This week's EYE ON NPI is a follow up to one we did a few years ago on the similarly-named BQ25792 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/05/06/eye-on-npi-ti-bq25792-i2c-controlled-1-4-cell-5a-buck-boost-battery-charger-eyeonnpi-adafruit-digikey-adafruit-digikey-txinstruments/). The BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) builds on the '92 by adding selectable dual inputs and true MPPT solar sup...

We're wrapping up the design for the OPT4048 breakout: mostly putting the finishing touches on the Arduino library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_OPT4048). Since the whole point of this sensor is that it gives you CIE X & Y coordinates, we thought it would be cool to plot that onto a CIE diagram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space). Historically, we’d have to use Process...

We found an old Advanced Circuits panel and we started chatting—DIGG is back! (https://reboot.digg.com/) What if we remade the DIGG button kit with a WiFi chip to show your live vote count? Let’s revive this classic, starting with the 3-digit 7-segment display.

We're phasing out the Cirrus WM8960 codec (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/cirrus-logic-inc/WM8960CGEFL-V/5036712) used in some Raspberry Pi boards to add two microphones, line-out, and stereo speaker. The codec is great—see our Voice Bonnet—but very obsolete now. Let's hunt for a modern alternative! See the chosen part on DigiKey https://www.digikey.com/short/3jnw089v Visit the Adafrui...

We're back to designing more prototypes to get the product pump primed! Having lots of boards to work with means we can reliably get one or two shipping each week.
