Remember before we had ringtones, when every phone had the same tones to alert you when a call came in? Incredible we lived like that, like savages! This week's EYE on NPI will make you feel the same way about audio alerts, with this awesome new product from PUI, the API-4260-LW150-2-R (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/pui-audio/api-4260-lw150-2-r-programmable-indicator) - it's a pro...

This upcoming Voice Bonnet adds stereo speaker/headphone/microphone to any Raspberry Pi to make machine learning projects easy. Here we're running the Google Assistant python example scripts, with a twist! Thanks to the STEMMA QT connector and CircuitPython Blinka library, we can add an OLED display that will print out what the voice engine has heard. We can also add prompts, LED feedback and use...

This week we'll take a look at the Matrix Portal sand demo and 3D printed handles with battery holder. Demos this week include the class pi zero digital sand and the newer matrix portal. Quick look at the WIP MIDI melody maker updated with new Adafruit MIDI FeatherWing. Nice amount of community makes along with this week's timelapse tuesday, a massive 3d printed helmet from the classic game Metroi...

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: Today we were working on an all-in-one CAN bus Feather. CAN bus is a protocol with a hardware signalling layer that is specified for 5V logic, and there's a 120 ohm termination resistor. This means we will need at least 50mA for the signalling control. Let's...

In this project we’re making 3D printed handles for the Adafruit Matrix Portal Pixel Sand! Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/matrix-portal-sand The Adafruit Matrix Portal is a plug-n-play dev board that makes it easier to do internet connected projects using RGB matrices. It features a cortex M4 and the ESP32. It also has an on-board LIS3DH accelerometer.  With the STEMMA QT connector it can work...

The Great Search: 5V Boost for CAN Bus Transceiver https://www.digikey.com/short/z2rt3m Today we were working on an all-in-one CAN bus Feather. CAN bus is a protocol with a hardware signalling layer that is specified for 5V logic, and there's a 120 ohm termination resistor that means we will need at least 50mA for the signalling control. Let's find a DC/DC converter that will get us a nice clean 5...

Using the plug-in MatrixPortal board we just released last week, we were able to make a sign that we brought to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial vigil in NYC. The code displays three initials and then scrolls through an image of the Justice. We used the matrix magnetic feet to temporarily attach it to PT's bag, it was solid but easy to remove at the end of the night. Adafruit Matrix Portal - Circu...

Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-led-necklace-insert-with-usb-charging/overview Sometimes you want to add animated lights to your costume or project and you're really limited on space. Necklaces are a great example of this - a glowing pendant can be so striking, but if it's too big and bulky it can cross the line to "gaudy" pretty quickly.  This tutorial aims to make the smallest...
