The Desk of Ladyada - A nifty SONY turntable, and a few chips we're checkin out

We have been on the lookout for a Sony Flamingo - a very retro-futuristic turntable that can play singles or LPs using a funky minimalist design. It is a gorgeous piece of machinery. Meanwhile, we know folks like using a Raspi to make a 'pihole' ad/malware blocking DNS server but pi's are hard to get, so we looked at turning a Feather ESP32-S2 TFT into an 'esphole' and found a great project to fork off and tweak https://github.com/s60sc/ESP32_AdBlocker We've added mass storage config, and a TFT display to show the IP address and status. We also threw together a quick breakout for a very nice precision magnetometer the MMC5983 https://www.digikey.com/short/m43v5mtj and we're taking a peek at an interesting USB PD chip the HUSB238 which has a resistor set for current and voltage as well as I2C configuration port! #deskofladyada #thegreatsearch #adafruit 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/ -----------------------------------------
