We have been on the lookout for a Sony Flamingo - a very retro-futuristic turntable that can play singles or LPs using a funky minimalist design. It is a gorgeous piece of machinery. Meanwhile, we know folks like using a Raspi to make a 'pihole' ad/malware blocking DNS server but pi's are hard to get, so we looked at turning a Feather ESP32-S2 TFT into an 'esphole' and found a great project to for...

we have a spaceball 2003, a 1990's-era 3D interface device, and we tasked ladyada with getting it working! it has a 2.5mm DC jack + RS-232 cable for data, and its encoded in binary data with a fairly simple protocol - lots of data here: https://spacemice.org/index.php?title=Spaceball_2003 ! with a little pyserial work, we got the button presses and XYZ vector data out. code is posted in this gist...

The wonderful world of Python on hardware! Episode 176 (April 13, 2022). This is our weekly Python video highlights! Ladyada and PT review the Python on hardware news of the week. The news comes from the Python community, Discord, Adafruit communities and more. It’s part of the comprehensive newsletter we do each week.

This week's EYE ON NPI will woo you like a period romance show - no, we're not talking about Bridgerton, this is a different kind of Bridge! We're highlighting NXP's SC18IM704 UART to I²C-Bus Bridge (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/n/nxp-semi/sc18im704-uart-to-i2c-bus-bridge).

The ESP32-S3 has native USB like the S2 and adds a dual core Tensilica, Wifi AND BLE plus extra SRAM so its a great upgrade. We worked it into a QT Py format which will make for great lil IoT projects. (check out the Feather we are stocking too https://www.adafruit.com/product/5323) we like our panelization technique for boards, with half route and half v-score, it makes it fun and easy to pop off...

This week @adafruit we’re checking out the Feather ESP32 V2. Prototyping a little connection machine and RGB matrix cube with the Raspberry Pi.

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 - they even have built in switched-cap converters to c...

In this video we’re taking a look at the new Adafruit Feather ESP32 V2. This is a big upgrade over the original. The V2 has 8MB of flash - that’s twice as much storage! It also has additional 2MB of PSRAM, Mini NeoPixel, Stemma QT and a USB-C port.

Mr Ladyada gave me this funky 3D mouse to play with today - it has a DE-9 plus power supply cable on it, so with a little googling and pySerial hacking we were able to get button and motion data out of it. Next up, we want to design a RS-232 Featherwing to make it easy to attach to these sorts of devices and send/receive data. Even though RS-232 is kinda old at this point, we still see a lot of de...
