NeoPixel LEDs (a.k.a WS2812 / SK6812 family) are a super-easy way to add addressable RGB lighting with only one GPIO. they're ubiquitous on microcontrollers, but some chips or SBC's dont have neopixel support due to the precision timing required to send data. we often get folks asking how to get NeoPixels working on some OrangeBananaOnionRockchipAllWinner Pi type board, given we have our Blinka li...

Most of our testers use pretty simple gpio toggling to verify everything's connected - but for our Radio Feathers https://lnkd.in/gsrgRF9C we want to also verify that the radio signal is connected through properly. so we use a separate radio to ping pong a message and check the RSSI. traditionally we did this with separate radio feathers but that got a little annoying to manage since they'd get lo...

Kailh CHOC switches are low profile and are available in linear or clicky style https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=choc and they are very cool looking - but one thing they aren't is MX compatible! they have a totally different pinout so we need new breakout boards if we want to use them in a project. This is a simple 'port' of our NeoKey https://www.adafruit.com/product/4978 that has a CHOC socket...

This week marks the 10th anniversary of MicroPython, the project from which CircuitPython is derived. We've also been churning out lots of Raspberry Pi RP2040-based microcontroller boards - and maybe you'd like to also make your own designs based on the popular chip! Well you are in luck, there's tons of RP2040 chips and devboards available at Digi-Key. Let's look at some options for RP2040 integr...

our first version of the pico dvi bell didn't quite work, but the second version has the right pinouts and is ready for testing. here we're trying it with CircuitPython *and* WiFi support: so we're able to connect over the internet with SSL to a site, get data, and then display it on a monitor. since the Pico W requires a lot of memory for the wireless connectivity we're using monochrome DVI outpu...
