just before sending off our PCF8574 gpio expander breakout board, we noticed that the package we were using (QFN) was no longer available...but we COULD get the TDFN version. so a lil swapperoo and reroute occurred right before ordering the panels. super risky because we didn't test the footprint but we were pretty confident. anyways, we did want to test before our big initial fabrication run so t...

Hey everyone! we are back at our desk, its toasty out so we're staying in during the day and cranking out some designs. one project we think we might be able to work on this summer is a de-zombification of the EZ-Link and EZ-Key boards from many years ago. these bluetooth classic boards rocked but suffered from using a really frustrating development and sourcing process. so we're gonna try to 'por...

https://www.digikey.com/short/cp05vd44 Many devices and sensors like it if you give them a fancy reset pulse after power has come up, particularly displays and OLEDs! But sometime for wiring simplicity we would like to skip using a microcontroller pin, and have the breakout board autoreset on power loss. In such cases we use a 'power on reset' chip such as the APX803-26SAG https://www.digikey.com/...
