Build a 3D printed Bluetooth speaker, inspired by the TV Show Severance. Powered by the Feather ESP32 V2 and the MAX98357A 3W I2S amplifier.  This project is written in Arduino and uses two libraries by Phil Schatzmann that make using the ESP32 for Bluetooth audio really easy. Great for playing defiant jazz, watching your favorite TV show, or sync with your mobile device. Just please don't throw i...

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/glowing-hair-flowers-with-n00ds/overview Light up your hair with these beautiful iridescent glowing hair flowers. The magical light comes from Adafruit n00ds: a fun, flexible noodle-like LED filament. These little noodles are jam-packed with LEDs and look a bit like EL wire, but with no need for an inverter. They are available in a variety of colors and le...

For our next design of the Fruit Jam board, we want to design a top plate that will let the header strip and switch poke out. This means we also have to choose buttons that will be able to poke out, so that they can be pressed when the plate is in place. Measuring the header height, it's 8.5mm tall, so we want 6mm x 6mm SMT tactile switches with more than 8.5mm actuator height from PCB (but no mor...

For our next revision of Fruit Jam (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200), we want to add an onboard speaker to provide some sound beeps and boops. The amplifier we're using can drive 4 or 8-ohm speakers, up to a couple watts—but we're not expecting hi-fi sound here. Most important is something that is solderable into the PCB so that it is an "all-in-one" setup. It also has to be less than 0.8" i...

Jepler spent a bunch of time this week working on getting audio working on the pico-umac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 . Audio on the hardware we're emulating is pretty straightforward: every scanline of the video generator also pops out one byte of PWM data. We have 370 horizontal lines—352 visible and 18 during the...

Ladyada tests final TLV320DAC3100 boards for Fruit Jam, revises the PCB, and explores Jepler’s pico-mac. Also designs a USB-C CC resistor fix board. For the next rev, she hunts an 8-ohm PCB-mount speaker under 0.8" for onboard beeps.

Browsing HyperCard stacks on our RP2350-based Fruit Jam 🍏📂 With a little more tweaking, we've got a nice big 12MB disk image loading into our Pico-Mac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to the Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 — that 16MB of internal flash is coming in super useful now! That means not only can we run System 6 but also install some nice sof...

See the Sounds of Classic Mac Audio 🔊🍏 We're working on the Pico-Mac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 and one thing we really want to add is sound support for classic Mac games and HyperCard stacks. Audio on the hardware we're emulating is pretty straightforward: every scanline of the video generator also outputs one...

We grew up with a Mac Plus/512K, so getting the Pico-Mac 68000 emulator https://github.com/evansm7/pico-mac working on Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 with 1MB+ of RAM was a high priority for those nostalgic vibes. We've got HSTX DVI output plus PSRAM working https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam, which means 4MB RAM—that's the most you could get into a Mac Plus a...
