Desk of Ladyada - These Digital Eyes SEE ALL!

We had a few PR's go into CircuitPython this week to add digital camera support to platforms with parallel-capture support. We started with SAMD51 and also added RP2040 thanks to some clever PIO work. PaintYourDragon and Jepler teamed up to one-two-punch Arduino and CircuitPy support at once, starting with with classic OV7670 cameras and then moving onto the OV2640's next. This could be great for simple vision/TinyML projects. We also added "Pico-as-hardware-peripheral-for-Blinka" support thanks to u2if https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/pull/449 which works very nicely and at a price one can't beat! THE GREAT SEARCH - Latching Power Relay for FeatherWing https://www.digikey.com/short/787r7q4h This week's THE GREAT SEARCH comes to us by special request! A kindly person posted up in the forum asking us to make a Latching Power Relay FeatherWing https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=178547 We have a latching relay wing already over at https://www.adafruit.com/product/2923 but its not very high current - rated at about 70 Watts, that means at 240VAC you can only switch 0.3A. Compare that to our Power Relay Wing, which can do an impressive 1200 Watts! https://www.adafruit.com/product/3191 Why would we make a latching version, what's single/double winding? Lets learn & see what latching relays we can find that we could turn into a Wing! #adafruit #digikey #deskofladyada 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/ -----------------------------------------
