Desk of Ladyada - More Mechanical Keys, Rotary Trinkey, iMX RT chips, QT Py RP2040 and more

iMX RT development returns to Adafruit, we're kicking off more development of this platform that got a little delay late last year. Keep your eyes peeled for the Metro iMX that will hit the store in a few weeks. For Stemma Sunday we started designing our QT mechanical keyboard breakout with 4 keys and neopixels. The QT Py RP2040 is ready to go, and we ordered PCBs! We're also experimenting with different Trinkey designs, like one with a rotary encoder. The Great Search - The Great Search - Rotary Encoder with Switch https://www.digikey.com/short/fjc1vwh5 When you want to go round and round, a mechanical rotary encoder is a great user interface element. Folks find them intuitive to use and they're not too expensive either! For our new design, we need a mechanical rotary encoder with 24 pulses-per-rotation, detents, and a built in switch. Let's take a look on Digi-Key to see what's available! #adafruit #thegreatsearch #deskofladyada Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
