Desk of Ladyada - How we code up a sensor board tester!

Last week we showed that the VL53L1X has the same shape and pinout as the VL53L0X, making it an easy addition to our collection of STEMMA QT boards. We ordered new boards with a different silkscreen and now its time to make a tester. Our sensor breakout testers follow a common process - we don't have a library or anything but we'll show how we test each element of a sensor! The Great Search - Antistatic foam blocks https://www.digikey.com/short/wf90rnzb "Do you have a vendor you could recommend for the antistatic foam blocks you use for products with pre-soldered male pin headers? We’re on the hunt for one and would be happy to take any advice you all have! - Thanks!" We got an email request this week from another maker in the community, who is making and selling hardware with pre-soldered pin headers. They were wondering where we get our antistatic foam for our pre-soldered boards. Great question for a Great Search! We'll show you the different kinds of foam and the sizes we recommend. #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/ -----------------------------------------
