The Great Search: Solder Paste Syringe for Hot Plate Rework

This week we had to do some reworking of an ESP32 module that has pads underneath. When this happens, we have to apply paste using a syringe to the pads and then heat up the PCB and module together with a hot-plate or hot-air machine. Solder paste syringes are super handy to have and have a long shelf life. Let's look at some options on Digi-Key and which ones you'd pick based on your rework or solder needs!

EYE on NPI: WAGO 2601 Series Super-Compact PCB Terminal Blocks

This week's EYE ON NPI is clipped in and ready to roll, with WAGO 2601 Series Super-Compact PCB Terminal Blocks (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/w/wago/2601-series-pcb-terminal-blocks) available in both horizontal (https://www.digikey.com/short/twfw2cjh) and vertical types (https://www.digikey.com/short/7t4fp5b5) and a wide range of widths. These terminal blocks feature WAGO's famed snap-lock levers for quick and secure connectivity with certified current handling that can support your high-current and high-voltage setups and a wide range of wire gauges. Terminal blocks (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/wire-to-board/371?s=N4IgTCBcDaIC4FMBOBbAlgOwIYBsAEARjgPYDGA1gM4gC6AvkA) are super common to find on any electronics product, especially used for power and motor connections where you need high current/voltage capabilities because every day connectors like JST PH's (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/S4B-PH-SM4-TB-LF-SN/926657) are only rated for a few Amps and it's common to need 5A or more for power/motor connectivity. Terminal blocks are also inexpensive, easy to use, and don't require custom connectors or crimping: any stranded or solid core wire will fit and work and you can rearrange wire order if necessary. Traditionally, we've used the side-entry-with-top-screw type of terminal block -- Digi-Key has a video that describes all the different types of terminal blocks you may encounter here (https://www.digikey.com/en/videos/c/cui/the-ultimate-guide-to-terminal-block-selection). However, it can be easy for folks to misuse them by not tightening enough, or accidentally inserting outside of the block's "mouth". Also, sometimes they're Phillips screw, sometimes they're Flathead - or folks end up stripping them by over-tightening or having the wrong size driver. These WAGO 2601 Series Super-Compact PCB Terminal Blocks (https://www.digikey.com/short/bnw5b3pz) are a super-fancy upgrade to classic terminal blocks. They're still the 3.5mm pitch of compact terminal blocks, but come with WAGO-quality levels that can be lifted with a finger to open the mouth, and snapped down in a moment. Two through-hole pins per contact give good mechanical stability when hand, selective or wave-soldered onto your board. Wires can be 26 to 16 AWG, and solid core wires can even be push-inserted in as long as they are 20AWG or thicker. (https://wago.priintcloud.com/datasheets/2601-1104/en_US/e75ede034608c38f290f16f29cacc6cc) Each contact can handle 300V and 10A, and the terminals are UL/IEC rated so you can trust their power capacities! In case you're wondering, if WAGO tests to figure out what happens if the ratings are exceeded, may we point you at this entertaining video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg6VPucscxI) where the engineers got to turn the WAGO block into a heat lamp! Best of all, the WAGO 2601 Series Super-Compact PCB Terminal Blocks (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/w/wago/2601-series-pcb-terminal-blocks) are available and in stock right now at Digi-Key for immediate shipment in a range of widths and orientations. Upgrade your design for these awesome terminal blocks to make connections reliable and error-proof, if you order today you'll have any size you like by tomorrow afternoon!

Tutorial: Add Lights to your Costume with Adafruit n00ds

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/light-up-your-costume-with-noods/overview Adafruit Noods are little noodles of light. They're as simple to use as a regular LED - connect one end to power and one end to ground, and they light up and glow. They're incredibly bendy and flexible, making them just perfect for small subtle costume details. A nood will last for hours on a single coin cell battery, with no big noisy EL-wire inverter to manage. This video shows how to hook up one n00d. Check the learning system tutorial to learn to hook up multiple n00ds to a microcontroller and add modes and sequences to your lights.

The Great Search: 5 Way Navigation Switch

This week's Great Search is on the look-out for a navigation switch. These are like 'joysticks' or 'thumbsticks' but are mechanical not analog in nature. They're great for small interfaces where you want a directional navigation with up/down/left/right and select but without a ton of buttons. There are two we've used historically - lately we've settled on this chunky-style one and hey, you can get this type at Digi-Key!

The Great Search: Mini 3x6mm Tactile Switches with Big Actuators

Little tact buttons are sprinkled throughout our designs: reset buttons, or mode selects, they're compact yet fairly easy to use. Historically we have called these "KMR2" buttons (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/tactile-switches/197?s=N4IgjCBcoLQCxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAG4B2aWehA9lANrgBsATAKwAMIAuoQA4AuUECAC%20ooA). Let's check what's available at a good price for folks who want to use these in their projects. In particular, we're going to spec a mini tactile button with a larger-than-usual actuator which we are growing fond of.

last proto PCB test of the year - ESP32-S2 Feather with Reverse Mount TFT

this new feather prototype is sorta like our existing ESP32-S2 w/TFT Feather (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5300) but it's reverse mount, so its got a little more space around the display. could make it easier to panel mount, plus we get some extra room for buttons! here we have the factory test demo code with three buttons, i2c scan, and battery monitoring via the MAX17048 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5580) 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/ ----------------------------------------- #adafruit #feather #esp32

Ring in the new year with some picowbell designs

one of the successes we had with the adafruit feather / featherwing format is that we spent a year making a new feather board once a week - for a total of 50 boards and accessories. for 2023 we're seeing a lot of folks using the raspberry pi pico and pico w (https://www.adafruit.com/category/875) so we were thinking we could 'port' the designs over from 'wings to 'bells. we already did the proto cowbell (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5200) and now we're designing a port of the adalogging 'wing (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2922) which adds a QT port, RTC with battery, and microSD card. the battery holder just barely fits!

An IoT Button BFF for any QT Py / Xiao board

we've got a bunch of boards in the QT Py format on the adafruit shop (https://www.adafruit.com/?q=qt+py&sort=BestMatch) they are all adorable, small and great for tiny projects. we've got SAMD21, RP2040, ESP32 of various types...chatting about possible projects we thought it would be a good idea to have a BFF add-on board (https://www.adafruit.com/?q=bff&sort=BestMatch) that can make a quick IoT button. this PCB has a 12mm SMT tactile switch and a neopixel, and that's it! it's low cost and easy to use, great for basic projects that just need one input and a colorful feedback output.

have a happy hannukah with a circuitpython menorah

we spent this evening updating this cute menorah project we've had for over a decade, from an Arduino UNO to run on a RP2040 QT Py board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4900) with our prototype "IoT Button BFF" board to increment through the nights. we used PaintYourDragons' LED candle flicker code from this halloween project (https://learn.adafruit.com/circuit-playground-jack-o-lantern) and sorta mixed it with Liz's NeoPixel menorah project from last year (https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-menorah). this project predates NeoPixels - all we had were WS2801's at the time! we think it looks pretty nice now, and its a lot more compact :) #Hanukkah #menorah #circuitpython 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/ -----------------------------------------

rp2040 programming an rp2040 ~ flash inception

we crank out a lot of rp2040 microcontroller boards and so we have to be able to program them very fast and very reliably. historically we used a teensy 3.6 to run our programmer+tester 'brains' - in particular we liked that it had USB host support and a microSD card slot so we could store the target UF2 and then burn it over the MSD interface. it's very hard to find teensy 3.6's and we ran out a few months ago. yet, we cannot let that stand in the way of us making new hardware! thanks to Thach's hard work, we have added USB host bitbang support to TinyUSB so that the RP2040 can pretend to have a second USB port and it works very well! check it out here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_TinyUSB_Arduino/tree/master/examples/DualRole if you want to play with USB host on a microcontroller that is available to purchase :) meanwhile, we'll be revising our testers to use the pico and our new almost-all-SMT brains board.

We really dig the portable / wearable elvie pumps (http://elvie.com/) for daily use. like other battery powered pumps, they need to be charged daily, sometimes multiple times! we like to keep them topped up all the time so that we don't have to worry about the battery conking out mid-pump. however, the micro USB charging port is really annoying, especially at 4 am! so we upgraded our set with these magnetic tip USB cables (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5520). the micro USB tips (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5523) go in each elvie, and then we can simply snap the cable in place without fiddling with the rubber gasket or cable orientation.
