This week we worked on redesigning a very old breakout board, the I2C/SPI LCD Backpack: https://www.adafruit.com/product/292 . We're going to add plug-n-play STEMMA QT ports and since we're doing a bit of work, why not fix up a bunch of other things that have been annoying to us? For example, the trim pot is inexpensive and reliable but a bit annoying to turn unless you have just the right screwdr...

Tutorial Link: https://learn.adafruit.com/light-up-costumes-in-harsh-environments/ Light-up costumes using LEDs are delicate. Wires break, connectors, fail, and dust or water can get into the tiniest cracks in your enclosure, causing short circuits or rust. And yet, most of our LED costumes are dreamed up, built, and created to be taken into harsh environments. We want to wear them to festivals in...

For the RP2040 SCORPIO, we have 8 level-shifted outputs that come out the end, and they may end up connecting to a looooong wire strand before hitting that first NeoPixels. To avoid ringing, we can add a small in-line resistor (say 100 ohm). But we are really tight on space! How can we fit 8 resistors into a 2mm wide strip of space? Behold the magic of 0804 resistor packs! We love packs for space...

With prices of TFTs back down to earth we're doing a lot of revisions and updates for our TFT breakouts. This week we looked at the 2.8" TFT with capacitive touch. We revised the board to go from having SOIC to TSSOP 74VHC245 level shifters, and with the space left over added an EYESPI connector. We're also trying to wrap the RP2040 Scorpio feather - this is an RP2040 board that is designed for dr...
