Having worked on some u-blox GNSS prototypes this week, we decided to figure out what module to check out next. Let's see which u-blox GNSS modules are available that are fast to work with—specifically, those with built-in patch antennas so you can pop them on and start receiving immediately. We'll also take a look at some other options for those willing to connect an external antenna. Visit the A...

This week, we were all over the place with a bunch of different designs and experiments. After last week's analysis of the TLV320DAC3100, we made some updates to the design and re-booked prototype PCBs. We also designed a triple-matrix bonnet: with our latest work on getting HUB75 RGB matrices working on the Raspberry Pi 5, we can now do matrix control on the latest Pi 5 chip. But we're limited by...

We're working on getting some fun emulators ported to the FruitJam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200. Of course, we wanted to start with the C64, so when we found the MCUME https://github.com/Jean-MarcHarvengt/MCUME emulator project with many retro machines already done and ported to popular microcontrollers, we got right to checking it out! Here, Jepler is testing out the C64 with video outpu...

Heeeey, we're just having a super chill vibe here at the desk of Ladyada—writing a driver for the uBlox M8Q https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/09/10/a-mini-gps-from-ublox-with-i2c-and-uart/ which has both I2C and UART interfaces. As expected, it can do everyday NMEA output, but it can also do UBX, a "compressed" protocol for advanced data reads and writes over I2C/UART—or even SPI on some other chips....
