This week we got Claude working natively on Windows (yay!) which speeds up development since we're not hitting the filesystem through multiple layers. That meant we also worked on a bunch of little breakouts: the BMP585 protos came in and those worked fine. Plus we knocked out the VEML6046 RGB+IR sensor library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_VEML6046) and started work on a few others. It tu...

we prototype an e ink bonnet for raspberry pi and friends, drive displays over spi and i2c, and try a particle tachyon board to push cellular updates with zero wires. image dithering tests, a local solar powered llm that turns daily news into art so you can glance instead of doomscroll, and early ideas for portable e ink graffiti boxes. spi and i2c bring-up, dithering workflow, cellular update loo...

We saw this quick clip (https://x.com/digikey/status/1954146893854044558) - literally! - fly by on social media and thought it would be good to show people how they can get an even better result from a well-fitting heat-sink designed for TO-220s! DigiKey stocks lots of options, let's find the one that will get us the most heat sink-age for a great price. See the chosen part on DigiKey. https://www...

Fresh drivers for Bosch BMP5xx sensors & LiPoly chargers, plus Particle Tachyon fun with web-console shell + Blinka support! Also, heat sink tips for TO-220s. This week at our desk we cranked through a whole mess of drivers. Starting with the BMP580/BMP581/BMP585 series, which had a proper Bosch driver library (https://github.com/boschsensortec/BMP5_SensorAPI) so we wrappered it with Claude (h...
