We were looking at WCH @Patrick_RISCV for a USB to serial chip to replace the CP210x, when we remembered a lot of chatter a few years ago about the CH552 series of ultra-low-cost 8051 microcontrollers with native USB. you can kinda sorta code these with Arduino https://hackaday.io/project/172143-ch55xduino and we thought it could be an interesting QT Py since it has so few pins but does cover the...

We like to use our Pretty Pins generator to make lovely and *accurate* diagrams of dev boards. It starts with the Fritzing object (which is generated from the original Eagle files), and then cross references the Arduino and CircuitPython variant definition file to get the true pin names of each exposed pad and signal. Finally it looks up the multiplexing functionality for that gpio pin on the chip...

This week we're continuing on last week's RS-232 FeatherWing and looking at maybe making a multi-use design. We've also had requests for an RS-485 FeatherWing and perhaps we can design something that could be used for either. We've used a 'MAX232'-like before, but for RS-485 we'll need a different kind of chip, one that does a differential transmission. Let's see what's available and how we would...
