More! We got a set of weatherproof cafe lights with RGBW LEDs for a 'pure' white color light. However, they don't use the WS281x chipset for the control signal. Instead, it's TM1814, which is kind of similar but has a few key differences. One is you have to send an 8-byte 'global brightness' setting to start, and then you have to continuously send a signal over every 400ms, and to top it off, the...

Turn an IKEA Pumpkin LED lamp into a distance sensing Halloween prop that plays music and sound effects! A continuous servo rotates the pumpkin as spooky laughter blasts from the 3D printed base. Perfect for greeting your guests at Halloween parties or scaring treat or treaters.

These cafe lights come with WS2811s inside. Power them with 12V, and you can send them 5V NeoPixel signals to light up individual 3 RGB LEDs inside for a nice, bright outdoor look. They're weatherproof and even come with a weatherproof connector, so they'll survive outdoor installation. They'll work great in Arduino, CircuitPython, or WLED. We're excited to get these installed for the holidays! Co...

"Hi, I'm looking for the thinnest possible coax wire and found that you used to have this listed at 1.2mm diameter. All the other RG-174 cable I've found online is 2.8mm diameter. Just curious where you found it and if you would ever stock it again. Or any other info that would help me search for this 1.2mm version." This week, we received a request for how to find ultra-thin RG-174 cable, such as...

The RP2350 Feather has an FPC output connector for accessing the HSTX - high-speed transmission - peripheral. This lets us drive DVI displays really easily! Today, we got the prototype PCBs for our HSTX to DVI adapter board; after connecting up a 22-pin FPC cable, we can test out DVI driving via CircuitPython. With HSTX, we don't need to overclock or use PIO, and there's a lot more RAM on the RP23...
