...this sunday we're testing out a new pr for adding support for 'hub75' style rgb matricies to circuitpython. we're also honoring prof john conway, who was an amazing mathematician who recently passed away. conways game of life uses simple rules on a matrix of data to create organic-seeming lifecycles. this 32x64 matrix is being driven by a feather m4 - we have samd51 and nrf52840 support coming...

This week's EYE ON NPI takes a closer look at security! The STSAFE chip collection from ST (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1A/497-X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1A-ND/11568322) is a super easy and inexpensive way to add hardened security to your project - giving you a lot of flexibility when deciding on core chipsets. Why is a separate chip important? Microcontrollers of...

The news from Adafruit in New York. Broadcast April 15, 2020 We broadcast the weekly ASK an ENGINEER video show and this is the segment on items or concept products that may/might/could be introduced into the Adafruit store in the future (or not)! It's not out yet, so please don't ask questions or ask when it'll be available.... Check out the Adafruit store for all the great products that are avai...

Here, we're using a flex sensor as part of a voltage divider circuit. A voltage divider outputs a percentage of the incoming voltage. In this case, one resistor is fixed, the other varies. As the sensor bends, its resistance increases, and the measured voltage decreases. When it is straightened, its resistance decreases, and the measured voltage increases. This method is used in the Power Glove BL...

Use Tinkercad to design a 3d model of an Easter Egg stand, with space underneath for a NeoPixel light. Make an egg shaped hole and a dome base and hollow it out so it's a shell. Make a cutout for the NeoPixel wires and send it to your 3d printer as an .stl file. This is part of a larger tutorial showing how to make a glowing easter egg using NeoPixels and a Circuit Playground Express. Young makers...

Make a paper craft stand for your favorite Easter eggs and light them up with NeoPixels. This is a fun DIY electronics project that's great to do with the whole family. Learn to code as you choose your egg's LED colors with Microsoft MakeCode. Make each Easter egg into a fabulous and special glowing work of art that your young maker and programmer can be proud of.

Create a wireless, gesture activated Bluetooth MIDI controller with a Nintendo Power Glove. Using CircuitPython running on a Feather Sense nRF52840 board, you can access the four finger flex sensors, as well as the Feather's accelerometer. Connect over BLE MIDI to a synthesizer, and then map CC (continuous controller) values to respond to gestures. John Park's Learn Guide coming soon. Demonstratio...
