Yay our IS31FL3741 PCB is finally fabbed - we made some with two different LEDs to compare. Thankfully our yield was 100% for the 4 panels we manufactured. Next up we're going to test out and bring up our LED glasses design which is basically a mechanically 'deconstructed' version of the same board. Most annoying part? Doing the LED mapping! We actually found its easier to do that in CircuitPython first since we need to do very fast iteration. Special Request! Booster/DC-DC Switching Regulators with Low Quiescent Current https://www.digikey.com/short/r58fw35v This request came in on YouTube - someone looking for a low quiescent current boost regulator. This is a pretty common thing to look for, but its actually not easy to search for! Also, DC/DC regulators are hard-hit by the silicon shortage & we want to find one in stock. Tune in to find out some suggestions and how I found a good option to explore! #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/ -----------------------------------------
