We juuuuust plugged in this uBlox RTK F9P shield into USB and given the intense cost of these modules https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/u-blox/ZED-F9P-04B/15761778 we definitely had a nervous twitch but then we heard the "ba-dunk" of enumeration and wheeeewww it came up as a serial port. Heartened, we soldered on a right-angle SMA connector https://www.adafruit.com/product/1865 and connec...

As we were working on our DSI board, we noticed that, on one of our Pi's, the CSI connector clip had snapped off - sometimes when you're noodling around you can break the retaining clips, they're really not meant for repeated insertions. If this happens to you, or if you want to add a CSI/DSI connector to your design, it's better to fix the clip than to wastefully throw away the whole board. Let's...

The ENS160 Gas Sensor is an excellent air quality sensor from ScioSense, replacing the discontinued CCS811, with new driver code. This sensor incorporates a microcontroller and MOX sensor to provide detailed air quality readings via an I2C interface, but calibration against known sources is required for precision. The sensor, on a custom PCB in the STEMMA QT form factor for easy interfacing, allow...

This week we're working on reviving our old floppy hacking projects by making a dev board that will let us connect to various old-school disk drives to either control or emulate them (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Floppy). These devices used lots of motors and solenoids to spin and eject the discs, so we will need to be able to provide them with a good amount of current. For 3 1/2" floppy d...
