This week we’re checking out an DIY fume extractor using the FunHouse and Adafruit IO. Looking at CNC milling keycaps. Prototyping a Jeopardy style game with Circuit Playground. Using infill patterns in CURA slicer and the Voronoi Sketch Generator add-on in Fusion 360. Also, a mini vise for Timelapse Tuesday. Excellent!

For the KB2040 board we're working on, we want to add a PTC fuse. These fuses auto-'heal' after they cool down and they're pick and place friendly, so they're easy to use. We're going to add one to this board so it has similar behavior as the Pro Micro it is pin-compatible with. PTC fuses are available in a few different voltages, current ratings and sizes - let's find the one we need for this tig...

our custom keycaps arrived - they're translucent plastic with a thin black opaque layer that is etched away in a custom design. so of course we got one with an adafruit logo on it, looks pretty sweet! as shown here on our macropad we've got it so launches adafruit.com on a computer when pressed but of course it can go on any keyboard with cherry mx compatible switches. #adafruit #keyboard #keeb Vi...

Now that we have my hardware validated in Arduino, it's time to get it running in CircuitPython as well. We needed to write a little patch to the core to fix a row/col swap so that the SH1106 driver will work right https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/4864 however, once we got that fixed, the display/buttons/encoder are working perfectly. Next up maybe we can get the onboard audio workin...

This week on the Desk of Ladyada we're doing the bringup of our hopefully-final revision of the RP2040 macropad we're working on. Arduino is working solidly, and CircuitPython is getting there. We have to get the OLED driver bugs ironed out but the hardware seems solid! Next up, we've acquired a TI calculator running a fork of CircuitPython. Let's check it out and see what has been added. The Grea...

We're back to working day-shifts in the office, which means access to our mega-oven for prototypes. We loved ya, lil reflow plate, but for bigger protos like this an oven really does a great job. We're pasting the components by with a syringe, then hand placing the parts for two protos. After a trip through the oven, we do a little hand-cleanup of bridged pads and then it's time to bring up the bo...

We put together our hopefully-final prototypes for the Macropad we're working on at the office. Now we're home and it's time to bring up the design. We like to do our bring-ups in Arduino, so we're using the Philhower Arduino core to make a definition and verify all the hardware works. The new part here is the OLED, which uses a new chipset, but similar enough to other OLEDs we wrote a driver pret...

We sure love our Cherry MX compatible switches, but let's be honest....they're kinda big. What if you want something svelte? The Kailh CHOC v1's are much shorter. Here are some samples we are testing out of clicky white and linear red Choc1's with two color options for keycaps and PCB sockets. Watch out - these are totally incompatible with MX-series sockets and caps! Still, so worth it for that l...

JP loves showing off his keyboard projects with these "lamp" keycaps, with an opaque body and a clear plastic window. Gotta admit, they are slick and cyberpunk - we found a supplier and ordered three samples. These fit great and look cool, perfect for a cyberdeck build. #adafruit #keeb #keyboard Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE...
