The Great Search: MPR121 Capacitive Touch Sensor Replacement https://www.digikey.com/short/z23vtv Fellow Adafruit'er JP recently asked if there was a replacement for the much-loved but discontinued MPR121. Good question! Lets find out what the closest equivalent is!

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!

Folks love our PyPortal series, and we're working on making another version, this time with RGB matrix support instead of TFT for huge displays and clocks. The board plugs right in and is powered over USB C. Arduino or CircuitPython supported thanks to the new ProtoMatter library from PaintYourDragon. We tossed one of our favorite sensors, the ST LIS3DH on there as well - so make easy pixel dust projects!

We just got our 7-color E-Ink display from Waveshare and its really cool! There's python code for drawing bitmaps to the display from Python. We are looking to maybe make some projects with this kind of display. It seems to have the same exact 'pinout' as other E-Ink displays we've seen. There are 7 colors - white, black, red, orange, green, blue, purple and they're a little watercolor-y which is a nice effect.

This week's EYE on NPI is all about discovering new things - the Digilent Digital Discovery with High-speed adapter bundle (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/d/digilent/digital-discovery-with-high-speed-adapter-bundle). The Digilent Digital Discovery™ is a combined logic analyzer and pattern generator instrument that was created to be the ultimate embedded development companion. Digital Discovery was designed to optimize channels, speed, and portability. A small form factor facilitates easy storage and provides a whole suite of advanced features to allow you to debug, visualize, and simulate digital signals for most embedded projects. Digital inputs and outputs can be connected to a circuit using simple wire probes or breadboard wires; alternatively, the Digital Discovery High Speed Adapter and impedance-matched probes can be used to connect and utilize the inputs and outputs for more advanced projects. We're big fans of the affordable and powerful Digilent Analog Discovery (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4652) so when this logic-analyzer version popped up on https://digikey.com/new we snapped it up to check out. The specifications of what you get, for the price, are pretty amazing: 32-channel digital logic analyzer (1.2…3.3V CMOS, 8 channels at 800MS/s*, 16 channels at 400MS/s*, and 32 channels at 200MS/s) Digital Bus Analyzers (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, Parallel) 16-channel pattern generator (1.2…3.3V CMOS, 100MS/s) 16-channel virtual digital I/O including buttons, switches, and LEDs – perfect for logic training applications A programmable power supply of 1.2…3.3V/100mA. The same voltage supplies the Logic Analyzer input buffers and the Pattern Generator input/output buffers, for keeping the logic level compatibility with the circuit under test. In particular, 32 channels of 200 MS/s logic analyzer input is rare to see in a sub-$1000 logic analyzer. 8 channels of 800 MS/s is also incredible, if you need that kind of speed, it's very hard to find an affordable analyzer. The wide/fast rates means this analyzer would be great for analyzing wide 8/16/24/32 address/data busses that normally you wouldn't have enough pins for. You could also check on fast protocols that normally aren't logic-analyzer friendly like RGB matrix and parallel TFT displays. Inside is a Xilinx SPARTAN FPGA and some memory for buffering signals. Like many logic analyzers, the Digital Discovery connects over USB and uses free desktop software for communication. The software in this case is called Waveforms, and is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux including Raspberry Pi (https://store.digilentinc.com/waveforms-download-only/). The same software is used for the Analog Discovery, so if you've got one of those, it'll be familiar. The software is powerful and has a lot of options and capabilities, so we definitely recommend going through some of the tutorials available on Digilent's site, like this nice walk-through on analyzing an old-school NES controller - here's a hint, it uses a serial latch! (https://blog.digilentinc.com/nes-controller-digital-discovery-waveforms/). What I use logic analyzers for is usually decoding I2C and SPI transfers while writing drivers. So I was happy to see a range of built in analyzers such as I2C, UART, CAN, even HDMI! To test it out, I connected the analyzer up to a BNO080 sensor I'm working on. I enabled I2C datalogging on the two initial pins. You can see the data stream with decoded hex values and read/write flags on initial addresses. You can also open up the events tab to see the data as a list with timestamps. The event data (or even the raw pulses) can then be exported to a spreadsheet. There's also a powerful scripting system. You can perform analysis, read data and decode protocols. (https://blog.digilentinc.com/decoding-vga-on-the-digital-discovery/) There's also a logic waveform generator you can script as a simulator for devices. (https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/instrumentation/tutorials/hd44780_digital_discoverystart) We're pretty confident saying that for the price, this is the fastest, most powerful, capable and customizable logic analyzer you can get. And for students, it's super affordable and easy to store. Pair this up with an Analog Discovery for a full EE lab without giving up tons of desk space. Pick up a Digital Discovery from Digi-Key today at https://www.digikey.com/short/zfhz4r . You can pick up the version with high speed probe kit, or, if you aren't planning on using over 200 MS/s, the affordable basic version is at https://www.digikey.com/short/zfh997

Before we can start fabrication of a new design we need to design a tester - that way we can verify all the components and firmware are working they way they ought to. In this case, the Braincraft HAT https://www.adafruit.com/product/4374 has a TFT display, two microphones and two speaker outputs. We can use the speakers to test the mic's and vice versa by playing a sine wave through each speaker and then checking the sound level on the matching mic. We should see a big difference! the TFT is tested by having the text show up on it, and next up I'll add headphone jack and joystick tests. A quick but effective full-coverage test is essential to getting our high quality electronics out there. #adafruit #braincraft #machinelearning 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/ -----------------------------------------
