The Great Search - 8 ohm 0.25W, 2" diameter round speaker

This week, we have a request from someone working on a kit with an an audio output - they need to spec out an inexpensive speaker that will play the audio clips in their design and they had a few rough requirements they wanted to hit: the audio driving circuit they're using is 8 ohms 0.25 Watt, so the speaker cant have have a lower power rating or it will blow out. The size is about 2 inches diameter, and it needs to be a round speaker to fit into the PCB. Finally, the audio frequency range is not that wide, we just need to play tones that are about 600 Hz.

The Desk of Ladyada - Pocket VNA, Crystals and Minerals and Blood moon

There's a full lunar eclipse tonight that you'll be able to see if you're in the eastern half of N America or in S America (https://moon.nasa.gov/news/172/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-lunar-eclipse/) if it isn't cloudy, go outside and look up! Or watch NASA's livestream. We also went to the NJ Rock, Gem, Mineral and Fossil show (https://nj.show/) yesterday with some Fruit Friends and picked up some really sweet gems - we'll show those off live under the overhead. Finally, we pulled out our pocket VNA we ordered many years ago to try it out - Once calibrated, you can use it to check antenna responsivity, we're also going to try to learn how to use it to tune our pi networks for boards where we DIY the RF section instead of using a module.

EYE on NPI - NXP P3S0200GM I3C Switch with Hardware Select and Enable

This week's EYE ON NPI has an extra I bonus feature - we're featuring the NXP P3S0200GM I3C Switch with Hardware Select and Enable. (https://www.digikey.com/short/td77904f) You might be thinking we made a typo there, as you may be familiar with I2C but have you heard of I3C? Yep, that's three I's for ya, and you'll probably start seeing more sensors, devices and microcontrollers that support I3C which is an extension of I2C with many improvements. I2C is a sensor interface you are probably well familiar with, just about every microcontroller has I2C hardware support, and about half of peripheral devices and sensors use I2C for data transfer or configuration. I2C is easy to wire up: you only need two data lines. It's a fairly simple overall communication system: each devices has a 7-bit address, with 1 bit for read/write commands, then data is sent after. You can put multiple devices on one I2C bus as long as the addresses don't collide, (https://learn.adafruit.com/i2c-addresses) great for low-pin-count setups or chaining. And, hey did you know that NXP invented I2C? Philips, which then became NXP, originally published version 1.0 the I2C specification in 1992 in app note UM10204 (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf) - and because it was a well-written, open, and royalty/license-free standard, the entire industry joined in. But, there are a few things about I2C that can drive folks a little batty. First up is the speed limitations. I2C uses pull-ups for raising the voltage on the 'open drain' connections, but it takes time to charge and drain the capacitance of lines and gate inputs through a resistor. I3C does not use external resistors, instead there's an active pull-up that transitions between Open-Drain and Push-Pull mode. (https://www.mipi.org/node/2604) This reduces power usage and allows I3C to run at a spicy 12MHz, well in line with SPI speeds. Next up, there's bus contention - woe is the engineer who has to deal with clock stretching on a bus, or missed clocks. I3C thankfully does not permit clock stretching! (https://www.mipi.org/node/1247) peripherals cannot take control of the clock by keeping it pulled down. Instead all devices must respect the clock. "But!" you are saying "what if I'm designing a peripheral and over I3C we get a sensor wakeup or read request, and I'm not ready to immediately answer in time?" Normally you'd have to have to either use polling for a data-ready bit (yuck, uses a lot of power, bandwidth and time) or you can use an IRQ pin. But if you're using IRQ pins then you've just lost the benefits of having a shared 2-wire bus! Well there's another nifty capability in I3C for in-band interruption management where the controller can hand off the bus to peripherals to notify when they are ready to be listened to. There's a great document from NXP showing the high and low level implementation / trace details of I3C vs I2C that we recommend you check out here (https://community.nxp.com/pwmxy87654/attachments/pwmxy87654/tech-days/256/1/AMF-DES-T2686.pdf) As you start adding I3C controllers and targets into your embedded systems, you may still find yourself dealing with address collisions, or maybe you want to have two controllers connect to one peripheral. Since I3C has a stricter timing requirement for dealing with the high speeds it can perform at, you'll want a switching chip that is designed for I3C. That's where the NXP P3S0200GM I3C Switch will come to your rescue. (https://www.digikey.com/short/td77904f) It's from NXP who helped bring I3C to market so you know it's going to work exactly as the specification intends and will also be back-compatible with I2C devices. And, best of all, the NXP P3S0200GM I3C Switch (https://www.digikey.com/short/td77904f) is in stock now for immediate shipment from Digi-Key, perfect for placement into your next design. Even if you're only using I2C right now, you'll be future-proof ready for when sensor and chip revisions start coming out with I3C support. Order today and you'll be switchin' by tomorrow afternoon.

The Great Search - 24-bit PGA + Differential ADC (NAU7802 Replacement)

We are working on getting our NAU7802 Stemma QT breakout into the shop - this is a 24-bit ADC with differential input support, and programmable gain for quick interfacing to strain gauges and other Wheatstone bridge-like sensors. Great news is we got a shipment for our order from Digi-Key, but they're out of stock again with a long lead time. Let's find an alternative ADC for folks who want to measure similar small-signal sensors!

Testing out the CircuitPython Azure library

We have some fun Azure for IoT projects coming up, but before we get to them, we wanted to test out the CircuitPython AzureIot library over at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_AzureIoT with the new-ish ESP32-S2 TFT Feather. We set up a new device type that would report temperature, humidity, pressure and battery percentage. Then we provisioned a new device and adapted the example to report data from a connected BME280. There's a small fix we need to make to the NTP library to support raw sockets on native wifi devices but otherwise it works very well!

The Desk of Ladyada - Sample Sunday & a NAU7802 tester start

This week we did a lot of sample testing! First up is this cool conductive rubber sheet. We sell conductive rubber cord, but we had a recommendation to get some 2D shapes as well. This material is easy to cut and has some changing resistance with movement. We also got a motorized potentiometer sample, which is super fun - we're using a simple H-bridge to send the 10K slider back and forth. Finally we're working on our NAU7802 tester, since our order of NAU7802 chips finally came in. This is a load cell amp chip that has I2C interfacing, but really it's for any precision wheatstone-bridge-like things.

Motorized potentiometer goes back and forth and back and forth

we got a motorized pot sample in and wanted to test it out. this is a 10K linear slide pot with a small 5V motor on the bottom that has a small belt to move the slider automatically. some very fancy a/v boards use these so you can quick change presets. we're testing the motor movement with a DRV8830 STEMMA QT breakout we designed before covid and then sorta got distracted from. the pots are on order now, and we'll also try to release this lil breakout! #motorized #pot #adafruit 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/ -----------------------------------------

EYE ON NPI - Taoglas Wide Band Antennas featuring WARRIORX PA.760.A

This week's EYE ON NPI lifts up its skinny arms like antennas to heaven - it's the Taoglas family of Wide Band Antennas, featuring the Taoglas WARRIORX PA.760.A (https://www.digikey.com/short/td8wnqd2) with a chonky 600MHz-6000MHz range of functionality, for use with almost any kind of IoT wireless protocol. Wide band antennas are needed these days because we've moved from simple cellular devices like 2G/GSM that use at most a 'quad band' of 850/900/1800/1900MHz (which you'll note has two narrow bands that are 2x the frequency) in order to cover the globe, to multi-band and multi-protocol modules. If you have something with LTE which has close to 100 different bands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands) that span from 700 MHz up to 2.6GHz (https://www.sqimway.com/lte_band.php) depending on the LTE Category they cover. Lower categories carry data slower like simple machine IoT signals but farther, higher categories carry faster data like video but cant reach very far. You could also use this sort of antenna for multi-protocol IoT devices. Lets say you have a horse farm in Ireland (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=irish+horse+farm) you want to monitor. You've got 50 horses, roaming your property. You want to know their location so you can locate them, maybe some details like their temperature and recent activity (e.g. an accelerometer). Since you're a ways out from the city, you may want to use a combination of WiFi if they are within a couple miles of the farm, cellular if they're a few miles away but still within LTE Cat 1M range, and LoRaWan if they're a good ways out. (In this particular case we aren't outfitting the horses with satellite connectivity). WiFi is free, LTE is fairly inexpensive but reliable if within range, LoRaWan is lower reliability but can be used in a meshing setup. Each one has a different frequency band: 2.4GHz for WiFi, maybe 1.9GHz for LTE, and 900MHz for LoRa. Let's say you invent such a thing, and now horse lovers around the world are clamoring, nay, DEMANDING you sell them your ingenious invention. With GSM, you can easily deploy worldwide with a single design. But with LTE you'll need to make sure each country you ship to can support the cellular module you've chosen. You may end up swapping similar-package-but-different-frequency-band modules for Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, etc. However, you can stick with that same Taoglas antenna! These antennas are SMT, pick-and-place friendly, so you can use them in plastic enclosures without knobbly external antennas that catch on things. This allows for very slim, compact designs like this Taoglas EDGE module (https://www.taoglas.com/product/ec55-system-on-module/) or waterproof/weatherproof cases. Picking the right antenna will get you better battery life, better range, and faster response times for 'free', so its important to give one with the best gain you can get. Best of all, the full range of different Taoglas antennas, including the Taoglas WARRIORX PA.760.A (https://www.digikey.com/short/td8wnqd2), are available on Digi-Key for immediate shipment. Order today and you can be blasting with a bandwidth wider than a horse's butt by tomorrow afternoon!

USB C to DC barrel jacks...with USB PD voltage selection!

We got a few samples of these very nifty USB C cables - there's a Type C plug on one end and a DC 2.5mm/2.1mm on the other. On the plug is etched a voltage and current range. inside is a USB C PD chip that negotiates to try and get the selected voltage and current out of a USB C power plug with Power Delivery management, and it works! we got 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V cables and tested it with our 3A test load and the cables had almost no drop. these could be super handy for getting significant power from USB C without having to do the noodling of programming or configuring a PD chip. coming soon to the adafruit shop!
