For our NeoPixel signal to analog LED converter design, we need to convert 3 open drain PWM outputs to drive N-channel sinking MOSFETS. To do that we'll need to invert the signal - but we don't have a ton of space. So let's source a triple-NOT gate that has push-pull output, and can run from 3 or 5V logic. We also want it to be small, but not TOO small! See the chosen part on DigiKey - https://www...

Historically, we've tested and programmed our Feather ESP8266 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2821) and ESP32 boards (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3405) from a Raspberry Pi. We'd connect over USB and run esptool.py, which works fine but has more things that can go wrong: power flickering, SD card failures, etc. It's better to fully program it with a Pico RP2040 brain board. We can do that no...

2021 and 2022 were rough years for IMUs - they were quickly sold out everywhere and remained unavailable for most of the years. We're trying to get the last of the 'part shortage' designs back into stock. This week we're doing the CLUE and Feather sense - both sensor-packed designs! We used a 'pair' of chips, the LSM6DS33 plus the LIS3MDL. We previously found an alternative to the LIS3MDL (https:/...

We got these samples of 'two-faced' metal-gear motors. They're basically like a cross between our metal-geared motor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3801) and the double-axle plastic gear motor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3777), perhaps useful for some robotics projects! We want to ensure the motor is good quality and will work effortlessly with our hardware, so we run it on our demo Feath...

The Adafruit TS3USB30 1 to 2 USB Switch is a nifty breakout board for the TI TS3USB30 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TS3USB30ERSWR/2092506) that will let you connect one of two USB devices to a single port, handy when you have multiple chips that you may want to communicate over USB but you don't want a hub. Our new breakout will connect one or the other. We designed...
