We're drunk on Trinkey's here - we tested our four pending designs: slide trinkey, neokey trinkey, rotary trinkey and prox/light trinkey. All working well, we made Arduino and CircuitPython definitions for all four, and wrote a little example code. We also got a funky rotary encoder sample, a Kano Motion Sensor unboxing/teardown and a preview of BUNDLE FLY - the new CircuitPython library manager built into the adafruit learning system! We also started thinking about a Trinkey for connecting any I2C sensor, maybe a QT Trinkey...which we're going a slightly different direction with. The Great Search - Nylon PCB Spacers https://www.digikey.com/short/3vwj40b0 For our new QT Trinkey design we want to have QT sensors snap on with little plastic standoffs that have nubbins in them. What are these called? What sort of types are available and how do you buy them on Digi-Key? We'll go on a quest to get the perfect standoffs for our modular system!
