This EInk display with ESP32S2 WiFi is running CircuitPython to get the current bitcoin price and display it on the 2.9" e-paper. There are 4 neopixels on the front and 4 buttons, and we got the neopixels + buzzer working today so it can alert you audibly. On the back, 4 SMT standoffs screw into magnetic feet often used for RGB matrix displays. That means we can attach it to anything ferrous like...

The Great Search is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week: RGB Matrices have IDC cables that chain the shifted data down - you can get custom IDC cables in any configuration you can dream of from Digi-Key. We'll show you how and point out some of the things to watch for when getting IDC cables like polarizing keys, s...

This 2.9" grayscale E-paper display makes for a nice pairing with the ESP32-S2 WiFi module. Four buttons and 4 NeoPixels on the front (side lighting so it will illuminate the paper display!), and a whole party on the back. Accelerometer, speaker/buzzer, light sensor. Battery charger and lipo battery spot. USB C + on-off switch, plus a few low power hacks. Could make for a nice little wireless disp...

A Raspberry Pi with PiTFT makes for a perfect ESP32 tester/programmer, we just have it run esptool and program in a self-test sketch to the ESP32, then read the output from over the USB serial connection. The self test checks all the pins are connected properly - not floating, not shorted - as well as the power supply voltages and battery charger functionality. Then once it passes test we program...

Sunday's stand for STEMMA, and we made a new one today - using the BMP390 precision altimeter. We're also slowly cranking away at projects for the Stemma Friend board we showed off last week doing I2C scanning. This time we'll have it sniff the I2C connection. Then, we'll chat about chaining LED matrices using IDC cables. The Great Search: Chain LED Matrices with IDC Cables RGB Matrices have IDC c...
