Adafruit received a request over email for a 16-Bit resolution DAC to match with the 16-Bit ADC we stock (ADS1115). Not a bad idea! We stock a few DAC breakouts (https://www.adafruit.com/?q=dac&sort=BestMatch) but they are either 8-bit or 12-bit MCP47xx's, and there may be times you really want something a little smoother for precision control. We're going to try and make something with Stemma QT...

we spent today working on a ESP32-S3 feather. you may be thinking "hey wait didn't you already design one?" yep! but we had a hardware bug that increased deep-sleep power, and so we wanted to revise the ESP32-S2 feather first to fix it since the PCBs for the two designs are shared. now we have the new ESP32-S2 in the shop with the fix https://www.adafruit.com/product/5303 so we can respin the S3....

This week we've been working on more and more revisions and also trying to get some older designs out the door. For example, we've got some ESP32-S3 feather and QT Py designs that we didn't release due to some errors and also S3 support in the world wasn't quite ready. But with our revised S2 design done, we swapped out a board on the panel with an S3 mini module and there's even Arduino support i...

Chris is restoring this vintage IMSAI computer with a Z80 CPU and memory cards connected to the S100 bus, and some things are starting to work! Here, Chris uses the front panel to start a ROM program that can read hex code from a paper tape. The loaded code then prints "HELLO WORLD", as one must do.

Jeff Epler recently contributed code to FluxEngine making it possible to write Apple II disks using a FluxEngine-compatible floppy interface, such as the prototype Adafruit Floppy board. In this demo, jepler uses a standard PC 5.25" floppy drive (TEAC model FD-55GFR) connected with the Adafruit Floppy board to write a floppy disk with a classic educational game downloaded from archive.org: Number...

One part that's been holding up a lot of our products from staying in stock is the LIS3MDL. Originally this was a $1 triple-axis magnetometer that paired well with IMU chips for making full-fusion orientation sensors. Now they're going for $20 on the gray market with an estimated ship date of 2059 (e.g. 'who knows'). Since we were out of IMU chips for a while, we were OK waiting. But now we've got...
