John Park's Virtually Maker Faire talk 3:30pm Pacific May 23rd, 2020

This week's EYE on NPI is on a super super fresh NPI that we're excited about - the ST VL53L3CX (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/vl53l3cx-time-of-flight-ranging-sensor) which is the latest version of the 'micro-LIDAR' sensors from ST. Starting with the VL6180X, and continuing to the VL53L0X and VL53L1X, these sensors are really amazing - they have a tiny laser that emits light and is bounced off nearby objects to determine the distance. The sensor has extra-ordinary timing sensing so it can measure the 'time of flight' between the photos emitted by the laser, and when it arrives bounced back. Thus, they are called "Time of Flight / ToF" sensors. VL53L3CX ToF product from STMicroelectronics embeds ST’s third-generation FlightSense patented technology. It combines a high-performance proximity and ranging sensor with multi-target distance measurements and automatic smudge correction. The miniature reflowable package integrates a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array and physical infrared filters to achieve the best ranging performance in various ambient lighting conditions, with a wide range of cover glass windows. There's a lot of ways to measure distance - often folks use IR sensors, these bounce Infrared LED light off an object and measure the amount of light detected. These are really inexpensive and simple to use - you just need an analog reading of the phototransistor voltage, but have a few downsides: the readings are not precise distances, the sensor often have short ranges (usually maxing out at 150cm), and the color and reflectivity of the sensed object affects readings. Darker objects absorb more of the IR so seem to be 'farther', this can cause frustration as seen in this popular video showing different folks trying to use a soap dispenser with IR sensing: lighter skin works, darker skin does not trigger the distance sensor. (https://twitter.com/nke_ise/status/897756900753891328). Ultrasonic is another popular distance measurement, but its slower - relying on sound travel - and is very bulky since you need a transducer. You also can't have anything blocking the transducer. As we mentioned, the VL53L3CX is the latest in this family (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/vl53l3cx-time-of-flight-ranging-sensor) which started with the VL6180X and has grown since. This new chip is the same size and pinout as the previous VL53Lx chips so it should be an easy update. The nifty new capability in this sensor is that it can now track up to 4 objects distances at a time, instead of a single distance. Here are the specs: Long distance and accurate ranging up to 3 m Excellent short distance linearity ST histogram algorithms allow multi-target distance measurement and cover glass crosstalk immunity beyond 80 cm ST algorithms enable dynamic smudge compensation Very small package for easy integration (single module combining laser emitter, SPAD receiving array, and micro-controller in a reflowable package) Can be hidden behind various cover window material and colors (Creative ID) Not affected by target reflectance, material and color, or unlikely traditional IR proximity sensors These chips are super fresh, but you can use our existing EagleCAD design to create your own eval board. (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-VL53L0X-ToF-Distance-Sensor-PCB) There's a reel of chips available at Digi-Key for you to purchase right now! You can find them at part number 497-VL53L3CXV0DH-1CT-ND (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/VL53L3CXV0DH-1/497-VL53L3CXV0DH-1CT-ND/11658314) https://www.digikey.com/

From the Desk of Ladyada - The Great Search at Digi-Key. A new feature on Desk of Ladyada, we're still searching for the best name :) On our first episode of The Great Search with Digi-Key we go hunting for an inductor! Boost converters are ultra-integrated these days, so other than a few resistors and capacitors, we only need to spec out the power inductor. It's important to pick the right one - small enough to fit on the PCB, with enough current carrying capacity for our boosting, and low DC resistance for high efficiency! Join us as we show how to whittle down the thousands of available inductors to a few choice options. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bourns-inc/SRP6540-1R0M/SRP6540-1R0MCT-ND/3986033 https://www.digikey.com/products/en/inductors-coils-chokes/fixed-inductors/71?k=1uH+inductor&k=&pkeyword=1uH+inductor&sv=0&pv46=16612&pv46=16647&pv46=16765&pv46=16769&pv46=16890&pv46=16971&pv46=17116&pv46=17117&pv46=17118&pv46=17312&pv46=17313&pv46=454145&pv46=17314&pv46=17393&pv46=17394&pv46=17501&pv46=17502&pv46=17503&pv46=17673&pv46=17782&pv46=17786&pv46=17862&pv46=17863&pv46=18259&pv46=18324&pv46=18326&pv46=18551&pv46=18955&pv46=19069&pv46=19340&pv46=19479&sf=1&FV=7%7C1%2C69%7C409393%2C80%7C402031%2C1989%7C0%2Cmu1%C2%B5H%7C2087%2C-8%7C71%2Cmu11.5A%7C2088%2Cmu11.65A%7C2088%2Cmu11.8A%7C2088%2Cmu11.9A%7C2088%2Cmu11A%7C2088%2Cmu12.1A%7C2088%2Cmu12.2A%7C2088%2Cmu12.3A%7C2088%2Cmu12.5A%7C2088%2Cmu12.6A%7C2088%2Cmu12.8A%7C2088%2Cmu12A%7C2088%2Cmu13.7A%7C2088%2Cmu13.9A%7C2088%2Cmu13A%7C2088%2Cmu14.4A%7C2088%2Cmu14.5A%7C2088%2Cmu14A%7C2088%2Cmu15.5A%7C2088%2Cmu15.6A%7C2088%2Cmu15.94A%7C2088%2Cmu15A%7C2088%2Cmu16.5A%7C2088%2Cmu16A%7C2088%2Cmu17.3A%7C2088%2Cmu17.5A%7C2088%2Cmu17.6A%7C2088%2Cmu17.9A%7C2088%2Cmu17A%7C2088%2Cmu18.2A%7C2088%2Cmu18.5A%7C2088%2Cmu18A%7C2088%2Cmu19.22A%7C2088%2Cmu19.5A%7C2088%2Cmu19A%7C2088%2Cmu20.3A%7C2088%2Cmu20.8A%7C2088%2Cmu20A%7C2088%2Cmu21.5A%7C2088%2Cmu21.8A%7C2088%2Cmu21A%7C2088%2Cmu22.5A%7C2088%2Cmu22.9A%7C2088%2Cmu22A%7C2088%2Cmu23.5A%7C2088%2Cmu23.6A%7C2088%2Cmu23.9A%7C2088%2Cmu23A%7C2088%2Cmu24A%7C2088%2Cmu25A%7C2088%2Cmu26.7A%7C2088%2Cmu26A%7C2088%2Cmu27.5A%7C2088%2Cmu28.8A%7C2088%2Cmu28A%7C2088%2Cmu29A%7C2088%2Cmu30A%7C2088&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25 @Digi-Key #digikey #search #adafruit

SimpleLink video: https://www.digikey.com/en/videos/t/texas-instruments/simplelink-mcu-platform-sdk-code-portability BAW video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXtsmOmcpdY Product link: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/texas-instruments/CC2652RB1FRGZR/296-CC2652RB1FRGZRCT-ND/11502644 This week's EYE on NPI is a family of fresh wireless microcontrollers from TI that recently got a cute new update. The CC2652RB is the latest addition to the CC2652/CC1352 family, which a cool twist: there's no external crystals required for this 2.4GHz radio, the built in oscillator is temperature compensated and precise enough to keep the radio tuned! (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/texas-instruments/cc2652rb-simplelink-wireless-mcu) While researching it, I ended up looking up the rest of the family, so let's introduce them.The CC2652RB is the latest iteration of the CC2652R (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/texas-instruments/CC2652RB1FRGZR/296-CC2652RB1FRGZRCT-ND/11502644), which is the little sister to the CC1352R (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/texas-instruments/CC1352R1F3RGZR/296-CC1352R1F3RGZRCT-ND/10435240). These are part of the TI SimpleLink wireless family of chips - combining a Cortex M4 main processor with a wireless radio subprocessor, in one chip, for ultra-small and ultra-integrated wireless devices. TI has been developing chips in the CC wireless family for years, and they have a substantial segment of the market for WiFi, BLE, ZigBee, sub-GHz, etc. SimpleLink wireless is TI's API/IDE that builds on the MSP43x series of microcontrollers with wireless hardware tacked on so you can reuse the main application code, while changing the underlying protocol and transport. This is handy for IoT products because its common to design a product for WiFi or ZigBee and then release a version that is BLE. We have a video all about IoT protocols and transports if you'd like to familiarize yourself with the design decisions and trade-offs you'll face (https://learn.adafruit.com/alltheiot-transports)Let's check out the deets on this microcontroller set: Texas Instruments' CC2652RB SimpleLink multiprotocol 2.4 GHz wireless crystal-less MCU with integrated TI bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator technology supporting Thread, Zigbee®, Bluetooth® 5.1 low energy, IEEE 802.15.4, IPv6-enabled smart objects (6LoWPAN), proprietary systems including the TI 15.4-Stack (2.4 GHz), and concurrent multiprotocol operation through the dynamic multiprotocol manager (DMM) software driver. Integrated BAW resonator technology eliminates the need for external crystals without compromising latency or frequency stability. The CC2652RB device is optimized for low-power wireless communication and advanced sensing in building security systems, HVAC systems, medical, power tools, wired networking, portable electronics, home theater and entertainment, and connected peripheral markets.

Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/make-it-glow-how-to-solder-neopixels-a-beginners-guide/overview This guide is for beginners who are ready to take the next step in DIY electronics: putting that soldering iron to use to add NeoPixel or other addressable LED lights to your project. You don't have to be able to solder to use NeoPixels! Here is a beginner tutorial that shows how to use NeoPixels with no soldering: https://learn.adafruit.com/make-it-glow-your-first-neopixel-project However, there are times when soldering is really the best option. If you want to use NeoPixel rings, or individual pixels, or create more elaborate or complicated designs with multiple strips, there's really no way to do it without soldering. The good news: it's not as hard as you think! There are a fair number of tools to acquire, but once you've got your station set up, a whole world of creative possibilities will open up for you. In this guide, we'll recommend some tools and equipment that every DIY electronics maker should have in their workshop. Then, we'll go over the techniques and skills needed to get a good solder connection, and how to secure your connections it so they are sturdy and reliable. Finally, we'll cover some techniques for repairing broken strips, and troubleshooting help for when your project just won't behave the way you want.
