We're working on the LPS28 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/LPS28DFWTR/15903340) sensor this week. This is a 'ported' pressure sensor—you can connect a tube to it so you can measure pressure somewhere else (https://learn.adafruit.com/st-lps33-and-circuitpython-sip-and-puff). But you need the tube! Folks always ask us how to find matching tubing. Let's look at what is...

The TM1814 LEDs we've been looking at this week require an inverted NeoPixel-like signal. While it's not too hard to make a custom library to deal with the prefix bytes, the inversion is a little annoying since you'd have to rewrite a lot of assembly. So, for our level shifter board we designed, let's also add an inverter: It will use 5V power and logic, and we'd like a small SC70-5 package so we...
