Adafruit Industries posted LED Glasses panel tester

OK we're about ready to fabricate these LED glasses panels. Lots of LEDs, in a cool grid/circular design! Of course, we have to test each board so that we know all the LEDs were placed properly. Thus, the tester! We're going with a simple R/G/B test, with visual inspection.

We'll also check out the built in test-mode the IS31FL3741 has, so we v...

A die-hard interface chip that is the backbone of many-a-devboard is the USB-to-UART adapter chip. While many micros come with native USB, there is still a large number that have UART only - like the ESP32, or RISC-V cores.

Thanks to jeplers intrepid and unyielding efforts, we now have OV5640 camera module support in CircuitPython. This is a snazzy 5 MPixel camera module which can do JPEG encoding on-chip and auto levels.

It works very well, you can even hear the little click when it changes focus. W...

Our OV5640 camera is working great, but we notice it does heat up quite a bit. We want to add a little heatsink option to our breakout so that the camera can be cooled off a little while it's running.

For the STSPIN stepper breakout board, we need some current sense/limiting resistors. These are special resistors that are very low resistance but very high wattage, so they can dissipate the heat from the Resistance * Current^2. One thing we need to optimize for in this project is space over price - since the board size is fixed. So let's find ...

Let's test two products at the same time! The OLED is 128x128 1.1" diagonal monochrom, and we've got it plugged into the other newp - a Feather ESP32-S2 with PSRAM. There's a cute lil vertical STEMMA QT connector in the middle which we can plug into to add more sensors and displays. There's also an optional BME280 sensor, for temp/hum/pressure s...

Adafruit Industries posted Another wild ESP32-S2 Feather appears!

This variant of the ESP32-S2 Feather board comes with a TFT on top, it fits perfectly with room for some LEDs and two buttons on the top side. The bottom side has the ESP32-S2 mini with 4 MB flash and 2 MB PSRAM and support circuitry. For example, we have a lipo battery monitor and a BME280 soldered on - the demo here is showing data from those ...

This week's Great Search is about learning from mistakes - in this case I ordered the wrong ESP32-S2 chip for the QT Py S2, because I wasn't paying attention to all the variants.

OK so to get the QT Py manufactured we need a tester. In this case we're not going with a teensy or arduino because the fastest way to program an esp32-s2 (we've found) is with the compressing stub loader that esptool.py uses. also, we're going to be doing a wifi signal test where we scan on the Raspi for the ESP's access point - this is a simpl...

For the SCORPIO Feather, we need to buffer 8 outputs for NeoPixels from a 3V signal to a 5V signal. The '245 is the transceiver we have traditionally used - but we need a very smol chip, that can also handle if the logic level is 3V and the power supply maybe gets towards 5.5V, thus getting dangerously close to 1/2 VCC. We'll show why the T is i...

If there's one thing we believe in strongly here at Adafruit its that if you have an embedded interpreted language running on your microcontroller, it's super important that you can access floppy drives from it.

OK now that we've gotten the motor up and running, and the drive selected in step 1 - we know our wiring is correct. step 2 is getting data out! unlike almost all protocols we're used to, there's no clock pin on floppy data. it comes out in MFM format (at least, this floppy disk format does) which means we get a series of ~500kHz open-drain puls...

OK so part 1 we got our wiring worked out and found an index pulse. Part 2 is we started getting MFM data coming out. Now we're capturing pulses with gpio bitbanging, and storing all the pulse widths in a large memory array. each track has a 500Khz signal, and outputs data every 5 Hz, so we have a max of 100K samples worst case.

For our tiny handheld gamer board, we want to have a headphone driver that does not require a lot of board space. Even if the chip is small, most simple amplifiers require output blocking caps to avoid DC bias on the speakers. But, now-a-days, you can get 'cap-less' drivers that generate a faux-ground. This makes for a very tiny board. Let's fin...

OK we were still having some issues with mac 400k/800k floppies and their weirdly long GCR pulses so we decided to refactor our bitbanging code to use a timer capture peripheral and a pwm waveform generator (bit odd because the period is what changes there, but it is possible with most timer peripherals) We also characterized a pile of floppy dr...

The Apple Disk ][ drive is a converted Shugart drive that has three power supplies: 5V, +12V and -12V. The 5V and 12V are for the motor control. Negative 12V is a bit of a pain to generate, but thankfully the -12V seems to only be used for biasing a trim potentiometer. So, we don't need a lot of current. Still, we do need to generate -12V, let's...

We've never actually worked with raw LCD elements, but if you do need to use one, you'll quickly note that they're a bit odd to work with and require an 'AC'-like waveform and constant refreshing. They're also very susceptible to ghosting. So let's identify a chip - ideally SPI or I2C - t...

Now they're going for $20 on the gray market with an estimated ship date of 2059 (e.g. 'who knows').

To get this nifty Spaceball user interface working, we're using a USB to RS-232 adapter cable. But for the next step in this project we'll want to use a Feather board. In order to connect to the DE-9 port safely, we need to convert the TTL serial on a Feather (0-3V logic) to +-6~10V inverted logic. Thankfully, there are chips that make it easy -...

The RCWL sensor has a lil solder jumper on the back that lets you turn it into "IIC" mode - we tried it out and ... it kinda works! This sensor can be used on an I2C bus, but it doesn't seem to do well if sharing it with other devices. Still, if you have a microcontroller or microcomputer that doesn't have fast GPIO for toggle/pulse or a hardwar...
