This week's EYE ON NPI is rockin' and rollin' - it's Suntsu's Rugged Foot Switches (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/suntsu/foot-switches). These switches are designed for use in guitar 'stomp box' effects pedals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_unit), so they are very rugged and reliable with smooth activation. Most of the time engineers are adding pushbuttons to a design, the...

Sometimes you've got some 3.3v powered circuitry and you just need a li'l bit of 5V power for some LEDs or to level shift to 5V circuitry power. You could go with a boost converter, but usually you need a diode, inductor, maybe even a feedback resistor set. If you only need ~50mA you may be able to get away with a charge-pump. These low-current boosters are not as efficient as DC/DC style converte...

Ok! This is super fun, Scott is working on a port of CircuitPython that runs on "bare metal" on the Raspberry Pi. So of course I wanted to see what works with HDMI since we can show the REPL... and I happen to have an e-ink HDMI display. It's AWESOME. One of the plans is to make a little computer with a keyboard, that is just CircuitPython. Write code, make art ... with HDMI, have the output go to...

We're finally getting back to all the seesaw boards we re-designed to use attiny817's now that the breakout and tester code for this family is done! Here's two designs, one is a slide pot + 4 neopixels. The other is for 'arcade buttons' with built in LEDs. We're mostly focusing on UI elements that can be used to make control surfaces. We're also trying to stick to a standard sizing so they all hav...

We designed a buncha I2C-to-whatever converters a while ago but got hit with the silicon shortage, so we're redesigning the boards with chips we can get. For example here is a I2C to slide pot + 4 NeoPixels design. Now lots of microcontrollers have ADC so you may not need a converter. But if you're using a SBC like a Raspberry Pi, adding analog inputs is a little messy, so you could definitely use...

This week's EYE ON NPI is a one-two-triple punch of awesome: its a combination prototyping breadboard kit from Twin Industries (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/twin-industries/combination-protoboards). Offering the best of three worlds in one: it has a gridded prototyping development area, a 'perma-proto' style 5-row DIP area, and a separate chunk of solderless breadboarding materia...
