This week @adafruit we’re spotlighting our TVA Time Baton prop from Loki. Prototyping a new project inspired by the Pumpkin Bombs from the Green Goblin and a skull necklace for Timelapse Tuesday, creepy!

We did an earlier Great Search on oscillators, but this week we're specifically looking at 32kHz 'real time clock/counter' crystals. These are often used in microcontrollers as input to a phased-locked loop (PLL) to generate a higher frequency internal clock that is more precise than an RC oscillator. Even though these are not 'semiconductors', they've been quite hard to source! Let's look at what...

Whew! We are going through all our Featherwings to verify that our ESP32-S2 Feather is ready to ship. Looking good so far, we've verified I2C and SPI pins using our TFT Feathers. One of the last tests is to check that the RGB Matrix Featherwing works, this tests a lot of pins! For a demo we're getting and displaying the number of GitHub stars the CircuitPython repo has, over 2,600! Visit the Adafr...

It is starting to get a bit chilly out, with beautiful fall weather. We've even switched from iced to hot coffees! We decided this week to take a look again at our favvy Feather, the M4 Express. It's a good dev board, but there's improvements we can make given the years of experience we've had with designing Feathers. First up we swapped the Micro USB to USB C. We bumped the 2MB flash to 8MB, and...

Our OV5640 camera is working great, but we notice it does heat up quite a bit. We want to add a little heatsink option to our breakout so that the camera can be cooled off a little while it's running. Digi-Key stocks hundreds of thousands of different heat sinks, let's see what we can find that is small enough to fit.
