MCP23017 QT 'drop n beep' tester + some PINK PCB samples
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
Ladyada's desk is jam packed with goodies :) first up, we're trying to always order the tester PCBs when we get our panels in, so we don't have to mill out a prototype on the bantam unless something goes amiss. this is a 'drop n beep' tester - where it repeatedly attempts to test and then beeps/blinks on success. the production team loves these kinds of testers. then, we got some 'pantone chips' made of PCB material with copper underneath, from our board house, to match the PCBway pink. this is so we have two sources of PCBs - we've been seeing lockdowns take out some of our suppliers lately! this is Pantone 204 C (hex #E782A9). nice color right? don't forget, you can STILL get a free pink Feather RP2040 when you order $99 or more from adafruit.com - https://www.adafruit.com/product/5299 we will run out in a few days so don't wait too long! #adafruit #pink #pantone 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/ -----------------------------------------
