USB controllable panel mount and tower-light samples What can we say, we like tower lights and other notification systems. But they're often 12V and require a controller. These alerts are panel-mount friendly AND come with a USB cable for power and data. When plugged into a computer or Raspberry Pi they appear as a serial port. Send bytes over to turn on the red, yellow or green LEDs, the tower la...

We sure love smart addressable LEDs here at Adafruit - like NeoPixels (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?s=N4IgTCBcDaIHYFMD2AHAlgDwQGxAXQF8g0 and DotStars (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?s=N4IgTCBcDaICYHsAuBnJBDATiAugXyA) But our new project is going to use the IS31FL3741 (https://www.digikey.com/short/8q0nmn25) driver to control a large quantity of RGB LEDs. Let's find a low...

Check it out - today we're testing the ESP32-S2 Kaluga dev kit v1.3 with the latest PR from Jeff to add native camera support to CircuitPython. https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/4880 In only a few lines of code we can initialize a display, read a buffer from the camera, then blit it out to the onboard 240x320 screen. We now have libraries for both OV7670 and the nicer/newer OV2640 htt...

In this tutorial I walk through creating a curvy rectangular shape using the spline tool in Fusion 360. I show how to use symmetrical and equal sketch constraints to create a shape thats flexible and parametric. Whenever one side of the shape is effect, the other side is perfectly mirrored. One corner of the shape features a bezier handle with a sketch dimension (length and angle) making it easy t...

Dan just dropped a new PR with our event-based key switch vector/matrix handling all done in the CircuitPython core https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/4891 which will make keyboard projects a lot easier and a TON faster. Matrix/vector scanning is now done in a background interrupt and can handle all the work for you and emit key press/release events. Here I've got it with my 5x6 snap-a...

This week we've got a few things we've been hacking on. We tested out jepler's ESP32S2 camera support in CircuitPython. It works really well! Now that we have OV7670 and OV2640 camera modules supported we can move on to designing some hardware. We also wrote up a ISSI IS31FL374x (https://www.digikey.com/short/8q0nmn25) driver which is a more powerful version of the IS31FL3731 chips what we've used...

The Adafruit Clue is powered by an nRF52840, which has bluetooth capabilities and a powerful Cortex M4 processors with lots of RAM - so it's great for doing machine learning projects. Here we've got it working with https://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/tfliteformicrocontrollers which will allow downloading of models over BLE (neat!) and also training of custom models. Since we have the dis...

Adafruit seesaw is a near-universal converter framework which allows you to add add and extend hardware support to any I2C-capable microcontroller or microcomputer. Instead of getting separate I2C GPIO expanders, ADCs, PWM drivers, etc, seesaw can be configured to give a wide range of capabilities. And now we've got our seesaw peripheral library ported to Arduino IDE & humming along nicely - here'...
