We're now used to parts being unavailable, and when designing a new board, we noticed the MEMS microphone we've used before, SPW2430, is NRND. Let's look at some alternatives for analog MEMS mics!See on Digi-Key at https://www.digikey.com/short/d2w32b4dVisit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.comSee more Desk of Ladyada on YouTube https…

Our HT16K33-based LED backpacks are a classic Adafruit design we've sold for many many years. So we're thinking of updating them to QT-fication for easy plug-n-play usage. We're going to do the 7-segment and quad-alphanum at the same time. maybe also a mini 16x8 too.#adafruit #stemma #HT16K33Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com-…

On yet another stemma sunday, we're revising our ancient HT16K33 LED backpacks to include QT connectors - we're also going to try to 'unify' two or three of the layouts so they can share the same PCBs. We're also interested in redoing some of our microphone breakouts so they're easier to use in a classic stemma breakout shape. We put together both …

A die-hard interface chip that is the backbone of many-a-devboard is the USB-to-UART adapter chip. While many micros come with native USB, there is still a large number that have UART only - like the ESP32, or RISC-V cores. Since most computers don't have a UART/RS232 port anymore, we're often converting UART to USB. For many years, we really like …

If it's got RGB LEDs you know we will put some rainbow swirls on 'em! Here we are testing the LED Glasses breakout and also our new ATtiny8x7 breakout with seesaw.
