we rummaged through CircuitPython project-lead tannewt's github branches to find this build of CircuitPython with DVI output support. now you can treat any HDMI monitor as a display for CircuitPython - for example here we are running "turtle" (https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html) demos that show making cool graphical shapes, but to a display on our desk, via the Feather RP2040 with DVI (...

the Intellikeys is a popular accessibility device with custom overlays, that is no longer supported. even though it has a USB plug it doesn't work like many USB devices: it doesn't enumerate as an HID keyboard, instead it downloads the firmware from the computer driver! that means it'll never work with many modern devices ike chromebooks or iPads...unless you've got a specialized device like the R...

From our mailbag, a request from a viewer! "Hey, I recently had a terrible time on digikey finding a push-on push-off switch... I think because I was not understanding their "switch function" filter... Would love a video about it sometime!" A great question for a great search, let's take a look at a panel mount switch with Push-On Push-Off capability. There's a lot of tricky search elements to sel...

our line of RP2040 Feather 'bones' continues a-pace. this week its an e-ink capable feather. the rp2040 chipset is a great e-paper driver because its got tons of SRAM for buffering the image bitmaps all at once. almost all paper displays use the same 24-pin connection so its easy to swap out different displays. during the test procedure of this feather, we load a test code that flashes TEST OK and...

This week in our sample pile we have an I2C/SPI character LCD module we're checking out. Although historically 16x2 character displays use a parallel method of addressing - with 4 or 8 bit data input and a write latch - most folks don't want to waste so many pins on such a slow display. So, instead, many now come with I2C interfaces. That makes wiring or routing a lot easier! Digi-Key stocks a huu...

This weekend we took an itsy-bitsy-tiny-winy break from churning out new designs to try and dig our way out of the giant sample pile! we've got cool rotary encoders, some I2C LCDs, conductive fabrics, a miniature USB camera and more. Also, we'll snoop around tannewt's github repo to find a build of the DVI Feather for CircuitPython that now supports displayio to an HDMI monitor. The Great Search -...
