We're interested in implementing an ultrasonic distance sensor on a microcontroller without using a 'standard' off-the-shelf chip with trigger/pulse mode. Also, because we're sorta curious how these things work! But first up we have to acquire some ultrasonic sensors. It's definitely easier to design a sonar with two elements - one to transmit and one to receive - but perhaps some clever code/hard...

The RCWL sensor has a lil solder jumper on the back that lets you turn it into "IIC" mode - we tried it out and ... it kinda works! This sensor can be used on an I2C bus, but it doesn't seem to do well if sharing it with other devices. Still, if you have a microcontroller or microcomputer that doesn't have fast GPIO for toggle/pulse or a hardware UART, you definitely can use it for inexpensive sen...

Let's go through some of the samples we've received this week to see if any are worthy of stocking in the adafruit shop! We've got some soldering kits, translucent rotary encoders, DC plug adapters and rainbowy hex wrenches. We're also looking at some ultrasonic transducers, useful when you want to create or detect ultrasonic waves in a custom situation. The Great Search - Ultrasonic Transmitter/R...

This week's EYE ON NPI is going loooooooooooooong with a fully integrated Long Range radio module + microcontroller - it's the Murata's Type 1SJ Integrated LoRaWAN Module (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/murata-electronics-north-america/type-1sj-integrated-lorawan-module). This nifty wafer-thin chip is an all-in-one compact solution for adding far-reaching wireless without the cost...

Chip Shortage is a new 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).

On last weeks' The Great Search, we spent some time looking for a drop-in replacement for our go-to regulator, the AP2112K-3.3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/q4wh4ftz) and we found some SOT23-5 sized parts that have a fairly low drop-out and fair current output for most of our breakouts - the AP7354 (https://www.digikey.com/short/2bznd7d3). However what we really need is something with 500mA+ curr...
