This week's EYE ON NPI is clicky-clacky with Johnson Electric’s range of linear DC solenoids (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/j/johnson-electric/linear-dc-solenoids) in various sizes and voltage ratings. Solenoids are a nifty type of motion control element - most folks think of motors or servos when thinking about motion control (and Johnson Electric does make motors too) but motors a...

Silicon shortages have been famous for the STM32 and ASIC droughts, but even simple mosfets have been harder and harder to find. For our PropMaker FeatherWing, we use 3 high current FETs to drive a 3~9W LED, and what used to be a near-jellybean part now needs a replacement!

Oooooh we are SO CLOSE to releasing wippersnapper I2C support! Lots of IoT platforms support analog or digital I/O - but the real stuff is in I2C sensors. We've started adding the scaffolding for I2C sensor support on the staging wippersnapper server. Here I've got a FunHouse board, connected to 'wipper, and when we go to add components there's an AHT20 part available! Next, the server requests an...

ESP32-S3 mini modules make for an easy 'S3 Feather We just picked up some ESP32-S3 Mini modules from @digikey and, surprise! They are pin compatible with the S2 Mini modules. That means we were able to upgrade our ESP32-S2 Feather to use the newest dual-core+BLE chipset. All the pins have been tested, NeoPixel works and so does I2C. I guess that means we can fabricate some of these for the shop as...

Last week we wrapped up the ESP32-S2 feather, and they're in the shop now. We made two versions, one with and one without a BME280 enviro sensor. Next up we'll do take 2 of this board, the TFT Feather - we've tested Arduino on it so now its time for CircuitPython. Our first attempt at the board definition has slow TFT redraw for bitmaps but we can fix it! Next we're adding some low power tweaks to...
