This firmware UF2 for the Raspberry Pi Pico W LOOKS simple enough... on boot it blinks the onboard LED 3 times and then boots into CircuitPython 8. but, looks can be deceiving! the LED on the Pico W is not connected to a GPIO on the RP2040... it's connected to a GPIO on the WiFi/BLE module! that blinking means that we're able to load firmware and communicate with the module in the CircuitPython fi...

Wow we did a lil cleanout of some ~2 year old prototypes and found a bunch that were either forgotten or could not be made and now that there's a *slight* loosening of the parts shortage, we're able to wrap these up and get them into the shop: the ENS160 CO2 sensor, QT hub, QT level shifter, DS4420 are among the many we wrapped this week and ordered PCBs. We also got a big pile of prototype PCBs t...

This week's EYE ON NPI is a throwback to the 8-bit era, with a new spin on the classic AVR microcontrollers we've loved for decades: it's Microchip's AVR® DD Family of Microcontrollers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/microchip-technology/avr-dd-family-of-microcontrollers), a powerful update to the powerful and low-power AVR RISC core that came from Atmel. While many folks may be mo...

We've carried the CCS811 as a breakout board (https://www.digikey.com/short/87r2tq3f) for a while now, but the sensor itself is now discontinued! (https://www.digikey.com/short/0n58n301) We checked out the official replacement, ENS160 (https://www.digikey.com/short/db4fqrv3) but it's not in stock right now. We stock a few other gas sensors, but it's a good time for us to take a peek at what is new...

This weekend was super bright and sunny, which made it a great time to test out a whole mess of light sensors. We got in our samples from last weeks' chat, the ultra-low-cost LTR-329 (https://www.digikey.com/short/jvn94ncp). This sensor would make a good digital-only alternative to the ALS-PT19 (https://www.digikey.com/short/n550jdwp) 'analog' light sensor. And 'while we were there' we also picked...
