Arp mini jam on the Arcade Synth Controller using on-board synth engine. The Arcade Synth Controller uses a Feather M4 running a fork of the PJRC Audio Library code for on-board synthesis. Arpeggios courtesy of Todbot Arpy class. Four LED Arcade Button 1x4 breakout boards drive the 16 buttons over I2C. Also sends USB MIDI and classic DIN-5 (or TRS) MIDI.

This week @adafruit we’re making a modular case for TFT Feather and Stemma QT sensors. Prototyping a VU meter using a QtPy RP2040, NeoPixels and a PDM mic. Shop talk on using Display IO for Circuit Python to make LCARs inspired user interfaces. The timelapse this week is a potted cactus with hidden storage printed using special quantum filament from Matterhackers. It’s gonna be magical! Learn Guid...

For our little QT Py gamer, we want to have an onboard headphone jack that folks can plug into to get audio out. Last week, we picked out a headphone amplifier chip. This week, we'll be sourcing a headphone jack we can use that will be slim enough to fit between the headers.

This week's EYE ON NPI is going to stick with you for a looooong time - it's 3M's VHB Tape (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/3/3m/vhb-tape-5906) also known as "the tape you use when you want it to stick together forever". This tape is the stuff of legend - it's incredibly thin but strong, easy to apply and gives you near-epoxy-level strength in seconds. 3M VHB tape consists of a durabl...

from ladyada "we had a lot of success with our retro-go port (even submitted a PR) and now we've got the NES emulator 'nofrendo' working. we're reaaaaally familiar with this emulator, having ported it to the SAMD51 a few years ago (see https://learn.adafruit.com/nes-emulator-for-arcada for deets). its a fairly portable emulator that can run many games. we popped in a micro SD card with a bunch of...

after nofrendo/NES emulation, the next one we tried is 'gnuboy' which is a gameboy (color) emulator. we remember getting a gameboy when they came out, it was absolutely amazing to play tetris anytime we wanted. really chewed through nicad batteries tho - we had to have one set charge while we played. anyways, gnuboy works a treat and maybe we'll finish super mario world again (there was a submarin...

This week we put together our first QT Py accessory board which turns the diminutive board into a tiny gaming platform with 10 buttons, a TFT screen, micro SD card, and headphone out. The PCBs showed up late last week so we quickly soldered one together and we pretty much got it going! then we ported arcada to it (that's our Arduino button/display library) so that we could do basic tests on the ha...

After all the functionality has been worked out with a new boards, its time to do last power draw checks to make sure that low power functionality is verified. historically, we haven't cared too much about low power uses - stuff would be plugged into a 9V adapter anyways. but in the last couple of years we've tried to make whatever small changes we could to make our boards work well in deep sleep....

we're taking a short break from floppy disk hacking (don't worry, we're nowhere near done and this will all tie together - promise!) and working on a QT Py gamer backpack we designed. the qt py esp32 pico here plugs into the back to drive the 240x240 IPS display with an SD card slot, battery charging, and an AW9523 GPIO expender for all the buttons. we wanted to make a very smol odroid go-like sin...

jepler picked up some retro Apple floppy disks online. With Adafruit_Floppy and the Adafruit fork of fluxengine, they read out the data and loaded it in a Mac emulator. What a blast from the past, dithered "screen posters" using After Dark technology & comic book artwork. Not all drives can read Mac floppies, a Sony drive worked but a Panasonic didn't. #arduino #floppy #retro #fluxengine @jeffeple...
