Mmm-mm we like the sound of this new microphone from CUI Devices - the new CMM-4030D-261-I2S (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR/2223-CMM-4030D-261-I2S-CT-ND/13404679?itemSeq=343478410) That part number is quite a mouthful, but also pretty descriptive since 4030 is the size of the mic (4x3mm) and I2S is the interface it uses for audio. The reason we picked this for EYE...

Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-solder-headers/overview Headers are like the duct tape of electronics. They're great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, or preparing boards for plug-in components like servos or sensors.  Using headers with your microcontroller can make your life much easier, but soldering them on can be a little intimidating to beginners.

This week's EYE on NPI is particularly useful for folks who care about air quality - it's the new SN-GCJA5 particulate sensor from Panasonic (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/panasonic/sn-gc-series-laser-type-pm-sensor)! This compact sensor uses a laser diode to measure light scattering caused by small inhalable particles in the air. It's great for measuring the dustiness of the air...

Hear why we love the AP2112 and also why we have to find an alternative - can we find one that's close-to-drop-in compatible?? Tune in t...

Every Sunday we work on a new STEMMA QT board - this week we made one for the MCP9601 - an I2C capable thermocouple sensor. This is one of the only I2C thermocouple AFE's we've seen, and we've already got a library for the earlier MCP9600. (The MCP9601 adds open-thermocouple detection!) We also worked on the Feather M4 CAN - with Arduino and CircuitPython support nearly wrapped, its time to finish...
