A couple weeks ago, we showed off a design for a TCA9548 1-to-8 I2C multiplexer. We wanted to take a look and see if there's a chip that's similar but a 4-channel version, since most folks don't necessarily need 8 of a duplicated sensor. Turns out, finding such a thing took a few extra steps and we wanted to show off how we may source a part that's…

This weekend we've been noodling around with the new ESP32 support for circuitpython. The ESP32 doesn't have mass storage but it does have wifi, so we can use that as a way to connect to the REPL and also transfer files.
