Social media is abuzz lately over the prospect of cheating in tournament strategy games. Is it happening? How is that possible with officials watching? Could there be a hidden receiver somewhere? What can be done to rectify this? These are probing questions! We’ll get to the bottom of this by making a simple one-way hidden communicator using Adafruit parts and the Adafruit IO service. Not for actu...

A few months ago, we were forced to find a replacement for the FAN5333 constant-current LED driver (https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/08/02/the-great-search-white-led-strand-backlight-constant-current-driver-fan5333-replacement-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit/). Well, now we have to find a replacement for its sister - the fixed voltage boost converter FAN5331 (https://www.digikey.com/short/bzrmmh08)...

Desk of Ladyada - time for some newNEWnEw designs! We designed a bunch of boards this week, let's take a look at what got spun up: With Si5351's back in stock and available, we have QTified the breakout board for this popular clock generator. We're also QTifying the ADT7410 and EYESPIifying the 1.8" and 1.54" TFTs. The TPS61040 is a fair replacement for the FAN5333, so there's a mini breakout for...

For our TCA9548 QT breakout, we're going to allow switching the QT power and signal between 3 and 5V, so it could be used for level shifting. This means the switch itself will be carrying power - we're not using a separate FET-based switch. It's reasonable for us to expect about 500mA total current among all of the 'client' boards, and we have a 500mA regulator on board to manage that. However, th...
