We have designed a breakout that lets folks use either 8-bit or SPI addressing mode - similar to our 3.5" resistive breakout (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2050). this tester lets us verify both 'sides' work: flip the switch one way to test the display in SPI mode plus SD card, flip the other way to communicate via 8-bit 8080-style and also verify the touchscreen. with all tested, its time for...

This week's Great Search comes as a social media request for terminal strips from a HAM radio hacker . These can be great for free or panel wiring high power electronic components. They can be attached to an enclosure or a wooden 'breadboard'. See the chosen part on DigiKey https://www.digikey.com/short/f7fd83mh

When you see a round display, do you think... pizza? planet? beachball? no? how about a Stargate animation! there's three parts to getting these funky displays working with raspberry pi over the DSI port: the SPI configuration of the screen, the I2C configuration of the ICN6211 converter and the DTO device tree overlay on the pi itself. all must be perfect for an image to appear! to make it less c...

we love a colorbar, oh oh oh oh! red, orange, yellow, green, blue... we love a rainbow when it appears on our TFT display! there's three parts to getting these funky displays working with raspberry pi over the DSI port: the SPI configuration of the screen, the I2C configuration of the ICN6211 converter and the DTO device tree overlay on the pi itself. all must be perfect for an image to appear! to...

there's three parts to getting these funky displays working with raspberry pi over the DSI port: the SPI configuration of the screen, the I2C configuration of the ICN6211 converter and the DTO device tree overlay on the pi itself. all must be perfect for an image to appear! to make it less complex, we're going to only do one part at a time and celebrate the successes. first is the SPI configuratio...

yesterday we had the square 4" 720x720 TFT display (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5794) working with our Raspberry Pi DTO + ICN6211 configuration. now we want to move onto a round screen. one thing that was kinda nice about that screen is it does not require an SPI init code - it pops up immediately into RGB TTL mode. all our other screens require configuration. which means now we have a lot of...

we took october off from working on this project, but we're back baby! a PR was submitted to allow DTO-level configuration of display timings , rather than having a specialized driver for each display config (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/5640) which, if merged in by the raspi folks, will mean we don't need to do specialized kernel compilation or module work. at the same time im workin...

for more than a year we've been slowly revising just about every product we make to account for changes in transistors, regulators, diodes, boosters...lots of churn! we're finally up to revision #500 and we're happy to finally get to a product that had to have nearly every component changed: the 3.5" TFT FeatherWing (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3651), the touch driver went from STMPE811 to TS...

We saw this call for help over on X, asking for a DigiKey part number for "graphite based thermal pads" (https://twitter.com/ghost_motley/status/1709160119852765465) . These are used to cool down chips on CPUs or GPUs when performing heavy computation. Normally folks use thermal paste but there's also thermal pads that can be used. These are less messy and are more forgiving of gaps or rough spots...

Our cute 2.1" round 480x480 TFT display (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5792) has a CST826 capacitive touchscreen overlay - different than the other screens that all have Focaltech FT6336U or similar. Thanks to MakerMelissa we now have support in both Arduino (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CST8XX_Library) and CircuitPython (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_CST8XX)!
