EYE on NPI - CUI CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR I2S Microphone

Mmm-mm we like the sound of this new microphone from CUI Devices - the new CMM-4030D-261-I2S (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR/2223-CMM-4030D-261-I2S-CT-ND/13404679?itemSeq=343478410) That part number is quite a mouthful, but also pretty descriptive since 4030 is the size of the mic (4x3mm) and I2S is the interface it uses for audio. The reason we picked this for EYE on NPI? It's the only top-ported I2S microphone available on Digi-Key and we've been looking for one for a while! If you've ever designed a product with a microphone input you know you basically have two choices - good ol' electret microphones (https://www.adafruit.com/?q=electret&sort=BestMatch) or MEMS-based mics. (https://www.cuidevices.com/blog/analog-or-digital-how-to-choose-the-right-mems-microphone-interface). Electrets have been around for decades, are very inexpensive and easy to use. However, they have a few big downsides - one is you can't SMT reflow them (or at least, not any of the low cost one's we've ever seen or used) - they must be hand/selective/wave soldered instead. Two, they are analog output and need an amplifier. The amplifier is not a big deal, but if you want to have digital input into your chip, single board computer, or FPGA, you need to then get a separate I2S audio converter chip (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/interface-codecs/716). Either way, if you're trying to avoid non-SMT assembly steps, that low cost electret isn't as low cost anymore! OK so next you look at MEMS mics - created by measuring the capacitance change in a MEMS diaphragm when sound pushes it towards a matching plate. (https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/micromachines/micromachines-09-00323/article_deploy/micromachines-09-00323.pdf) Because they are solid state, you can pick and place and SMT reflow them for easy manufacture. They're also much smaller and thinner than electrets, so they're great for making tight builds. So, problem number one is solved! And, unlike electrets, you can get them with three different output options: analog, PDM and I2S (https://www.cuidevices.com/catalog/audio/microphones/mems-microphones) Analog is the earliest and simplest - the capacitance change in the MEMS transducer is converted to a small analog value and piped out one of the pins. (https://www.cuidevices.com/product-spotlight/mems-microphones#5) You still need to amplify it, but any op-amp will do the job. Pro: cheap, simple, great if you have an analog input, can replace electret analog circuits. Cons: Need an extra op-amp and passives, analog input. Next up is PDM output - which is a weird semi-analog digital signal. Like PWM, if you were to low-pass filter PDM, you'd get an analog signal, but you get the benefit of clock-synced output. And it's really simple with only two pins needed for stereo microphone in (one has data on falling clock, one on rising). You do need to do heavy filtering to get rid of the square wave 'carrier' but that's often handled within the PDM peripheral on your chip - at worst you can sorta treat it like an SPI device at 1 MHz and perform the filtering yourself in code. (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ZeroPDM) Pros: cheap, fairly simple if you have a PDM peripheral on your chip. Cons: You need that special peripheral! So finally we get to I2S, which was how we got here in the first place! I2S microphones have a true I2S interface, so they work with many more chips including existing codecs that expect I2S inputs. For example, Raspberry Pi computers and other Single Board Linux computers often don't have PDM inputs, but they do have I2S! So you can wire this microphone directly to a Pi. (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-i2s-mems-microphone-breakout/overview) Also many other chips, even if they don't have PDM or you don't want to use analog, will have solid I2S support. Only downside is that, at least for now, I2S mics are more expensive than PDM or analog - but they may be cheaper than analog mics + a codec or ADC! And they're definitely small so if you want to have a very compact build, they're great. Like we mentioned at the beginning, this is the first top-ported I2S microphone we've seen, so we're happy we can pick one up to use in a future design. Digi-Key has a bunch of CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR in stock right now (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR/2223-CMM-4030D-261-I2S-CT-ND/13404679?itemSeq=343478410), you can order tonight and have it by tomorrow morning, save yourself some time by downloading the CAD footprint from SnapEDA (https://www.snapeda.com/parts/CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR/CUI%20Devices/view-part/?ref=digikey) while you wait for the package to be delivered!

EYE on NPI - Panasonic SN-GCJA5 particulate sensor

This week's EYE on NPI is particularly useful for folks who care about air quality - it's the new SN-GCJA5 particulate sensor from Panasonic (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/panasonic/sn-gc-series-laser-type-pm-sensor)! This compact sensor uses a laser diode to measure light scattering caused by small inhalable particles in the air. It's great for measuring the dustiness of the air - such as that caused by smog or smoke. Especially useful for both home and industry - if you live or work near a high-risk fire zone you know how useful this is for telling you if a filtration mask is needed. Panasonic's laser type PM sensor is an addition to its already broad range of specialty sensor solutions. It is comprised of an on-board microprocessor, micro-fan, and laser diode. This sensor has been programmed so that the fan will operate based on the amount of particle dust surrounding the laser diode so that overall lifespan or usefulness of the sensor can be extended much longer than its average commercially available equivalent. Featuring a very small footprint of 37 mm x 37 mm x 12 mm, the Panasonic laser type PM sensor can be used to detect a wide variety of PM including, but not limited to, dust, fly ash, soot, smoke, aerosols, fumes, mists and condensing vapors, solid fuels, construction materials, cooking/smoking of plant matter, fireplaces and furnaces, house/forest fires, waste incineration, and much more. A few things make this sensor stand out in a popular market. One is a dual-interface connector that supports both I2C and UART. The UART data comes in as plain text at 9600 baud, so it's easy to parse. The I2C interface means it's easy to use with boards that don't have a spare hardware UART. Only thing to watch for is that the power is 5V as there's a little fan inside that needs extra power, and the logic level is 3V so a shifter or booster may be required. For quick testing, you can wire up a USB to Serial console cable (https://www.adafruit.com/product/954). We can use the included Windows program to quickly get data from the COM port and display it. The version of the sensor we picked up even came with a cable for easy plugging. We used some solder fumes from a handy iron to trigger the sensor into reporting a smoggy environment. You can order this nice new sensor from Digi-Key, they're a big distributor of all things Panasonic from batteries to capacitors. Hey, we even have a video we did with them a year ago you can watch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02PthE9DJxI) Note there's two versions, we recommend the one with the cable but you can get your own cable made to match, the connector is a JST SM05B-GHS (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/SM05B-GHS-TB-LF-SN/807789). Either way the price is very competitive, so you can add a particulate sensor for under $20 in quantity. Pick up a SN-GCJA5L sensor today to try out how elegant & easy it is to use!

DESK OF LADYADA - STEMMA Sunday + Low Power Evening - The Great Search: Ultra low quiescent 3.3V reg

Every Sunday we work on a new STEMMA QT board - this week we made one for the MCP9601 - an I2C capable thermocouple sensor. This is one of the only I2C thermocouple AFE's we've seen, and we've already got a library for the earlier MCP9600. (The MCP9601 adds open-thermocouple detection!) We also worked on the Feather M4 CAN - with Arduino and CircuitPython support nearly wrapped, its time to finish the hardware. We have a few changes we made to reduce the power draw and got down to 250uA in sleep mode....but could we go lower? The Great Search: Ultra low quiescent 3.3V regulator https://www.digikey.com/short/zdhjqf To make our new Feather design low power friendly, we're going on a hunt for a replacement of the AP2112-K 3.3V regulator.

Hallowing Bat with Flapping Wings & Creepy Eye

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/hallowing-flapping-bat/overview Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a teatray in the sky. The Mad Hatter Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol Make a spooky bat out of chipboard and decorate it with your best Halloween colors, sparkles, and ribbons. A little hot glue and crafting, and you're ready to hang it above your door, where unwary passers-by will brush past and trigger your bats wings to flap up and down, scaring them out of their pants! You don't need a fancy motion sensor to trigger this halloween effect. The bat wings are triggered by a strand of conductive thread tied to the Hallowing's onboard capacitive touch sensor. Anyone who comes in contact with the secret dangling thread will cause the bat to leap into motion. The Hallowing board is the spookiest, creepiest, scariest microcontroller around. Its skull face and winking OLED eye are sure to frighten even the bravest of makers when you program it to go Bump in the Night.

Sew a Halloween Costume Face Mask

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/halloween-costume-face-mask/overview Halloween is such a fun holiday, and traditionally includes mask-wearing to complete your costume. This year, face masks have been a daily fashion choice for many of us, so here's a guide that focuses on making that face mask a little extra special for the spookiest day of the year. Use colored felt to add a bird beak or monkey face to any face mask. Or create a "plague-doctor" style mask from scratch to bring a bit of historical authenticity to your costume this year. We've included printable patterns and sewing directions. You'll need fabric and interfacing or craft felt, scissors, pins, and a sewing machine (or a needle and thread and some patience).

DESK OF LADYADA - STEMMA Sunday + EInk Evening, M.2 "E Key" Connectors

We made a new STEMMA board this week, thanks to a special request we got online - this one is for Wii Nunchuks! We also spent more time with various E-Ink displays to add more support for grayscale mode in monochrome and tricolor (!) displays - we had to do a big refactor of our Arduino EPD library to allow so many new display configurations!
