We were chatting in the forums with someone when the OPT4048 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.

However, we made a mistake with the headphone wiring, accidentally swapping ground and mic, and we’re experiencing some noise in the headphones when the Class D speaker output is active. We’re rerouting the board to separate the speaker outputs from the TRRS jack to address this. While at it, we’re also exposing the MICDET and bias pins—interestingly, the mic detects can double as a potentiometer input for volume control. The board grew by ...

TPS65131 split boost converter revision

We designed this split +12/-12 power supply board based on the TPS65131 a few months ago, but it languished while we worked on some other projects. We had an issue where the negative power rail was unstable. Thankfully, we found a thread that suggested slowing down the VNEG feedback loop with a 51k resistor. We hand-soldered that in, and it worked nicely. Then, the other fix was to flip around the trimmers so the turn direction matched the expected behavior. This should be good to book a second prototype, and then it can go into the shop.

Japanese engineers talk about difficulties they faced and their expectations for the Switch 2

Automaton Media recently published an interview with Japanese game developers who worked on the Switch. They discuss specific challenges as well as what improvements they’re hoping to see for the Switch 2: One unique quirk that engineers shared about developing for the Switch was the unexpected issue caused by the name “Switch” itself. Since “Switch” is a common noun in programming, it occasionally interfered with existing keywords and commands in the code. This was a problem that the developers hadn’t anticipated at all until they actually started working on the platform. Read the full interview here.

Heeeey, we’re just having a super chill vibe here at the desk of Ladyada—writing a driver for the uBlox M8Q, which has both I2C and UART interfaces. As expected, it can do everyday NMEA output, but it can also do UBX, a “compressed” protocol for advanced data reads and writes over I2C/UART—or even SPI on some other chips. However, the UBX protocol is a hugely complex driver to implement, with dozens of commands and hundreds of flags. But why stress when you can viiiibe? We’re using this beast of a spec as an excuse to try out the new Claude ...

With our latest work on getting HUB75 RGB matrices working on the Raspberry Pi 5 we can now create stunning LED displays. But what if we want more pixels? At some point, we max out the bandwidth of the RP1 chip, but we can still squeeze out additional performance by updating the PIO commands to output two or three matrix strings instead of just one. Thus, the Triple Output RGB Matrix Bonnet you see here! We’re using the classic Active-3 pinout with a switch to select whether the 4th or 8th pin is connected to address E. Since we expect ...

Like its sibling, it supports MCLK-less I2S input, making it a great choice for any microcontroller or Raspberry Pi. It also features a stand-alone “hardware mode,” where mute and format can be set via GPIO pins—no I2C configuration required! However, unlike the PCM5102, it also supports I2C/SPI if needed, with built-in filters, numerous configuration flags, and a pin-settable gain option in hardware mode for attenuation.

To solve this, we designed a small adapter that combines our sunken USB socket and USB plug breakout. This handy USB-C “fixer” adds the necessary CC resistors and includes a power-good LED indicator. It passes standard USB 2.0 signals (5V, GND, D+, D-) and fits onto any USB-C cable end, ensuring compatibility with a wider range of devices.

HexBoard MIDI controller strikes a chord with RP2040

Via Raspberrypi.org Musical instruments are dependent on physics and maths for their sounds. A guitar string changes pitch when its physical properties change, be that string thickness, tension, or length. A note from a saxophone, or any wind instrument, changes according to the length of the instrument that the air is vibrating through. Any physical instrument needs to have some physical property that the player must interact with in order to play music, and this naturally limits who can play, and what can be played.

How do Radios Work?

Concerning Reality shared this video on Youtube! In the modern era, radio waves control everything. From the tunes in your car driving down the road to the police radio in the car that’s pulling you over for not signaling your turn.

While the root of modern connected technologies may be radio waves, the underlying tech that makes radios possible is a rather simple concept to understand. Any person can make a simple radio in their home for a few bucks, which is ...

Tear its little Tyvek wrapping, and spill a packet of glassy silica gel beads into the palm of your hand; they won’t hurt you. They are made of the same stuff as sand: “Silica” means “silicon dioxide,” which is the primary component of most drinkware, windshields, and the screen of whatever electronic device you’re reading this on.

Updated Guide: Adafruit LPS28 Pressure Sensor The Adafruit LPS28 (LPS28DFW) Pressure Sensor is unique in that it can handle a much higher range of pressures: almost every other sensor we’ve encountered tops out at about 1260 hPa. That means they’re totally fine for measuring altitude for most human endeavors, we tend to stay above sea level. However, for some scientific or deep-water uses, 1260 will not cut it! That’s why we’re happy to stock a sensor that can go down to 4060 hPa – that’s as low as -43,000 feet below sea level in air or 40 meters underwater. This ...

Sense the Breath of Your Skin #WearableWednesday

Researchers from Northwestern University have developed an interesting wearable device for measuring gases emitted from and absorbed by the skin. Check out the full study published in Nature. The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health. These gases flow into a small chamber within the device that hovers above the skin without actually touching it. This no-contact design is particularly useful for gathering information about fragile skin without disturbing delicate tissues. Every ...

The photos and video by Tony Cenicola are especially great. While the signaling system still works most of the time, it has become more fragile and unreliable with every passing year. Equipment and parts break or wear out. In January, a relay failure at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station took about an hour to fix and delayed 25 trains. “If you had a car from the 1930s and drove it every day you’d be lucky if it was still ...

A pair of crossed cylindrical micro-facets on the front and bkack split light into rows and columns; each facet behaves like a tiny diverging lens, so every square of the area forms a chunky “pixel”. Will do some vid, animated GIFs and more… It’s been described as a “prism that Minecrafts scenery without electricity” … retina resolution? heck no, this is deliberate degradation.

We managed to fit in a fuse, an I²S microphone, infrared-remote input, a mode-select button, two level-shifted outputs, and terminal blocks. It’s designed to fit inside a pre-made snap-fit case – video.

This TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip is used in motherboards and SBCs to store crypto keys, generate true random numbers, and keep your hardware’s trust chain tight, even if the rest of your system isn’t Fort Knox. TPM 2.0 is even a requirement for modern OSes like Windows 11. We got a request for a breakout board and luckily DigiKey has it in stock. So we’re prototyping a clean SPI breakout to make ...

Two 16-Bit Power Monitors Get QT’d: INA237 & INA238

While looking for a component on DigiKey, we noticed there’s a lot of INA237s in stock — a part we hadn’t used much. Lots of stock usually means it’s a popular choice, so we dug in. Turns out it’s a 16-bit version of the INA228, which we already have a breakout for. Even better, the INA237 is quite a bit cheaper. It looks like it’s code-compatible, so we’re grabbing some protos of the INA237 and the slightly-better INA238 to compare.

If you like the TLV320DAC3100, you’ll love the TLV320AIC3100!

With the successful launch of the TLV320DAC3100, we can do two things: keep jamming on Fruit Jam, and whip up a new breakout for its sister chip, the TLV320AIC3100 . This one features stereo microphone inputs instead of two mix-in analog inputs and a DOUT pin. Technically, it has three mic inputs—one is differential/route-able, and we’re connecting that to the headphone jack since most headsets have an electret mic these days. This chip is a really nice all-in-one I²S codec: perfect when you want stereo inputs, stereo headphone out, and mono speaker out. Honestly, we’re exploring whether it could be ...

Spinning up an STSPIN220 motor driver

This year, we’ve worked on adding more stepper drivers to our offerings. We kicked it off with the classic A4988, followed up with the fan-favorite TMC2209. Now we’re circling back to one that’s been on our list for a while—the STSPIN220. It’s compact, yet powerful, supporting up to 1/256 microstepping and 1A continuous current. Designed for low-voltage steppers, it maxes out at around 10V motor supply. We’ve included step and direction LEDs, a current adjustment pot that turns the right way, a 47µF bypass cap, and terminal blocks for power and motor control—making it super easy to use.

We’re no stranger to tariff bills, although they have definitely ramped up over the last two months. However, this is our first ‘big bill’, where a large portion was subjected to a 125%+20%+25% import markup. Unlike other taxes like sales tax where we collect on behalf of the state and then submit it back at the end of the month, or income taxes, where we only pay if we are profitable, tariff taxes are paid before we sell any of the products and are due within a week of receipt which has a big impact on cash flow.
