This week's EYE ON NPI is hittin' the books - we're featuring the Digi-Key Electronics Innovation Handbook (https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook) this week - which was just released so it's very New and Fresh. We just got ours in the mail! The Digi-Key Innovation Handbook is your guide to keeping some of the most highly referenced content from Digi-Key at your fingertips while giving you plenty of room to keep your thoughts, projects, and ideas at hand. We highlight concepts, formulas, components and electronic staples so you can refer to them at any time. From reference tables and schematic symbols to resistors through Raspberry Pi’s the Innovation Handbook is the first place to look for all your project needs. It also includes over 120 grid-lined note pages for you to use any way you see fit. Of course, we couldn’t fit it all in the book so below you will find additional information to go more in-depth into each of the topics included in the printed edition. This book is reminiscent of the Maker Notebook that Make Magazine released many years ago (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/o-reilly-media/9781680456639/13625835). Its still a great notebook, and has a hard cover which we love - so you have reason to buy both! The Innovation Notebook has some overlapping information, but is much more up to date. For example, it's got modern board pinouts like Feather, Teensy and Raspberry Pi. There's even the new RP2040 Pico! The resistor diagram is in full color (which really helps since the number bands are rainbowy). There's also a lot of reference parts - so if you just need "a servo" or "an SMD red LED" there's part numbers ready to go for you to reference. I'm a huge fan of that because there's definitely the most popular of each part, and for many makers and beginners, they should just get that part rather than spending a lot of time in the Digi-Key search system. In the front, there's 40 pages of references and diagrams, and then there's 120 gridded pages, so it's definitely designed to be a scientific/design notebook, not just a technical reference. Right now it's V1.0 of the book, and there's probably a lot more stuff that they could add or improve. Please feel free to send comments, thoughts and future recommendations to [email protected] to help make sure the next edition is even better. This notebook makes for an excellent gift for any student or maker, and at a great price. If you've got a cart going at Digi-Key, you can add one of these in - there's hundreds of Innovation Notebooks in stock right now (https://www.digikey.com/short/mf58fmj8) and at least books aren't impacted by the component shortage! If you want to check out the PDFs or other engineering resources, visit https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook for online tools, calculators, printouts and more.

Designing hardware during the parts shortage is really challenging - you need to spec parts but there's now a risk you won't be able to get it. Historically this maybe meant a delay of a few weeks or at worst, months. Now some parts are delayed 2 years! We're revising some designs we were about to launch with 'flip flop' designs - where we lay out two alternative packages. We don't know the official name for this technique, we borrowed it from fixies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_hub Let's take a look at how we picked the packages and how we laid out the design to accommodate 'em.

NYC Pride 2021 #pride

Ahh it's summer time, and we're slowly getting through a bunch of redesigns we need to do to manage the parts shortage. It's also been really nice out - this weekend was NYC Pride! We launched the MacroPad that we've previewed here. Let's look at what we're routing, and also some stuff we got in the mail.

We've been using the IS31FL3731 for a while to do monochromatic LED driving/dimming. But for RGB LED driving, we need moar channels! So we're trying out the IS31FL3741, which can handle an astonishing 351 individually-dimmable LEDs in 39x9 matrix. Divide by three for RGB LEDs, and you've got a 13x9 24-bit color display, all controllable over I2C!

This week's EYE ON NPI is super-brainy but also good looking (or maybe it's good at looking) - the Intel RealSense Camera Depth module (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/intel-realsense/id-solution-f450-f455) is ready for embedding in your product to add instant facial recognition with excellent quality hardware and software from Intel. Long-time viewers of EYE ON NPI know that we're suckers for sensors and edge computing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_computing) AI products - devices with machine learning capabilities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning) that can function without the use of Cloud Computing or internet connectivity. Why? 1) More security controls: if it can't connect to the internet, you don't have to worry about data being used elsewhere by people who aren't supposed to have it 2) More privacy controls: if it can't connect to the internet, you don't have to worry about data being used elsewhere by the people who are supposed to have it but maybe are planning on selling it or misusing it 3) Installation and usage flexibility: can install it in places without good network connectivity, don't have to worry about a Verizon outage taking your product down. There's also other important parameters that may be improved by edge computing: lower power, smaller PCB, lower cost, no subscription fees. All good stuff! This platform is available in two packages: one is a slick USB-connected rectangle (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/intel-realsense/82635DSF455/13670508) that can be mounted with a 'camera tripod' 1/4-20 screw, and one that's a bare PCB with a FPC connector (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/intel-realsense/82635DSF450/13670511). That's really neat in our opinion because it means you can use this technology with an every-day computer by plugging it into a USB port or doing a full integration into your product design. We picked up one of each. Of course, if you're just getting started, you may want to go with the all-enclosed one since its so easy to get going. We downloaded the Windows enrolling software (you can also enroll via the API, but this is a nice app) and updated the firmware. Then we practiced enrolling. Enrolling a face is always going to be a little annoying because it really needs to get good data. You really want to be close up, and have your head straight-on to the camera. It took a few tries, however once done it worked great during detection even when far away. We previous covered RealSense on EYE ON NPI, but that was with a LIDAR camera. (https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/09/17/eye-on-npi-intel-realsense-lidar-camera-eyeonnpi-lidar-digikey-digikey-intel-adafruit/) This uses two every-day cameras to do depth calculation, so it's a lot cheaper and smaller. The module is only a few mm thick! The thing that really sold us on this module is the simplicity of usage - once you've got people enrolled, everything is done through a serial port/UART. That makes it incredibly easy to integrate into any kind of system - from a microcontroller to a single board Linux computer to a desktop running MacOS. And there's a full API for RealSense (https://github.com/IntelRealSense/RealSenseID) on the Intel GitHub repo (https://github.com/IntelRealSense). The 54-pin FPC connector on the module exposes pretty much everything on the PCB assembly. Best of all, the price of the full products is really low - it would be hard to DIY your own solution for less than the $87 each module costs. And with the heavy lifting of the face recognition done completely on this device, you can reduce the complexity of the rest of your design. Like, literally you could integrate this into your design in less than a week. Both the Intel RealSense F455 starter kit (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/intel-realsense/82635DSF455/13670508) and the bare bones Intel RealSense F450 PCB (https://www.digikey.com/short/v9pw7nq5) are available and in stock right now at Digi-Key! Order today and add solid, dependable, secure face-recognition to your product by tomorrow afternoon.

USB controllable panel mount and tower-light samples What can we say, we like tower lights and other notification systems. But they're often 12V and require a controller. These alerts are panel-mount friendly AND come with a USB cable for power and data. When plugged into a computer or Raspberry Pi they appear as a serial port. Send bytes over to turn on the red, yellow or green LEDs, the tower lamp also has a loud buzzer which we only turned on for 100ms because its SUPER LOUD and we don't want to annoy anyone around :) #usb #python #raspberrypi 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/ -----------------------------------------

Dan just dropped a new PR with our event-based key switch vector/matrix handling all done in the CircuitPython core https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/4891 which will make keyboard projects a lot easier and a TON faster. Matrix/vector scanning is now done in a background interrupt and can handle all the work for you and emit key press/release events. Here I've got it with my 5x6 snap-apart ortho matrix keyboard PCB, which has 30 keys - 5 rows and 6 columns in a diode matrix.

In this tutorial I walk through creating a curvy rectangular shape using the spline tool in Fusion 360. I show how to use symmetrical and equal sketch constraints to create a shape thats flexible and parametric. Whenever one side of the shape is effect, the other side is perfectly mirrored. One corner of the shape features a bezier handle with a sketch dimension (length and angle) making it easy to adjust a single corner and automatically update the other three. This technique was used in an upcoming project that uses spline curves to create a kitty paw shape. I personally have found the spline tool one of the more trickier to tame and this project has brought me more understanding of how to better manipulate and control splines in fusion 360. 3D Printing Projects Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOWD2dJNRIN46uhMCWvNOlbG 3D Hangout Show Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOVgpmWevin2slopw_A3-A8Y Layer by Layer CAD Tutorials Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOVsMp6nKnpjsXSQ45nxfORb Timelapse Tuesday Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOVagy3CktXsAAs4b153xpp_ Milling Monday https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOVL48weqeHiu7aw-_sPhCSA 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/ -----------------------------------------

This week we've got a few things we've been hacking on. We tested out jepler's ESP32S2 camera support in CircuitPython. It works really well! Now that we have OV7670 and OV2640 camera modules supported we can move on to designing some hardware. We also wrote up a ISSI IS31FL374x (https://www.digikey.com/short/8q0nmn25) driver which is a more powerful version of the IS31FL3731 chips what we've used for our charlieplex wings. This driver can handle 160 independent RGB LEDs with constant-current adjustment and 8-bit PWM per LED. We would use these for boards that have more than ~50 NeoPixels/Dotstars because 'smart' LEDs are about 10 cents each on reel. The Great Search - Non-Addressable SMT RGB LED https://www.digikey.com/short/vf2hvqtv We sure love smart addressable LEDs here at Adafruit - like NeoPixels (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?s=N4IgTCBcDaIHYFMD2AHAlgDwQGxAXQF8g0 and DotStars (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?s=N4IgTCBcDaICYHsAuBnJBDATiAugXyA) But our new project is going to use the IS31FL3741 (https://www.digikey.com/short/8q0nmn25) driver to control a large quantity of RGB LEDs.
