For the KB2040 board we're working on, we want to add a PTC fuse. These fuses auto-'heal' after they cool down and they're pick and place friendly, so they're easy to use. We're going to add one to this board so it has similar behavior as the Pro Micro it is pin-compatible with. PTC fuses are available in a few different voltages, current rating...

Adafruit Industries posted Soooo many RGB LEDs on this new product

When you start putting a ton of RGB LEDs on a board, the price of 'smart' pixel LEDs like NeoPixels & DotStars starts to add up. That's why we fancy this IS31FL3741 breakout, which has 117 RGB common-anode LEDs, each one controlled with 8-bit-per-channel PWM. At a penny or two per, we can sell this board for a reasonable price and its fully cont...
