Trying out Claude Code with Sonnet 4 for our STSPIN220 library

We wrote a library for the STSPIN220 — this is a stepper motor driver like the A4988 or TMC2209, but for low voltage motors. One interesting thing about it is it uses the step/dir and two mode pins to set the micro-steps, from 1 to 1/256. Since that gets a little confusing, we figured a driver would be worth doing. The table was definitely annoying to decode, and higher microsteps started overflowing 16-bit variables, but now we’ve got ...

A MicroPython implementation of the TV-B-Gone project

Ned Konz has created a MicroPython implementation of the TV-B-Gone project. The TV-B-Gone (by Mitch Altman) is a universal remote control that can turn off most televisions. Unfortunately, the existing open-source implementations (for the ATTiny microcontrollers) have very outdated code databases and don’t work with many modern TVs. This project is designed to work with ...

For our SI4732 radio breakout, we’re following the application note for antenna setup. It specifies a low-pass filter inductor of 4.7 µH with a Q factor greater than 20 at 25 MHz and minimal DC resistance. The recommended part, COILCRAFT 1008CS-472GLB, is somewhat pricey.

Larsio Paint Music is a love letter to Mario Paint — the mouse-driven art creation cartridge for Super Nintendo — that included a wonderfully fun music composition mode, where you could draw notes on a music staff using different samples and synth voices, and then play them back. I decided to recreate this classic on a modern microcontroller in CircuitPython as Larsio Paint Music (LPM). LPM runs on a Metro RP2350 or the Fruit Jam. With USB mouse-input, HDMI video output, and stereo I2S DAC audio output for synthesized and sampled sounds, you can try your hand at making music the ...

Also known as ‘blacklight’ paint or fabric, these dyes glow fluorescent when exposed to UV light. However, not all UV LEDs will work! UV ranges from 100nm to 450nm, and some frequencies are used for curing or disinfection. For light effects, 365nm is the ‘peak’ frequency to look for. Let’s find a ~365nm SMT UV LED we can pick and place onto a small PCB for easy sewing. ✨🧵 See the chosen part on DigiKey See the video below: ...

The Raspberry Pi RP2350 chip, which is used for the Pi Pico 2 and numerous Adafruit boards, has some limitations due to a GPIO hardware issue. This issue can make the CircuitPython keypad module not work properly: a GPIO pin can read as high even when driven or pulled low, if the input signal is high impedance or if an attached pull-down resistor is too weak (has too high a value). The internal pull-down resistors are not strong enough to overcome this problem.

Chauncey, ceased in 1913. However, do not despair — you can build your own fully functional, 3D-printed Chauncey. Mk. I plans for building Chauncey were published in the excellent 3D Printing Projects book from Maker Media. Now, this updated Mk. II Chauncey can be created using a CLUE microcontroller board running CircuitPython and the Bonsai Buckaroo add-on board to sense soil moisture levels and water your flower or plant using a small, submersible pump.

A Python library for Septentrio SBF GPS/GNSS protocol messages

pysbf2 is an original Python 3 parser for the SBF © protocol. SBF is a proprietary binary protocol implemented on Septentrio ™ GNSS receiver modules. pysbf2 can also parse NMEA 0183 © and RTCM3 © protocols via the underlying pynmeagps and pyrtcm packages from the same author – hence it covers all the common protocols that Septentrio SBF receivers are capable of outputting. The library implements a comprehensive set of messages for Septentrio Mosaic X5 devices, but is readily extensible. Refer to SBF_MSGIDS in sbftypes_core.py for the complete dictionary of messages currently supported. SBF protocol information sourced from mosaic-X5 Reference Guide v4.14.10.

Becky Stern shared this project on Youtube – check out the full guide here! Today, I’m sharing a super fun project that I collaborated on with a bartender friend of mine. He asked me to make a set of illuminated mushroom drink menus inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The idea is that he presents a mushroom, and when the recipient lifts the cap, text is revealed, letting them know which drink they are about to get. I modified Wuguigui’s free mushroom desk lamp files and added a battery-powered LED circuit to create this easy glowing 3D printing project.

Robot eye shapes are configurable in terms of width, height, border radius and space between. Several different mood expressions (happy, tired, angry, default) and animations (autoblinker, idle, laughing, confused) are available. All state changes have smooth transitions and thus, complex animation sequences are easily feasible. Check it out on GitHub and see the video below:

We’re used to hearing about evolution by competition, but what about thinking about things that evolve from cooperation? We can learn a lot about ourselves by simulating robotic beings communicating, sharing information, tools and interacting as a community of living beings. In simulations, questions emerge such as the importance of synchronicity between beings, the need for a shared language for mutual understanding, among many other issues. Sandro Benigno, with inspiration and applied resources from fellow professor Marilia Lyra Bergamo, have developed The WindRose Project, using custom hardware, firmware and software for robotic cellular automata experiments.

A DIY door fan to fix groggy mornings

Andrey Lepekhin’s doctor said that, ideally, one should wake up bright, energetic, and ready to leap out of bed. But that wasn’t Andrey’s case. A cause could be excess CO2. Using a DOY meter, the CO2 levels were plotted overnight and the results were horrible. This led to an idea: “if I could actively push stale air out from under the door, the negative pressure in the room would pull fresh air in through the trickle vent.” See how some DIY iterative design lowered the CO2 levels with each design improvement in the article here.

The Great Search – SPI SRAM Chip #adafruit #TheGreatSearch @digikey

For our E-Ink display breakout boards, we add an SRAM chip on-board to help buffer the display. Unlike TFTs that have built-in video RAM, EPDs require writing the full memory at once—which can get into multi-KBs. For many modern chips, up to 64KB of video RAM isn’t a big deal, but for small, low-cost micros like Arduino, that’s a lot! Since EPDs are slow anyway, we can use an external SRAM chip for fast write/read—an ideal solution. See the chosen part on DigiKey See the video below:

NEW GUIDE: Adafruit TPS61169 Constant Current Boost Converter for LEDs #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit

The Adafruit Constant Current Boost Converter for LEDs makes driving LEDs easy, whether they’re in series or parallel – with a chip that can generate up to 40V and 400mA from 3~5V input. Unlike most of our booster chips that generate a fixed voltage (like 5V, or 12V) the TPS61169 increases the voltage until a ...

Desk of Ladyada – E-Ink Experimentation Plus a Simple Moisture Sensor #DeskOfLadyada #Adafruit

This week at our desk, we spent a lot of our focused engineering time working on e-paper display drivers. These displays are a lot more annoying than TFTs, which have settled on standardized MIPI command sets. Also, they have custom “waveforms” used to configure the refresh technique. By default, we use the built-in waveforms from OTP memory, but it’s possible to load new waveforms, letting us do funky stuff like coax 4-grayscale out of a “monochrome” display. We also designed a simple moisture sensor PCB for an ultra-low-cost kit to be used by students—sometimes it’s okay to under-design for cost ...

Saving LEGO MINDSTORMS with PyBricks and MicroPython

MINDSTORMS is the line of LEGO kits used to create programmable electronics like robots. Unfortunately, LEGO officially discontinued the Mindstorms line, including the popular Robot Inventor kit (51515), at the end of 2022. Laurens Valk writes: It’s hard to find definitive numbers, but there are at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions of MINDSTORMS sets out there. For context, that’s more than 10 times the height of Mount Everest if you stack them all up. It’s a lot. But the sets are not obsolete. With the help of Pybricks, the kits still can be used successfully. Pybricks for LEGO ...

The Dactyl keyboard is a customizable ergonomic keyboard. Unlike typical keyboards, it contours to the shape of one’s hand. The tool allows configuration of almost every aspect of the keyboard for maximum comfort and flexibility. And it can be designed online. I recommend you begin with the default preset (Default) and consider the 5-Key thumb cluster. They are, in my opinion, a good starting point. Before 3D printing your first Dactyl keyboard case, I recommend you: Copy down the current site URL so you can revisit or share your design. The URL is unique to the keyboard you’ve configured.

The Forgotten War on the Walkman

The Sony Walkman turned 46 on July 1st. It’s an icon of the 1980s, eliciting nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of owning music, rather than renting it. Affection for the device is now near universal, but that wasn’t always the case. Louis Anslow of the Pessimists Archive looks back at the animus around personal stereos. The Walkman, critics claimed, was more than just music to one’s ears; it was a tool of societal disconnect and for government officials and law enforcement a danger on the roads, because it limited the hearing of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. After a number ...

How AI on microcontrollers actually works: Operators and Kernels

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth. Perhaps the most constrained of these platforms are microcontrollers. While “weights” get the majority of the attention with AI models, they alone are not sufficient for performing inference. Depending on how a model is distributed and what runtime is used, ...

Matt Cole does the work of thoroughly testing microSD cards using a variety of metrics (so we don’t have to). MicroSD cards are ubiquitous nowadays, having found applications in a wide variety of consumer devices — including smartphones, digital cameras, and single-board computers. As with any popular product, the market is littered with fakes. For example, 1 terabyte microSD cards from major brands — such as SanDisk or Lexar — cost around $70-$100, depending on the specific brand or model. A cursory search on Amazon for a 1 TB microSD card, however, yields off-brand (or no-brand) cards with prices as ...

An Adafruit IO data visualizer with the TRMNL eInk display #AdafruitIO @useTRMNL

Stephen Yeargin has built an app for the TRMNL eink display to show data from Adafruit IO, Adafruit’s Internet of Things data aggregator. TRMNL is a low cost, hackable eink display unit where owners can display any data they wish and it integrates with other applications and plug-ins. While Adafruit Io can display data on computers and mobile, having a running tab of data on a dedicated display, say for temperature or air quality, is an excellent application. You can get the Adafruit IO for TRMNL plug-in on GitHub under an open MIT license.

Have you heard of the 0451 cheat code?

I was asked the other day if “0451” was a known cheat code in games and, no, I hadn’t known. So I did some internet sleuthing and here’s what I found: According to a couple of sources, the number 0451 was the actual code to get into the offices of Looking Glass Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a pivotal studio in the development of immersive sim games, according to Polygon and others. Warren Spector, a former general manager at Looking Glass, confirmed this. 0451 first appeared in the game System Shock (1994) as the code for the first door in the ...

The Great Search — High-Speed USB Isolator #TheGreatSearch #Adafruit @adafruit

We’ve received several requests to update our low/full-speed USB isolator breakout, which used the ADUM4160. Low speed is for peripherals like mice and keyboards, where bandwidth demands are minimal. Full speed suits microcontrollers, audio interfaces, and simple USB accessories. High speed is needed for flash drives, video devices, data acquisition units, and external disks. Unsurprisingly, there’s demand for high-speed isolation. We’re now exploring USB isolation ICs that support high-speed performance. Stay tuned! See how Ladyada chooses the part on DigiKey in the video below.

tinyio is a tiny (~200 lines) event loop for Python

Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn’t? tinyio is a new, dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of Patrick Kidger’s frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio (and Patrick isn’t the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong (raising an exception in every coroutine so it can clean up its resources). You can learn more about this Apache 2.0 licensed, open code on GitHub.

Interfacing standard analog telephones with modern digital circuits is quite hard due to the analog specifications telephony used. Evan Perry Grove is making a “phone company” that fits on a desk. It’ll be expandable, starting with only a couple lines and be expandable. It’ll be as simple as it can possibly be while still meeting Evan’s requirements. A previous post laid out the plans. The latest post looks at developing circuitry to bridge the interface between digital circuits and the analog phone. This is rather difficult considering these requirements expected by the phone: The line’s “resting state” is -48 Volts ...

Designing ones own keyboard case

Hyper case is Fatih Arslan’s latest design project, a custom-made case for the Halcyon Elora Split keyboard made by splitkb.com. I’m still on the hunt for the ideal keyboard. Recently, I’ve also experimented with a few barebones split keyboards. These offer greater customization options, allowing you to select a hot swappable board and utilize any switch you desire. Moreover, they come in a wide array of layouts and sizes. I really liked the layout of the Elora, but I never could get used to the fact that it has no case. The plastic wrist pad’s I got also felt very ...

Brian Whitman wanted to know how much power his well was taking. The well has a Pentek Intellidrive PID10 controller with a screen but would only show instantaneous watts, and you had to be looking at the controller. I wanted to measure kWh over time periods to size a battery setup. The well controller has a RS485 connection. I hadn’t ever done anything with RS485 so I tried to wire up something to log the power use at intervals.

Making a moving Corin’s Saw from Zenless Zone Zero

Charles, on the Equals Zero blog, been playing a lot of Zenless Zone Zero and decided to make Corin’s Saw from the game. But not just the large prop, one that moved as well! The total build time from hitting go on most of the prints to here was about two weeks. All things considered, it was a fun speed-build of a prop that was pretty well scoped. It’s definitely one of MY products: Fine from 5-10 feet away, doesn’t have every detail and many things are mushed around to fit, and contains a secret robot. This thing is VERY top ...

Benchmarking MicroPython

In the Q&A session following Miguel Grinberg’s EuroPython 2025 presentation about the Microdot web framework, a member of the audience asked what the performance of MicroPython running on a microcontroller is. In a recent blog post, Miguel shares results that compare Python code running on several microcontroller boards along with a laptop and a Raspberry Pi 4 to put things into perspective. I guess the most important conclusion to make, and one I didn’t need the benchmarks to know, is that microcontrollers are really really slow if you compare them against computers. But there is really no comparison to be ...

Art Deco Jukebox

Fantastic build and write-up from engineer BigjBehr. This project is for a Raspberry Pi (RPi) based music player. The case design pays homage to the ‘tombstone’ radios of the 1930s & 1940s and the classic jukeboxes of the 1950s. The LED ‘pipes’ replicate the bubble pipes on the old jukeboxes. The semi-circular widow near the top was designed to be an infinity mirror. The TFT LCD display shows the name of the band/artist, album and song title that is currently playing as well as CPU temperature and the music source.

It’s useful for low-power, low-latency communication between microcontrollers. ESP-NOW creates a peer-to-peer network where devices can send data packets directly to each other using their MAC addresses. Devices can broadcast messages to specific recipients or to all nearby devices without needing any central infrastructure. It’s great for props, sensor-networks, remote controls, mesh communications.

This pattern, once finished, will remind you of a TCP header’s layout in the ultimate style. This is a PDF with a cross-stitch pattern design. The design differs slightly from the version pictured, but size and overall design are the same. The pattern is 212 stitches wide by 212 stitches tall. You can see more on Artisans Cooperative.

Antonio Cuni, who is a longtime Python performance engineer and PyPy developer, gave a presentation at EuroPython 2025 about “Myths and fairy tales around Python performance” on the first day of the conference in Prague.

With lots of examples, he showed where the real problems that he sees lie. He has come to the conclusion that memory management will ultimately limit what can be done about Python performance, but he has an early-stage project called SPy that might be a way toward a super-fast ...

For me, pinball was always the heart of the arcade. I could spend hours watching the ball bounce between bumpers and sliding down curved ramps. I wanted to capture the spirit of a classic pinball machine in a form small enough to fit on a desk, but still packed with character. I also prioritised the aesthetics, designing it to look and feel like a proper mini arcade machine. What makes ...

Leveraging Python’s PEP 690 for Faster Imports

Hudson River Trading (HRT) has found that centralizing their codebase facilitates cross-team collaboration and rapid deployment of new projects. The majority of our software development takes place in a monorepo, and our Python ecosystem is set up such that internal modules are importable everywhere. Unfortunately, the convenience of this arrangement has led to a conundrum: a vast proliferation of imports. Lazy imports are a feature we borrowed from Cinder, Meta’s performance-oriented fork of CPython. The idea is to defer the resolution and evaluation of imported modules until they’re referenced, entirely bypassing imports that are never actually used at runtime. … We ...

Anker Prime 27650mAh BLE hacking

atc1441 on GitHub takes a look at the Anker Prime 27650mAh multi-device charging device. Anker only allows the BLE connection to the Power Bank via their App and only via a valid user. The BLE Connection is done in an encrypted way but uses a fixed key exchanged based on the Serial Number as well as the Anker Account ID. Funny enough the Master(App) does define the Encryption way and also allows to use no encryption at all which means anyone can connect to your Power bank(and up to Fw 1.6.1 also upload a malicious firmware update) See the details ...

Wireless-Tap: Conversations remotely detected from vibrations

In a new paper researchers have reported the ability to transcribe cellphone conversations from minute vibrations. The technology uses millimeter-wave radar sensing to pick up the calls but the real work is done in transcribing the calls from “noisy” datasets. For now your convos are relatively safe as the range and scope is limited. Via PennState: …a team of computer science researchers at Penn State demonstrated that transcriptions of phone calls can be generated from radar measurements taken up to three meters, or about 10 feet, from a phone. While accuracy remains limited — around 60% for a vocabulary of ...

Visualizing and Editing “Physically Impossible” Objects

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have developed a “Meschers” tool to convert images and 3D models into 2.5-dimensional structures. The tool allows users to study unique geometries while preserving their optical illusion. M.C. Escher’s artwork is a gateway into a world of depth-defying optical illusions, featuring “impossible objects” that break the laws of physics with convoluted geometries. What you perceive his illustrations to be depends on your point of view — for example, a person seemingly walking upstairs may be heading down the steps if you tilt your head sideways.

What’s the difference between plotted and printed artwork?

James Merrill on the Lost Pixels blog asks “A common source of confusion that I experience when posting my artwork on social media is: why? Why use a plotter when you could use a printer? It’s slower. Less exact. More expensive. It fails, far too often. Inkjet printers became ubiquitous in the 1980s because they solved nearly all of these problems. So why are artists obsessed with pen plotters?” He goes on to list all of the reasons he loves pen plotters. That’s not to say that they’re superior, though.

Making animatronic lips move with voice, the Selectric way

James Brown, posting on Mastodon, shows an animatronic head, talking, with the mouth in-sync with the voice. A plastic doll’s head – a jowly little gentleman in a bowler hat. The mouth switches rapidly between different lip shapes in sync with the audio, behind a sharp cut out in the face, and the eyebrows shift slightly from time to time. I’m calling it Selectramatronics. The mechanism inside is highly reminiscent of the typing ball used in IBM Selectric typewriters, which was moved to the position of the letter that was to be typed. The logic moves the semi spherical mouth ...

Cool project by maker N6LN up on Instructables: This is a homebrew azimuth/elevation antenna rotator for amateur radio satellite use.

(My 70 cm/2 meter combination of crossed Yagis has a combined weight of less than 8 pounds.) It communicates via the widely used GS232 serial command protocol. One advantage is that it costs about 1/3 as much as the G5500. Another is that the cabling for the motors and control lines are simplified. Aside from the coaxial cables needed ...

Let’s find a chip that could do RTD reads over I2C: that would require 24-bit precision, but not necessarily high speed! Also ideally it could do differential reads.

All about quaternions

When using one sensor, like a 3D accelerometer, you get readings in three dimensions. You can do the same with a magnetometer or gyroscope. What if you’d like to use both sensors together to have an absolute positioning system? This is called sensor fusion and if you thought 3D math was tough, sensor fusion gets even tougher. The method involves quaternions. What is a quaternion? Well, don’t be alarmed, but a quaternion is a 4D representation of a rotation in 3D space. It contains a scalar component (often denoted as w) and a 3D vector. Putting it together, you get: (w,x,y,z). Quaternions ...

Gaming PC Modded Into Car

Move over Switch 2. Steam Deck? Pshaw. This mod is for extreme mobile gaming. YouTuber Dammit Jeff upgraded a friend’s 2018 Ford Focus with a Gaming PC. Most of the work actually entailed adding a big screen and connecting the stereo. The rest involved streaming games either from a connected device or service. Can I mod my car to run games like marvel rivals on it? God no I’m not risking that, so I did it on a friends car lol See more!

New Learn Guide: Adafruit NeoPot #Adafruit Products #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit

While researching potentiometers for a future design we bumped into the nifty RK09K1130D62 clear shaft linear potentiometer. This 10K linear pot is just like the popular Alps RK09 series but with a clear shaft that extends down to about 1mm above the underlying PCB. So, unsurprisingly, we paired this potentiometer with a skinny NeoPixel to make the Adafruit NeoPot, an easy-to-use glowing control knob. The guide covers the pinout, as well as how to use the potentiometer and NeoPixel under both CircuitPython and Arduino. Read more at Adafruit NeoPot
