This week's EYE ON NPI has great vibes, it's ST Micro's AIS25BA 3-Axis Accelerometer (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/ais25ba-3-axis-accelerometer) a unique take on the classic tripe-axis motion sensor where data is streamed out with a TDM interface rather than I2C or SPI! We've never seen this kind of sensor but the idea behind its use case is kinda cool and is a...

Chip Shortage is a feature video by Adafruit's Ladyada to highlight items that are in short supply or possibly "unobtainium" (with no known return date to the market).

We think FRAM chips are the most underrated storage chips engineers can use - they're excellent for datalogging! They also solve the biggest frustration when people try to stream data to EEPROM, SD card or Flash memory: erase times for blocks can stretch to hundreds of milliseconds, and you often need to write a whole block at a time. SRAM is nice but will erase itself when power is lost. If you n...

we're trying to revive the old EZ-Link Bluefruit design from many years ago - originally done with a CSR chipset that became very hard for us to get. ESP32 is a lot easier and the original chip has BT classic support - required for BT SPP which is what we're using. This test uses the Arduino IDE, we are uploading code from the IDE 'transparently' to the COM port which the operating system makes wh...

Last time we checked in on the PicoW CircuitPy progress, we saw the onboard LED blinking - basically proving that the SPI transport and firmware upload was working. This round, we're starting to see the beginnings of integration support, with the ability to read the MAC address, scan for accessible SSIDs, and connect to get an IP address! there's still a lot more to do, like DNS support, LWIP inte...

We got a whole mess of interesting mechanical samples - from fancy-pants breadboards to encoders and joysticks. We're also doing a lil bit of refactoring of hardware designs, since it was time to re-order 1.8" TFT breakout PCBs we decided to give up a glow-up to add an EYESPI port. Also we've started the tester for the ESP32 ItsyBitsy. The Great Search - Replacement SPI FRAM https://www.digikey.co...
