We got a few samples of these very nifty USB C cables - there's a Type C plug on one end and a DC 2.5mm/2.1mm on the other. On the plug is etched a voltage and current range. inside is a USB C PD chip that negotiates to try and get the selected voltage and current out of a USB C power plug with Power Delivery management, and it works! we got 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V cables and tested it with our 3A te...

NYC's cherry blossom trees are in full bloom and we were inspired to perhaps get some pretty 0603 LEDs that we could use as indicators, especially on our pink KB2040 PCBs. This great search will show you some tips on reading the datasheet for an LED to verify the wavelength is a color you like.

We got some samples of Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics http://www.wch-ic.com/ CH9102F and it's pretty much a drop in replacement for Silicon Labs https://www.silabs.com/ CP201x USB to serial chips. A new driver install is needed but its the same pinout and package - great for us because we're having difficulty getting CP210x chips in enough quantity to keep our stock of ESP32 Feathers available f...

On this week's Desk of Ladyada we're celebrating spring - the tulips and cherry blossoms are blooming all over NYC this weekend. We took some cute spot-color pictures with the KB2040 for an upcoming freebie promo. We also got some samples of CH9102 which work great as replacements for CP210x which is good because we've had some difficulty getting the chips we've booked on allocation. We also found...

We've been working on making for QT Py's for various chipsets and we were getting some connection issues on our S3 QT Py. Thanks to unexpected maker, we got a Hot Tip on how they had the same issue but fixed it with some pi network tuning! Tuning for an antenna can take swapping out a range of capacitors to get the best performance. The best way to do that is to get a RF capacitor kit, so you can...
