It's getting hot here in New York City, we could use a little help cooling off, and this week's EYE ON NPI an ultra-cool blast of Nordic engineering - the nPM1100! It's the first power management IC from our favorite low-power-wireless company, Nordic Semiconductor. We've featured them on EYE ON NPI before - the Nordic Power Profiler Kit II (https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/12/03/eye-on-npi-nordic-p...

Catching up to a project we started last month - we need to redesign some of our boards due to the chip shortage. We decided to move from the SAMD09 to the ATtiny816 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/05/18/the-great-search-a-very-inexpensive-seesaw-8-bit-microcontroller-thegreatsearch-digikey-digikey-adafruit-microchipmakes/) because it seems available/low cost and capable enough. Once you've spec'd...

We're slowly getting through to all the things we coded up for seesaw https://github.com/adafruit/seesaw and porting it to our Arduino-library-version here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_seesawPeripheral . We've got digital in and out, now doing analog input. Thankfully, we should be able to quickly adapt to other chips that have Arduino core support which will make development/debugging eas...

Seesaw is an open source microcontroller friend for other chips. It provides a variety of capabilities such as UART, ADC, DAC, extra GPIO, etc. to chips that don't have them. We've used the SAMD09 for seesaw for years, and it's been great. But now we can't find any SAMD09 on the market for a year or two - so it's time to redesign! We're going with the ATtiny817 and megaTinyCore https://github.com/...

OK it was a little rainy out yesterday so we finally got around to porting our CMSIS/arm-gcc 'seesaw' core over to Arduino. Thankfully https://github.com/SpenceKonde has written an awesome Arduino core for this chip so we were able to get up and running very quickly! Check out their tindie at https://www.tindie.com/stores/DrAzzy/ Using an eval board for the tiny817, and some CI tooling, we quickly...

This week's EYE ON NPI is all in on keyboard hacking, just like us! The Mill-Max 3305 series open bottom, low-profile, solder mount receptacles are specifically designed to make mechanical key switches hot-swappable. The 3305 series is designed to be soldered into a 0.060” (1.50 mm) minimum mounting hole with an ultra-thin retention shoulder so plugged-in components sit nearly flush to the board s...
