from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
An older project of ours, the STEMMA Friend, has been reborn as an RP2040 board, we'll show off some of the projects we got working with it over the weekend, improvements to the Arduino API for faster SPI and why framebuffering is awesome if you hrave the RAM. We also got an Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect working thanks to BlitzCity's PR - with WiFi too! Mr Ladyada wants a Tube Trinkey, so I picked up some VFD 7 segments that maybe we'll try to trinkify The Great Search - LEMO 'aviator' connectors https://www.digikey.com/short/qz1h1pbr If you want really amazing push-pull connectors, nothing beats LEMO connectors. These are sometimes called 'aviation' connectors and they're luxurious, durable, and vibration proof. Did you know you can buy LEMO on Digi-Key? Lets find some DIY 'Mechanical Keyboard USB Cable' connectors! #adafruit #deskofladyada #thegreatsearch 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/ -----------------------------------------
