This week we saw a lot of chatter about Zilog's End-of-Life Notification (https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus/5570/PCN_ZAC24-0029.pdf) for their Z84C series chips. These chips were pretty cool because they were true Z80 processors and available in DIP format! They are still in stock at DigiKey for now (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/zilog/Z84C0010PEG/929206) and there's a last-time-buy, so if you happen to want some large quantity, it's possible to put in a request for one last batch. There are also other Z80 processors available, so you're not totally out of luck if you need some 8-bit goodness. In theory, you could even wire-wrap or breadboard using a QFP-to-DIP adapter plate.

ATMakers emailed and asked if we'd make a Trinkey (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=trinkey) with a TRRS jack (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5764) on the end, for making customizable HID devices that use simple 3.5mm audio jack connectors. ideally something that will make AT - Accessibility Technology - projects EZ to build and maintain. here's our take on it, what's interesting is each pin of the jack - including the two switches for tip and ring1 - connect to GPIO / analog inputs on the SAMD21. there's no pre-defined VCC or GND because different switch and joystick makers have different configurations and we might want to change around what pins are power, ground, pullups, etc! this board will be great for use with CircuitPython to make any sort of AT switch or potentiometer interface super fast, to demo it we've written up a quick CPy sketch that will listen for two switches, and when they're pressed, blink the NeoPixel and emit keypresses as if its a keyboard. code is in the PR for this board (https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/9190#issuecomment-2067764251) since we have great HID support it could also be a mouse or joystick device and it will work with any computer/tablet/console with a USB port.

Keep your Pico toes Toasty with a DVI Sock the Raspberry Pi RP2040 has a fun trick up it's sleeve, er, pants! it can bitbang DVI video output from a series of pins using PIO as long as its overclocked enough and you have the PIO peripherals available. we already designed a DVI PiCowbell (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5745), but we rather like the DVI sock design originating from wren6991 (https://github.com/Wren6991/Pico-DVI-Sock) it's designed to slip on to the 'foot' of a Pico or PicoW and there's a few times where i've thought "oh man I wish I had a DVI sock to test this-or-that" so here's our spin on it, we kept the sockish-PCB, the full-size DVI port, mounting holes, and passives. we added a couple more breakout holes for CEC, Util and HotPlugDetect. this should make our video toaster, er, toaster video projects ez-breezy Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ ----------------------------------------- #adafruit #toasters #dvi

Psst...this week's EYE ON NPI is no secret, and despite having the word "Pseudo" in the name, it's the Real Deal: This week it's ISSI's Serial and Quad PSRAM chips (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/issi/serial-ram-and-quad-ram-solutions), an excellent addition to your next microcontroller board to quickly boost your RAM stack to megabyte proportions! Microcontrollers have come a long way since 8-bit chips like the ATmega328 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/123). What used to be a luxurious 32 KB of flash memory and 2 KB of SRAM is now nowhere-near-enough storage for handling the big computation requirements we're trying to squeeze into embedded products. It used to be enough to handle some buttons, blink a few LEDs, maybe at best read a sensor and control a motor. Now we need internet connectivity, full graphics support, and machine learning algorithms running on large sensor data sets! As we've seen, microcontrollers have evolved from 8-bit AVR to Cortex M0 to Cortex M4 and even M7 - or if you're a fan of Espressif chips, Tensilica/RISC-V 240 MHz processors. But what you are paying for in a microcontroller is often related to the density and size of the die, and on many processors, the RAM and FLASH can start to take up a dominant amount of die real-estate. SRAM and Flash may also require larger nm 'processes' that are harder to book. As a result, we're seeing chips like the RP2040 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0914-13/14306010) that have on-chip SRAM but no longer have on-chip Flash memory. Instead, you're expected to pick up a QSPI flash chip and wire it up to the 6-pin interface. By clever usage of on-chip instruction cache, you can get close to on-board FLASH speeds but with the flexibility and size of external memory: it's hard to find a chip with more than 1 MB of internal FLASH but you can easily get 16 MB of external memory like the ISSI IS25WP128 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/issi-integrated-silicon-solution-inc/IS25WP128-JBLE/5431600) for only a couple bucks! OK now you've got plenty of space for your code, but what about RAM? That's where you'll be buffering graphics, storing data to process, or for IoT products, storing large packets of data that may need to be encrypted before sending/receiving. SRAM is also big and kinda expensive, so it's no surprise that many advanced processors these days also support external RAM chips. Now, most folks aware that microprocessors (as opposed to microcontrollers) have required external RAM for quite a long time - but often those used large DRAM chips with 8, 16 or 32-bit parallel interfaces like the IS42 series (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/issi-integrated-silicon-solution-inc/IS42S16400J-7TL/2708623). These of course are not going to work when you only have 32-ish GPIO available. That's where 8-pin PSRAM chips come in - and we're starting to see lots of 'low pin count' microcontrollers support these. For example the iMX RT1062 (https://www.digikey.com/short/0fhbdwv0) used in the Teensy 4.1 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4622) supports PSRAM - check the SOIC-8 footprint on the bottom. Likewise the ESP32 series has wide support for PSRAM, their modules come with 8-SOIC 2MB chips very often. The extra PSRAM comes in handy when doing large IoT projects where you have to buffer an entire image, or JSON structure. Especially over TLS connections that require a lot of RAM to process! Note that while you could use the ISSI PSRAM chips with any processor, thanks to the generic SPI or QSPI interface, you really do want a chip to have 'native' PSRAM support so that the compiler and core will automatically map the PSRAM out so it is accessed transparently to your code. You'll likely need to enable PSRAM support in your toolchain and of course wire it up to the supported QSPI interface pins. Also, sometimes you need to be careful about where some memory goes, like volatile or interrupt-accessed addresses. Sometimes you also have to tell the compiler what ID code or command-set to use, since things like enabling the QEN bit can vary from chip to chip. With a universal pinout and speedy 100MHz clock rate, PSRAM is a fast and easy way to make your micro roomier. If you're not sure which to pick, maybe start with the IS66WVS2M8BLL (https://www.digikey.com/short/29b1dzqf) a 2 MByte / 16 MBit 3.3V-logic SOIC-8 PSRAM chip. If you're ready to add encyclopedic memory in your next design, you are in luck, because the ISSI Serial and Quad PSRAM chips (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/issi/serial-ram-and-quad-ram-solutions) are in stock right now for immediate shipment! Order today and you'll get your chips in hand by tomorrow afternoon.

This week on the Great Search, we saw someone on social media talking about repairing an old device that has a 'split' supply with multiple voltages. (https://twitter.com/dorksince93/status/1779346977861615666) Usually your AC-DC adapter converts 110~220VAC into 12VDC. But sometimes you need +12V, -12V, plus maybe a 5V for good measure. And sometimes the connector ends up being a DIN because it has to support so many different voltages! (https://twitter.com/dorksince93/status/1779346977861615666/photo/1) Let's show how we can find this kind of device, as well as a matching cord (https://www.digikey.com/short/n8z3h7nn) on DigiKey so that we can resuscitate some old devices and keep them out of the landfill!

We designed this CH552-based QT Py board before the chip shortage, but now parts are plentiful so we made some prototypes and are trying out the CH55xduino (https://github.com/DeqingSun/ch55xduino) board support package. and, it works! but watch out, its C not C++ so you can't use the huge collection of existing libraries and drivers. however, for about '40 cents' per chip, you get a 8051 with native USB that can do CDC/HID, has 4x 8-bit ADCs, hardware serial, I2C, SPI and doesn't need a crystal or a lot of passives. obviously there's down sides to such a minimal 8-bit microcontroller chip but we think it could be super fun for some very basic USB projects!

This week's EYE ON NPI will make you say "Yeee-haww", to the buckin'-and-boostin' bronco known as the Richtek RT6160A Buck-Boost Converter with I²C Interface (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/r/richtek/rt6160a-buck-boost-converter). The RT6160A is a high-efficiency, single-inductor, synchronous buck-boost converter that can provide up to 3 Amps of current to a dynamically-configurable voltage from 2.025V to 5.2V. With an amazing 2uA quiescent current, this chip lets you add an advanced power supply for the price of an LDO that will let you design with the smallest possible battery. We're big fans of Richtek for low quiescent power supply chips - our favorite 3.3V LDO is the RT9080-33 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/richtek-usa-inc/RT9080-33GJ5/6161634) which can provide up to 600mA with a 0.5V dropout, and a really nice 4uA quiescent current. This is great for deep-sleep wireless projects where you've got a chip with ultra-low power snooze modes, like the ESP32 - we were able to get down to 10.5 uA in deep sleep thanks to the RT9080! (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-itsybitsy-esp32/low-power-use). Compare that to the AP2112K which we used to use, has a quiescent current of 55uA. However, the RT9080 is a LDO fixed at 3.3V@600mA - and of course, LDOs have that dropout which translates to power lost. If you want to sip every last Coulomb out of the battery on hand, you'll need a DC/DC converter. Usually we see a buck converter - since you are converting from a Lithium Polymer battery, you'll have 3.7V nominal, 4.2V peak voltage and maybe you'll buck that down to 3V. If you want to really get the best possible range of performance, you can go with a buck boost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck%E2%80%93boost_converter). That way you can buck down from 3.4-4.2V and then as the battery starts drooping, the chip switches into a boost mode to cover the 2.7V~3.2V range. The RT6160A is a Buck-Boost converter that seems well designed for battery-powered projects, with an input and output range of about 2 to 5V. The default output is 3.3V and you can 'select' between two voltages by toggling a GPIO pin. This makes it easy to adjust the desired voltage and then swap from 'high' to 'low' voltages without an I2C command. Why would you want two voltages? Well, you could use 3.3V or greater for when you want the best performance from a radio, then drop down to 2.5V when the radio isn't on and you want to reduce both the conversion current and also reduce your chip quiescent current: most microcontrollers will use lower current at lower voltages since they are not pushing around as much current onto the internal logic FETs. Combine this with a microcontroller's dynamic clock frequency configuration and you've got a simple system to squeeze more current out of your battery. And usually you have to 'spend' a lot of current to run the DC/DC converter, but this chip has an amazing 2uA quiescent current - lower than most LDOs we've used, and amazing for an up-to-3A output device. If you want to have the lowest quiescent, highest-flexibility power management chip in your next design, the Richtek RT6160A Buck-Boost Converter with I²C Interface (https://www.digikey.com/short/hv7fm4nt) is an excellent choice: Richtek really know their power supplies and they keep it nice and simple so you can get to integration instantly. Best of all, DigiKey has the RT6160A (https://www.digikey.com/short/hv7fm4nt) in stock right now, for immediate shipment, and $1.32 by the reel! All you need is some ceramic caps and an inductor. For fast testing in your application, there are also some EVB_RT6160AWSC (https://www.digikey.com/short/0p80hqvj) eval boards in stock. Order today and you can be waving your cowboy hat in celebration by tomorrow afternoon.

This week on the Great Search, we're going to be looking for the Type C version of the USB A plugs we have on some of our boards, like our Bluefruit Friend (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2267). This will let us make our Trinkey's modern-friendly and will let them be plugged in directly into USB C. The only problem is we want a connector that can be pick-and-placed and does not need manual insertion on the end of a PCB like many of the connectors we've seen in the field.

The ESP32-C6 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5672) is Espressif’s first Wi-Fi 6 SoC integrating 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE) and the 802.15.4 protocol. It brings the goodness you know from the low-cost C3 series (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5337) and improves it with Zigbee/802.15.4 at 2.4Ghz. That means it could make for great Matter (https://csa-iot.org/all-solutions/matter/) development hardware! We took our Feather ESP32-S2 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5000) and swapped out the 'S2 for a C6. Plus some re-routing and here's what we've got: a C6 Feather with lots of GPIO, lipoly charging and monitoring with the MAX17048, (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5580) NeoPixel, I2C Stemma QT port, and a second low-quiescent LDO for disabling the I2C and NeoPixel when we want ultra-low power usage. We also tossed a BME280 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2652) on there, so you could use it immediately as a low power temp/hum/pressure sensor. Now it's time to do the bringup - we like to blink LEDs, toggle pins, and also check that NeoPixels glow up. Good news: so far everything works! We're going to keep at it and see if we can maybe get a simple Matter demo going before we book the PCBs #adafruit #feather #esp32c6 #featherboard #wifi6 #bluetooth5 #zigbee #matteriot #lowpower #iotdevelopment #tempmonitoring #pcbdesign Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/led-festival-coat-with-mapping-and-wled This guide will demonstrate two different methods of lighting up a coat: Fur Trim Lights: String LED lights inside the ubiquitous furry trim that's found on so many Festival jackets. This is a fairly easy build that doesn't require a lot of sewing or coding skills. Light Matrix Panels: Create a 3-panel LED matrix between the coat fabric and lining that runs 2d animations on the body of the coat. This is a more complicated build that requires some coat deconstruction and sewing, and requires some detail-oriented number work to get the LED map created. The wiring is the same for both builds, and it's possible to do both in the same coat, though that makes the software setup pretty tricky. This guide uses the free, open-source WLED software. It's easy to install and to use. Control the lights with your phone or computer over your WiFi network when you're at home, or via AP-MODE (access point mode) when you're out and about. WLED comes with loads of customizable animations for your lights.

our popular USB Host FeatherWing (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5858) lets anyone with a Feather board add USB Host support via the MAX3421E (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/analog-devices-inc-maxim-integrated/MAX3421EETJ-T/1455883) chip - a tried and true SPI-to-USB converter. here's a tinified version, that fits on the back of any QT Py or Xiao board. use SPI plus a CS and IRQ pin and you're ready to rock. theres tinyUSB support for me MAX3421 chip (https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/issues/2001) for Arduino which means its trivial to connect to a USB keyboard, mouse, storage key, or a USB serial device like this Trinkey! We're using our SHT45 Trinkey (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5896) as a demo board since its an easy way to quickly verify enumeration and data transfer. since the BFF/QTPy form-factor is too small for a proper USB Type A, we're going with a micro B, you can just an OTG adapter to turn it into a full size A (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1099) Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

Back in 2021 we were on a real tear (https://blog.adafruit.com/?s=trinkey) making a whole bunch of 'low cost and easy to use' USB devices called Trinkeys (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=trinkey): the idea is you could just shove it into your USB A port on a computer or laptop and get instant access to a few NeoPixels (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4870) or an APDS9960 proximity sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5022) or a rotary encoder (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4964). buuuut then there was a massive chip shortage (https://blog.adafruit.com/category/adafruit-video/chip-shortage/) and we couldn't get any ATSAMD21E18's which power most of the designs. welp, we have lots now. so lets keep designing Trinkeys! This is a trinkey with an SHT45 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5665), a favorite humidity and temperature sensor! The factory code will just spit out temperature and humidity over the USB Serial port in CSV format for easy integration. there's also a neopixel and a captouch sensor. we added a U-shaped cut-out to minimize self-heating from the neopixel or samd21 chip to get the best accuracy, we'll also have a version with an SHT41 that's less expensive (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5776) Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

This week on the Great Search, we saw a post on social media asking for good quality through-hole 1% resistor kits. (https://twitter.com/mightyohm/status/1772784883313836284). We've bumped into the same issue as Jeff, where getting inexpensive kits are poorly packaged and are '1/8W' style with skinny leads that do not grip into breadboards. Thankfully, DigiKey has such in stock - let's check out the resistor packs available and which ones you may want to start with so you don't break-the-bank.

We got a request from some folks for "solder-less pin header" - these snap-apart headers look just like your regular pin headers but they have a little slot in the shorter end that can make a cold-contact with pads on a PCB. only thing is, since they are wedged in, you need some good leverage and it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. but they do work, we checked continuity! for quick prototyping, these could be kinda handy. coming soon to the adafruit shop....

This week's EYE ON NPI is going double-or-nothing, not only is this segment brought to you by DigiKey, the product this week is also from DigiKey: it's the DIGIKEY STANDARD Tool Kit DKS-TK1 (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/digikey-standard/standard-tool-kit) an all-in-one pack that contains tools and accessories to make electronics assembly & repair a breeze. Part of DigiKey's new branding is stocking some of their own designs under the "DigiKey Standard" name (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/digikey-standard). For example, DK has their own line of battery holders (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/category/battery-products/6?v=8174,4883,4957,1618,4937,4935,4783,5021), project prototyping boxes (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/category/boxes-enclosures-racks/27?v=8174,4883,4957,1618,4937,4935,4783,5021), and heat shrink (https://www.digikey.com/short/bbfzd04f) amongst others. This product is reminiscent of our "Ladyada Toolkit" (https://www.adafruit.com/product/136), a $100 pack for folks who kept asking us how to "get started soldering and assembling Adafruit kits" Included is... - Hakko Blue 508 soldering iron (https://www.digikey.com/short/3787w0h1) with conical SMT tip installed. An extra tip is also included. 120V 40W US plug - Soldering iron rest with sponge - Wire solder - 0.8mm diameter, 50 g - Solder Wick - 2mm wide 5ft long - Solder Sucker - Screwdriver Kit - with Philips 00, 0 and 1 plus Flathead 2mm, 2.4mm and 3mm - CAT III multimeter with leads, for resistance, continuity, voltage, and current measurement. A 9V battery is also included and should be installed before usage - Fancy Wire stripper - with slots for 10 AWG through 24 AWG - Wire Cutters - Needle Nose Pliers - Rugged hinged tote with labeled slots for all items All together, a great starter kit for a student, school, technician or maker who needs a little bit of everything. In particular we like that DigiKey splurged on a Hakko quality iron and gives you an extra soldering tip! If you are looking for a great starter kit for a maker or engineer, or just want to outfit your workshop or office with a repair kit that can put together or take apart electronics, the Digikey Standard Tool Kit (https://www.digikey.com/short/bhnjr8p8) is in stock right now for immediate shipment. Order today and it will ship immediately so you can start soldering by tomorrow afternoon.
