Show Notes
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).
This week it is the TI DRV8833 motor driver IC, https://www.ti.com/product/DRV8833
Digi-Key https://www.digikey.com/short/j99bc4vp
These are used in the Adafruit CRICKIT robotics controller https://www.adafruit.com/product/3343
Adafruit is looking for 4,000 to 8,000 pieces to fulfill the backlog of requests for this highly used part.
