Trying to design a great WLED board 🌈🦄🦃

Adafruit Industries ·

2024/11/28

While waiting for the turkey to finish brining, we’re designing a board for using WLED – and we want to make like the bestest board in the whole world. Our resident mermaid, firepixie, makes a lot of projects with WLED, and she loves it! So, how can we make something that will be powerful but not too bulky? Here are some things we’re thinking about as the design starts to congeal like cranberry sauce: Power via USB Type C PD with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12, and 20V (24V pixels can

Newxie prototype testing success 🦃🥧

2024/11/28

We just had a turkey nap and are now back to work. These vertical-mount 1.14" IPS TFT displays have 240 x 135 pixels and are 'stackable' horizontally on a breadboard or perfboard. There are just enough pins to control the TFT and backlight, so if you want to individually control each display, just have them share the SPI and DC pins, then have a unique chip select pin for each. These could make for cute 'flip' display simulations or faux nixie bulbs. The prototypes work fine; we just need to adjust

We bumped into Daniel from Lasers and LEDs (instagram.com/lasersandleds) at Maker Faire Bay Area 2024. Check out his awesome project! This thing was really amazing in person. The cube spins at variable rates and creates a stunning visual optical illusion.. it was unlike anything I'd seen before, and it was such a delight getting to meet Daniel and see his work.

Turn an old Apple Watch into a mini iPod!Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/ano-pod Use BLE on a Feather ESP32 S3 running CircuitPython with an ANO rotary encoder wheel to control the watch interface. This project features the ANO rotary encoder wheel. It’s got four directional buttons and a center button for scrolling and clicking. It’s essentially a wireless USB controller that pairs with an Apple Watch over BLE. It’s inspired by The Tiny Pod project we saw online, to make an open source and

We just got the OK to put the Pico 2 W in the shop. You can pick it up at https://www.adafruit.com/product/6087, and you might be wondering: hey, do you have CircuitPython built for it? The answer is YES! We have secretly added support, and v9.1.2 has a build ready. We'll be adding it to the https://circuitpython.org/downloads downloads page shortly, but if you've got one in hand before launch somehow, you can check out the builds in the Absolute Latest S3 Bucket

The Great Search: NEMA-23 Motors!

Adafruit Industries ·

2024/11/25

We got a suggestion from our Friend to make a board that plugs onto the back of a NEMA stepper motor with one of these drivers (https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-stepper-motors) which is a nifty idea that we've seen before (https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/quentinbolsee/tmc2209-xiao-rp2040): you minimize wire length and EMI because the high current/high-frequency signal is only going a few cm. Just watch out for your chip; you've got good heat sinking. There are standard sizes for steppers

A4988 breakout prototype testing ⚙️🔧

2024/11/24

We got our Allegro A4988 stepper driver breakout PCBs back and are ready to test them. First, we verified that STEP and DIR worked (yes!) and that the LEDs lit (yes, but we need to tweak the resistors to make the brightness even). Then we tried all of the stepper-settings, you can select 1, 4, 8, or 16-microsteps. All the sleep/reset/enable pins work. Finally, we checked the current limiting functionality with a potentiometer that can be twisted to select up to 2A current per coil. This directly

This week on the Great Search, we're following up on our Metro RP2350 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/11/11/metro-rp2350-now-with-bigger-better-rp2350b) design we showed off last week. One thing we designed in is plenty of space around the NOR Flash chip (https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/09/29/the-great-search-spi-nor-flash-memory-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit/) and PSRAM so that we can clip on a debugging probe.
