The Great Search is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week: Today we were working on an all-in-one CAN bus Feather. CAN bus is a protocol with a hardware signalling layer that is specified for 5V logic, and there's a 120 ohm termination resistor. This means we will need at least 50mA for the signalling control. Let's find a DC/DC converter that will get us a nice clean 5V with minimal cost and complexity on Digi-Key!

Using the plug-in MatrixPortal board we just released last week, we were able to make a sign that we brought to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial vigil in NYC. The code displays three initials and then scrolls through an image of the Justice. We used the matrix magnetic feet to temporarily attach it to PT's bag, it was solid but easy to remove at the end of the night.

This weeks EYE ON NPI gets REAL with the Intel RealSense LIDAR camera. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/intel/lidar-depth-camera-l515) This surprisingly powerful camera is easy to use and has both color and LIDAR depth output data. This makes it perfect for use in robotics, interactive art, 3D scanning...all sorts of projects where spatial sensing is required. It was announced in 2019 but didn't start shipping until a few months ago. Almost 10 years ago, Adafruit sponsored a Kinect-hacking bounty (https://blog.adafruit.com/2010/11/10/we-have-a-winner-open-kinect-drivers-released-winner-will-use-3k-for-more-hacking-plus-an-additional-2k-goes-to-the-eff/) to take an off-the-shelf video game accessory and turn it into a tool for anyone to use. The open source cross-platform drivers spawned hundreds of awesome projects, from the scientific and artistic, to the humanist and just plain silly (https://blog.adafruit.com/category/kinect-hacking/). With the Kinect discontinued (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect), it's been a challenge to find a low cost alternative with an easy API. Until now! This little sensor is smaller than a tuna can and is a complete system with plug-and-play USB type C port for power and data. There's even an BMI085 IMU inside! (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bosch-sensortec/BMI085/828-1083-1-ND/8634943) Intel RealSense's L515 is a type of solid state LiDAR technology-based depth camera. It uses LiDAR technology to scan a full scene allowing it to provide a point cloud with up to 23 million points of accurate depth data per second. It delivers consistent high depth accuracy throughout the supported range of the camera starting at 25 cm up to 9 meters. The accuracy of the L515 within its operational range is less than 20 mm Z error at maximum range. With an internal vision processor, L515 achieves motion blur artifact reduction by an exposure time of less than 100 ns (nanoseconds), ideal for capturing rapidly moving objects with minimal motion blur. Additionally, the 4 ms photon to depth latency allows real-time applications such as autonomous navigation. An RGB camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer round out the capabilities of the device for high-quality performance and use case flexibility. Smaller than a tennis ball, the Intel RealSense LiDAR Camera L515 has a diameter of 61 mm and is 26 mm in height. Weighing in at around 100 g (3.5 oz), it is designed to be easily situated on any prototype or attached to a tablet or phone for use in handheld room scanning or volumetric measurement applications. The L515 uses the same open source Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 as all other current-generation Intel RealSense Depth Cameras, which is platform independent, supporting Windows, Linux®, Android™, and macOS. This includes wrappers for many common platforms, languages and engines, including Python, ROS, C/C++, C#, Unity, Unreal, OpenNI, and NodeJS, with more being added constantly. Features Depth FOV (field of view): (H × V) 70°±2° x 55°±2° Depth resolution: Up to 1024 x 768 depth resolution (XGA resolution) Depth frame rate: 30 frames per second RGB frame rate: 30 frames per second RGB resolution: Up to 1920 x 1080 RGB resolution RGB FOV: (H x V) 70° ±3° x 43° ±2° Use environment: Indoor Inertial measurement unit: Bosch BMI085 Range: From 25 cm to 9 m range Connection type: USB-C® 3.1 gen 1 connection Dimensions: 61 mm diameter x 26 mm height Mounting: Two M3 x 0.5 mounting points and one 1/4 20 UNC thread mounting point It shows up in a few ways when you plug it into your computer. For integration into projects that use OpenCV or other camera-based inputs, you will see a dual UVC camera one called 'Depth' which is the LIDAR and one called 'RGB' which is a regular camera that you can overlay over the depth data. The Cameras are really high res, as well - 1024x768 depth resolution and 1920 x 1080 RGB resolution. Compare that to the Kinect's 640x480! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect) We like that this sensor has industrial-quality sensing with engineer-and-maker-friendly development. No NDAs for datasheets, no signups for code - everything needed to get set up was shockingly convenient. (https://www.intelrealsense.com/get-started/) There's even a developer center (https://www.intelrealsense.com/developers/) with firmware upgrades, documentation, code samples, and a community group. There's a lot of support, so we think this is a great option for low cost depth sensing - a really fabulous NPI! Interested? Of course, you are! Pick up an Intel RealSense camera from Digi-Key today, it's part number 2311-82638L515G1PRQ-ND, and you can have it ready for your next amazing project tomorrow morning! (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/intel-realsense/82638L515G1PRQ/2311-82638L515G1PRQ-ND/11688015)

Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-led-necklace-insert-with-usb-charging/overview Sometimes you want to add animated lights to your costume or project and you're really limited on space. Necklaces are a great example of this - a glowing pendant can be so striking, but if it's too big and bulky it can cross the line to "gaudy" pretty quickly. This tutorial aims to make the smallest possible NeoPixel module or insert for your project. We've worked to make it super small, at around 1/2" thick and about 2" across. This tiny package still contains all the niceties: 7-12 addressable NeoPixel lights A compact on/off switch A rechargeable battery with 4+ hours of battery life Onboard USB charging capability We're using an Itsy Bitsy M0 microcontroller, which can be programmed with CircuitPython, MakeCode or Arduino, so you've got lots of options, and we've included an easy-to-customize code sample as well.

This week's EYE on NPI brings you Analog Devices' ADT7422 ultra-high accuracy and precision temperature sensor. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/analog-devices/adt7422-01-c-accurate-digital-temperature-sensor) With an astonishing ±0.1°C rated accuracy, you can use this sensor for real-time, calibration-free temperature sensing. A built-in I2C ADC interface provides 16-bit data, so you could use this sensor with any microcontroller or microprocessor and get 0.0078 °C resolution. And you can have up to 4 of these sensors on a single I2C bus by changing the I2C address pins A0/A1. ADT7422 is ADI's first ±0.1°C accurate temperature sensor that doesn't require any external circuitry for operation. It can easily replace more complex and expensive solutions that use alternative sensor technologies such as thermistors or RTDs. In addition, high-precision silicon sensors (ICs) are preferred options for a range of emerging applications in the healthcare market such as vital signs monitoring instruments for clinical and home use. Features ±0.1°C accuracy specification enables the end product to measure temperature with accuracy that was only possible for thermistors and RTDs Doesn't require external circuitry: smaller, lower power, and lower cost than older sensing technologies Fully tested and calibrated solution: doesn't require system calibration to achieve desired ±0.1°C measurement precision The highest accuracy of ±0.1°C comes is achievable between 25°C ~ 50°C. From −20°C to +105°C the accuracy is ±0.25°C and from −40°C to +125°C its ±0.50°C. For high temperature ranges, such as for use with scientific or food processes, you probably want to go with a PT100/PT1000 RTD sensor interface (https://www.analog.com/en/applications/technology/precision-sensor-interface/temperature-sensing/rtd.html) - for example verifying the temperature of a yogurt processing system, or a chemical heater. These sensors are more tuned towards human/bio measurement - for example a long-term temperature/health monitor that uses skin temperature, implanted glucose monitor, or an incubator - all places where you want very high accuracy! Interfacing with the chip is really simple, in fact we were able to borrow a lot of code from the ADT7410 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4089) library we wrote a year ago (https://github.com/adafruit?q=adt7410&type=&language=) and read out the temperature in both C and Python. Analog Devices also has 'pure C' drivers available on GitHub (https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS/tree/master/drivers/temperature/adt7420) We picked up one of Analog Device's dev boards. You can see a few interesting details like PCB slots to help keep the chip thermally isolated. There's also an Arduino-compatible Eval shield (https://www.analog.com/media/en/dsp-documentation/evaluation-kit-manuals/dc2026cfe.pdf) you can use to plug and play this sensor, but we found it works perfectly fine with plain 0.1" jumpers, just make sure you're giving it 3.3V for power! Add tiny, accurate temperature sensing today by picking up an ADT7422 from Digi-Key, available in cut-tape & reel, by visiting https://www.digikey.com/short/zf0d21 Your order will ship same day and you can get it in hand the next morning!

The Great Search is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week: Let's find an accelerometer for our next project, using Digi-Key! I2C or SPI? Analog or Digital? Range and bandwidth, we'll chat about these while we search for a nice sensor to include in some future designs. We'll also check out an interesting capability for extra-deep-dives - the downloadable table export!

The BNO080 all-in-one 9 DoF IMU board is pretty nice - it can output accel/mag/gyro data as well as fuse sensor data together to give you Euler or quaternion orientation vectors. This sensor also has I2C, SPI and UART interfacing. UART means you can plug it into an FTDI cable directly and then run our BNO08x library to read the sensor data directly from a computer running Python! #adafruit #BNO080 #9dof 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/ -----------------------------------------
