This 1.3" round TFT display will be in the shop soon, thanks to this tester, which lets us quickly verify all functionality: We're reading a display bitmap off of the SD card, displaying it, and then pulsing the backlight. We do this all through the EYESPI connector https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=eyespi and this one is passing just fine. After we package the display, we can stock it in the shop...

Last month we stocked some fun filament shapes, like snowflakes (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6093) or unicorns (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6094) these are easy to use: simply power with 3V like any LED and they glow with a tungsten-eque warmth (but without the 120VAC or burning heat). This week we got some samples of the same COB 'chip on board' filaments but in letters and numbers! Sur...

While developing boards, there are oftentimes we want to program ESP chips without going through the onboard USB port; this adapter will help us (and others) do that! It has a CP2102N USB-serial chip (https://www.digikey.com/short/bm7n3p5z) with RX/TX signal LEDs and two transistors wired up to the DTR/RTS line for the 'esptool standard' reset procedure technique. The output IO, plus a 3.3V 500mA...

This week, we saw a social media post asking for ultra-fine tip tweezers for entomology (https://bsky.app/profile/jammyness.bsky.social/post/3lfs3ftb6h22x), and hey, we love bugs, too! And just cause DigiKey specializes to the engineer does not mean it can't support our fellow scientists either. So, let's visit DigiKey to see what tweezers are in stock that are inexpensive, stainless steel, and ha...

Testing ESP programmer board, working on 3.5" Captouch TFT with new ST7796S display & FT6236 touch chips. Board needs redesign for new FPC. Got exciting screen samples round/bar/rect. Also found great ultra-fine tweezers on DigiKey, for both engineers & entomologists!

This week @adafruit we’re checking out the menu UI for our motorized turntable project. Pedro has a working prototype of our time visualizer for toddlers. Quick shop talk segment showing a spool holder for silicone wire spools. A single make from the community this week. Our Timelapse for this week features a print-in-placed robot inspired grabber designed by PatoPato Design.

This morning, we woke up to a mechanical failure in a critical system here at the Adafruit household: our beloved dinosaur tissue holder fell off our bathroom wall and experienced a rapid, unplanned disassembly of one armature. We'll be able to fix the limb, but we want to make sure we can reattach without this happening again! Thus, in today's quest to find an excellent double-sided foam tape—let...

Sparkle Motion Mini testers. The Mini came together fast, but classic testers had cascading issues. We used Claude for firmware and got cool samples, including filament letters and enclosures for Sparkle Motion Stick. And our dinosaur tissue holder fell, disassembling an arm! Time to find strong foam tape for reattachment.
